# Translation Ayah
1 Someone has (needlessly) demanded to experience the torment (of God), سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ
2 which will inevitably seize the disbelievers. لِّلْكَافِرينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ
3 No one can defend him against God, the Lord of the exalted positions. مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ
4 On that Day (of Judgment), long as fifty thousand years, the angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him. تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
5 (Muhammad), exercise patience with no complaints. فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا
6 They think that it (the Day of Judgment) is far away. إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا
7 but We see it to be very near. وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا
8 On the day when the heavens become like molten metal. يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاء كَالْمُهْلِ
9 and the mountains become like wool, وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ
10 even intimate friends will not inquire about their friends, وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا
11 though they may see each other. A sinner will wish that he could save himself from the torment of that day by sacrificing his children, يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ
12 his wife, his brother, وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ
13 his kinsmen who gave him refuge (from hardship) وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْويهِ
14 and all those on earth. وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ
15 By no means! For the raging flames of the fire كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى
16 will strip-off the flesh نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَى
17 and drag into it anyone who has turned away (from obeying God), تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى
18 and who accumulated wealth without spending it for a good purpose. وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى
19 Human beings are created greedy. إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
20 When they are afflicted, they complain, إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
21 but when they are fortunate, they become niggardly وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
22 except those who are steadfast إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ
23 and constant in their prayers. الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ
24 They are those who assign a certain share of their property وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
25 for the needy and the deprived, لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
26 who acknowledge the Day of Judgment, وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
27 who are afraid of the torment of their Lord, وَالَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
28 the punishment of their Lord is not something for them to feel secure of, إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ
29 who guard their carnal desires وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ
30 except from their wives and slave girls, in which case they are not to be blamed, إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
31 but whoever goes beyond this is a transgressor; فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
32 who honor their trust and promises, وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ
33 who testify to what they have witnessed, وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ
34 and (finally) those who do not miss their ritual - prayers at the prescribed times; وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
35 such people will receive due honor in Paradise. أُوْلَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
36 What is wrong with the disbelievers who roam around you (Muhammad), فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
37 left and right, in numerous groups? عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
38 Does every one of them desire to enter the bountiful Paradise? أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
39 By no means! For they know very well out of what We have created them (The human being's naturally growing from a living germ, without discipline and good deeds will not result in virtue). كَلَّا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
40 I do not need to swear by the Lord of the eastern and western regions that We have certainly all the power فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ
41 to replace them by a better people and none can challenge Our power. عَلَى أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
42 (Muhammad), leave them alone to dispute and play until they face the Day with which they have been threatened: فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
43 the Day when they rush out of their graves as if racing towards a signpost, يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
44 with their eyes cast down and covered by disgrace; the day about which they were promised. خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
