And the sea kept filled,
52:6 · At-Tur · juz 27 · page 523 · tafsir at quran.com
Lo! the doom of thy Lord will surely come to pass;
52:7 · At-Tur · juz 27 · page 523 · tafsir at quran.com

Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight,
52:17 · At-Tur · juz 27 · page 524 · tafsir at quran.com
Happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and (because) their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire.

(And it is said unto them): Eat and drink in health (as a reward) for what ye used to do,

52:37 · At-Tur · juz 27 · page 525 · tafsir at quran.com
Or have they any stairway (unto heaven) by means of which they overhear (decrees). Then let their listener produce some warrant manifest!
