Sura al-Tur

52:1. By the Mount (Sinai [al-Tur], where Allah spoke to Musa [Moses]),

والطور

52:2. by the Book inscribed,

وكتاب مسطور

52:3. on an unrolled parchment;

في رق منشور

52:4. by the (Sacred) House frequently visited (in the Heavens);

والبيت المعمور

52:5. by the roof highly raised (in the Heavens);

والسقف المرفوع

52:6. by the ocean surging over,

والبحر المسجور

52:7. indeed, the punishment of your Lord will come to pass.

إن عذاب ربك لواقع

52:8. None can avert it.

ما له من دافع

52:9. On the Day when the sky spins around violently,

يوم تمور السماء مورا

52:10. and the mountains fly fast (and scatter like dust particles),

وتسير الجبال سيرا

52:11. so terrible will be the suffering of the deniers on that Day,

فويل يومئذ للمكذبين

52:12. those who amuse themselves with falsehood.

الذين هم في خوض يلعبون

52:13. (It is) the Day they will be pushed forcibly towards the Fire of Hell.

يوم يدعون إلى نار جهنم دعا

52:14. (They will be told:) ‘This is the Fire which you used to deny.

هذه النار التي كنتم بها تكذبون

52:15. Is this magic, or is it you who do not see?

أفسحر هذا أم أنتم لا تبصرون

52:16. Enter it (and burn): whether you are patient or impatient, it will be the same for you. You are only being rewarded for what you used to do.’

اصلوها فاصبروا أو لا تصبروا سواء عليكم إنما تجزون ما كنتم تعملون

52:17. Indeed, the God-conscious will be in the Gardens and Bliss,

إن المتقين في جنات ونعيم

52:18. rejoicing in whatever their Lord has granted them. And their Lord has saved them from the punishment of Hell.

فاكهين بما آتاهم ربهم ووقاهم ربهم عذاب الجحيم

52:19. (They will be told:) ‘Enjoy your food and drink as a reward for what you used to do.’

كلوا واشربوا هنيئا بما كنتم تعملون

52:20. They will be comfortably reclining on couches arranged in rows, and We will marry them to beautiful maidens with dazzling eyes.

متكئين على سرر مصفوفة وزوجناهم بحور عين

52:21. The believers and their descendants who followed them in faith, We shall make their offspring join them (by elevating them to their rank). And We will not reduce anything from (the reward of) their deeds. Every person will be held in pledge for what he has earned.

والذين آمنوا واتبعتهم ذريتهم بإيمان ألحقنا بهم ذريتهم وما ألتناهم من عملهم من شيء كل امرئ بما كسب رهين

52:22. We will provide them with fruit and meat, as they desire.

وأمددناهم بفاكهة ولحم مما يشتهون

52:23. There, they will pass a cup (of pure wine) to each other, (and) there will be neither any foolish talk nor sinful speech.

يتنازعون فيها كأسا لا لغو فيها ولا تأثيم

52:24. And their (attendant) youths will go around them as if they were hidden pearls.

ويطوف عليهم غلمان لهم كأنهم لؤلؤ مكنون

52:25. Some of them will advance towards others, questioning each other.

وأقبل بعضهم على بعض يتساءلون

52:26. They will say: ‘Before this (blessing), we used to be apprehensive about our families.

قالوا إنا كنا قبل في أهلنا مشفقين

52:27. But Allah showed us (His) favour and protected us from the punishment of the burning heat (of Hell).

فمن الله علينا ووقانا عذاب السموم

52:28. Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, He is the Most-Gracious, the All-Merciful.’

إنا كنا من قبل ندعوه إنه هو البر الرحيم

52:29. So, (O Prophet!) continue to remind (them). By the grace of your Lord, you are neither a fortune-teller nor a madman.

فذكر فما أنت بنعمت ربك بكاهن ولا مجنون

52:30. Or do they say: ‘(He is) a poet, for whom we (eagerly) await a misfortune of time?”

أم يقولون شاعر نتربص به ريب المنون

52:31. Say: ‘Wait! For I am also waiting with you.’

قل تربصوا فإني معكم من المتربصين

52:32. Or do their minds prompt them to say this (foolish thing)? Or are they (just) rebellious people?

أم تأمرهم أحلامهم بهذا أم هم قوم طاغون

52:33. Or do they say: ‘He has forged it (i.e. the Qur’an)’? Instead, they do not believe (in the truth).

أم يقولون تقوله بل لا يؤمنون

52:34. Let them bring a discourse like this (Qur’an) if they are truthful.

فليأتوا بحديث مثله إن كانوا صادقين

52:35. Or were they created from nothing? Or are they (their own) creators?

أم خلقوا من غير شيء أم هم الخالقون

52:36. Did they create the heavens and the earth? Instead, they are not certain (about anything).

أم خلقوا السماوات والأرض بل لا يوقنون

52:37. Or do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the controllers (of its distribution)?

أم عندهم خزائن ربك أم هم المصيطرون

52:38. Or do they have a ladder (leading up to heaven) whereby they can listen? Then, let their listener produce a manifest authority.

أم لهم سلم يستمعون فيه فليأت مستمعهم بسلطان مبين

52:39. Or does He have daughters while you have sons?

أم له البنات ولكم البنون

52:40. Or do you ask them (O Prophet!) for a reward (for conveying the message) such that they are overburdened with debt?

أم تسألهم أجرا فهم من مغرم مثقلون

52:41. Or do they have (knowledge of) the Unseen that they write down?

أم عندهم الغيب فهم يكتبون

52:42. Or do they desire to scheme (against you, O Prophet)? Then, the disbelievers themselves shall be the victims of (their) schemes.

أم يريدون كيدا فالذين كفروا هم المكيدون

52:43. Or do they have any god besides Allah? Glory be to Allah from the partners they ascribe (to Him).

أم لهم إله غير الله سبحان الله عما يشركون

52:44. Even if they saw a fragment falling from the sky, they would say: ‘(This is just) a heap of layered clouds.’

وإن يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا سحاب مركوم

52:45. So leave them until they encounter their Day, in which they will be thunderstruck,

فذرهم حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي فيه يصعقون

52:46. the Day when their scheming will not avail them in any way, nor will they be helped.

يوم لا يغني عنهم كيدهم شيئا ولا هم ينصرون

52:47. Indeed, for the wrongdoers, there is a punishment besides that, but most of them do not know.

وإن للذين ظلموا عذابا دون ذلك ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون

52:48. So submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord, for indeed you are before Our Eyes (all the time). And glorify the praise of your Lord when you rise (at dawn).

* So what if the evildoers have turned away their eyes! We do not shift Our Eyes from you and keep seeing you all the time.

واصبر لحكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا وسبح بحمد ربك حين تقوم

52:49. And glorify Him during the night and at the setting of the stars.

ومن الليل فسبحه وإدبار النجوم
