[1] 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.
