53. Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another? Nay, but they are froward folk.
54. So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,
55. And warn, for warning profiteth believers.
56. I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.
57. I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.
58. Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.
59. And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of
old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).
60. And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.
Surah 52. At-Tur
1. By the Mount,
2. And a Scripture inscribed
3. On fire parchment unrolled,
4. And the House frequented,
5. And the roof exalted,
6. And the sea kept filled,
7. Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;
8. There is none that can ward it off.
9. On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving,
10. And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,
11. Then woe that day unto the deniers
12. Who play in talk of grave matters;
13. The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell.
14. (And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.
15. Is this magic, or do ye not see?
16. Endure the heat thereof, and whether ye are patient of it or impatient of it is all one for you. Ye are only being paid
for what ye used to do.
17. Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,
18. Happy because of what thee Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment
of hell fire.
19. (And it is said until them): Eat and drink in health (as reward) for what ye used to do,
20. Reclining on ranged couches. And We wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.
21. And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We
deprive them of naught of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned.
22. And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire.
23. There the pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin.
24. And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls.
25. And some of them draw near unto others, questioning,
26. Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious;
27. But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.
28. Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.
29. Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman.
30. Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time?
31. Say (unto them): Expect (your fill)! Lo! I am with you among the expectant
32. Do their minds command them to do this, or are they an outrageous folk?
33. Or say they: He hath invented it? Nay, but they will not believe!
34. Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful:
35. Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators?
36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing!
