Surah 52

And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith: to them shall We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything. Every person is a pledge for that which he has earned.

And We shall provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.

There they shall pass from hand to hand a (wine) cup, free from any Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk between them), and free from sin[5] (because it will be lawful for them to drink).

And there will go round boy-servants of theirs, to serve them as if they were preserved pearls.

And some of them draw near to others, questioning.

Saying: "Aforetime, we were afraid (of the punishment of Allâh) in the midst of our families.

"So Allâh has been gracious to us, and has saved us from the torment of the Fire.

"Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is Al-Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful."[6]

Therefore, remind (mankind of Islâmic Monotheism, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). By the Grace of Allâh, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a madman.

Or do they say: "(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is a poet! We await for him some calamity by time!"

Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them): "Wait! I am with you among the waiters!"

Do their minds command them this [i.e. to tell a lie against you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)] or are they people transgressing all bounds?

Or do they say: "He (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has forged it (this Qur’ân)?" Nay! They believe not!

Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur’ân) if they are truthful.

Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.

Or are with them the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the tyrants with the authority to do as they like?

Or have they a stairway (to heaven), by means of which they listen (to the talks of the angels)? Then let their listener produce some manifest proof.

Or has He (Allâh) only daughters and you have sons?

Or is it that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask a wage from them (for your preaching of Islâmic Monotheism) so that they are burdened with a load of debt?
