English - Chapter 52 - At-Tur

By Mount Ṭûr

And by the Book written

on open pages ˹for all to read˺

And by the ˹Sacred˺ House frequently visited

And by the canopy raised ˹high˺

And by the seas set on fire

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will come to pass—

none will avert it—

on the Day the heavens will be shaken violently

and the mountains will be blown away entirely

Then woe on that Day to the deniers—

those who amuse themselves with falsehood

˹It is˺ the Day they will be fiercely shoved into the Fire of Hell

˹They will be told,˺ “This is the Fire which you used to deny

Is this magic, or do you not see

Burn in it! It is the same whether you endure ˹it˺ patiently or not. You are only rewarded for what you used to do.”

Indeed, the righteous will be in Gardens and bliss

enjoying whatever their Lord will have granted them. And their Lord will have protected them from the torment of the Hellfire

˹They will be told,˺ “Eat and drink happily for what you used to do.”

They will be reclining on thrones, ˹neatly˺ lined up ˹facing each other˺. And We will pair them to maidens with gorgeous eyes

As for those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith, We will elevate their descendants to their rank, never discounting anything ˹of the reward˺ of their deeds. Every person will reap only what they sowed

And We will ˹continually˺ provide them with whatever fruit or meat they desire

They will pass around to each other a drink ˹of pure wine,˺ which leads to no idle talk or sinfulness

And they will be waited on by their youthful servants like spotless pearls

They will turn to one another inquisitively

They will say, “Before ˹this reward˺ we used to be in awe ˹of Allah˺ in the midst of our people

So Allah has graced us and protected us from the torment of ˹Hell’s˺ scorching heat

Indeed, we used to call upon Him ˹alone˺ before. He is truly the Most Kind, Most Merciful.”

So ˹continue to˺ remind ˹all, O Prophet˺. For you, by the grace of your Lord, are not a fortune-teller or a madman

Or do they say, “˹He is˺ a poet, for whom we ˹eagerly˺ await an ill-fate!”

Say, “Keep waiting! I too am waiting with you.”

Or do their ˹intelligent˺ minds prompt them to this ˹paradox˺? Or are they ˹just˺ a transgressing people

Or do they say, “He made this ˹Quran˺ up!”? In fact, they have no faith

Let them then produce something like it, if what they say is true

Or were they created by nothing, or are they ˹their own˺ creators

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they have no firm belief ˹in Allah˺

Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control ˹of everything˺

Or does He have daughters ˹as you claim˺, while you ˹prefer to˺ have sons

Or are you ˹O Prophet˺ asking them for a reward ˹for the message˺ so that they are overburdened by debt

Or do they have access to ˹the Record in˺ the unseen, so they copy it ˹for all to see˺

Or do they intend to scheme ˹against the Prophet˺? Then it is the disbelievers who will fall victim to ˹their˺ schemes

Or do they have a god other than Allah? Glorified is Allah far above what they associate ˹with Him˺

If they were to see a ˹deadly˺ piece of the sky fall down ˹upon them˺, still they would say, “˹This is just˺ a pile of clouds.”

So leave them until they face their Day in which they will be struck dead—

the Day their scheming will be of no benefit to them whatsoever, nor will they be helped

Also, the wrongdoers will certainly have another torment before that ˹Day˺, but most of them do not know

So be patient with your Lord’s decree, for you are truly under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes. And glorify the praises of your Lord when you rise

And glorify Him during part of the night and at the fading of the stars
