By the mount Tur (where Moses was given the Torah),[1] and by the Book written[2] on a fine unfolded scroll,[3] and by the inhabited House,[4] and the elevated canopy (sky),[5] and the surging ocean,[6] the torment of your Lord will surely come to pass![7] There shall be none to avert it.[8] On that Day, heaven will shake violently[9] and the mountain will travel around.[10] On that Day, woe be to the deniers of truth,[11] who are engaged in their useless sports.[12] On that Day they shall be driven to the fire of hell with violence,[13] and it will be said to them: "This is the fire which you denied.[14] Is this a magic, or do you not see?[15] Now burn therein; it will be the same for you, whether you bear it patiently or do not bear it patiently. You are being rewarded according to your deeds."[16] As for the righteous, they will be in Gardens and bliss,[17] rejoicing in what their Lord has given them and their Lord shall shield them from the torment of hell.[18] It will be said to them: "Eat and drink to your hearts content, this is the reward for your good deeds."[19] They shall recline on couches arranged in rows; and We shall wed them with beautiful Huris (damsels).[20] We shall unite the true believers with those of their descendants who follow them in their faith, and shall not deny them the reward of their good deeds - everyone is responsible for his deeds[21] - and We shall provide them fruits, and such meats as they desire.[22] They will pass from hand to hand a cup of wine which shall cause no idle talk, nor sinful urge;[23] and there shall wait for them young boys, exclusively appointed for their service, who will be as handsome as treasured pearls.[24] They will converse with one another about their worldly life[25] and say: "When we were living among our kinfolk, we were troubled by many fears.[26] But Allah has been gracious to us; He has delivered us from the fiery scourge.[27] Indeed we used to pray only to Him. Surely He is the Beneficent, the Merciful."[28] Therefore, O Prophet, keep up your mission of admonition. By the grace of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman.[29] Do they say: "He is but a poet! We are waiting for some misfortune to befall him."[30] Tell them: "Wait if you will; I too shall wait with you."[31] Does their faculties of reasoning prompt them to say this? Or is it merely that they are wicked people?[32] Do they say: "This man has invented this Qur’an himself?" Nay! They do not want to believe.[33] Let them produce a scripture like this, if what they say is true![34] Were they created without a Creator? Or were they their own creators?[35] Did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! They will never be convinced.[36] Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or is it they who control them?[37] Do they have a stairway to heaven by means of which they overhear Him? If so, let any of them who overheard Him, bring clear proof.[38] Is He to have daughters and you sons?[39] Do you ask them payment for your services, that they should fear to be overburdened by a debt?[40] Do they have the knowledge of the unseen? Can they write it down?[41] Do they intend to devise a plot against you? If so, the disbelievers themselves will be trapped in their plot.[42] Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah, far above those deities they associate with Him.[43] They are such people that, even if they will see a part of heaven falling down, they would say: "It is but a mass of clouds."[44] So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon with terror.[45] The Day when their designs will avail them nothing and none will help them.[46] Surely for such wrongdoers, there is another punishment besides that, even though most of them do not realize that.[47] Therefore, wait for the Judgment of your Lord with patience, We are surely watching over you. Glorify your Lord with His praises when you wake up,[48] and glorify Him in a part of the night, and also as the stars fade away.[49]
