By the mount!
By a decree inscribed
On parchment unrolled!
By the house frequented!
By the roof raised!
By the sea filled!
The punishment of thy lord will befall.
None can avert it.
The day the sky will be utterly shaken
And the mountains utterly moved:
Woe that day to the repudiators
Those who in jest are playing
The day they are thrown into the fire of Hell!
This is the fire which you repudiated:
(Is this sorcery?
Or do you not see?)
Burn therein:
Be you patient or be you not patient
It is the same for you
You are but being rewarded for what you did.
Those of prudent fear are in gardens and bliss
Glad at what their lord has given them:
(And their lord protected them from the punishment of Hell)
Eat and drink with ease for what you did
Reclining upon couches arranged!
And we match them with pure, lustrous-eyed maidens.
(And those who heed warning and whose progeny follow them in faith, we cause their progeny to join them.
And we diminish not anything of their deeds.
Every man is responsible for what he earns.)
And we provide them with such fruit and meat as they desire.
They contend with one another therein for a cup wherein is neither vain speech nor falsity.
And there move about among them youths of their own
As it were pearls closely guarded.
And some of them will draw near to others asking one another
Saying: We were before concerning our families apprehensive
But God has been gracious to us and has preserved us from the punishment of scorching heat.
We did call to him before.
He is the Virtuous, the Merciful.
So remind thou!
And by the grace of thy lord thou art neither a soothsayer nor possessed.
If they say: A poet – we will wait for him for a time:
Say thou: So wait:
I am with you among those waiting.
If their reason commands them this:
Or if they are a people transgressing all bounds:
Or if they say: He has invented it:
The truth is: they do not believe
And let them produce a narrative the like thereof if they be truthful.
If they were created of nothing:
Or if they were the creators:
Or if they created the heavens and the earth:
The truth is: they are not certain.
If the treasuries of thy lord are with them:
Or if they are the overseers:
Or if they have a stairway on which they can listen in:
Then let their listener come with a clear warrant.
If he has daughters when you have sons:
Or if thou ask of them reward:
Then are they encumbered by liability.
If they have the unseen:
Then are they writing:
Or if they intend a plan:
Then are those who are indifferent to warning those caught in a plan.
If they have a god other than God:
(Glory be unto God above that to which they ascribe a partnership!
And if they were to see pieces of the sky falling they would say: Clouds heaped up.)
Then leave thou them until they meet their day in which they will be thunderstruck
A day in which their planning will avail them nothing and they will not be helped.
And for those who do wrong is a punishment besides that.
But most of them know not.
And be thou patient for the judgment of thy lord
For thou art before our eyes
And give thou glory with the praise of thy lord when thou risest
And some of the night glorify thou him
And at the retreat of the stars. (52:1-49)
