52. Sura at-Tur with Urdu Translation

Sura 52. at-Tur (Mount Sinai):

In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Ever-Merciful.

1. By the (Mountain) at-Tur,

2. And by the Book inscribed,

3. (Which is) on an Unfolded Scroll,

4. And by the House populated (by the angels i.e. Ka‘ba in heaven),

5. And by the Lofty Roof (i.e. High Heaven or the Most Exalted Throne),

6. And by the swelling sea!

7. Surely the torment of your Lord will certainly take place.

8. No one can avert it.

9. The Day when the heaven will shake with a terrible tremor,

10. And the mountains (leaving their locations) will fly fast (like clouds) and scatter (like dust particles),

11. So on that Day woe to those who belie,

12. Those who are playing a game of negligence, rapt in falsehood (absurdity).

13. The Day when they will be forcefully pushed towards the Fire of Hell,

14. (It will be said to them:) ‘This is the Fire of Hell you used to belie.

15. So is it magic or do you not see?

16. Enter it. Then it is all the same for you whether you observe patience or you do not observe patience. You will be paid only for those deeds which you used to do.’

17. Surely the Godfearing people will be in the Gardens and Bliss.

18. They will be delighted at and rejoicing in the (bestowals) their Lord will have blessed them with. And their Lord will keep them safe from the punishment of Hell.

19. (It will be said to them:) ‘Relish food and drink as reward of the (pious) deeds which you used to do.’

20. They will be reclining (sitting) on couches arranged in rows and We will marry them to maidens with fair colour (and) fascinating eyes.

21. And those who believe and their children follow them in faith, We shall unite their children also with them (in the ranks of Paradise even if their actions would not fall in that grade. It would be in the honour of their pious fathers). And We will also not reduce anyway the reward of the actions of their (pious fathers. Besides this,) everyone will be held in (reward and punishment of) his own works.

22. And We will keep giving them fruits and meat more and more as they desire.

23. There, they will take the cups (of holy drink) by grabbing. This (holy drink of Paradise) will be free of foolish talk and sinful acts.

24. And (the serving) youths will go round them, as if they were pearls kept hidden in covers.

25. And they will turn to one another enquiring well-being.

26. They will say: ‘Surely before this we used to live in fear (of Allah’s torment) in our homes.

27. So Allah has been Gracious to favour us and has saved us from the punishment of the Fire of Hell.

28. Indeed we used to worship Him alone beforehand. Surely He is Most Gracious, Ever-Merciful.’

29. So, (O Esteemed Beloved,) continue to admonish (them). By the grace and blessing of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer (i.e. the one who gives news through the jinn) nor a madman.

30. Do the disbelievers say: ‘(He is) a poet for whom we look forward to some temporal disasters’?

31. Say: ‘Wait on, I am also waiting together with you (for your destruction).’

32. Do their mental faculties suggest them this (foolishness) or are they rioters and rebels?

33. Or do they say: ‘He (the Messenger) has invented it (the Qur’an) himself’? (No indeed;) rather they simply do not believe (in the Truth).

34. So let them produce a treatise like this (Qur’an) if they are truthful.

35. Have they been created by nothing or are they themselves the creators?

36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth themselves? (No indeed;) in fact they do not have any faith (in the Truth).

37. Or do they own the treasures of your Lord? Or are they guards and watchmen over them?

38. Or do they have any ladder (by which they ascend) and listen stealthily (to the heaven)? So let the listener among them bring the clear proof.

39. Are there daughters for Him (the Lord) and sons for you?

40. Do you ask them for wages that they are weighed down with debt?

41. Do they have (the knowledge of) the unseen that they write down?

42. Do they seek to deceive (you) by trick? Those who disbelieve are being caught in their own trap.

43. Do they have any god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah, above all what they set up as a partner (with Allah).

44. And if they see a fragment of the sky falling (on them, even then) they will say: ‘It is a layered (thick) cloud.’

45. So leave them (in their plight) till they meet that Day of theirs when they will be destroyed,

46. The Day when their plots will be of no use for them, nor will they be helped.

47. And for those who are committed to doing wrong, there is a torment for them besides this torment as well but most of them do not know.

48. And, (O Esteemed Beloved, do not grieve over what they say). Wait patiently for the Command of your Lord. Surely you are (at all times) before Our eyes. And glorify your Lord with His praise whenever you stand forth.

49. And also glorify Him during the hours of the night and (in later part of it) when the stars fade out.
