AL TUR (THE MOUNTAIN)

Section 1
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
[Tur 52:1] By oath of (mount) Tur.
[Tur 52:2] And by oath of a passage, written [Tur 52:3] On an open record.
[Tur 52:4] And by oath of the Inhabited House.
[Tur 52:5] And the lofty roof.
[Tur 52:6] And the sea set aflame.
[Tur 52:7] Indeed your Lords punishment will surely take place.
[Tur 52:8] No one can avert it.
[Tur 52:9] A day on which the heavens will shake with a visible shaking.
[Tur 52:10] And the mountains will move with a visible movement.
[Tur 52:11] So on that day, ruin is for those who deny.
[Tur 52:12] Those who are playing in pursuits.
[Tur 52:13] A day when they will be pushed, forcibly shoved towards the fire of
hell.
[Tur 52:14] This is the fire, which you used to deny!

[Tur 52:15] So is this magic, or are you unable to see?

[Tur 52:16] Enter it now whether you patiently bear it or are impatient - it is t
he same for you; for you is a recompense only for what you used to do.
[Tur 52:17] Indeed the pious are in Gardens and peace.
[Tur 52:18] Delighted at the bestowal of their Lord; and their Lord has saved th
em from the fire.
[Tur 52:19] Eat and drink with pleasure, a reward for what you used to do.
[Tur 52:20] Reclining on thrones, in rows; and We have wedded them to maidens wi
th gorgeous eyes.

[Tur 52:21] And those who accepted faith, and whose descendants followed them wi
th faith - We have joined their descendants with them, and have not reduced anyt
hing for them from their deeds; every soul is trapped in its own deeds.
[Tur 52:22] And We aided them with fruit and meat, whatever they desire.
[Tur 52:23] In it, they accept cups from each other, in which is neither any lew
dness nor any sin.
[Tur 52:24] And their boy servants shall go around them, as if they were pearls,
safely hidden.
[Tur 52:25] And one of them turned towards the other, questioning.
[Tur 52:26] Saying, Indeed before this, we were in our houses, worried.
[Tur 52:27] So Allah did us a great favour, and saved us from the punishment of t
he flame.
[Tur 52:28] Indeed we used to worship Him in our previous life; indeed He only is
the Benign, the Most Merciful.
Section 2
[Tur 52:29] Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him
), enlighten, for by the munificence of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer
nor a madman.
[Tur 52:30] Or they allege, He is a poet we await a calamity of the times to befa
ll him.
[Tur 52:31] Proclaim, Go on waiting I too am waiting along with you.

[Tur 52:32] Is this what their senses tell them, or are they a rebellious people
?
[Tur 52:33] What! They say, He has invented the Qur an? Rather they do not have fa
ith.
[Tur 52:34] So let them bring a single discourse like it, if they are truthful.
[Tur 52:35] Have they not been created from some source, or are they themselves
the creators?
[Tur 52:36] Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather they are not ce
rtain.
[Tur 52:37] Or do they have the treasures of your Lord, or are they the authorit
y?
[Tur 52:38] Or do they have any stairs, climbing upon which they eavesdrop? So t
heir eavesdropper should bring some clear proof!
[Tur 52:39] What! The daughters for Him, and the sons for you?

[Tur 52:40] Or do you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him
) ask any fee from them, so they are burdened with the penalty?
[Tur 52:41] Or is the hidden with them, by which they pass judgements?
[Tur 52:42] Or are they planning a conspiracy? So the conspiracy will befall onl
y upon the disbelievers.
[Tur 52:43] Or do they have a God besides Allah? Purity is to Allah from their a
scribing of partners to Him.
[Tur 52:44] And were they to see a portion of the sky falling, they will say, It
is a heap of clouds.
[Tur 52:45] Therefore leave them, until they confront their day, in which they w
ill be stunned.
[Tur 52:46] A day on which their scheming will not benefit them at all, nor will
they be helped.
[Tur 52:47] And indeed for the unjust is another punishment before this, but mos
t of them do not know. (Punishment in the grave is proven by this verse.)
[Tur 52:48] And be patient upon your Lords command, (O dear Prophet Mohammed - pe
ace and blessings be upon him), for you are indeed in Our sight; and proclaim th
e Purity of your Lord while praising Him, whenever you stand.
[Tur 52:49] And proclaim His Purity during the night, and when the stars turn ba
ck.
