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, young male servants (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!
