even while they were looking on.
051.045 Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.
051.046 So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.
051.047 With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
051.048 And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!
051.049 And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.
051.050 Hasten ye then (at once) to God: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
051.051 And make not another an object of worship with God: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
051.052 Similarly, no apostle came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer,
or one possessed"!
051.053 Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing
beyond bounds!
051.054 So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.
051.055 But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers.
051.056 I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
051.057 No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me.
051.058 For God is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever).
051.059 For the Wrong-doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let
them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!
051.060 Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
THE MOUNT, CHAPTER NO. 052
052.001 By the Mount (of Revelation);
052.002 By a Decree inscribed
052.003 In a Scroll unfolded;
052.004 By the much-frequented Fane;
052.005 By the Canopy Raised High;
052.006 And by the Ocean filled with Swell;-
052.007 Verily, the Doom of thy Lord will indeed come to pass;-
052.008 There is none can avert it;-
052.009 On the Day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.
052.010 And the mountains will fly hither and thither.
052.011 Then woe that Day to those that treat (Truth) as Falsehood;-
052.012 That play (and paddle) in shallow trifles.
052.013 That Day shall they be thrust down to the Fire of Hell, irresistibly.
052.014 "This:, it will be said, "Is the Fire,- which ye were wont to deny!
052.015 "Is this then a fake, or is it ye that do not see?
052.016 "Burn ye therein: the same is it to you whether ye bear it with patience, or not: Ye but receive the recompense
of your (own) deeds."
052.017 As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness,-
052.018 Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the
Penalty of the Fire.
052.019 (To them will be said:) "Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds."
052.020 They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks; and We shall join them to
Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
052.021 And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith,- to them shall We join their families: Nor
shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds.
052.022 And We shall bestow on them, of fruit and meat, anything they shall desire.
052.023 They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity, free of all taint of ill.
