| 52:1 | | By the Mount |
| 52:2 | | and by a Book inscribe |
| 52:3 | | on parchment outspread |
| 52:4 | | by the house inhabited |
| 52:5 | | by the canopy raised |
| 52:6 | | and by the sea swelling over |
| 52:7 | | truly thy Lord’s Punishment shall come to pass |
| 52:8 | | None can avert it |
| 52:9 | | On a day when the sky churns with [great] churning |
| 52:10 | | and the mountains move with [great] motion |
| 52:11 | | woe that Day to the denier |
| 52:12 | | who play in idle talk |
| 52:13 | | a day when they are thrust violently into the Fire of Hell |
| 52:14 | | “This is the Fire that you used to deny |
| 52:15 | | Is this sorcery, or do you not see |
| 52:16 | | Burn therein! Be patient, or be not patient; it will be the same for you. You are only requited for that which you used to do. |
| 52:17 | | Truly the reverent shall be in Gardens and bliss |
| 52:18 | | rejoicing in what their Lord has given them. And their Lord has shielded them from the punishment of Hellfire |
| 52:19 | | “Eat and drink in enjoyment for that which you used to do, |
| 52:20 | | reclining upon couches arrayed, and We shall wed them to wide-eyed maidens |
| 52:21 | | And those who believe and whose progeny followed them in faith, We shall cause their progeny to join them and will not stint aught of their deeds. Each man shall be held in pledge for that which he has earned |
| 52:22 | | And We shall bestow upon them fruits and meat as they desire |
| 52:23 | | Therein they shall pass to one another a cup wherein is no idle talk, nor incitement to sin |
| 52:24 | | and there wait upon them youths, for them, as if they were hidden pearls |
| 52:25 | | And they will turn to one another, questioning each other |
| 52:26 | | saying, “Truly aforetime, when among our families, we were anxious |
| 52:27 | | but God was gracious unto us and shielded us from the punishment of the scorching wind |
| 52:28 | | Truly we did call upon Him aforetime. Truly He is the Righteous, the Merciful. |
| 52:29 | | So remind, for thou art not, by the Blessing of thy Lord, a soothsayer or one possessed |
| 52:30 | | Or do they say, “A poet—let us await the vagaries of fate for him. |
| 52:31 | | Say, “Wait! For truly I am waiting along with you. |
| 52:32 | | Do their minds command them to this, or are they a rebellious people |
| 52:33 | | Or do they say, “He has invented it”? Nay, but they believe not |
| 52:34 | | Then let them bring an account like unto it, if they are truthful |
| 52:35 | | Were they created from naught? Or are they the creators |
| 52:36 | | Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no certainty |
| 52:37 | | Do they possess the treasuries of your Lord? Or are they in control |
| 52:38 | | Or do they have a ladder whereby they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear warrant |
| 52:39 | | Does He have daughters while you have sons |
| 52:40 | | Or dost thou ask a reward of them, such that they are burdened with debt |
| 52:41 | | Or do they possess the Unseen, such that they write it down |
| 52:42 | | Or do they desire to devise [a scheme]? Then those who disbelieve shall be the ones against whom a scheme is devised |
| 52:43 | | Or do they have a god other than God? Glory be to God above the partners they ascribe |
| 52:44 | | Were they to see a fragment falling from the sky, they would say, “A heap of clouds. |
| 52:45 | | So leave them until they meet the Day when they will be thunderstruck |
| 52:46 | | a day when their scheming will avail them naught and they will not be helped |
| 52:47 | | And truly for those who do wrong there is punishment besides that. But most of them know not |
| 52:48 | | Be patient with the judgment of thy Lord, for thou art before Our eyes; hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou dost rise |
| 52:49 | | and at night glorify Him, and at the receding of the stars |
