Surah At-Tur

وَٱلطُّورِ ۝١

By the Mount Sinai,

وَكِتَٰبٍ مَّسْطُورٍ ۝٢

and by the Scripture penned

فِى رَقٍّ مَّنشُورٍ ۝٣

on unrolled parchment,

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ ۝٤

by the much-visited House,

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ ۝٥

and by the lofty vault of the sky,

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ ۝٦

and by the swelling sea,

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌ ۝٧

the punishment of your Lord shall certainly come to pass,

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍ ۝٨

there is no one who could avert it,

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا ۝٩

on the Day when the skies are convulsed,

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا ۝١٠

and the mountains shudder and shake.

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١١

Woe on that Day to those who deny the truth,

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ ۝١٢

who divert themselves with idle chatter:

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا ۝١٣

on that Day they shall be ruthlessly thrust into the Fire of Hell.

هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝١٤

This is the fire which you used to deny.

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٥

Is this magic or do you not see?

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٦

Now enter it. Whether you behave patiently or impatiently will make no difference: you are only being repaid for what you have done.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ ۝١٧

Truly, the God-fearing will dwell [on that Day] in gardens and in bliss,

فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٨

rejoicing in whatever their Lord has given them. Their Lord has saved them from the torment of the Fire,

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٩

"Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for your good deeds,"

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ ۝٢٠

reclining on couches arranged in rows. And We shall wed them to fair maidens with large beautiful eyes.

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ ۚ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ ۝٢١

To those who have attained to faith We shall unite their offspring who have also followed them in faith, and We shall not let any of their good deeds go unrewarded; every human being is a pledge for whatever he has earned.

وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ۝٢٢

We shall provide them in abundance with such fruit and meat as they desire.

يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ ۝٢٣

There, they shall pass from hand to hand a cup which does not lead to any idle talk or sin.

۞ وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ ۝٢٤

They will be waited upon by immortal youths, like pearls hidden in their shells.

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢٥

They will converse with one another, putting questions to each other,

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ ۝٢٦

"Before this, when we were among our families, we were full of fear of God's displeasure --

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ ۝٢٧

God has been gracious to us and has saved us from the torment of Hell's intense heat --

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٢٨

before this, we used to pray to Him. Surely, He is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ ۝٢٩

Therefore continue to give warning, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer or a madman.

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ ۝٣٠

If they say, "He is but a poet; we are waiting for some misfortune to befall him,"

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ۝٣١

say [to them], "Wait then: I too am waiting along with you!" --

أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ ۝٣٢

is it their minds that prompt them [to say] this, or are they merely insolent people?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٣٣

Or do they say, "He has invented it himself"? Indeed, they are not willing to believe.

فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝٣٤

Let them produce a scripture like it, if what they say is true.

أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ ۝٣٥

Were they created out of nothing, or are they their own creators?

أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ ۝٣٦

Did they create the heavens and the earth? No! They have no faith.

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ ۝٣٧

Do they own the treasures of your Lord, or have they been given charge of them?

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ۝٣٨

Have they a ladder up to heaven by means of which they can overhear? Then let their listeners bring a clear proof.

أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝٣٩

Does God have daughters while you have sons?

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ ۝٤٠

Or do you ask them for a reward, so that they are over-burdened by debt?

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ۝٤١

Do they possess knowledge of the unseen, so that they can write it down?

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ ۝٤٢

Do they want to hatch some plot? Those who deny the truth will be the victims of the plot.

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ۝٤٣

Or have they a god other than God? Exalted be God over what they ascribe as partners [to Him]!

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُومٌ ۝٤٤

If they should see a part of the heavens falling down, they would say, "A mass of clouds,"

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ ۝٤٥

so leave them alone till they face the Day on which they will be struck dumb,

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ۝٤٦

the Day when none of their scheming will be of the least avail to them, and they will receive no succour.

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝٤٧

Truly, for those who do wrong there is a punishment besides that, though most of them do not know it.

وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا ۖ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٤٨

So wait patiently for the Judgement of your Lord -- you are certainly under Our watchful eye. And glorify and celebrate the praises of your Lord when you rise up [from your sleep].

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٤٩

Extol His glory at night, and at the setting of the stars.
