English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

By the mount Tur (where Moses was given the Torah)

and by the Book written

on a fine unfolded scroll

and by the inhabited House

and the elevated canopy (sky)

and the surging ocean

the torment of your Lord will surely come to pass

There shall be none to avert it

On that Day, heaven will shake violently

and the mountain will travel around

On that Day, woe be to the deniers of truth

who are engaged in their useless sports

On that Day they shall be driven to the fire of hell with violence

Is this a magic, or do you not see

Now burn therein; it will be the same for you, whether you bear it patiently or do not bear it patiently. You are being rewarded according to your deeds

As for the righteous, they will be in Gardens and bliss

rejoicing in what their Lord has given them and their Lord shall shield them from the torment of hell

It will be said to them: "Eat and drink to your hearts content, this is the reward for your good deeds

They shall recline on couches arranged in rows; and We shall wed them with beautiful Huris (damsels)

We shall unite the true believers with those of their descendants who follow them in their faith, and shall not deny them the reward of their good deeds - everyone is responsible for his deeds

and We shall provide them fruits, and such meats as they desire

They will pass from hand to hand a cup of wine which shall cause no idle talk, nor sinful urge

and there shall wait for them young boys, exclusively appointed for their service, who will be as handsome as treasured pearls

They will converse with one another about their worldly life

and say: "When we were living among our kinfolk, we were troubled by many fears

But Allah has been gracious to us; He has delivered us from the fiery scourge

Indeed we used to pray only to Him. Surely He is the Beneficent, the Merciful

Therefore, O Prophet, keep up your mission of admonition. By the grace of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman

Do they say: "He is but a poet! We are waiting for some misfortune to befall him

Tell them: "Wait if you will; I too shall wait with you

Does their faculties of reasoning prompt them to say this? Or is it merely that they are wicked people

Do they say: "This man has invented this Qur’an himself?" Nay! They do not want to believe

Let them produce a scripture like this, if what they say is true

Were they created without a Creator? Or were they their own creators

Did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! They will never be convinced

Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or is it they who control them

Do they have a stairway to heaven by means of which they overhear Him? If so, let any of them who overheard Him, bring clear proof

Is He to have daughters and you sons

Do you ask them payment for your services, that they should fear to be overburdened by a debt

Do they have the knowledge of the unseen? Can they write it down

Do they intend to devise a plot against you? If so, the disbelievers themselves will be trapped in their plot

Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah, far above those deities they associate with Him

They are such people that, even if they will see a part of heaven falling down, they would say: "It is but a mass of clouds

So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon with terror

The Day when their designs will avail them nothing and none will help them

Surely for such wrongdoers, there is another punishment besides that, even though most of them do not realize that

Therefore, wait for the Judgment of your Lord with patience, We are surely watching over you. Glorify your Lord with His praises when you wake up

and glorify Him in a part of the night, and also as the stars fade away
