Surah At-Tur

Surah 52 · The Mount · 49 verses · meccan

The Mount — at-Tur, Mount Sinai, sworn by in the first verse.

The story

Allah tells the Prophet ﷺ here: be patient, because you are right in front of My eyes. Allah is always watching over the people He loves.

How it unfolds

  1. AYAH 1-16

    The oaths

    The mountain, the Book, the House, the sky, the sea — and a punishment with no repelling.

  2. AYAH 17-28

    Families reunited

    The God-conscious in gardens, their offspring joined to them, remembering how they used to fear.

  3. AYAH 29-49

    The unanswerable questions

    Every accusation turned back as a question — and "you are in Our eyes."

Verses to carry

  • 52:48"Be patient for the decision of your Lord, for indeed you are in Our eyes."
  • 52:35"Or were they created by nothing, or are they the creators?"
  • 52:21Families joined together in Paradise, with nothing deducted from anyone's deeds.

Remember this

When you are being patient about something hard, Allah is watching you do it.

Talk about it

How does it feel to know Allah sees you even when nobody else does?
