English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

By the mount of Tur

and by a book, written

on an unrolled scroll

and by the Populated House (Al-Bait-ul-Ma‘mur)

and by the roof, raised high

and by the sea, flared up (with fire)

the punishment of your Lord is sure to fall

There is nothing to push it back

the Day when the sky will tremble, a horrible trembling

and the mountains will move about, a terrible movement

So, woe to those who reject (the true faith)

who are indulged in vain talk, playing (with truth)

the Day they will be pushed to the Fire forcefully

(and it will be said to them,) .This is the Fire you used to deny

Is it then magic, or do you not see

Enter it. Now, whether you endure (it) patiently or impatiently, it is all the same for you; you are merely rewarded for what you used to do

Of course, the God-fearing will be in gardens and bliss

enjoying what their Lord will have given to them, and their Lord will have saved them from the punishment of Hell

(It will be said to them,) .Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you used to do

relaxing on lined up couches. And We will marry them with big-eyed houris

And those who believed and their children followed them in belief, We will join their children with them, and will not curtail (the reward of) any of their deeds at all. Every person will be pledged for what he earned

And We will go on giving them whatever they desire of fruits and meat

They will snatch from one another (in a friendly manner) a glass (of wine) carrying neither absurd talk, nor something leading to sin

And their own serving boys will rotate around them, (who will be as neat and clean) as if they were hidden pearls

And they will advance to one another, asking (about each other‘s welfare)

They will say, .Indeed we were afraid (of Allah‘s punishment) when we were amidst our family

but Allah did favour to us and saved us from the torment of Fire‘s scorching breath

We used to pray to Him before. He is surely the Most-Kind, the Very-Merciful

So keep reminding (them), because by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a mad man

Do they rather say, .He is a poet for whom we are awaiting the accident of death

Say, .Wait! I am waiting with you, too

Is it their intellects that direct them to (say) this, or are they a rebellious people

Do they rather say, .He has forged it (the Qur‘an.).? No, but they do not believe

So, let them bring a discourse like this, if they are truthful

Is it that they are created by none, or are they themselves the creators

Or have they created the heavens and the earth? No, but they are sure of nothing

Or do they have the treasures of your Lord, or have they acquired control (over them)

Or have they a stairway (to the heavens) by means of which they listen (to the divine decrees)? If so, their listener must bring a clear proof

Is it that He has daughters and you have sons

Or is it that you (O prophet) ask them for a fee, and therefore they are burdened with a liability

Or have they the knowledge of the Unseen, and they are recording it

Or do they intend to plan to do harm (to the prophet)? Then the disbelievers themselves shall be harmed by the plan

Or do they have a god other than Allah? Pure is Allah from what they associate with Him

Even if they see a piece falling down from the sky, they would say, .It is a cumulated cloud

So, leave them alone until they face their Day, in which they will be turned unconscious

And for those who did wrong there is another punishment before that, but most of them do not know

And (O Prophet) be patient about the decision of your Lord, because you are in front of Our Eyes. And proclaim the purity of your Lord along with His praise when you stand (in Prayer)

And, in parts of night too, proclaim His purity, and at the time of setting of the stars
