Surah “The Mount, The Mountain”

as rendered by Hasan Al-Fatih Qaribullah — 49 verses

By the Moun
and by the Book in line
in an exposed parchmen
by the Visited House
and the uplifted roo
and the sea that is full
surely, the punishment of your Lord is about to come
there is none to prevent it
Upon the Day when the heaven spins dizzily
and the mountains move, moving
On that Day woe to those who belie
those who are in plunging, playing
On that Day when they shall be pitched into the Fire of Gehenna (Hell)
(it will be said to them): 'This is the Fire which you belied
Is this magic, or is it that you do you not see
Roast in it, bear it with or without patience, it is the same, you are only being recompensed for that which you used to do.
But in the Gardens the righteous shall live in bliss
rejoicing in all their Lord has given them, and their Lord will guard them against the punishment of Hell
(It will be said): 'Eat and drink with a good appetite because of that which you did.
(They shall be) reclining on couches ranged in rows and We shall wed them to houris (virgins of Paradise) with large wide eyes
Those who believe, and whose descendants follow in belief, We will join their descendants to them. And We will not reduce them of anything of their deeds. Every one is pledged for what he has earned
We shall give them fruits and meat as they desire
There they will pass a goblet to one another with neither idle talk nor sin
and youths, of their own, shall pass among them as if they were hidden pearls
They will go to one another asking each other questions
'When we were among our people, ' they will say, 'we were ever fearful
but Allah has been gracious to us and has protected us from the punishment of the burning wind
Before, we were supplicating to Him. He is the Giving, the Most Merciful.
Therefore, remind. By the Favor of Allah, you are neither a soothsayer, nor mad
Or do they say: 'He is a poet, we are waiting for some misfortune to befall him?
Say: 'Wait if you will; I shall be waiting with you.
Or, do their intellects order them to do this? Or, are they an insolent people
Do they say: 'He has invented it? ' No, they do not believe
Let them produce a phrase like it, if what they say is true
Or, were they created out of nothing? Or, were they their own creators
Or, did they create the heavens and the earth? No, their belief is not certain
Or, are the treasures of your Lord in their keeping? Or, are they the controllers
Or, do they have a ladder on which they listen? Then let any of them that has listened bring a clear authority
Or, has He daughters, and they sons
Or, do you ask them for a wage, so that they become weighed down in debt
Or, is the Unseen in their keeping, so they are writing it down
Or, do they desire to outwit? The unbelievers are the outwitted
Or, do they have a god, other than Allah? Exaltations to Allah above that which they associate
Even if they saw lumps falling from the sky they would say: 'A massed cloud!
So leave them till they encounter their Day in which they shall be thunderstruck
The Day when their guile shall not relieve them a thing, and they shall not be helped
For the harmdoers there is indeed, a punishment before that, but most of them do not know
And be patient under the Judgement of your Lord, surely, you are before Our Eyes. And exalt with the praise of your Lord when you arise
and exalt Him in the night and at the declining of the stars
