52:1 By the Mount [Sinai

52:2 And by Record inscribe

52:3 On a writing material widely published.h

52:4 And by the long-standing, frequently visited house [Kaabah

52:5 And by the roof elevated high [of heaven]

52:6 And by the sea in high tid

52:7 Punishment by your Lord is indeed inevitable

52:8 None can ward it off

52:9 When the sky [Universe] tremble

52:10 And the mountains mov

52:11 Woe, then, to all those who had rejected the Truth

52:12 Those who had wasted their time on vanities

52:13 When they are pushed into Hell fir

52:14 "This is the Fire you had denied!"

52:15 "Is this, then, a delusion or are you blind to it?"

52:16 "Suffer it! Whether you bear it with patience or not, it will be all the same for you: you are but being paid back for what you were doing!"

52:17 The pious are in gardens among bountie

52:18 They rejoice in all that their Lord has granted them. And their Lord has warded off punishment through the blazing Fire from them

52:19 "Eat and drink to your satisfaction as a reward for your [good] deeds."

52:20 "Reclining on couches ranged in rows!" And We shall give them Houris with lovely eyes as companions

52:21 And those that believed and their offspring that followed them in belief, We unite them with their offspring. And We deprive them not of any of their deeds. Every human being is held in pledge for whatever he earns

52:22 And We help them with fruit and meat — whatever they desire

52:23 They have rounds of drinks which give rise to no nonsense, nor sin

52:24 And waiting upon them will be boys — like pearls hidden in their shells — assigned to them

52:25 And they turn to one another, enquiringly

52:26 They say, "We were living with our families in fear, before!"

52:27 "So Allah has been good to us, and has warded off from us punishment of intense heat."

52:28 "We did indeed invoke Him before. He is indeed the One Ultimate in goodness, the Merciful!"

52:29 Proclaim the praises of your Lord, then! You [Muhammad] are, by His grace, neither a fortune-teller nor a madman

52:30 Or do they say, "A poet! We await a change of fortune for him"

52:31 Say, "Wait! I, too, am one of those who wait with you."

52:32 Do their visions dictate this to them — or are they people committing transgression

52:33 Or do they say, "He himself has authored it"? Nay, they believe not

52:34 Let them produce another discourse like it, if what they say be true

52:35 Are they created out of nothing? Or, are they themselves the creators

52:36 Or, have they created the heavens and the earth? And yet they are not certain of a Creator creating them!h

52:37 Or, have they your Lord's treasures with them? Or are they in control

52:38 Or, have they a link through which they could listen? Let him who has listened to them then come up with manifest proof

52:39 Or, are there daughters for Him, and, for you, sons

52:40 Or, do you [Prophet Muhammad] ask of them a reward, and so do they get burdened with debt

52:41 Or, have they the knowledge of the Unseen, which they have written down?

52:42 Or, do they want to hatch a plot? But then those who suppress the truth — they themselves are the victims of a plot

52:43 Or, have they a deity other than Allah? Allah is too high in glory, above what they worship besides Him

52:44 And if they were to see meteorites from the sky falling down, they would say, "Gathering clouds!"

52:45 Leave them alone then until they meet their Day in which they will be stunned

52:46 The Day their scheming and plotting will be of no avail to them, and they will receive no help

52:47 And, indeed, for those who do wrong, a punishment closer than that [in this world itself]! But most of them are not aware

52:48 And await in patience for your Lord's Decree! We have indeed of course kept you within Our sight. And glorify your Lord with His praise when you are up on your feet

52:49 And glorify Him at night, and when the stars retreat [at dawn]
