52 - Surah At-Tur الطور

By the mount

wal-ṭūri

And [by] a Book inscribed

wakitābin masṭūrin

In parchment spread open

fī raqqin manshūrin

And [by] the frequented House

wal-bayti l-maʿmūri

And [by] the heaven raised high

wal-saqfi l-marfūʿi

And [by] the sea filled [with fire],

wal-baḥri l-masjūri

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

inna ʿadhāba rabbika lawāqiʿun

Of it there is no preventer.

mā lahu min dāfiʿin

On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

yawma tamūru l-samāu mawran

And the mountains will pass on, departing -

watasīru l-jibālu sayran

Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,

fawaylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna

Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.

alladhīna hum fī khawḍin yalʿabūna

The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say],

yawma yudaʿʿūna ilā nāri jahannama daʿʿan

"This is the Fire which you used to deny.

hādhihi l-nāru allatī kuntum bihā tukadhibūna

Then is this magic, or do you not see?

afasiḥ'run hādhā am antum lā tub'ṣirūna

[Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do."

iṣ'lawhā fa-iṣ'birū aw lā taṣbirū sawāon ʿalaykum innamā tuj'zawna mā kuntum taʿmalūna

Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,

inna l-mutaqīna fī jannātin wanaʿīmin

Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.

fākihīna bimā ātāhum rabbuhum wawaqāhum rabbuhum ʿadhāba l-jaḥīmi

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

kulū wa-ish'rabū hanīan bimā kuntum taʿmalūna

They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

muttakiīna ʿalā sururin maṣfūfatin wazawwajnāhum biḥūrin ʿīnin

And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.

wa-alladhīna āmanū wa-ittabaʿathum dhurriyyatuhum biīmānin alḥaqnā bihim dhurriyyatahum wamā alatnāhum min ʿamalihim min shayin kullu im'ri-in bimā kasaba rahīnun

And We will provide them with fruit and meat from whatever they desire.

wa-amdadnāhum bifākihatin walaḥmin mimmā yashtahūna

They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.

yatanāzaʿūna fīhā kasan lā laghwun fīhā walā tathīmun

There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well-protected.

wayaṭūfu ʿalayhim ghil'mānun lahum ka-annahum lu'lu-on maknūnun

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

wa-aqbala baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin yatasāalūna

They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allah].

qālū innā kunnā qablu fī ahlinā mush'fiqīna

So Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

famanna l-lahu ʿalaynā wawaqānā ʿadhāba l-samūmi

Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

innā kunnā min qablu nadʿūhu innahu huwa l-baru l-raḥīmu

So remind [O Muhammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

fadhakkir famā anta biniʿ'mati rabbika bikāhinin walā majnūnin

Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?"

am yaqūlūna shāʿirun natarabbaṣu bihi rayba l-manūni

Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."

qul tarabbaṣū fa-innī maʿakum mina l-mutarabiṣīna

Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?

am tamuruhum aḥlāmuhum bihādhā am hum qawmun ṭāghūna

Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe.

am yaqūlūna taqawwalahu bal lā yu'minūna

Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

falyatū biḥadīthin mith'lihi in kānū ṣādiqīna

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

am khuliqū min ghayri shayin am humu l-khāliqūna

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

am khalaqū l-samāwāti wal-arḍa bal lā yūqinūna

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

am ʿindahum khazāinu rabbika am humu l-muṣayṭirūna

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority.

am lahum sullamun yastamiʿūna fīhi falyati mus'tamiʿuhum bisul'ṭānin mubīnin

Or has He daughters while you have sons?

am lahu l-banātu walakumu l-banūna

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muth'qalūna

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

am ʿindahumu l-ghaybu fahum yaktubūna

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

am yurīdūna kaydan fa-alladhīna kafarū humu l-makīdūna

Or have they a deity other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.

am lahum ilāhun ghayru l-lahi sub'ḥāna l-lahi ʿammā yush'rikūna

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

wa-in yaraw kis'fan mina l-samāi sāqiṭan yaqūlū saḥābun markūmun

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

fadharhum ḥattā yulāqū yawmahumu alladhī fīhi yuṣ'ʿaqūna

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

yawma lā yugh'nī ʿanhum kayduhum shayan walā hum yunṣarūna

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

wa-inna lilladhīna ẓalamū ʿadhāban dūna dhālika walākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūna

And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise.

wa-iṣ'bir liḥuk'mi rabbika fa-innaka bi-aʿyuninā wasabbiḥ biḥamdi rabbika ḥīna taqūmu

And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.

wamina al-layli fasabbiḥ'hu wa-id'bāra l-nujūmi
