Surah 52. At-Tur

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1. By the Mount,
2. And a Scripture inscribed
3. On fine parchment unrolled,
4. And the House frequented,
5. And the roof exalted,
6. And the sea kept filled,
7. Lo! the doom of your Lord will surely come to pass;
8. There is none that can ward it off.
9. On the day when the heaven will heave with heaving,
10. And the mountains move away with movement,
11. Then woe that day to the deniers
12. Who play in talk of grave matters;
13. The day when they are thrust with a thrust, into the fire of hell.
14. This is the Fire which you were wont to deny.
15. Is this magic, or do you not see?
16. Endure the heat thereof, and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. You are only being paid for what you used to do.
17. Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,
18. Happy because of what your Lord has given them, and their Lord has warded off from them the torment of hell fire.
19. Eat and drink in health for what you used to do,
20. Reclining on ranged couches. And We wed them to fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.
21. And they who keep faith and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them, and We deprive them of nothing of their work. Every man is a pledge for that which he has earned.
22. And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
23. There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.
24. And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.
25. And some of them draw near to others, questioning,
26. Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;
27. But ALLAH has been gracious to us and has preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.
28. Lo! we used to pray to Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.
