سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ (1)
A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall |
لِّلْكَافِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ (2)
Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert |
مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ (3)
From Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent |
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ (4)
The angels and the Ruh ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years |
فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا (5)
So be patient, with a good patience |
إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا (6)
Verily, they see it (the torment) afar off |
وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا (7)
But We see it near |
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاءُ كَالْمُهْلِ (8)
The Day that the sky will be like the Al-Muhl |
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ (9)
And the mountains will be like `Ihn |
وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا (10)
And no friend will ask a friend |
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ (11)
Though they shall be made to see one another, the criminal would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children |
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ (12)
And his wife and his brother |
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ (13)
And his Fasilah who sheltered him |
وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ (14)
And all that are in the earth, so that it might save him |
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ (15)
By no means! Verily, it will be the fire of Hell |
نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ (16)
Nazza`ah the Shawa |
تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ (17)
Calling (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces |
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰ (18)
And collect (wealth) and hide it (from spending it in the cause of Allah) |
۞ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا (19)
Verily, man was created very impatient |
إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا (20)
Apprehensive when evil touches him |
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا (21)
And suppressive when good touches him |
إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ (22)
Except those who are devoted to Salah |
الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ (23)
Those who with their Salah are Da'imun |
وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ (24)
And those in whose wealth there is a recognized right |
لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ (25)
For the one who asks, and for the deprived |
وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ (26)
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense |
وَالَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ (27)
And those who fear the torment of their Lord |
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ (28)
Verily, the torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure |
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ (29)
And those who guard their private part (chastity) |
إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ (30)
Except from their wives or their right hand possessions -- for (then) they are not blameworthy |
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ (31)
But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers |
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ (32)
And those who keep their trusts and covenants |
وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ (33)
And those who stand firm in their testimonies |
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ (34)
And those who are with their Salah, Yuhafizun |
أُولَٰئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ (35)
Such shall dwell in the Gardens, honored |
فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ (36)
So, what is the matter with those disbelievers, before you Muhti`in |
عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ (37)
On the right and on the left, `Izin |
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ (38)
Does every man of them hope to enter the Paradise of Delight |
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ (39)
But no! Verily, We have created them out of that which they know |
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ (40)
But no! I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that surely We are Able |
عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ (41)
To replace them by (others) better than them; and We are not to be outrun |
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ (42)
So, leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they meet their Day which they are promised |
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ (43)
The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a Nusub |
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ (44)
With their eyes lowered in fear and humility, ignominy covering them (all over)! That is the Day which they were promised |
