English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

By the mount

By the book inscribed

In parchment unrolled

By the House Frequented

By the roof elevated

By the sea overflowing

Verily the torment of thine Lord is sure to befalls

Of it there is no averter

On the Day whereon the heaven will shake with an awful shaking

And the mountains will move away with an awful movement

Woe, then, will be on that Day to the beliers

Those who in wading sport themselves

On the Day whereon they will be pushed into Hell-Fire with a dreadful push

This is the Fire which ye were wont to believe

Is this magic? or ye still see not clearly

Roast therein; endure it or endure it not, thereof it is equal Unto you. Ye are only being requited for that which ye have been working

Verily the God-fearing will bein Gardens and Delight

Rejoicing in that which their Lord hath vouchsafed Unto them; and their Lord will protect them from the torment of the Flame

Eat and drink with relish for that which ye have been working

Reclining on couches ranged. And We shall couple them with maidens wide eyed

And those who believe and whose progeny follow them in belief. We shall cause their progeny to join them, and We shall not diminish Unto them aught of their own work. Every man is for that which he hath earned a pledge

And We shall increasingly give them fruit and meat such as they desire

They will therein snatch from one another a cup; therein will be neither vain babble nor sin

And there will go round on them youths appointed to attend them as though they were pearls hidden

And they will advance Unto each other asking questions

They will say: verily we were aforetime, midst our household, ever in dread

Wherefore Allah hath obliged us, and hath protected us from the torment of the Scorch

Verily we were wont to pray Unto Him aforetime; verily He! it is He, the Benign, the Merciful

Wherefore admonish thou! thou art not, by the grace of thy Lord, a soothsayer or a madman

Or say they: a poet for whom we wait some adverse turn of fortune

Say thou: waits verily I am, with you, among the waiters

Enjoin them their understandings to this? or are they a people conumacious

Or say they: he hath fabricated it: aye they will not believe

Let them bring a discourse like thereUnto, if they say sooth

Have they not been created by aught, or are they the creators

Created they the heavens and the earth! Aye! they will not be convinced

Are with them the treasures of thy Lord! or are they the dispensers

Have they a stairway whereby they overhear? Then let their listener bring an authority manifest

Hath He daughters and ye sons

Or askest thou a hire from them so that they are with debt laden

Is with them the Unseen, and they write it down

Seek they to lay a plot? Then those who disbelieve it is they who shall be plotted against

Is theirs a god beside Allah? Hallowed be Allah from that which they associate

And if they should see a fragment of the heaven falling down, they would say: it is only clouds piled up

Wherefore let them alone, till they meet their Day whereon they shall swoon

A Day whereon their plotting will avail them not at all, nor will they be succoured

And verily for those who do wrong there is a torment before that; but most of them know not

And wait thou patiently the judgment of thy Lord; verily thou art before Our eyes; and hallow the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest
