Chapter 52. The Mount

At-Tur 52:1

وَٱلطُّورِ

By the Mount,

At-Tur 52:2

وَكِتَٰبٖ مَّسۡطُورٖ

And a Scripture inscribed

At-Tur 52:3

فِي رَقّٖ مَّنشُورٖ

On fine parchment unrolled,

At-Tur 52:4

وَٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡمُورِ

And the House frequented,

At-Tur 52:5

وَٱلسَّقۡفِ ٱلۡمَرۡفُوعِ

And the roof exalted,

At-Tur 52:6

وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ ٱلۡمَسۡجُورِ

And the sea kept filled,

At-Tur 52:7

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٞ

Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;

At-Tur 52:8

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٖ

There is none that can ward it off.

At-Tur 52:9

يَوۡمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوۡرٗا

On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving,

At-Tur 52:10

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ سَيۡرٗا

And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,

At-Tur 52:11

فَوَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Then woe that day unto the deniers

At-Tur 52:12

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي خَوۡضٖ يَلۡعَبُونَ

Who play in talk of grave matters;

At-Tur 52:13

يَوۡمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا

The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell

At-Tur 52:14

هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

(And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.

At-Tur 52:15

أَفَسِحۡرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمۡ أَنتُمۡ لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

Is this magic, or do ye not see?

At-Tur 52:16

ٱصۡلَوۡهَا فَٱصۡبِرُوٓاْ أَوۡ لَا تَصۡبِرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ إِنَّمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

Endure the heat thereof, and whether ye are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.

At-Tur 52:17

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَنَعِيمٖ

Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,

At-Tur 52:18

فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.

At-Tur 52:19

كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,

At-Tur 52:20

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّصۡفُوفَةٖۖ وَزَوَّجۡنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٖ

Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.

At-Tur 52:21

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّبَعَتۡهُمۡ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلۡحَقۡنَا بِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ وَمَآ أَلَتۡنَٰهُم مِّنۡ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَيۡءٖۚ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيِٕۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٞ

And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nought of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned.

At-Tur 52:22

وَأَمۡدَدۡنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٖ وَلَحۡمٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.

At-Tur 52:23

يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأۡسٗا لَّا لَغۡوٞ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمٞ

There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.

At-Tur 52:24

۞وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غِلۡمَانٞ لَّهُمۡ كَأَنَّهُمۡ لُؤۡلُؤٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ

And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.

At-Tur 52:25

وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,

At-Tur 52:26

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبۡلُ فِيٓ أَهۡلِنَا مُشۡفِقِينَ

Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;

At-Tur 52:27

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ

But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.

At-Tur 52:28

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبۡلُ نَدۡعُوهُۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.

At-Tur 52:29

فَذَكِّرۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٖ وَلَا مَجۡنُونٍ

Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman.

At-Tur 52:30

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٞ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيۡبَ ٱلۡمَنُونِ

Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time?

At-Tur 52:31

قُلۡ تَرَبَّصُواْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُتَرَبِّصِينَ

Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant.

At-Tur 52:32

أَمۡ تَأۡمُرُهُمۡ أَحۡلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآۚ أَمۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ

Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk?

At-Tur 52:33

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥۚ بَل لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but they will not believe!

At-Tur 52:34

فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِحَدِيثٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful.

At-Tur 52:35

أَمۡ خُلِقُواْ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ شَيۡءٍ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ

Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators?

At-Tur 52:36

أَمۡ خَلَقُواْ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing!

At-Tur 52:37

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡمُصَۜيۡطِرُونَ

Or do they own the treasures of thy Lord? Or have they been given charge (thereof)?

At-Tur 52:38

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ سُلَّمٞ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ فِيهِۖ فَلۡيَأۡتِ مُسۡتَمِعُهُم بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ

Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest!

At-Tur 52:39

أَمۡ لَهُ ٱلۡبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ

Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons?

At-Tur 52:40

أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمٖ مُّثۡقَلُونَ

Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt?

At-Tur 52:41

أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ

Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down?

At-Tur 52:42

أَمۡ يُرِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗاۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡمَكِيدُونَ

Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger)? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared!

At-Tur 52:43

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ إِلَٰهٌ غَيۡرُ ٱللَّهِۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

Or have they any god beside Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!

At-Tur 52:44

وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ كِسۡفٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطٗا يَقُولُواْ سَحَابٞ مَّرۡكُومٞ

And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds.

At-Tur 52:45

فَذَرۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يُصۡعَقُونَ

Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their day, in which they will be thunder-stricken,

At-Tur 52:46

يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُمۡ كَيۡدُهُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

A day in which their guile will naught avail them, nor will they be helped.

At-Tur 52:47

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ عَذَابٗا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not.

At-Tur 52:48

وَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَاۖ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree, for surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest,

At-Tur 52:49

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡهُ وَإِدۡبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ

And in the night-time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars.
