| 52 ) Toor | |||
| 1 | By the Mount ( of Revelation ); | ||
| 2 | By a Decree Inscribed. | ||
| 3 | In a Scroll unfolded; | ||
| 4 | By the much-frequented Fane; | ||
| 5 | By the Canopy Raised High; | ||
| 6 | And by the Ocean filled with Swell | ||
| 7 | Verily the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass | ||
| 8 | There is none can avert it | ||
| 9 | On the day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion. | ||
| 10 | And the mountain will fly hither and thither. | ||
| 11 | Then woe that Day to those that treat ( truth ) as Falsehood | ||
| 12 | That play ( and paddle ) in shallow trifles. | ||
| 13 | That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell irresistibly. | ||
| 14 | " This " it will be said " is the Fire which ye were wont to deny! | ||
| 15 | " Is this then a fake or is it ye that do not see?. | ||
| 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. " | ||
| 17 | As to the Righteous they will be in Gardens and in Happiness. | ||
| 18 | Enjoying the ( Bliss ) which their Lord hath bestowed on them and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire. | ||
| 19 | ( To them will be said: ) " Eat and drink ye with profit and health because of your ( good ) deeds. " | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 22 | And We shall bestow on them of fruit and meat anything they shall desire. | ||
| 23 | They shall there exchange one with another a ( loving ) cup free of frivolity free of all taint of ill. | ||
| 24 | Round about them will serve ( devoted ) to them youths ( handsome ) as Pearls well-guarded. | ||
| 25 | They will advance to each other engaging in mutual enquiry. | ||
| 26 | They will say: " Aforetime We were not without fear for the sake of our people. | ||
| 27 | " But Allah has been good to us and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind. | ||
| 28 | " Truly we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He the Beneficent the Merciful ". | ||
| 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. | ||
| 30 | Or do they say " A Poet! we await for him some calamity ( hatched ) by Time! " | ||
| 31 | Say thou: " Await ye! I too will wait along with you! " | ||
| 32 | Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?. | ||
| 33 | Or do they say " He fabricated the ( Message ) "? Nay they have no faith! | ||
| 34 | Let them then produce a recital like unto it if ( it be ) they speak the Truth! | ||
| 35 | Were they created of nothing or were they themselves the creators?. | ||
| 36 | Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay they have no firm belief. | ||
| 37 | Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them or are they the managers ( of affairs )?. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 39 | Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?. | ||
| 40 | Or is it that thou dost ask for a reward so that they are burdened with a load of debt? | ||
| 41 | Or that the Unseen is in their hands and they write it down?. | ||
| 42 | Or do they intend a plot ( against thee )? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot! | ||
| 43 | Or have they a god other then Allah? exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him! | ||
| 44 | Were they to see a piece of the sky falling ( on them ) they would ( only ) say: " clouds gathered in heaps! " | ||
| 45 | So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall ( perforce ) swoon ( with terror ) | ||
| 46 | The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be Given them. | ||
| 47 | And verily for those who do wrong there is another punishment besides this: but most of them understand not. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 49 | And for part of the night also praise thou Him and at the retreat of the stars! | ||
