1. |
By the Mount (of Revelation);
|
|
2. |
By a Book Inscribed
|
|
3. |
In a Parchment unfolded;
|
|
4. |
By the much-frequented House;
|
|
5. |
By the Canopy Raised High;
|
|
6. |
And by the Ocean filled with Swell;-
|
|
7. |
Verily, the Chastisement 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 move.
|
|
11. |
Then woe that Day to the rejecters (of truth);-
|
|
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 magic, 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 Chastisement 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) upon couches arranged in ranks; and We shall wed them to Maidens, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
|
|
21. |
And those who believe and whose seeds 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 cup free of frivolity, free of sin,
|
|
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 inquiry.
|
|
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 Chastisement of the Scorching Wind.
|
|
28. |
"Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"
|
|
29. |
Therefore remind: for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no soothsayer, nor 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 intellects urges 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 saying 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 have they control over them?
|
|
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 disbelieve are themselves ensnared 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 be thunderstruck,-
|
|
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 know 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 setting of the stars!
