In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
a caller supplicated about a punishment to fall on (1) | | سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ ﴿1﴾ |
the unbelievers which none can prevent. (2) | | لِّلْكَافِرينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ ﴿2﴾ |
(a punishment) from allah, the owner of the elevated passages. (3) | | مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ ﴿3﴾ |
to him the angels and the spirit (gabriel) ascend in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years. (4) | | تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ﴿4﴾ |
therefore be patient, with a beautiful patience; (5) | | فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا ﴿5﴾ |
they see it as being far off; (6) | | إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا ﴿6﴾ |
but we see it near. (7) | | وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا ﴿7﴾ |
on that day the heaven shall become like molten copper, (8) | | يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاء كَالْمُهْلِ ﴿8﴾ |
and the mountains shall be like puffs of wool. (9) | | وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ ﴿9﴾ |
no loyal friend will ask another loyal friend (10) | | وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا ﴿10﴾ |
though they are in sight of each other. to ransom himself from the punishment of that day, the sinner will wish that he might even ransom himself by his sons, (11) | | يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ ﴿11﴾ |
his companion (wife), his brother, (12) | | وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ ﴿12﴾ |
the kinsmen who gave him shelter, (13) | | وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْويهِ ﴿13﴾ |
and whosoever is in the earth, altogether, so that it might save him. (14) | | وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ﴿14﴾ |
no, in truth, it is a furnace! (15) | | كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى ﴿15﴾ |
it snatches away by the scalps, (16) | | نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَى ﴿16﴾ |
and it shall call him who withdrew and turned his back (17) | | تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿17﴾ |
and amassed (riches) and hoarded. (18) | | وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى ﴿18﴾ |
indeed, the human was created grudging and impatient. (19) | | إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ﴿19﴾ |
when evil comes upon him he is impatient; (20) | | إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا ﴿20﴾ |
but when good comes upon him, he is grudging (21) | | وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ﴿21﴾ |
except those that pray (22) | | إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿22﴾ |
who are constant in prayer; (23) | | الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ ﴿23﴾ |
who, from their wealth is a known right (24) | | وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ ﴿24﴾ |
for the impoverished nonrequester and the requester, (25) | | لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ ﴿25﴾ |
who confirm the day of reckoning (26) | | وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴿26﴾ |
and go in fear of the punishment of their lord, (27) | | وَالَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ﴿27﴾ |
for none is secure from the punishment of their lord, (28) | | إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ ﴿28﴾ |
who guard their privates (29) | | وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ﴿29﴾ |
except from their wives and what their right hands own, for these they are not blameworthy. (30) | | إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ﴿30﴾ |
but whosoever seeks beyond that, they are the transgressors. (31) | | فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ ﴿31﴾ |
(those) who keep their trusts and their covenant, (32) | | وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ ﴿32﴾ |
and standby their witnessing, (33) | | وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ ﴿33﴾ |
and who are constant in their prayers. (34) | | وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ﴿34﴾ |
those are highly honored in the gardens. (35) | | أُوْلَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿35﴾ |
but what is the matter with the unbelievers, that they strain their glances continuously towards them, (36) | | فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ﴿36﴾ |
on the right and on the left in groups? (37) | | عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ﴿37﴾ |
what, is every one of them eager to be admitted to the garden of bliss? (38) | | أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ ﴿38﴾ |
not at all, for we have created them of what they know. (39) | | كَلَّا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿39﴾ |
no, i swear by the lord of the easts and the wests that we have the ability (40) | | فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ ﴿40﴾ |
to exchange them with others better than they; nothing can outstrip us! (41) | | عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿41﴾ |
so leave them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter the day which they are promised; (42) | | فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ﴿42﴾ |
the day when they shall rush from their graves, as if they were hurrying to a raised flag, (43) | | يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ ﴿43﴾ |
their eyes are humbled and they are covered with humiliation. such is the day that they were promised. (44) | | خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ﴿44﴾ |
