Surah Al-Ma'aarij — المعارج

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1سَأَلَ سَاۤئِلُۢ بِعَذَابࣲ وَاقِعࣲ

   A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

2. 2لِّلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعࣱ

   To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

3. 3مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِی ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ

   [It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent.

4. 4تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِی يَوۡمࣲ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةࣲ

   The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

5. 5فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرࣰا جَمِيلًا

   So be patient with gracious patience.

6. 6إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدࣰا

   Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

7. 7وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبࣰا

   But We see it [as] near.

8. 8يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ

   On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

9. 9وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ

   And the mountains will be like wool,

10. 10وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمࣰا

    And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

11. 11يُبَصَّرُونَهُمۡۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِی مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِئِذِۭ بِبَنِيهِ

    They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children

12. 12وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

    And his wife and his brother

13. 13وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِی تُـٔۡوِيهِ

    And his nearest kindred who shelter him

14. 14وَمَن فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعࣰا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

    And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

15. 15كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

    No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

16. 16نَزَّاعَةࣰ لِّلشَّوَىٰ

    A remover of exteriors.

17. 17تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

    It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

18. 18وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰۤ

    And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

19. 19إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

    Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

20. 20إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعࣰا

    When evil touches him, impatient,

21. 21وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا

    And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

22. 22إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ

    Except the observers of prayer -

23. 23ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَاۤئِمُونَ

    Those who are constant in their prayer

24. 24وَٱلَّذِينَ فِیۤ أَمۡوَ ٰلِهِمۡ حَقࣱّ مَّعۡلُومࣱ

    And those within whose wealth is a known right

25. 25لِّلسَّاۤئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

    For the petitioner and the deprived -

26. 26وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

    And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

27. 27وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ

    And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

28. 28إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونࣲ

    Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

29. 29وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَـٰفِظُونَ

    And those who guard their private parts

30. 30إِلَّا عَلَىٰۤ أَزۡوَ ٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَـٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ

    Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

31. 31فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَاۤءَ ذَ ٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰۤئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ

    But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

32. 32وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَ ٰعُونَ

    And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

33. 33وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَ ٰتِهِمۡ قَاۤئِمُونَ

    And those who are in their testimonies upright

34. 34وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ

    And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

35. 35أُوْلَـٰۤئِكَ فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ مُّكۡرَمُونَ

    They will be in gardens, honored.

36. 36فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِينَ

    So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

37. 37عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ

    [To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

38. 38أَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِىࣲٕ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمࣲ

    Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

39. 39كَلَّاۤۖ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ

    No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

40. 40فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ

    So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

41. 41عَلَىٰۤ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيۡرࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

    To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

42. 42فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلۡعَبُواْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِی يُوعَدُونَ

    So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

43. 43يَوۡمَ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ سِرَاعࣰا كَأَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ نُصُبࣲ يُوفِضُونَ

    The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

44. 44خَـٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَـٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةࣱۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلَّذِی كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

    Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
