1 A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall- سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ
2 The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,- لِّلْكَافِرينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ
3 (A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent. مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ
4 The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years: تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
5 Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment). فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا
6 They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event): إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا
7 But We see it (quite) near. وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا
8 The Day that the sky will be like molten brass, يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاء كَالْمُهْلِ
9 And the mountains will be like wool, وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ
10 And no friend will ask after a friend, وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا
11 Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner´s desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children, يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ
12 His wife and his brother, وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ
13 His kindred who sheltered him, وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْويهِ
14 And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him: وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ
15 By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!- كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى
16 Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!- نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَى
17 Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right). تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى
18 And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)! وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى
19 Truly man was created very impatient;- إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
20 Fretful when evil touches him; إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
21 And niggardly when good reaches him;- وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
22 Not so those devoted to Prayer;- إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ
23 Those who remain steadfast to their prayer; الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ
24 And those in whose wealth is a recognised right. وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
25 For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking); لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
26 And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment; وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
27 And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,- وَالَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
28 For their Lord´s displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;- إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ
29 And those who guard their chastity, وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ
30 Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed, إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
31 But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;- فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
32 And those who respect their trusts and covenants; وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ
33 And those who stand firm in their testimonies; وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ
34 And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;- وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
35 Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss). أُوْلَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
36 Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee- فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
37 From the right and from the left, in crowds? عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
38 Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss? أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
39 By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know! كَلَّا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
40 Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly- فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ
41 Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan). عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
42 So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!- فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
43 The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),- يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
44 Their eyes lowered in dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised! خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
