By the mount
By the book inscribed
In parchment unrolled
By the House Frequented
By the roof elevated
By the sea overflowing
Verily the torment of thine Lord is sure to befall
Of it there is no averter
On the Day whereon the heaven will shake with an awful shaking
And the mountains will move away with an awful movement
Woe, then, will be on that Day to the belier
Those who in wading sport themselves
On the Day whereon they will be pushed into Hell-Fire with a dreadful push
This is the Fire which ye were wont to believe
Is this magic? or ye still see not clearly
Roast therein; endure it or endure it not, thereof it is equal Unto you. Ye are only being requited for that which ye have been working
Verily the God-fearing will bein Gardens and Delight
Rejoicing in that which their Lord hath vouchsafed Unto them; and their Lord will protect them from the torment of the Flame
Eat and drink with relish for that which ye have been working
Reclining on couches ranged. And We shall couple them with maidens wide eyed
And those who believe and whose progeny follow them in belief. We shall cause their progeny to join them, and We shall not diminish Unto them aught of their own work. Every man is for that which he hath earned a pledge
And We shall increasingly give them fruit and meat such as they desire
They will therein snatch from one another a cup; therein will be neither vain babble nor sin
And there will go round on them youths appointed to attend them as though they were pearls hidden
And they will advance Unto each other asking questions
They will say: verily we were aforetime, midst our household, ever in dread
Wherefore Allah hath obliged us, and hath protected us from the torment of the Scorch
Verily we were wont to pray Unto Him aforetime; verily He! it is He, the Benign, the Merciful.
Wherefore admonish thou! thou art not, by the grace of thy Lord, a soothsayer or a madman
Or say they: a poet for whom we wait some adverse turn of fortune
Say thou: waits verily I am, with you, among the waiters
Enjoin them their understandings to this? or are they a people conumacious
Or say they: he hath fabricated it: aye they will not believe
Let them bring a discourse like thereUnto, if they say sooth
Have they not been created by aught, or are they the creators
Created they the heavens and the earth! Aye! they will not be convinced
Are with them the treasures of thy Lord! or are they the dispensers
Have they a stairway whereby they overhear? Then let their listener bring an authority manifest
Hath He daughters and ye sons
Or askest thou a hire from them so that they are with debt laden
Is with them the Unseen, and they write it down
Seek they to lay a plot? Then those who disbelieve it is they who shall be plotted against
Is theirs a god beside Allah? Hallowed be Allah from that which they associate
And if they should see a fragment of the heaven falling down, they would say: it is only clouds piled up
Wherefore let them alone, till they meet their Day whereon they shall swoon
A Day whereon their plotting will avail them not at all, nor will they be succoured
And verily for those who do wrong there is a torment before that; but most of them know not
And wait thou patiently the judgment of thy Lord; verily thou art before Our eyes; and hallow the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest
And in the night also hallow Him, and at the setting of the stars
