Waalttoori

By the mount of Tūr[1],

Wakitabin mastoorin

and by the Book inscribed[2]

Fee raqqin manshoorin

on an unrolled parchment[3],

Waalbayti almaAAmoori

and by the much-frequented House[4],

Waalssaqfi almarfooAAi

and by the canopy raised high,

Waalbahri almasjoori

and by the sea set on fire[5].

Inna AAathaba rabbika lawaqiAAun

The punishment of your Lord will surely come to pass;

Ma lahu min dafiAAin

there is none who can avert it.

Yawma tamooru alssamao mawran

On the Day when the heaven will convulse violently[6],

Wataseeru aljibalu sayran

and the mountains will move a horrible movement[7].

Fawaylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Then woe to the deniers on that Day,

Allatheena hum fee khawdin yalAAaboona

those who amuse themselves in falsehood.

Yawma yudaAAAAoona ila nari jahannama daAAAAan

On the Day when they will be shoved into the Fire forcefully,

Hathihi alnnaru allatee kuntum biha tukaththiboona

[They will be told,] “This is the Fire which you used to deny.

Afasihrun hatha am antum la tubsiroona

Is this [punishment] magic, or do you not see?

Islawha faisbiroo aw la tasbiroo sawaon AAalaykum innama tujzawna ma kuntum taAAmaloona

Burn in it, whether you bear it patiently or impatiently, it makes no difference to you[8]; you are recompensed only for what you used to do.”

Inna almuttaqeena fee jannatin wanaAAeemin

Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and bliss,

Fakiheena bima atahum rabbuhum wawaqahum rabbuhum AAathaba aljaheemi

enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of the Blazing Fire.

Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona

“Eat and drink pleasantly for what you used to do,

Muttakieena AAala sururin masfoofatin wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

reclining on couches all lined up”. And We will marry them to houris with wide beautiful eyes.

Waallatheena amanoo waittabaAAathum thurriyyatuhum bieemanin alhaqna bihim thurriyyatahum wama alatnahum min AAamalihim min shayin kullu imriin bima kasaba raheenun

As for those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will cause their offspring to join them, and will not detract anything from [the reward of] their deeds. Everyone will be accountable for what he earned[9].

Waamdadnahum bifakihatin walahmin mimma yashtahoona

And We will provide them with whatever fruit and meat they desire.

YatanazaAAoona feeha kasan la laghwun feeha wala tatheemun

They will pass around to one another a glass [of pure wine] which does not lead to idle talk or sin.

Wayatoofu AAalayhim ghilmanun lahum kaannahum luluon maknoonun

They will be served by their servant boys, as if they were well-protected pearls.

Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

They will turn to one another with questions[10].

Qaloo inna kunna qablu fee ahlina mushfiqeena

They will say, “Before this, we used to be in awe [of Allah] when we were living among our people.

Famanna Allahu AAalayna wawaqana AAathaba alssamoomi

Therefore Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

Inna kunna min qablu nadAAoohu innahu huwa albarru alrraheemu

Indeed, we used to call upon Him before. He is indeed the Most Kind, the Most Merciful.”

Fathakkir fama anta biniAAmati rabbika bikahin wala majnoonin

So keep exhorting [O Prophet], for you are not, by the grace of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

Am yaqooloona shaAAirun natarabbasu bihi rayba almanooni

Or do they say: “He is a poet for whom we await a misfortune[11]”?

Qul tarabbasoo fainnee maAAakum mina almutarabbiseena

Say, “Wait, I too am waiting with you.”

Am tamuruhum ahlamuhum bihatha am hum qawmun taghoona

Do their minds[12] prompt them to say such things, or are they transgressing people?

Am yaqooloona taqawwalahu bal la yuminoona

Or do they say, “He has made this [Qur’an] up”? Rather, they are not willing to believe.

Falyatoo bihadeethin mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena

Then let them produce a discourse like this, if they are truthful[13].

Am khuliqoo min ghayri shayin am humu alkhaliqoona

Were they created by none, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

Am khalaqoo alssamawati waalarda bal la yooqinoona

Or did they create the heavens and earth? Rather, they are not certain in faith.

Am AAindahum khazainu rabbika am humu almusaytiroona

Or do they possess the treasures of your Lord, or do they have full control [of everything]?

Am lahum sullamun yastamiAAoona feehi falyati mustamiAAuhum bisultanin mubeenin

Or do they have a stairway [to the heaven] by which they eavesdrop? Then let those who eavesdrop produce a compelling proof.

Am lahu albanatu walakumu albanoona

Or does He have daughters while you have sons[14]?

Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona

Or are you asking them [O Prophet] for a reward so they are overburdened by debt?

Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona

Or do they have [the knowledge of] the unseen so they are writing it down?

Am yureedoona kaydan faallatheena kafaroo humu almakeedoona

Or do they intend a plot [against the Prophet]? But the plot of the disbelievers will rebound against themselves.

Am lahum ilahun ghayru Allahi subhana Allahi AAamma yushrikoona

Or do they have a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah far above what they associate with Him.

Wain yaraw kisfan mina alssamai saqitan yaqooloo sahabun markoomun

If they were to see pieces of the sky falling down[15], they would still say, “[This is only] a mass of clouds.”

Fatharhum hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee feehi yusAAaqoona

So leave them alone until they encounter their Day in which they will be struck down[16],

Yawma la yughnee AAanhum kayduhum shayan wala hum yunsaroona

the Day their plots will not avail them in the least, nor will they be helped.

Wainna lillatheena thalamoo AAathaban doona thalika walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

And for the wrongdoers, there will be another punishment before that[17], but most of them do not know.

Waisbir lihukmi rabbika fainnaka biaAAyunina wasabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoomu

Be patient [O Prophet] with your Lord’s decree, for indeed you are under Our [Watchful] Eyes. And glorify the praises of your Lord when you rise.

Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waidbara alnnujoomi

And glorify Him at night and when the stars fade away[18].
