| 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 mountains 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 in it 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 than 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! |
