> Surah 52
> 
> Al Tur (The Mount)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 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!
