| | Syed Vickar Ahamed rendition of Surah The Mount, The Mountain(at-Tur)
--- |
|---|
| 52:1 | | By (the Mountain of) Thr |
| 52:2 | | And by the Book inscribed (and is carved out) |
| 52:3 | | In a scroll (that is left open) unfolded |
| 52:4 | | And by the frequently visited Place of Worship (the mosque for angels above Ka’bah) |
| 52:5 | | And by the sky raised high |
| 52:6 | | And by the ocean that fills with waves&mdash |
| 52:7 | | Surely, the (severe) penalty from your Lord will really come true&mdash |
| 52:8 | | There is no one who can change it&mdash |
| 52:9 | | On the Day when the sky will swing in terrible fear |
| 52:10 | | And the mountains will fly here and there |
| 52:11 | | Then woe (fear and misery), that Day to those (people) who treat (Truth) as falsehood |
| 52:12 | | Those (people) who play (and indulge) in small and silly talk |
| 52:13 | | That Day when they shall be pushed down to the Fire of Hell, without any questions (being asked) |
| 52:14 | | "This," (it will be said:) "Is the Fire— Which you habitually deny |
| 52:15 | | "Is this a fake, or is it you who do not see |
| 52:16 | | "So you burn in there, it is the same to you whether you can bear it with patience, or not: You only receive the penalty for your (own) deeds." |
| 52:17 | | Verily, as to the righteous (people), they will be in the Gardens, and in happiness |
| 52:18 | | Enjoying the (true joy) which their Lord has given to them, and their Lord shall save them from the penalty of Fire |
| 52:19 | | (It will be said to them:) "You eat and drink, with blessings and health, because of your (good) deeds." |
| 52:20 | | They will rest (in comfort) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; And We shall join them to companions, with beautiful, wide and lovely eyes |
| 52:21 | | And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith— To them We shall join their families: And We shall not take away from them (the reward) of their works: (Still) each person is accountable for his deeds |
| 52:22 | | And We shall provide them fruit and meat, anything that they want (to have) |
| 52:23 | | There they shall exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup, free of pettiness, free of all signs of impurity |
| 52:24 | | And there will go around (devoted) to them, youths (handsome) as pearls, well-guarded |
| 52:25 | | They will approach one another, engaging in mutual inquiry and questioning |
| 52:26 | | They will say: "Before now we were not without fear for the sake of our people |
| 52:27 | | "So Allah has been gracious to us, and has delivered us from the penalty of the Burning Wind |
| 52:28 | | "Truly, we did pray to Him from of old; Truly, it is He, the Beneficent (Al-Barr), the Most Merciful (Ar-Raheem)!" |
| 52:29 | | Therefore remind (mankind to celebrate the Praise of Allah). By the Grace of your Lord, you are not (any) petty-talker, and you are not a madman (nor one possessed) |
| 52:30 | | Or do they say:— "A Poet! We will wait for him that some misfortune (will come) in time!" |
| 52:31 | | You say (to them): "You wait! I will also wait among those who wait!" |
| 52:32 | | Or do they in their capacity to understand take themselves to this (way of lying), or are they only people exceeding beyond (their) bounds |
| 52:33 | | Or do they say: "He made up (the Message);" No, they have no faith |
| 52:34 | | (If they can,) let them produce words (of the Message) like it, if they are telling the truth |
| 52:35 | | Or were they created out of nothing? Or were they themselves the creators |
| 52:36 | | Or did they create the heavens and the earth? No! They have no firm belief |
| 52:37 | | Or are the treasures of your Lord with them? Or are they the tyrants to do anything they wish |
| 52:38 | | Or do they have a ladder, by which they can (climb up to the heaven and) listen (to the secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs come up with a clear proof |
| 52:39 | | Or has He only daughters and you have sons |
| 52:40 | | Or is it that you ask for a reward, so that they will be burdened with a load of debt |
| 52:41 | | Or that the Unseen is in their hands, and they write it (the Suras) down |
| 52:42 | | Or do they intend a plot (against you)? But those who act in disbelief (in Allah) are themselves involved in a (sinful) plot |
| 52:43 | | Or have they a god other than Allah? Glorified is Allah, far above the things they associate with Him |
| 52:44 | | And if they were 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 face their Day (of Judgment), when they shall be taken over (with fear)&mdash |
| 52:46 | | The Day when their plotting will become useless for them and no help shall be given to them |
| 52:47 | | And surely, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment (in the life) before this (Day), but most of them do not understand |
| 52:48 | | Now wait for the Decision of your Lord, with patience for surely, you are in Our eyes: And celebrate the Praises of your Lord the while you stand forth |
| 52:49 | | And also for part of the night you praise Him— And at the setting of the stars (during the dawn) |
