Surah Al-Ma'arij

سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ ١

70:1 A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ ٢

70:2 To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ ٣

70:3 [It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent

تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ ٤

70:4 The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years

فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا ٥

70:5 So be patient with gracious patience

إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا ٦

70:6 Indeed, they see it [as] distant

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا ٧

70:7 But We see it [as] near

يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ ٨

70:8 On the Day the sky will be like murky oil

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٩

70:9 And the mountains will be like wool

وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا ١٠

70:10 And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمۡۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِي مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِئِذِۭ بِبَنِيهِ ١١

70:11 They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ١٢

70:12 And his wife and his brother

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تُـٔۡوِيهِ ١٣

70:13 And his nearest kindred who shelter him

وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ١٤

70:14 And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ١٥

70:15 No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell]

نَزَّاعَةٗ لِّلشَّوَىٰ ١٦

70:16 A remover of exteriors

تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٧

70:17 It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ ١٨

70:18 And collected [wealth] and hoarded

۞إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ١٩

70:19 Indeed, mankind was created anxious

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا ٢٠

70:20 When evil touches him, impatient

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا ٢١

70:21 And when good touches him, withholding [of it]

إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ ٢٢

70:22 Except the observers of prayer

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ ٢٣

70:23 Those who are constant in their prayer

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ٢٤

70:24 And those within whose wealth is a known right

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ٢٥

70:25 For the petitioner and the deprived

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٢٦

70:26 And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ ٢٧

70:27 And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ ٢٨

70:28 Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ ٢٩

70:29 And those who guard their private parts

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ ٣٠

70:30 Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ ٣١

70:31 But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ ٣٢

70:32 And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمۡ قَآئِمُونَ ٣٣

70:33 And those who are in their testimonies upright

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ ٣٤

70:34 And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ مُّكۡرَمُونَ ٣٥

70:35 They will be in gardens, honored

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِينَ ٣٦

70:36 So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad]

عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ٣٧

70:37 [To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups

أَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٖ ٣٨

70:38 Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٩

70:39 No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ ٤٠

70:40 So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ ٤١

70:41 To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone

فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلۡعَبُواْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ٤٢

70:42 So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised

يَوۡمَ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ سِرَاعٗا كَأَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٖ يُوفِضُونَ ٤٣

70:43 The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening

خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ ٤٤

70:44 Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised
