Surah 52

By the Tûr (Mount)

And by a Book Inscribed

In parchment unrolled.

And by Al-Bait-ul-Ma‘mûr[1] (the house over the heavens parallel to the Ka‘bah at Makkah, continuously visited by the angels).

And by the roof raised high (i.e. the heaven).

And by the sea kept filled (or it will be fire kindled on the Day of Resurrection).

Verily, the Torment of your Lord will surely come to pass.

There is none that can avert it.

On the Day when the heaven will shake with a dreadful shaking,

And the mountains will move away with a (horrible) movement.

Then woe that Day to the beliers.[2]

Who are playing in falsehood[3].

The Day when they will be pushed down by force to the Fire of Hell, with a horrible, forceful pushing.

This is the Fire which you used to belie.

Is this magic, or do you not see?

Taste you therein its heat and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all the same. You are only being requited for what you used to do.

Verily, the Muttaqûn (the pious. See V.2:2) will be in Gardens (Paradise), and Delight.

Enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them, and (the fact that) their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire.

"Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do."

They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to Hûr: (female, fair ones) with wide lovely eyes.[4]
