فِي رَقّٖ مَّنشُورٖ ٣
in a parchment unfolded;
52:4

By the Overflowing House;1
52:5
وَٱلسَّقۡفِ ٱلۡمَرۡفُوعِ ٥
By the Canopy Raised High;1
52:6
وَٱلۡبَحۡرِ ٱلۡمَسۡجُورِ ٦
And by the Ocean set on fire;1
52:7
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٞ ٧
Verily, the Punishment of your Lord will indeed come to pass;
52:8
مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٖ ٨
none can avert it;
52:9
يَوۡمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوۡرٗا ٩
On the Day when the heaven will be in dreadful commotion.
52:10
وَتَسِيرُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ سَيۡرٗا ١٠
And the mountains will move [aimlessly].
52:11
فَوَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١١
So woe that Day to the disbelievers [of Truth];
52:12
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي خَوۡضٖ يَلۡعَبُونَ ١٢
those who play [and paddle] in shallow trifles.
52:13
يَوۡمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا ١٣
That Day shall they be pushed down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.
52:14
هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٤
[They will be told:] “This is the Fire, which you were wont to disbelieve!
52:15
أَفَسِحۡرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمۡ أَنتُمۡ لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ١٥
“Is this then magic, or is it you that do not see?”
52:16
ٱصۡلَوۡهَا فَٱصۡبِرُوٓاْ أَوۡ لَا تَصۡبِرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ إِنَّمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٦
“Burn you therein: the same is it to you whether you endure it with patience, or without patience: You are but rewarded for your [own] deeds.”
52:17
إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَنَعِيمٖ ١٧
[As to] the [God‐]fearing, they will be in Gardens, and in Bliss,
52:18
فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١٨
happily enjoying the [Bliss] which their Lord has bestowed on them, and their Lord has saved them from the Punishment of the Fire.
52:19
كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٩
[They will be told:] “Enjoy eating and drinking in bliss, because of your [good] deeds!”
52:20
مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٖ مَّصۡفُوفَةٖۖ وَزَوَّجۡنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٖ ٢٠
They will recline [with ease] upon couches arranged in ranks; and We shall wed them to maidens with beautiful big, lustrous eyes.
52:21
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّبَعَتۡهُمۡ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلۡحَقۡنَا بِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ وَمَآ أَلَتۡنَٰهُم مِّنۡ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَيۡءٖۚ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيِٕۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٞ ٢١
And those who believe and whose progeny follow them in Faith, to them shall We join their families [in Paradise]: and We shall not diminish [the reward] of any of their deeds. Each individual is bound by his deeds.
52:22
وَأَمۡدَدۡنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٖ وَلَحۡمٖ مِّمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ ٢٢
And We shall supply to them fruits and meat, anything they shall desire.
52:23
يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأۡسٗا لَّا لَغۡوٞ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأۡثِيمٞ ٢٣
They shall there exchange, one with another, cups free of frivolity, free of sin.
52:24
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غِلۡمَانٞ لَّهُمۡ كَأَنَّهُمۡ لُؤۡلُؤٞ مَّكۡنُونٞ ٢٤
Round about them will serve, [devoted] to them, youth [handsome] as pearls closely-protected.
52:25
وَأَقۡبَلَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٢٥
They will approach each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.
52:26
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبۡلُ فِيٓ أَهۡلِنَا مُشۡفِقِينَ ٢٦
They will say: “Aforetime, we were not without fear about [the fate of] our people.
52:27
فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ ٢٧
“So Allāh favoured us and saved us from the Punishment of the Scorching Wind.
52:28
إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبۡلُ نَدۡعُوهُۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٢٨
“Truly, earlier we did call unto Him: Truly, He the Beneficent,1the Merciful!”
52:29
فَذَكِّرۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٖ وَلَا مَجۡنُونٍ ٢٩
Therefore, remind [them]! For, by the Grace of your Lord, you [O Prophet] are no soothsayer, nor bewitched.
52:30
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٞ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيۡبَ ٱلۡمَنُونِ ٣٠
Or do they say: “[He is] a poet! We await for him some calamity [hatched] by Time!”1
52:31
قُلۡ تَرَبَّصُواْ فَإِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ٣١
Say: “Await you! I too am waiting along with you!”
52:32
أَمۡ تَأۡمُرُهُمۡ أَحۡلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآۚ أَمۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ ٣٢
Is it that their intellects urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?
52:33
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥۚ بَل لَّا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٣٣
Or do they say, “He fabricated the [Message]?” Nay, they have no faith!
52:34
فَلۡيَأۡتُواْ بِحَدِيثٖ مِّثۡلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُواْ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣٤
So, let them produce a saying like it, if they speak the truth!
52:35
أَمۡ خُلِقُواْ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ شَيۡءٍ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقُونَ ٣٥
Were they created out of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?1
52:36
أَمۡ خَلَقُواْ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ ٣٦
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.
52:37
أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡمُصَۜيۡطِرُونَ ٣٧
Or are the Treasures of your Lord with them, or are they the [absolute] controllers [over the treasures].
52:38
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ سُلَّمٞ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ فِيهِۖ فَلۡيَأۡتِ مُسۡتَمِعُهُم بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ ٣٨
Or have they a ladder, by which they [climb up to heaven and] listen [to its secrets]? Then let [such a] listener of theirs produce a manifest proof.
52:39
أَمۡ لَهُ ٱلۡبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡبَنُونَ ٣٩
Or has He [God] only daughters and you have sons?
52:40
أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمٖ مُّثۡقَلُونَ ٤٠
Or is it that you [O Prophet] do ask them for a remuneration [for conveying the Message], so they are ever burdened with a load of debt?
52:41
أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ ٤١
Or is the [knowledge of the] Unseen with them, and they write [it] down?
52:42
أَمۡ يُرِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗاۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡمَكِيدُونَ ٤٢
Or do they intend a plot [against you]? But the Rejecters are themselves ensnared [in a plot].
52:43
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ إِلَٰهٌ غَيۡرُ ٱللَّهِۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٤٣
Or they have a god other than Allāh? Exalted is Allāh, far above the things they associate Him with!
52:44
وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ كِسۡفٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطٗا يَقُولُواْ سَحَابٞ مَّرۡكُومٞ ٤٤
Were they to see pieces of the sky falling [on them], they would [only] say: “Clouds gathered in heaps!”
52:45
فَذَرۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يُصۡعَقُونَ ٤٥
So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall be thunderstruck,
52:46
يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُمۡ كَيۡدُهُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ ٤٦
the Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them.
52:47
وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ عَذَابٗا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٧
And verily, for those who did wrong, there is further punishment besides this:1but most of them know not.
52:48
وَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعۡيُنِنَاۖ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ٤٨
And await in patience the command of your Lord: For, verily, you [O Prophet] are in Our eyes: And celebrate the praises of your Lord the while you stand forth,
52:49
وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡهُ وَإِدۡبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ ٤٩
And for part of the night [also] glorify Him, and at the setting of the stars!
