Surah “The Mount, The Mountain”

as rendered by [The Monotheist Group] (2011 Edition) — 49 verses

By the mount
And a recorded Scripture
In parchment unrolled
And the erected sanctuary
And the ceiling which is raised
And the sea that is set aflame
Your Lord's retribution is unavoidable
Nothing can stop it
The Day when the sky will violently thunder
And the mountains will be wiped out
Woe on that Day to the deniers
Who are in their recklessness, playing
The Day they will be called into Hell, forcibly
"This is the Fire which you used to deny!"
"Is this magic, or do you not see"
"Enter it, whether you are patient or impatient, it will be the same for you. You are only being requited for what you used to do."
The righteous are in paradises and bliss
Delighted by what their Lord has granted them; and their Lord has spared them the retribution of Hell
Eat and drink happily because of what you used to do
They recline on arranged furnishings, and We coupled them with wonderful companions
And those who believed, and their progeny also followed them in belief; We will have their progeny join them. We never fail to reward them for any work. Every person is paid for what he did
We will supply them with fruit and meat such as they desire
They will enjoy drinks in which there is no harm, nor regret
And around them will be children like protected pearls
And they came to one another asking
They said: "We used to be compassionate among our people."
"God thus blessed us, and has spared us the agony of the fiery winds."
"We used to implore Him before; He is the Most Kind, the Most Merciful."
Therefore, you shall remind. For by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor mad
Or do they Say: "He is a poet; so let us just wait until a disaster befalls him."
Say: "Continue waiting; for I will wait along with you."
Or do their dreams dictate this to them, or are they a transgressing people
Or do they Say: "He made it all up" No, they simply do not believe
Let them produce a narration like this, if they are truthful
Or were they created from nothing Or was it them who create
Or did they create the heavens and the Earth No, they do not comprehend
Or do they possess the treasures of your Lord Are they in control?
Or do they have a stairway that enables them to listen Then let their listeners show their proof
Or to Him belong the daughters, and to you belong the son
Or do you ask them for a wage, thus they are burdened by the fin
Or do they know the future, thus they have it recorde
Or do they intend to scheme Indeed, it is the rejecters who are schemed against
Or do they have another god besides God God be glorified above what they set up
And if they see a spectacle from the sky, they will Say: "Piled clouds!"
So disregard them until they meet the Day in which they are struck
The Day when their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped
And for those who transgressed will be a retribution beyond this, but most of them do not know
You shall be patient for the judgement of your Lord, for you are in Our sights, and glorify the praise of your Lord when you get up
Also during the night glorify Him, and at the setting of the stars
