52 · At-tur سورة الطور

وَالطُّورِ ۝١

By the Mount (of Revelation);

وَكِتَابٍ مَسْطُورٍ ۝٢

By a Decree inscribed

فِي رَقٍّ مَنْشُورٍ ۝٣

In a Scroll unfolded;

وَالْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ ۝٤

By the much-frequented Fane;

وَالسَّقْفِ الْمَرْفُوعِ ۝٥

By the Canopy Raised High;

وَالْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ ۝٦

And by the Ocean filled with Swell;-

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَاقِعٌ ۝٧

Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass;-

مَا لَهُ مِنْ دَافِعٍ ۝٨

There is none can avert it;-

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاءُ مَوْرًا ۝٩

On the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.

وَتَسِيرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا ۝١٠

And the mountains will fly hither and thither.

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١١

Then woe that Day to those that treat (Truth) as Falsehood;-

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ ۝١٢

That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles.

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا ۝١٣

That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.

هَٰذِهِ النَّارُ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝١٤

"This:, it will be said, "Is the Fire,- which ye were wont to deny!

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَا أَمْ أَنْتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٥

"Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see?

اصْلَوْهَا فَاصْبِرُوا أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٦

"Burn ye therein: the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not: Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds."

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ ۝١٧

As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness,-

فَاكِهِينَ بِمَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ ۝١٨

Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire.

كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٩

(To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds."

مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَصْفُوفَةٍ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَاهُمْ بِحُورٍ عِينٍ ۝٢٠

They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.

وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ بِإِيمَانٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَا أَلَتْنَاهُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۚ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ ۝٢١

And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith,- to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds.

وَأَمْدَدْنَاهُمْ بِفَاكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ۝٢٢

And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire.

يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ ۝٢٣

They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.

وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَكْنُونٌ ۝٢٤

Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ۝٢٥

They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.

قَالُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِي أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ ۝٢٦

They will say: "Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people.

فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا عَذَابَ السَّمُومِ ۝٢٧

"But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْبَرُّ الرَّحِيمُ ۝٢٨

"Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَا أَنْتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ ۝٢٩

Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ ۝٣٠

Or do they say:- "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا فَإِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ۝٣١

Say thou: "Await ye!- I too will wait along with you!"

أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَامُهُمْ بِهَٰذَا ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ ۝٣٢

Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُ ۚ بَلْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٣٣

Or do they say, "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay, they have no faith!

فَلْيَأْتُوا بِحَدِيثٍ مِثْلِهِ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ ۝٣٤

Let them then produce a recital like unto it,- If (it be) they speak the truth!

أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ ۝٣٥

Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
