Surah Al-Ma'arij worksheet for kids

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Man was created anxious and impatient: when something bad touches him he panics, and when something good touches him he keeps it from others.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
