Aṭ-Ṭûr (Surah 52)

Aṭ-Ṭûr (Mount Ṭûr)

Makki Surah

Introduction

This Meccan sûrah takes its name from verse 1, where Allah swears by Mount Ṭûr, among other things, that the Day of Judgment is inevitable. The punishment of those skeptical of judgment is described, followed by a detailed description of the reward of the believers along with their offspring (verses17-28). Atheism is also rejected (verses 25-36). The Prophet (ﷺ) is reassured of Allah’s support, while the pagan beliefs and arguments are refuted both in this sûrah and the next. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Judgment Is the Truth

1. By Mount Ṭûr! 2. And by the Book written 3. on open pages (for all to read)! 4. And by the (Sacred) House frequently visited! 5. And by the canopy raised (high)! 6. And by the seas set on fire! 7. Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will come to pass— 8. none will avert it— 9. on the Day the heavens will be shaken violently, 10. and the mountains will be blown away entirely.

وَٱلطُّورِ

وَكِتَـٰبٍ مَّسْطُورٍ

فِى رَقٍّ مَّنشُورٍ

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍ

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا

Surah 52 - Aṭ-Ṭûr (Mount Ṭûr) - Verses 1-10

Horrors Awaiting the Deniers

11. Then woe on that Day to the deniers— 12. those who amuse themselves with falsehood! 13. (It is) the Day they will be fiercely shoved into the Fire of Hell. 14. (They will be told,) “This is the Fire which you used to deny. 15. Is this magic, or do you not see? 16. Burn in it! It is the same whether you endure (it) patiently or not. You are only rewarded for what you used to do.”

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

١١

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ

١٢

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا

١٣

هَـٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

١٤

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَـٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ

١٥

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Surah 52 - Aṭ-Ṭûr (Mount Ṭûr) - Verses 11-16

Pleasures Awaiting the Faithful

17. Indeed, the righteous will be in Gardens and bliss, 18. enjoying whatever their Lord will have granted them. And their Lord will have protected them from the torment of the Hellfire. 19. (They will be told,) “Eat and drink happily for what you used to do.” 20. They will be reclining on thrones, (neatly) lined up (facing each other). And We will pair them to maidens with gorgeous eyes. 21. As for those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith, We will elevate their descendants to their rank, never discounting anything (of the reward) of their deeds. Every person will reap only what they sowed. 22. And We will (continually) provide them with whatever fruit or meat they desire. 23. They will pass around to each other a drink (of pure wine,) which leads to no idle talk or sinfulness. 24. And they will be waited on by their youthful servants like spotless pearls.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ

١٧

فَـٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

١٨

كُلُوا وَٱشْرَبُوا هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

١٩

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ

٢٠

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَـٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَـٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ ۚ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ

٢١

وَأَمْدَدْنَـٰهُم بِفَـٰكِهَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

٢٢

يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًا لَّا لَغْوٌ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌ

٢٣

۞ وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ

Surah 52 - Aṭ-Ṭûr (Mount Ṭûr) - Verses 17-24

Remembering Past Lives in Paradise

25. They will turn to one another inquisitively. 26. They will say, “Before (this reward) we used to be in awe (of Allah) in the midst of our people. 27. So Allah has graced us and protected us from the torment of (Hell’s) scorching heat. 28. Indeed, we used to call upon Him (alone) before. He is truly the Most Kind, Most Merciful.”

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

٢٥

قَالُوٓا إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ

٢٦

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ

٢٧

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
