In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
52:1Mt. Sinai.
52:2The recorded scripture.
52:3Published in books.
52:4The frequented Shrine.
52:5The exalted ceiling.
52:6The sea that is set aflame.
52:7Your Lord’s requital is unavoidable.
52:8No force in the universe can stop it.
52:9The day will come when the sky will violently thunder.
52:10The mountains will be wiped out.
52:11Woe on that day to the disbelievers –
52:12who are in their blundering, heedless.
52:13They will be herded into Gehenna, forcibly.
52:14This is the Fire in which you used to disbelieve.
52:15Is this magic, or do you not see?
52:16Suffer the burning. Whether you are patient or impatient, it will be the same for you. This is the just requital for what you did.
52:17The righteous have deserved gardens and bliss.
52:18They enjoy what their Lord has reserved for them; their Lord has spared them the retribution of Hell.
52:19Eat and drink happily, in return for your works.
52:20They relax on luxurious furnishings, and we match them with beautiful spouses.
52:21For those who believed, and their children also followed them in belief, we will have their children join them. We never fail to reward them for any work. Every person is paid for what he did.
52:22We will supply them with fruits and meats that they love.
52:23They will enjoy drinks that are never polluted, and never sinful to drink.
52:24Serving them will be servants like protected pearls.
52:25They will meet each other and reminisce among themselves.
52:26They will say, “We used to be kind and humble among our people.
52:27“GOD has blessed us, and has spared us the agony of ill winds.
52:28“We used to implore Him; He is the Most Kind, Most Merciful.”
The Messenger
52:29You shall remind the people. With your Lord’s blessing’s upon you, you are neither a soothsayer, nor crazy.
52:30They may say, “He is a poet; let us just wait until he is dead.”
52:31Say, “Go on waiting; I will wait along with you.”
52:32Is it their dreams that dictate their behavior, or are they naturally wicked?
52:33Do they say, “He made it all up?” Instead, they are simply disbelievers.
“Mohammedans” Challenge God and Produce Hadith
52:34Let them produce a Hadith like this, if they are truthful.
52:35Were they created from nothing? Are they the creators?
52:36Did they create the heavens and the earth? Indeed, they have no certainty.
52:37Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Are they in control?
52:38Do they climb a ladder that enables them to listen? Let their listeners show their proof.
52:39Does He have daughters, while you have sons?
52:40Are you asking them for any wage, and they are burdened thereby?
52:41Do they know the future, and have it recorded?
52:42Are they plotting and scheming? The disbelievers’ schemes backfire against them.
52:43Do they have another god beside GOD? GOD be glorified, far above having partners.
52:44When they see masses falling from the sky, they will say, “Piled clouds!”
52:45Disregard them until they meet the day in which they are struck.
52:46On that day, their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped.
52:47Those who transgress suffer retribution here, but most of them do not know.
52:48You shall steadfastly persevere in carrying out your Lord’s command – you are in our eyes – and glorify and praise your Lord when you get up.
52:49Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as the stars fade away.
