| | Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) rendition of Surah The Mount, The Mountain(at-Tur)
--- |
|---|
| 52:1 | | By the Mount (of Revelation) |
| 52:2 | | By a Decree inscribe |
| 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, young male servants (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 |
