Surah 52 · Makki · 49 Ayahs
At-Tur
The Mount
الطورContinues the argument for the Hereafter through a series of oaths, affirming its certainty and describing the fate awaiting both those who deny it and those who accept it.
By the mount
And [by] a Book inscribed
In parchment spread open
And [by] the frequented House
And [by] the ceiling [i.e., heaven] raised high
And [by] the sea set on fire,
Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.
Of it there is no preventer.
On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion
And the mountains will pass on, departing -
Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,
Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.
The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say],
"This is the Fire which you used to deny.
Then is this magic, or do you not see?
[Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do."
Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,
Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.
[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."
They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.
And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.
And We will provide them with fruit and meat from whatever they desire.
They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin.
There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well-protected.
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
