By the mount

2

And [by] a Book inscribed

3

In parchment spread open

4

And [by] the frequented House

5

And [by] the heaven raised high

6

And [by] the sea filled [with fire]

7

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur

8

Of it there is no preventer

9

On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

10

And the mountains will pass on, departing

11

Then woe, that Day, to the deniers

12

Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves

13

The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say]

14

This is the Fire which you used to deny

15

Then is this magic, or do you not see

16

[Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do

17

Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure

18

Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

19

[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do

20

They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes

21

And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained

22

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

23

They will exchange with one another a cup [of wine] wherein [results] no ill speech or commission of sin

24

There will circulate among them [servant] boys [especially] for them, as if they were pearls well-protected

25

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

26

They will say, "Indeed, we were previously among our people fearful [of displeasing Allah]

27

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

28

Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful

29

So remind [O Muhammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman

30

Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time

31

Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters

32

Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people

33

Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe

34

Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful

35

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]

36

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

37

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]

38

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority

39

Or has He daughters while you have sons

40

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down

41

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down

42

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan

43

Or have they a deity other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him

44

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up

45

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible

46

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped

47

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know

48

And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise

49

And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars
