- سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ1
A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen
- لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ2
To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer
- مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ3
[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent
- تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ4
The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years
- فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا5
So be patient with gracious patience
- إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا6
Indeed, they see it [as] distant
- وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا7
But We see it [as] near
- يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ8
On the Day the sky will be like murky oil
- وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ9
And the mountains will be like wool
- وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا10
And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend
- يُبَصَّرُونَهُمۡۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِي مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِئِذِۭ بِبَنِيهِ11
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 وَأَخِيهِ12
And his wife and his brother
- وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تُـٔۡوِيهِ13
And his nearest kindred who shelter him
- وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ14
And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him
- كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ15
No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell]
- نَزَّاعَةٗ لِّلشَّوَىٰ16
A remover of exteriors
- تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ17
It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]
- وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ18
And collected [wealth] and hoarded
- ۞إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا19
Indeed, mankind was created anxious
- إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا20
When evil touches him, impatient
- وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا21
And when good touches him, withholding [of it]
- إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ22
Except the observers of prayer
- ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ23
Those who are constant in their prayer
- وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ24
And those within whose wealth is a known right
- لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ25
For the petitioner and the deprived
- وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ26
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense
- وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ27
And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord
- إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ28
Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe
- وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ29
And those who guard their private parts
- إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ30
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed
- فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ31
But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors
- وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ32
And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
- وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمۡ قَآئِمُونَ33
And those who are in their testimonies upright
- وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ34
And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer
- أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ مُّكۡرَمُونَ35
They will be in gardens, honored
- فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِينَ36
So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad]
- عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ37
[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups
- أَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٖ38
Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure
- كَلَّآۖ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ39
No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know
- فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ40
So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
- عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ41
To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone
- فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلۡعَبُواْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ42
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 يُوفِضُونَ43
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 يُوعَدُونَ44
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised
