Category: At-Tur

By the mount Tur (where Moses was given the Torah),

and by the Book written

on a fine unfolded scroll,

And the House (Kaaba) that is visited,

And by the roof (sky) raised high (i.e. the heaven).

And by the sea kept filled (or it will be fire kindled on the Day of Resurrection).

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

There shall be none to avert it.
Meaning:-
Avert: to turn away or aside.

On the Day when the heaven will shake with a dreadful shaking,

and the mountain will travel around.

So woe on that day to those who reject (the truth),
Meaning:-
Woe: great sorrow or distress.

Who are playing in falsehood.

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

“This is the Fire which you used to deny.

Then is this magic, or do you not see?

Now burn therein; it will be the same for you, whether you bear it patiently or do not bear it patiently. You are being rewarded according to your deeds.”

Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and bliss
Meaning:-
Bliss: perfect happiness; great joy.

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

It will be said to them: “Eat and drink to your hearts content, this is the reward for your good deeds.”

They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.
Meaning:-
Recline: lean or lie back in a relaxed position with the back supported.

We shall unite the true believers with those of their descendants who follow them in their faith, and shall not deny them the reward of their good deeds – everyone is responsible for his deeds
Meaning:-
Descendant: a person who is related to you and who lives after you, such as your child or grandchild

– and We shall provide them fruits, and such meats as they desire.

They will pass from hand to hand a cup of wine which shall cause no idle talk, nor sinful urge;

and there shall wait for them young boys, exclusively appointed for their service, who will be as handsome as treasured pearls.

They will converse with one another about their worldly life
Meaning:-
converse: talk, speak, chat, have a conversation

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

But Allah has been gracious to us and He has saved us from the punishment of the hot wind:

Indeed we used to pray only to Him. Surely He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.”

Therefore, O Prophet, keep up your mission of admonition. By the grace of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman.
Meaning:-
Admonition: warning, advice, or caution.
Soothsayer: fortune teller, a person supposed to be able to foresee the future.

Do they say: “He is but a poet! We are waiting for some misfortune to befall him.”

Say (O Muhammad to them): “Wait! I am with you, among the waiters!”

Do their minds command them this [i.e. to tell a lie against you (Muhammad)] or are they people exceeding the bounds (i.e. from Belief in Allah to disbelief).

Do they say: “This man (Muhammad) has invented this Qur’an himself?” Nay! They do not want to believe.

Let them produce a scripture (the Quran) like this, if what they say is true!

Were they created without a Creator? Or were they their own creators?

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.

Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or is it they who control them?

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

Or has He (Allah) only daughters and you have sons?

Do you ask them payment for your services, that they should fear to be overburdened by a debt?

Do they have the knowledge of the unseen? Can they write it down?

Or do they intend a plot (against you O Muhammad)? But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) are themselves in a plot!
Meaning:-
Monotheism: the doctrine or belief that there is only one God.

Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah, far above those deities they associate with Him.
Meaning:-
Exalted: placed at a high or powerful level; held in high regard.
Deities: Fake Gods, God; Supreme Being, like a god or goddess.

They are such people that, even if they will see a part of heaven falling down, they would say: “It is but a mass of clouds.”

So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will sink into a fainting (with horror).

The Day when their plotting shall not avail them at all nor will they be helped (i.e. they will receive their punishment in Hell).

And surely those who are unjust shall have a punishment besides that (in the world), but most of them do not know.

Therefore (O Muhammad), wait for the judgement of your Lord with patience, We are surely watching over you. Glorify your Lord with His praises when you wake up,

And in the night time, also glorify His Praises, and at the setting of the stars.
