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