Sūrat aṭ-Ṭūr (, "The Mount") is the 52nd sura of the
Qur'an with 49
ayat. The surah that opens with the oath of the Divine One swearing by the Mount of Sinai, where the
Torah was revealed to
Moses. It takes its name from "the mount" (
ṭūr) mentioned in Ayah#1. The surah which addresses many of the arguments put to the Prophet by the disbelievers of
Mecca (ayah#29 ff.). The bliss that will be enjoyed by the believers is contrasted to the torments of
Hell, and the Prophet is urged to bide his time, to continue to deliver his message, and to wait with confidence for God’s judgement. God swears by, among other things,
Mount Sinai, that the Day of Judgement is inevitable.
