١
سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ
٢
لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ
٣
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ
٤
تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ
One of the idolaters asked for a punishment that will surely fall on the disbelievers; nothing can stop it, from Allah, the Owner of the ways of ascent. The angels and Gabriel rise up to Him in a Day as long as fifty thousand years, yet it is light for the believer.
٥
فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا
٦
إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا
٧
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا
So be patient, O Messenger, with a beautiful patience that does not complain. They see the Day of Resurrection as far away, but We see it as near.
٨
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ
٩
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ
١٠
وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا
On that Day the sky will be like murky oil, and the mountains like fluffed-up coloured wool, and no close friend will ask about his friend, because everyone is busy with himself.
١١
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ
١٢
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ
١٣
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ
١٤
وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ
They will see one another, yet no one can help anyone. The criminal will wish he could ransom himself from the punishment with his children, his wife, his brother, the family that sheltered him, and everyone on earth, and then be saved.
١٥
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ
١٦
نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ
١٧
تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
١٨
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ
No! It is a blazing Fire that strips away the skin of the head with its heat. It calls those who turned away from the truth and left obedience, and gathered wealth and locked it away without giving Allah's right from it.
١٩
۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
٢٠
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا
٢١
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
Man was created anxious and impatient: when something bad touches him he panics, and when something good touches him he keeps it from others.
٢٢
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
٢٣
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ
٢٤
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ
٢٥
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
Except those who pray, who keep up their prayer always, and those in whose wealth there is a known share for the poor who ask and for the deprived who do not ask.
٢٦
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
٢٧
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
٢٨
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ
And those who believe in the Day of Judgement and get ready for it with good deeds, and those who fear their Lord's punishment; no one should feel safe from their Lord's punishment.
٢٩
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ
٣٠
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
٣١
فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ
٣٢
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
٣٣
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ
٣٤
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
٣٥
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ
And those who guard themselves from what is forbidden, who keep their trusts and their promises, who give their testimony truthfully, and who guard their prayer: they will be honoured in gardens.
٣٦
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
٣٧
عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
٣٨
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ
٣٩
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
٤٠
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ
٤١
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
What is wrong with the disbelievers, hurrying around you in groups on your right and left? Does each of them hope to enter Paradise? No! We created them from what they know. I swear by the Lord of the easts and wests that We can replace them with people better than them.
٤٢
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
٤٣
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ
٤٤
خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
So leave them to chatter in falsehood and play until they meet their promised Day: the Day they come out of the graves hurrying, eyes lowered, covered in humiliation. That is the Day they were promised.
