بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

وَالطُّوْرِۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the Mountain,

وَكِتٰبٍ مَّسْطُوْرٍۙ‏(2)

(2) And the Book written

فِىْ رَقٍّ مَّنْشُوْرٍۙ‏(3)

(3) In an outstretched fine parchment,

وَالْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُوْرِۙ‏(4)

(4) And the House (Kaaba) that is visited,

وَالسَّقْفِ الْمَرْفُوْعِۙ‏(5)

(5) And the elevated canopy

وَالْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُوْرِۙ‏(6)

(6) And the swollen sea

اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لوَاقِعٌ ۙ‏(7)

(7) Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come to pass;

مَّا لَهٗ مِنْ دَافِعٍۙ‏(8)

(8) There shall be none to avert it;

يَّوْمَ تَمُوْرُ السَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا ۙ‏(9)

(9) On the day when the heaven shall move from side to side

وَّتَسِيْرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا ؕ‏(10)

(10) And the mountains shall pass away passing away (altogether).

فَوَيْلٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَۙ‏(11)

(11) So woe on that day to those who reject (the truth),

الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ فِىْ خَوْضٍ يَّلْعَبُوْنَ‌ۘ‏(12)

(12) Those who sport entering into vain discourses.

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّوْنَ اِلٰى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّاؕ‏(13)

(13) The day on which they shall be driven away to the fire of hell with violence.

هٰذِهِ النَّارُ الَّتِىْ كُنْتُمْ بِهَا تُكَذِّبُوْنَ‏(14)

(14) This is the fire which you used to give the lie to.

اَفَسِحْرٌ هٰذَاۤ اَمْ اَنْتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(15)

(15) Is it magic then or do you not see?

اِصْلَوْهَا فَاصْبِرُوْۤا اَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوْا‌ۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ‌ؕ اِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ‏(16)

(16) Enter into it, then bear (it) patiently, or do not bear (it) patiently, it is the same to you; you shall be requited only (for) what you did.

اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِىْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّنَعِيْمٍۙ‏(17)

(17) Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and bliss

فٰكِهِيْنَ بِمَاۤ اٰتٰٮهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ‌ۚ وَوَقٰٮهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيْمِ‏(18)

(18) Rejoicing because of what their Lord gave them, and their Lord saved them from the punishment of the burning fire.

كُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا هَنِٓيْئًا ۢ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَۙ‏(19)

(19) Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did,

مُتَّكِئِيْنَ عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوْفَةٍ‌ ۚ وَزَوَّجْنٰهُمْ بِحُوْرٍ عِيْنٍ‏(20)

(20) Reclining on thrones set in lines, and We will unite them to large-eyed beautiful ones.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ بِاِيْمَانٍ اَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَاۤ اَلَتْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَمَلِهِمْ مِّنْ شَىْءٍ‌ؕ كُلُّ امْرِیءٍۢ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِيْنٌ‏(21)

(21) And (as for) those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will unite with them their offspring and We will not diminish to them aught of their work; every man is responsible for what he shall have wrought.

وَاَمْدَدْنٰهُمْ بِفَاكِهَةٍ وَّلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُوْنَ‏(22)

(22) And We will aid them with fruit and flesh such as they desire.

يَتَنَازَعُوْنَ فِيْهَا كَاْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيْهَا وَلَا تَاْثِيْمٌ‏(23)

(23) They shall pass therein from one to another a cup wherein there shall be nothing vain nor any sin.

وَيَطُوْفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَاَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُوْنٌ‏(24)

(24) And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls.

وَاَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ‏(25)

(25) And some of them shall advance towards others questioning each other.

قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىْۤ اَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِيْنَ‏(26)

(26) Saying: Surely we feared before on account of our families:

فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقٰٮنَا عَذَابَ السَّمُوْمِ‏(27)

(27) But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the punishment of the hot wind:

اِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلُ نَدْعُوْهُ‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْبَرُّ الرَّحِيْمُ‏(28)

(28) Surely we called upon Him before: Surely He is the Benign, the Merciful.

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَاۤ اَنْتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍ وَّلَا مَجْنُوْنٍؕ‏(29)

(29) Therefore continue to remind, for by the grace of your Lord, you are not a soothsayer, or a madman.

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهٖ رَيْبَ الْمَنُوْنِ‏(30)

(30) Or do they say: A poet, we wait for him the evil accidents of time.

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوْا فَاِنِّىْ مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُتَرَبِّصِيْنَ ؕ‏(31)

(31) Say: Wait, for surely I too with you am of those who wait.

اَمْ تَاْمُرُهُمْ اَحْلَامُهُمْ بِهٰذَآ‌ اَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُوْنَ‌ۚ‏(32)

(32) Nay! do their understandings bid them this? Or are they an inordinate people?

اَمْ يَقُوْلُوْنَ تَقَوَّلَهٗ‌ ۚ بَلْ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ‌ ۚ‏(33)

(33) Or do they say: He has forged it. Nay! they do not believe.

فَلْيَاْتُوْا بِحَدِيْثٍ مِّثْلِهٖۤ اِنْ كَانُوْا صٰدِقِيْنَؕ‏(34)

(34) Then let them bring an announcement like it if they are truthful.

اَمْ خُلِقُوْا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ اَمْ هُمُ الْخٰلِقُوْنَؕ‏(35)

(35) Or were they created without there being anything, or are they the creators?

اَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ‌ۚ بَلْ لَّا يُوْقِنُوْنَؕ‏(36)

(36) Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! they have no certainty.

اَمْ عِنْدَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ اَمْ هُمُ الْمُصَۜيْطِرُوْنَؕ‏(37)

(37) Or have they the treasures of your Lord with them? Or have they been set in absolute authority?

اَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَّسْتَمِعُوْنَ فِيْهِ‌ ۚ فَلْيَاْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍؕ‏(38)

(38) Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority.

اَمْ لَهُ الْبَنٰتُ وَلَكُمُ الْبَنُوْنَؕ‏(39)

(39) Or has He daughters while you have sons?

اَمْ تَسْئَلُهُمْ اَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُوْنَؕ‏(40)

(40) Or do you ask them for a reward, so that they are overburdened by a debt?

اَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُوْنَؕ‏(41)

(41) Or have they the unseen so that they write (it) down?

اَمْ يُرِيْدُوْنَ كَيْدًا‌ؕ فَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا هُمُ الْمَكِيْدُوْنَؕ‏(42)

(42) Or do they desire a war? But those who disbelieve shall be the vanquished ones in war.

اَمْ لَهُمْ اِلٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ‌ؕ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ‏(43)

(43) Or have they a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him).

وَاِنْ يَّرَوْا كِسْفًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًا يَّقُوْلُوْا سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُوْمٌ‏(44)

(44) And if they should see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled up clouds.

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتّٰى يُلٰقُوْا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِىْ فِيْهِ يُصْعَقُوْنَۙ‏(45)

(45) Leave them then till they meet that day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon (with terror):

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِىْ عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًا وَّلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَؕ‏(46)

(46) The day on which their struggle shall not avail them aught, nor shall they be helped.

وَاِنَّ لِلَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا عَذَابًا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ‏(47)

(47) And surely those who are unjust shall have a punishment besides that (in the world), but most of them do not know.

وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَاِنَّكَ بِاَعْيُنِنَا‌ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِيْنَ تَقُوْمُۙ‏(48)

(48) And wait patiently for the Judgement of your Lord, for surely you are before Our eyes, and sing the praise of your Lord when you rise;

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَاِدْبَارَ النُّجُوْمِ‏(49)

(49) And in the night, give Him glory too, and at the setting of the stars.
