English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

The Mount acts as a witness

(The) Book written in straight lines acts as a witness

on wide pieces of parchment-paper

‘Always being visited’ House (The Kaba) acts as a witness

The elevated roof (as Heaven) acts as a witness

The sea in high tides acts as a witness

Surely, the torment coming from your Nourisher-Sustainer is about to occur without any doubt

(There is) not unto it any who can avert

The Day the heaven trembles in a dreadful shahead of state

and the mountains slide away in a swift movement

Then woe that Day for the deniers —

those: they sport and play in senseless items

The Day they are pushed down to the Fire of Hell, pushing down with full force

This is the Fire which you used to deny

Is this then magic ? Or you people do not see (the reality)

Slide you therein. Then (whether) you show patience or you do not show patience — (it is the) same to you. Surely what (is a fact is that) you will be rewarded what you had been doing

Verily, the Muttaqun will be in Gardens and Bliss

as those who enjoy with what their Nourisher-Sustainer has provided them; and their Nourisher-Sustainer has saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire

Eat and drink Haniyan (in full happiness) because of what you used to do (in your worldly life) —

recliners on couches arranged in rows; and We provided them the company of Hurin Eenin

And those who have Believed and whose offspring followed them with Faith We did join to these their offspring; and We did not nullify from their deed any thing. Every individual, for what he has earned (in his worldly life,is) mortgaged

And We provided them assistance in (getting) fruits and meat, such as they desire

Therein they shall toast the cup (showing their attachment to one another); there shall be no Laghw [dirty, bad or intoxicating (-effect thereof)] therein; and nor Tasim (a sinful act)

And there will move all around them youthful boys reserved for them — as if they are pearls guarded and preserved

And some of them came directly in front of some others; they would question one another

They said: “Verily, we used to be, aforetime, among our family-members and followers as those who were always conscious of the position (of Allah)

So Allah showered grace on us, and He saved us from the torment of an extremely hot atmosphere

So propagate the Message. So, by the Grace of your Nourisher-Sustainer you are not a clairvoyant, and nor a fanatic

Or do they say: “ Is he a poet? We await doubt and suspicion which people will have about the Divine‘good and grace’ (which some relate to his person).”

Say: “Wait. Then surely I am with you being out of those who await.”

Do their delusions command them for this, or they are a nation of those who exceed the bounds

Or do they say: “He (who is propagating the Book) has (himself) uttered it (i.e., he himself is its producer and author)?” Nay, they (actually) develop not Faith (in Allah’s Book)

Let them then come with Hadees like unto it if they happened to be those who speak the truth

Have they been created out of nothing, or they themselves (are) the creators

Or have they created the heavens and the earth? Nay! They develop not the certainty in Faith

Or, are with them treasures of your Nourisher-Sustainer, or are they the keepers (controllers thereof)

Or, for them is a receiver they listen to therein (the secret signals of the heavenly administration)? Then let their listener approach with evident power

Or, for Him the daughters and for you the sons

Do you ask them for a reward, so they with a load of debt are burdened people

Or, with them (under their surveilance is) Al-ghaib (the unseen), so they record it down

Or, they intend a plan? Rather those who have disbelieved: they (themselves are) those who are encircled and caught in a stratagem

Or, for them is an ilah other than Allah? Be Allah glorified against what they ascribe as partners (to Him)

And if they watch a piece as one falling down from towards the sky, they will say: “Clouds, piled-up!”

So leave them till they meet their Day — that (one) wherein they will be over-taken by a thunder bolt

(That) Day their plotting does not benefit them at all, and nor they will be helped

And verily, for those who have transgressed (awaits) a torment additional to this; but the majority of them do not know

So show steadfastness for the Ordainment of your Nourisher-Sustainer. So verily, you are under (protection of) Our Eyes. And glorify with the Praise of your Nourisher-Sustainer when you stand up (for offering or leading a Prayer)

And out (of the hours) of the night, do glorify Him and (at the) retreat of the stars. [This is a recommendation for Isha and Fajr Prayers]
