English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

I swear by the Mountain

And the Book written

In an outstretched fine parchment

And the House (Kaaba) that is visited

And the elevated canopy

And the swollen sea

Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come to pass

There shall be none to avert it

On the day when the heaven shall move from side to side

And the mountains shall pass away passing away (altogether)

So woe on that day to those who reject (the truth)

Those who sport entering into vain discourses

The day on which they shall be driven away to the fire of hell with violence

This is the fire which you used to give the lie to

Is it magic then or do you not see

Enter into it, then bear (it) patiently, or do not bear (it) patiently, it is the same to you; you shall be requited only (for) what you did

Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and bliss

Rejoicing because of what their Lord gave them, and their Lord saved them from the punishment of the burning fire

Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did

Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We will unite them to large-eyed beautiful ones

And (as for) those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will unite with them their offspring and We will not diminish to them aught of their work; every man is responsible for what he shall have wrought

And We will aid them with fruit and flesh such as they desire

They shall pass therein from one to another a cup wherein there shall be nothing vain nor any sin

And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls

And some of them shall advance towards others questioning each other

Saying: Surely we feared before on account of our families

But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the punishment of the hot wind

Surely we called upon Him before: Surely He is the Benign, the Merciful

Therefore continue to remind, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer, or a madman

Or do they say: A poet, we wait for him the evil accidents of time

Say: Wait, for surely I too with you am of those who wait

Nay! do their understandings bid them this? Or are they an inordinate people

Or do they say: He has forged it. Nay! they do not believe

Then let them bring an announcement like it if they are truthful

Or were they created without there being anything, or are they the creators

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! they have no certainty

Or have they the treasures of your Lord with them? Or have they been set in absolute authority

Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority

Or has He daughters while you have sons

Or do you ask them for a reward, so that they are overburdened by a debt

Or have they the unseen so that they write (it) down

Or do they desire a war? But those who disbelieve shall be the vanquished ones in war

Or have they a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him)

And if they should see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled up clouds

Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon (with terror)

The day on which their struggle shall not avail them aught, nor shall they be helped

And surely those who are unjust shall have a punishment besides that (in the world), but most of them do not know

And wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, for surely you are before Our eyes, and sing the praise of your Lord when you rise
