سورة الطور، الآية ٤٤
وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُومٌ ٤٤
wa-in yaraw kis'fan mina l-samāi sāqiṭan yaqūlū saḥābun markūmun
And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling,1559 they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."
[1559] Marking the onset of Allāh's punishment, as they had requested.
Verse 44 of Surah At-Tur (52:44), a Meccan surah, is in juz 27, on page 525 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.
80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
And if they see a piece of the sky falling, they will say: “This is a cloud which is piled up on each other as usual”. So they do not take heed or believe.
If they were to see pieces of the sky falling down15, they would still say, “[This is only] a mass of clouds.”
[15] As a sign of the punishment that they requested.
And if they were to see a piece of the heaven falling down, they would say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"
And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds.
Were they to see a piece of the sky falling (on them), they would (only) say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"
And if they should see a portion of the heaven coming down, they would say: Piled up clouds.
And in case they saw a dark lump falling down from the heaven, they would say, "Accumulated clouds!"
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ …
And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend, …
وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ دُونَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment that perhaps they will return [i.e., repent].
وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِۦ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا
And from [part of] the night, pray with it [i.e., recitation of the Qur’ān] as additional [worship] for you; it is expected that your Lord will resurrect you to a praised station.
