1 One demanding, demanded the chastisement which must befall سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ
2 The unbelievers-- there is none to avert it-- لِّلْكَافِرينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ
3 From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent. مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ
4 To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years. تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
5 Therefore endure with a goodly patience. فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا
6 Surely they think it to be far off, إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا
7 And We see it nigh. وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا
8 On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاء كَالْمُهْلِ
9 And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ
10 And friend shall not ask of friend وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا
11 (Though) they shall be made to see each other. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children, يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ
12 And his wife and his brother وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ
13 And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter, وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْويهِ
14 And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then (that) this might deliver him. وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ
15 By no means! Surely it is a flaming fire كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى
16 Dragging by the head, نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَى
17 It shall claim him who turned and fled (from truth), تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى
18 And amasses (wealth) then shuts it up. وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى
19 Surely man is created of a hasty temperament إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
20 Being greatly grieved when evil afflicts him إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
21 And niggardly when good befalls him وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
22 Except those who pray, إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ
23 Those who are constant at their prayer الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ
24 And those in whose wealth there is a fixed portion. وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
25 For him who begs and for him who is denied (good) لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
26 And those who accept the truth of the judgment day وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
27 And those who are fearful of the chastisement of their Lord-- وَالَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
28 Surely the chastisement of their Lord is (a thing) not to be felt secure of-- إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ
29 And those who guard their private parts, وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ
30 Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess-- for these surely are not to be blamed, إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
31 But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits-- فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
32 And those who are faithful to their trusts and their covenant وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ
33 And those who are upright in their testimonies, وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ
34 And those who keep a guard on their prayer, وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
35 Those shall be in gardens, honored. أُوْلَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
36 But what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten on around you, فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
37 On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties? عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
38 Does every man of them desire that he should be made to enter the garden of bliss? أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
39 By no means! Surely We have created them of what they know. كَلَّا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
40 But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are certainly able فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ
41 To bring instead (others) better than them, and We shall not be overcome. عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
42 Therefore leave them alone to go on with the false discourses and to sport until they come face to face with that day of theirs with which they are threatened; فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
43 The day on which they shall come forth from their graves in haste, as if they were hastening on to a goal, يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
44 Their eyes cast down; disgrace shall overtake them; that is the day which they were threatened with. خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
