52. At-Tur سُورَةُ الطُّورِ

Yusuf AliBy the Mount (of Revelation)

Yusuf AliBy a Decree inscribed

Yusuf AliIn a Scroll unfolded

Yusuf AliBy the much-frequented Fane

Yusuf AliBy the Canopy Raised High

Yusuf AliAnd by the Ocean filled with Swell

Yusuf AliVerily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass

Yusuf AliThere is none can avert it

Yusuf AliOn the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion

Yusuf AliAnd the mountains will fly hither and thither

Yusuf AliThen woe that Day to those that treat (Truth) as Falsehood

Yusuf AliThat play (and paddle) in shallow trifles

Yusuf AliThat Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly

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

Yusuf AliIs this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see

Yusuf AliBurn 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

Yusuf AliAs to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness

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

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

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

Yusuf AliAnd 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

Yusuf AliAnd We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire

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

Yusuf AliRound about them will serve, (devoted) to them. Youths (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded

Yusuf AliThey will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry

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

Yusuf AliBut God has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind

Yusuf AliTruly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yusuf AliWere they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators

Yusuf AliOr did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief

Yusuf AliOr are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)

Yusuf AliOr 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

Yusuf AliOr has He only daughters and ye have sons

Yusuf AliOr is it that thou dost ask for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt

Yusuf AliOr that the Unseen in it their hands, and they write it down

Yusuf AliOr do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy God are themselves involved in a Plot

Yusuf AliOr have they a god other than God? Exalted is God far above the things they associate with Him

Yusuf AliWere they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps

Yusuf AliSo leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror)

Yusuf AliThe Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them

Yusuf AliAnd verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this: But most of them understand not

Yusuf AliNow 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

Yusuf AliAnd for part of the night also praise thou Him,- and at the retreat of the stars
