Al-Ma'aarij

Sa ala saaa'ilum bi'azaa binw-waaqi'

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

Lilkaafireen laisa lahoo daafi'

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

Minal laahi zil ma'aarij

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

Ta'rujul malaaa'ikatu war Roohu ilaihi fee yawmin kaana miqdaaruhoo khamseena alfa sanah

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

Fasbir ssabran jameelaa

Inaahum yarawnahoo ba'eedaa

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

Wa naraahu qareebaa

But We see it [as] near.

Yawma takoonus samaaa'u kalmuhl

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

Wa takoonul jibaalu kal'ihn

And the mountains will be like wool,

Wa laa yas'alu hameemun hameemaa

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

Yubassaroonahum; ya waddul mujrimu law yaftadee min 'azaabi yawma'izim bibaneeh

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

Wa saahibatihee wa akheeh

And his wife and his brother

Wa faseelathil latee tu'weeh

And his nearest kindred who shelter him

Wa man fil ardi jamee'an summa yunjeeh

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

Kallaa innahaa lazaa

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

A remover of exteriors.

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

W jama'a fa aw'aa

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

Innal insaana khuliqa haloo'aa

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

Izaa massahush sharru jazoo'aa

When evil touches him, impatient,

Wa izaa massahul khairu manoo'aa

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

Illal musalleen

Except the observers of prayer -

Allazeena hum 'alaa Salaatihim daaa'imoon

Those who are constant in their prayer

Wallazeena feee amwaalihim haqqum ma'loom

And those within whose wealth is a known right

Lissaaa 'ili walmahroom

For the petitioner and the deprived -

Wallazeena yusaddiqoona bi yawmid Deen

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

Wallazeena hum min 'azaabi Rabbihim mushfiqoon

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

Inna 'azaaba Rabbihim ghairu maamoon

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

Wallazeena hum lifuroo jihim haafizoon

And those who guard their private parts

Illaa 'alaaa azwaajihim aw maa malakat aymaanuhum fainnahum ghairu maloomeen

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

Famanib taghaa waraaa'a zaalika fa ulaaa'ika humul 'aadoon

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

Wallazeena hum li amaa naatihim wa 'ahdihim raa'oon

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

Wallazeena hum bishahaadaatihim qaaa'imoon

And those who are in their testimonies upright

Wallazeena hum 'alaa salaatihim yuhaafizoon

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

Ulaaa'ika fee jannaatim mukramoon

They will be in gardens, honored.

Famaa lil lazeena kafaroo qibalaka muhti'een

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

'Anil yameeni wa 'anish shimaali 'izeen

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

Ayatma'u kullum ri'im minhum anyyudkhala jannata Na'eem

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

Kallaaa innaa khalaq nahum mimmaa ya'lamoon

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

Falaaa uqsimu bi Rabbil mashaariqi wal maghaaribi innaa laqaadiroon

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

'Alaaa an nubaddila khairam minhum wa maa Nahnu bimasbooqeen

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

Fazarhum yakhoodoo wa yal'aboo hattaa yulaaqoo yaw mahumul lazee yoo'adoon

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

Yawma yakhrujoona minal ajdaasi siraa'an ka anna hum ilaa nusubiny yoofidoon

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