Translation By Abdullah Yusuf Ali
d Sura
# 52 e
|
At-Tur /
The Mountain |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
By the Mount (of Revelation); |
2 |
By a Decree Inscribed |
3 |
In a Scroll unfolded; |
4 |
By the much-frequented Fane; |
5 |
By the Canopy Raised High; |
6 |
And by the Ocean filled with Swell |
7 |
Verily the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass |
8 |
There is none can avert it |
9 |
On the day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion. |
10 |
And the mountain will fly hither and thither. |
11 |
Then woe that Day to those that treat (truth) as Falsehood |
12 |
That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles. |
13 |
That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell irresistibly. |
14 |
"This" it will be said "is the Fire which ye were wont to deny! |
15 |
"Is this then a fake or is it ye that do not see? |
16 |
"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." |
17 |
As to the Righteous they will be in Gardens and in Happiness |
18 |
Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire. |
19 |
(To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye with profit and health because of your (good) deeds." |
20 |
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. |
21 |
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. |
22 |
And We shall bestow on them of fruit and meat anything they shall desire. |
23 |
They shall there exchange one with another a (loving) cup free of frivolity free of all taint of ill. |
24 |
Round about them will serve (devoted) to them youths (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded. |
25 |
They will advance to each other engaging in mutual enquiry. |
26 |
They will say: "Aforetime We were not without fear for the sake of our people. |
27 |
"But Allah has been good to us and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind. |
28 |
"Truly we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He the Beneficent the Merciful" |
29 |
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. |
30 |
Or do they say "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!" |
31 |
Say thou: "Await ye! I too will wait along with you!" |
32 |
Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds? |
33 |
Or do they say "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay they have no faith! |
34 |
Let them then produce a recital like unto it if (it be) they speak the Truth! |
35 |
Were they created of nothing or were they themselves the creators? |
36 |
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay they have no firm belief. |
37 |
Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them or are they the managers (of affairs)? |
38 |
Or have they a ladder by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a manifest proof. |
39 |
Or has He only daughters and ye have sons? |
40 |
Or is it that thou dost ask for a reward so that they are burdened with a load of debt? |
41 |
Or that the Unseen is in their hands and they write it down? |
42 |
Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot! |
43 |
Or have they a god other then Allah? exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him! |
44 |
Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them) they would (only) say: "clouds gathered in heaps!" |
45 |
So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror) |
46 |
The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be Given them. |
47 |
And verily for those who do wrong there is another punishment besides this: but most of them understand not. |
48 |
Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth. |
49 |
And for part of the night also praise thou Him and at the retreat of the stars! |
