1 أَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ An asker asked for a punishment sure to befall
2 لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌ —which none can avert from the faithless —
3 مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ from Allah, Lord of the lofty stations.
4 تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose span is fifty thousand years.
5 فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا So be patient, with a patience that is graceful.
6 إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًا Indeed they see it to be far off,
7 وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًا and We see it to be near.
8 يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ The day when the sky will be like molten copper,
9 وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ and the mountains like [tufts of] dyed wool,
10 وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا and no friend will inquire about [the welfare of his] friend,
11 يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ [though] they will be placed within each other’s sight. The guilty one will wish he could ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the price of his children,
12 وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ his spouse and his brother,
13 وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ his kin, which had sheltered him
14 وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ and all those who are upon the earth, if that might deliver him.
15 كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ Never! Indeed, it is a blazing fire,
16 نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ which strips away the scalp.
17 تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ It invites him, who has turned back [from the truth] and forsaken [it],
18 وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ amassing [wealth] and hoarding [it].
19 إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا Indeed man has been created covetous:
20 إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا anxious when an ill befalls him
21 وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا and grudging [charity] when good comes his way
22 إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ —[all are such] except the prayerful,
23 ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ those who persevere in their prayers
24 وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ and there is a known share in whose wealth
25 لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ for the beggar and the deprived,
26 وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ and who affirm the Day of Retribution,
27 وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ and those who are apprehensive of the punishment of their Lord
28 إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ (there is indeed no security from the punishment of their Lord)
29 وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ and those who guard their private parts
30 إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ (apart from their spouses and their slave women, for then they are not blameworthy;
31 فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ but whoever seeks beyond that—it is they who are the transgressors)
32 وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ and those who keep their trusts and covenants,
33 وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ and those who are observant of their testimonies,
34 وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ and those who are watchful of their prayers.
35 أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ They will be in gardens, held in honour.
36 فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ What is the matter with the faithless that they scramble toward you,
37 عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ from left and right, in groups?
38 أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ Does each man among them hope to enter the garden of bliss?
39 كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ Never! Indeed, We created them from what they know.
40 فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ So I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that We are able
41 عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ to replace them with [others] better than them and We are not to be outmaneuvered.
42 فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ So leave them to gossip and play till they encounter the day they are promised:
43 يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ the day when they emerge from graves, hastening, as if racing toward a target,
44 خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ with a humbled look [in their eyes], overcast by abasement. That is the day they had been promised.
