52:1 By the Mount

52:2 And a Scripture inscribe

52:3 On fine parchment unrolled

52:4 And the House frequented

52:5 And the roof exalted

52:6 And the sea kept filled

52:7 Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass

52:8 There is none that can ward it off

52:9 On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving

52:10 And the mountains move away with (awful) movement

52:11 Then woe that day unto the denier

52:12 Who play in talk of grave matters

52:13 The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hel

52:14 (And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny

52:15 Is this magic, or do ye not see

52:16 Endure the heat thereof, and whether ye are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do

52:17 Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight

52:18 Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire

52:19 (And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do

52:20 Reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes

52:21 And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nought of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned

52:22 And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire

52:23 There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin

52:24 And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls

52:25 And some of them draw near unto others, questioning

52:26 Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious

52:27 But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire

52:28 Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful

52:29 Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman

52:30 Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time

52:31 Say (unto them): Except (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant

52:32 Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk

52:33 Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but they will not believe

52:34 Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful

52:35 Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators

52:36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing

52:37 Or do they own the treasures of thy Lord? Or have they been given charge (thereof)

52:38 Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest

52:39 Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons

52:40 Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt

52:41 Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down

52:42 Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger)? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared

52:43 Or have they any god beside Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)

52:44 And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds

52:45 Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their day, in which they will be thunder-stricken

52:46 A day in which their guile will naught avail them, nor will they be helped

52:47 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not

52:48 So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree, for surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest

52:49 And in the night-time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars
