English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

By the mount

and by a Book inscribed

on an unrolled scroll of parchment

and by the frequented House

and by the exalted roof

and that which is poured forth over the seas

truly, the punishment of Thy Lord is that which falls

There is no one who averts it

On a Day when the heaven will spin a spinning

and the mountains will journey a journey

Then, woe on a Day to the ones who deny

they, those are engaging in idle talk, play

This is the fire which you had been denying

Is this, then, sorcery or is it that you perceive not

Roast you in it! Then, have patience, or you endure patiently not, it is all the same to you. You will be only given recompense for what you had been doing

Truly, the ones who are Godfearing will be in Gardens and bliss

ones who are joyful for what their Lord gave them. And their Lord protected them from the punishment of hellfire

Eat and drink wholesomely because of what you had been doing

They will be ones who are reclining on couches arrayed. And We will give in marriage to them lovely, most beautiful eyed ones

And those who believed and their offspring who followed them in belief, We caused them to join their offspring. And We deprived them not of anything of their actions. Every man will be pledged for what he earned

And We furnished relief to them with sweet fruit and meat such as that for which they lust

They will contend with one another for a cup around which there is no idle talk nor accusation of sinfulness

And boys of theirs will go around them as if they had been well-guarded pearls

And some of them will come forward to some others demanding of one another

They would say: Truly, we had been before ones who are apprehensive among our people

but God showed grace to us and protected us from the punishment of the burning wind

Truly, we had been calling to Him before. Truly, He, He is The Source of Goodness, The Compassionate

So remind! Thou art not, by the divine blessing of thy Lord, a soothsayer nor one who is possessed

Or they say: A poet! We await for the setback of fate for him

Say: Await for I am with the ones who are waiting

Or command their faculties of understanding to this? Or are they a folk, ones who are defiant

Or say they: He fabricated it? Nay! They believe not

Then, let them bring a discourse like it, if they had been ones who are sincere

Or were they created out of nothing? Or are they ones who are creators of themselves

Or created they the heavens and the earth? Nay! They are not certain

Or are the treasures of thy Lord with them? Or are they ones who are registrars

Or have they a ladder by means of which they listen? Then, let ones who are listening bring a clear authority

Or has He daughters and they have sons

Or hast thou asked them for a compensation so that they are from something owed ones who will be weighed down

Or is the unseen with them and they write it down

Or want they cunning? But it is those who were ungrateful. They are the ones who are outwitted

Or have they a god other than God? Glory be to God above partners they ascribe

And if they consider pieces of the heaven descending, they would say: Heaped up clouds

So forsake them until they encounter their day in which they will be swooning

A Day when their cunning will avail them not at all nor will they be helped

And, truly, for those who did wrong there is a punishment besides that, but most of them know not

So have thou patience for the determination of thy Lord, for, truly, thou art under Our eyes; and glorify the praises of thy Lord when thou hast stood up at the time of dawn

and glorify at night and the drawing back of the stars
