52:1  By the Mount (Sinai),

52:2  By the Book inscribed

52:3  In an outstretched vellum,

52:4  By the established House (‘Mecca’),

52:5  By the elevated roof (the sky),

52:6  And by the swollen sea,

52:7  Indeed, the retribution of your Lord will come to pass.

52:8  There shall be no one to preclude it.

52:9  The day will come when the heavens fluctuates with a dreadful fluctuation

52:10  And the mountains move away with rapid movement.

52:11  Woe on that day unto those who fall in disbelief,

52:12  Who excessively indulge in vain talks.

52:13  The day will come when they are driven to the Fire of Hell with violence.

52:14  (It will be said unto them): “This is the Fire in which you refused to admit the truth of its existence.

52:15  Is this magic: ? Or do you not see?

52:16  (It will be said unto them): “Burn in it! Whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it will be the same for you. You are chastised only for what you used to do.”

52:17  Indeed, the ‘Pious’ will dwell in (Great) Gardens and Bliss,

52:18  Rejoicing in what their Lord will bestow upon them. And their Lord will save them from the punishment of the blazing Fire.

52:19  (It will be said unto them): “Eat and drink with pleasure for what you used to do.”

52:20  They will recline on couches set in lines, and We will wed them to maidens with wide, lovely eyes.

52:21  Those who adhere firmly to Islamic monotheism and whose offspring follow them in faith; We shall join their offspring with them. We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything. Every man is pledged for what he gains.

52:22  We shall supply them with fruits and meat that they desire.

52:23  They will pass therein from one to another a cup, wherein is neither vanity nor sin.

52:24  They will be served by youths of their own as if they were hidden pearls.

52:25  Some of them will approach the other, questioning,

52:26  Saying: “Indeed, before this, we used to be frightened on account of our families.

52:27  Allâh has conferred favor upon us and saved us from the agony of scorching Fire.

52:28  We used to implore and pray to Him. Indeed, He is the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.”

52:29  Therefore, keep on reminding! By the Grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a lunatic.

52:30  Or do they say: “He is a poet for whom we await the evil events of time?”

52:31  Say: “Keep on waiting! I am waiting along with you.”

52:32  Do their minds command them to do this? Or are they cruel and oppressive people?

52:33  Or do they say, "He has mythologized it (this ‘Qur’ān’)?" Nay, they believe not!

52:34  Let them produce just one discourse like it if they are truthful.

52:35  Or were they created from nothing? Or are they the creators?

52:36  Or did they create the heavens and earth? Nay, but they have no definite faith.

52:37  Or do they have the treasures of the Lord with them? Or are they the ones who hold the absolute power?

52:38  Or do they have a stairway (to the heavens) by means of which they listen (to the angels)? Then let their listener bring an evident proof.

52:39  Or Has He only daughters and you have the sons?

52:40  Or do you ask them a reward for (your efforts to guide them), while they are heavily burdened with debt?

52:41  Or do they have (the knowledge of) the unseen and so they write it down?

52:42  Or do they intend to plot evil plans against you (O’ ‘Muhammad’)? But those who excessively indulge in disbelief (in Allâh) will be the victims of their own evil conspiracy.

52:43  Or do they have another god besides Allâh? Glory be to Allâh from all that which they ascribe as partner to Him!

52:44  If they were to see a fragment of the heavens falling down, they would say: “Heaped-up clouds"

52:45  Thus, leave them alone till they meet that day of theirs, wherein they will be plunged into profound horror and shock.

52:46  On that day, their evil plans will not avail them at all, nor will they receive any aid.

52:47  Indeed, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this. But most of them do not posses enough knowledge.

52:48  Wait patiently for the verdict of your Lord. Indeed, you are before Our Eyes. Celebrate the praises of your Lord and declare His divine glory when you rise up for prayer.

52:49  In the night-time, celebrate His infinite glory, and at the setting of the stars.
