Quran

[1]   By the Mount (of Revelation);

[2]   By a Decree inscribed

[3]   In a Scroll unfolded;

[4]   By the much-frequented Fane;

[5]   By the Canopy Raised High;

[6]   And by the Ocean filled with Swell;-

[7]   Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass;-

[8]   There is none can avert it;-

[9]   On the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.

[10]   And the mountains will fly hither and thither.

[11]   Then woe that Day to those that treat (Truth) as Falsehood;-

[12]   That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles.

[13]   That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.

[14]   "This:, it will be said, "Is the Fire,- which ye were wont to deny!

[15]   "Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see?

[16]   "Burn ye therein: the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not: Ye but receive the recompense of your (own) deeds."

[17]   As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness,-

[18]   Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire.

[19]   (To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds."

[20]   They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.

[21]   And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith,- to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds.

[22]   And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire.

[23]   They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.

[24]   Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.

[25]   They will advance to each other, engaging in mutual enquiry.

[26]   They will say: "Aforetime, we were not without fear for the sake of our people.

[27]   "But Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the Penalty of the Scorching Wind.

[28]   "Truly, we did call unto Him from of old: truly it is He, the Beneficent, the Merciful!"

[29]   Therefore proclaim thou the praises (of thy Lord): for by the Grace of thy Lord, thou art no (vulgar) soothsayer, nor art thou one possessed.

[30]   Or do they say:- "A Poet! we await for him some calamity (hatched) by Time!"

[31]   Say thou: "Await ye!- I too will wait along with you!"

[32]   Is it that their faculties of understanding urge them to this, or are they but a people transgressing beyond bounds?

[33]   Or do they say, "He fabricated the (Message)"? Nay, they have no faith!

[34]   Let them then produce a recital like unto it,- If (it be) they speak the truth!

[35]   Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?

[36]   Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, they have no firm belief.

[37]   Or are the Treasures of thy Lord with them, or are they the managers (of affairs)?

[38]   Or have they a ladder, by which they can (climb up to heaven and) listen (to its secrets)? Then let (such a) listener of theirs produce a manifest proof.

[39]   Or has He only daughters and ye have sons?

[40]   Or is it that thou dost ask for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?-

[41]   Or that the Unseen in it their hands, and they write it down?

[42]   Or do they intend a plot (against thee)? But those who defy Allah are themselves involved in a Plot!

[43]   Or have they a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah far above the things they associate with Him!

[44]   Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"

[45]   So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror),-

[46]   The Day when their plotting will avail them nothing and no help shall be given them.

[47]   And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this: But most of them understand not.

[48]   Now await in patience the command of thy Lord: for verily thou art in Our eyes: and celebrate the praises of thy Lord the while thou standest forth,

[49]   And for part of the night also praise thou Him,- and at the retreat of the stars!
