كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ﴿٥٢﴾

Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ﴿٥٣﴾

Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another? Nay, but they are froward folk.

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ﴿٥٤﴾

So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٥٥﴾

And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ﴿٥٦﴾

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ﴿٥٧﴾

I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ﴿٥٨﴾

Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَـٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ﴿٥٩﴾

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).

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ﴿٦٠﴾

And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.

وَٱلطُّورِ﴿١﴾

By the Mount,

وَكِتَـٰبٍ مَّسْطُورٍ﴿٢﴾

And a Scripture inscribed

فِى رَقٍّ مَّنشُورٍ﴿٣﴾

On fine parchment unrolled,

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ﴿٤﴾

And the House frequented,

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ﴿٥﴾

And the roof exalted,

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ﴿٦﴾

And the sea kept filled,

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌ﴿٧﴾

Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍ﴿٨﴾

There is none that can ward it off.

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا﴿٩﴾

On the day when the heaven will heave with (awful) heaving,

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا﴿١٠﴾

And the mountains move away with (awful) movement,

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ﴿١١﴾

Then woe that day unto the deniers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ﴿١٢﴾

Who play in talk of grave matters;

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا﴿١٣﴾

The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell

هَـٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ﴿١٤﴾

(And it is said unto them): This is the Fire which ye were wont to deny.
