   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلطُّورِ١

   By the mount

   وَكِتَٰبٍۢ مَّسْطُورٍۢ٢

   And [by] a Book inscribed

   فِى رَقٍّۢ مَّنشُورٍۢ٣

   In parchment spread open

   وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ٤

   And [by] the frequented House

   وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ٥

   And [by] the heaven raised high

   وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ٦

   And [by] the sea filled [with fire],

   إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ٧

   Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

   مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍۢ٨

   Of it there is no preventer.

   يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًۭا٩

   On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

   وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًۭا١٠

   And the mountains will pass on, departing -

   فَوَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ١١

   Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,

   ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍۢ يَلْعَبُونَ١٢

   Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.

   يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا١٣

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

   هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ١٤

   "This is the Fire which you used to deny.

   أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ١٥

   Then is this magic, or do you not see?

   ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ١٦

   [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."

   إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَنَعِيمٍۢ١٧

   Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,

   فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ١٨

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

   كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ١٩

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

   مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّصْفُوفَةٍۢ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ٢٠

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

   وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌۭ٢١

   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.

   وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍۢ وَلَحْمٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ٢٢

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

   يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا لَّا لَغْوٌۭ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌۭ٢٣

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

   ۞ وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌۭ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ٢٤

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

   وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ٢٥

   And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.

   قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ٢٦

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

   فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ٢٧

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

   إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ٢٨

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

   فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍۢ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ٢٩

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

   أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌۭ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ٣٠

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

   قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ٣١

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

   أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ٣٢

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

   أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ٣٣

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

   فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍۢ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ٣٤

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

   أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ٣٥

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

   أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ٣٦

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

   أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ٣٧

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

   أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌۭ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍ٣٨

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

   أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ٣٩

   Or has He daughters while you have sons?

   أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ٤٠

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

   And [by] the day when it displays it

   وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا٤

   And [by] the night when it covers it

   And [by] the earth and He who spread it

   وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا٧

   And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

   فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا٨

   And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

   قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا٩

   He has succeeded who purifies it,

   وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا١٠

   And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

   كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ١١

   Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

   إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا١٢

   When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

   فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا١٣

   And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

   فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا١٤

   But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

   وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا١٥

   And He does not fear the consequence thereof.

   Read the passage · Al-Maa'un

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ١

   Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

   فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ٢

   For that is the one who drives away the orphan

   وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ٣

   And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

   فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ٤

   So woe to those who pray

   ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ٥

   [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

   ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ٦

   Those who make show [of their deeds]

   وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ٧

   And withhold [simple] assistance.
