Surah At Tur

Quran Chapter 52

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1By the Mount.

2And a Scripture inscribed.

3In a published scroll.

4And the frequented House.

5And the elevated roof.

6And the surging sea.

7The punishment of your Lord will occur.

8No one can avert it.

9On the Day when the heavens sways in agitation.

10And the mountains are set in motion.

11Woe, on that Day, to the deniers.

12Those who are engrossed in vanity.

13On that Day, they will be pushed into the Fire of Hell.

14“This is the very Fire which you used to deny.

15Is this magic, or do you not see?

16Burn therein, it’s the same for you whether you bear it patiently, or not. You are only being recompensed for what you used to do.

17However, the righteous will be in gardens of pleasure.

18Delighted with what their Lord has given them, and their Lord has shielded them from the punishment of the Blaze.

19“Eat and drink cheerfully, as a reward for your endeavors.”

20Reclining on luxurious furnishings, We will pair them with splendid companions.

21Those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith, We will join with them, their offspring, and We won’t reduce anything from their deeds. Every person is held in pledge for what he earned.

22We will supply them with fruits and meats, as they desire.

23Circulated among them will be a cup, causing neither vain talk nor sinful behavior.

24They will be served by youthful attendants as hidden pearls.

25They will approach one another, inquiring.

26They will say, “Previously, we were anxious about our families.

27But God blessed us and protected us from the torment of the Scorching Winds.

28We used to pray to Him. He is the Benevolent, the Merciful.”

29So, remind them. You are not, by the grace of your Lord, a fortune teller or insane.

30Do they say, “A poet, we await his demise?”

31Say, “Wait; I am waiting with you.”

32Are their dreams prompting them to do this? Or are they rebellious people?

33Or do they say, “He made it up”? They can’t be sure.

34Then, let them produce a similar statement—if they are truthful.

35Or were they created from nonexistence? Or are they the creators?

36Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Certainly, they lack conviction.

37Or do they possess your Lord’s treasures? Or are they the ones in control?

38Or do they have a ladder by which they can listen in? Then, let their listener produce clear authority.

39Or does He have daughters while you have sons?

40Or is it that you ask them for a fee, so they are burdened by a debt?

41Or do they know the Unseen, so they write it down?

42Or are they plotting a scheme? But those who disbelieve are the ones trapped in their plot.

43Or do they have a god other than God? Exalted is God, far above what they associate with Him.

44Even if they were to see pieces of the sky falling, they would say, “Clouds, piled up.”

45So, leave them until they encounter their Day, when they will be thunderstruck.

46On that Day, their plotting won’t avail them, nor will they be helped.

47For those who perpetrate injustice, there is a punishment even more severe, yet most of them are unaware.

48Wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord; you are under Our vigilant observation. Praise your Lord when you arise.

49And glorify Him during the night, and as the stars retreat.
