52:2
And by the Book written
52:3
on open pages ˹for all to read˺!
52:4
And by the ˹Sacred˺ House frequently visited!
52:5
And by the canopy raised ˹high˺!
52:6
And by the seas set on fire!
52:7
Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will come to pass—
52:9
on the Day the heavens will be shaken violently,
52:10
and the mountains will be blown away entirely.
52:11
Then woe on that Day to the deniers—
52:12
those who amuse themselves with falsehood!
52:13
˹It is˺ the Day they will be fiercely shoved into the Fire of Hell.
52:14
˹They will be told,˺ “This is the Fire which you used to deny.
52:15
Is this magic, or do you not see?
52:16
Burn in it! It is the same whether you endure ˹it˺ patiently or not. You are only rewarded for what you used to do.”
52:17
Indeed, the righteous will be in Gardens and bliss,
52:18
enjoying whatever their Lord will have granted them. And their Lord will have protected them from the torment of the Hellfire.
52:19
˹They will be told,˺ “Eat and drink happily for what you used to do.”
52:20
They will be reclining on thrones, ˹neatly˺ lined up ˹facing each other˺. And We will pair them to maidens with gorgeous eyes.
52:21
As for those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith, We will elevate their descendants to their rank, never discounting anything ˹of the reward˺ of their deeds. Every person will reap only what they sowed.
52:22
And We will ˹continually˺ provide them with whatever fruit or meat they desire.
52:23
They will pass around to each other a drink ˹of pure wine,˺ which leads to no idle talk or sinfulness.
52:24
And they will be waited on by their youthful servants like spotless pearls.
52:25
They will turn to one another inquisitively.
52:26
They will say, “Before ˹this reward˺ we used to be in awe ˹of Allah˺ in the midst of our people.
52:27
So Allah has graced us and protected us from the torment of ˹Hell’s˺ scorching heat.
52:28
Indeed, we used to call upon Him ˹alone˺ before. He is truly the Most Kind, Most Merciful.”
52:29
So ˹continue to˺ remind ˹all, O Prophet˺. For you, by the grace of your Lord, are not a fortune-teller or a madman.
52:30
Or do they say, “˹He is˺ a poet, for whom we ˹eagerly˺ await an ill-fate!”?
52:31
Say, “Keep waiting! I too am waiting with you.”
52:32
Or do their ˹intelligent˺ minds prompt them to this ˹paradox˺? Or are they ˹just˺ a transgressing people?
52:33
Or do they say, “He made this ˹Quran˺ up!”? In fact, they have no faith.
52:34
Let them then produce something like it, if what they say is true!
52:35
Or were they created by nothing, or are they ˹their own˺ creators?
52:36
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they have no firm belief ˹in Allah˺.
52:37
Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control ˹of everything˺?
52:38
Or do they have a stairway, by which they eavesdrop ˹on the heavens˺? Then let those who do so bring a compelling proof.
52:39
Or does He have daughters ˹as you claim˺, while you ˹prefer to˺ have sons?
52:40
Or are you ˹O Prophet˺ asking them for a reward ˹for the message˺ so that they are overburdened by debt?
52:41
Or do they have access to ˹the Record in˺ the unseen, so they copy it ˹for all to see˺?
52:42
Or do they intend to scheme ˹against the Prophet˺? Then it is the disbelievers who will fall victim to ˹their˺ schemes.
52:43
Or do they have a god other than Allah? Glorified is Allah far above what they associate ˹with Him˺!
52:44
If they were to see a ˹deadly˺ piece of the sky fall down ˹upon them˺, still they would say, “˹This is just˺ a pile of clouds.”
52:45
So leave them until they face their Day in which they will be struck dead—
52:46
the Day their scheming will be of no benefit to them whatsoever, nor will they be helped.
52:47
Also, the wrongdoers will certainly have another torment before that ˹Day˺, but most of them do not know.
52:48
So be patient with your Lord’s decree, for you are truly under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes. And glorify the praises of your Lord when you rise.
52:49
And glorify Him during part of the night and at the fading of the stars.
