By the Mount (of Revelation);\n2. By a Decree Inscribed\n3. In a Scroll unfolded;\n4. By the much-frequented Fane;\n5. By the Canopy Raised High;\n6. And by the Ocean\n Filled with Swell;\u2014\n7. Verily, the Doom of thy Lord\n Will indeed come to pass;\u2014\n8. There is none\n Can avert it;\u2014\n9. On the Day when\n The firmament will be\n In dreadful commotion.\n10. And the mountains will fly\n Hither and thither.\n11. Then woe that Day\n To those that treat\n (Truth) as Falsehood;\u2014\n12. That play (and paddle)\n In shallow trifles.\n13. That Day shall they be\n Thrust down to the Fire\n Of Hell, irresistibly.\n14. \"This\", it will be said,\n \"Is the Fire,\u2014which ye\n Were wont to deny!\n15. \"Is this then a fake,\n Or is it ye that\n Do not see?\n16. \"Burn ye therein:\n The same is it to you\n Whether ye bear it\n With patience, or not:\n Ye but receive the recompense\n Of your (own) deeds.\"\n17. As to the Righteous,\n They will be in Gardens,\n And in Happiness,\u2014\n18. Enjoying the (Bliss) which\n Their Lord hath bestowed\n On them, and their Lord\n Shall deliver them from\n The Penalty of the Fire.\n19. (To them will be said:)\n \"Eat and drink ye,\n With profit and health,\n Because of your (good) deeds.\"\n20. They will recline (with ease)\n On Thrones (of dignity)\n Arranged in ranks;\n And We shall join them\n To Companions, with beautiful\n Big and lustrous eyes.\n21. And those who believe\n And whose families follow\n Them in Faith,\u2014 to them\n Shall We join their families:\n Nor shall We deprive them\n (Of the fruit) of aught\n Of their works:\n (Yet) is each individual\n In pledge for his deeds.\n22. And We shall bestow\n On them, of fruit and meat,\n Anything they shall desire.\n23. They shall there exchange,\n One with another,\n A (loving) cup\n Free of frivolity,\n Free of all taint\n Of ill.\n24. Round about them will serve,\n (Devoted) to them,\n Youths (handsome) as Pearls\n Well-guarded.\n25. They will advance\n To each other, engaging\n In mutual enquiry.\n26. They will say: \"Aforetime,\n We were not without fear\n For the sake of our people.\n27. \"But God has been good\n To us, and has delivered us\n From the Penalty\n Of the Scorching Wind.\n28. \"Truly, we did call\n Unto Him from of old:\n Truly it is He,\n The Beneficent, the Merciful!\n29. Wherefore proclaim thou\n The praises (of thy Lord):\n For by the Grace\n Of thy Lord, thou art\n No (vulgar) soothsayer, nor\n Art thou one possessed.\n30. Or do they say:\u2014\n \"A Poet! we await\n For him some calamity\n (Hatched) by Time!\"\n31. Say thou: \"Await ye!\u2014\n I too will wait\n Along with you!\"\n32. Is it that their faculties\n Of understanding urge them\n To this, or are they\n But a people transgressing\n Beyond bounds?\n33. Or do they say,\n \"He fabricated the (Message)\"?\n Nay, they have no faith!\n34. Let them then produce\n A recital like unto it,\u2014\n If (it be) they speak\n The Truth!\n35. Were they created of\n nothing,\n Or were they themselves\n The creators?\n36. Or did they create\n The heavens and the earth?\n Nay, they have\n No firm belief.\n37. Or are the Treasures\n Of thy Lord with them,\n Or are they the managers\n (Of affairs)?\n38. Or have they a ladder,\n By which they can (climb\n Up to heaven and) listen\n (To its secrets)? Then let\n (Such a) listener of theirs\n Produce a manifest proof.\n39. Or has He only daughters\n And ye have sons?\n40. Or is it that thou\n Dost ask for a reward,\n So that they are burdened\n With a load of debt?\u2014\n41. Or that the Unseen\n Is in their hands,\n And they write it down?\n42. Or do they intend\n A plot (against thee)?\n But those who defy God\n Are themselves involved\n In a Plot!\n43. Or have they a god\n Other than God?\n Exalted is God\n Far above the things\n They associate with Him!\n44. Were they to see\n A piece of the sky\n Falling (on them), they\n Would (only) say: \"Clouds\n Gathered in heaps!\"\n45. So leave them alone\n Until they encounter\n That Day of theirs,\n Wherein they shall (perforce)\n Swoon (with terror),\u2014\n46. The Day when their plotting\n Will avail them nothing\n And no help shall be\n Given them.\n47. And verily, for those\n Who do wrong, there is\n Another punishment besides this:\n But most of them\n Understand not.\n48. Now await in patience\n The command of thy Lord:\nFor verily thou art\n In Our eyes:\n And celebrate the praises\n Of thy Lord the while\n Thou standest forth,\n49. And for part of the night\n Also praise thou Him,\u2014\n And at the retreat\n Of the stars!","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra LII. \u1e6c\u016br, or the Mo...","type":"page"}
