1-6 By the Mount and the seething sea, in the frequented House with the elevated roof, in a Book inscribed with a published scroll.

7-8 The punishment of Enki is coming.There is nothing to avert it.

9 On the Day when the heaven sways in agitation.

10 And the mountains go into motion. 11 Woe on that Day to the deniers.

12 Those who play with speculation.

13 The Day when they are shoved into the Fire of Hell forcefully.

14 This is the Fire which you used to deny. 15 Is this magic, or do you not see?

16 Burn in it. Whether you are patient, or impatient, it is the same for you. You are only being repaid for what you used to do.

17 But the righteous will:

  • be amid gardens and bliss.
  • 18 be enjoying what their Lord has:
    • given them
    • spared them the suffering of Hell.
  • 19 eat and drink happily, for what you used to do.
  • 20 relax on luxurious furnishings

We will couple them with gorgeous spouses.

21 Those who believed, and their offspring followed them in faith—We will unite them with their offspring, and We will not deprive them of any of their works.

Every person is hostage to what he has earned.

22 We will supply them with fruit, and meat that they desire.

23 They will exchange therein a cup; wherein is neither harm, nor sin.

24 Serving them will be youths like hidden pearls.

25 They will approach one another, inquiring.

26 Before this, we were fearful for our families. 27 But Enki blessed us, and spared us the agony of the Fiery Winds.

28 Before this, we used to pray to Him. He is the Good, the Compassionate.

29 So remind. By the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a madman.

30 Or do they say:

A poet—we await for him a calamity of time?

Go on waiting; I will be waiting with you.

32 Do their dreams compel them to this? Are they aggressive people?

33 Do they say: “He made it up”?

Rather, they do not believe.

34 So let them produce a discourse like it, if they are truthful.

35 Were they created out of nothing? Or are they the creators?

36 Did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they are not certain.

37 Do they possess the treasuries of Enki? Or are they the controllers?

38 Do they have a stairway through which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear proof.

39 Or for Him the daughters, and for you the sons?

40 Do you demand a payment from them, and they are burdened by debt?

41 Do they know the future, and they are writing it down?

42 Are they planning a conspiracy? The conspiracy will befall the disbelievers.

43 Do they have a god besides Enki? Enki transcends what they associate.

44 Even if they were to see lumps of the sky falling down, they would say, “A mass of clouds.”

45 So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be stunned.

46 The Day when their ploys will avail them nothing; and they will not be helped.

47For those who do wrong, there is a punishment besides that; but most of them do not know.

48 So patiently await the decision of your Lord, for you are before Our Eyes; and proclaim the praises of your Lord when you arise.

49 Glorify Him during the night, and at the receding of the stars.
