Al-Ma‘ārij

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 1

سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ

A challenger asked for a punishment bound to come^[1]

[1] In the Hereafter. The pagans of Makkah had challenged the Prophet (ﷺ) in ridicule by asking Allah to bring upon them His punishment. See 8:32.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 2

لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ

upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 3

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ

from Allah, Lord of the pathways of ascent,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 4

تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ

by which the angels and the Spirit^[2] will ascend to Him on a Day^[3] the length of which is fifty thousand years.

[2] i.e., the angel Gabriel.
[3] The Day of Judgment will be an extremely long day.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 5

فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا

So be patient [O Prophet] with beautiful patience.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 6

إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا

Indeed, they see this [punishment] far off,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 7

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا

but We see it to be close at hand.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 8

يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ

On the Day when the sky will be like molten brass^[4]

[4] Or "murky oil."

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 9

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ

and the mountains will be like dyed wool^[5],

[5] While disintegrating.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 10

وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا

and no close friend will ask about another,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 11

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمۡۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِي مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِئِذِۭ بِبَنِيهِ

even though they will see one another. The wicked will wish he could ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by offering his children,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 12

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

and his wife and his brother,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 13

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تُـٔۡوِيهِ

and his kindred who stood by him,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 14

وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

and everyone on earth, just to save himself.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 15

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

By no means!^[6] It is a raging Flame,

[6] An emphatic denial, meaning "It will never be."

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 16

نَزَّاعَةٗ لِّلشَّوَىٰ

that will strip off the scalps^[7].

[7] Referring to the skin of the head or of the body extremities, which will be burned away by severe heat and flames.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 17

تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

It will call everyone who turned their backs and disobeyed,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 18

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ

and amassed and hoarded wealth.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 19

۞ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Indeed, man was created impatient:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 20

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا

when evil befalls him, he bewails,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 21

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا

but when good fortune comes his way, he becomes tight-fisted –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 22

إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ

except those who pray,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 23

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ

who are steadfast in their prayers;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 24

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

and who give a due share^[8] of their wealth

[8] i.e., obligatory charity; zakah.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 25

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

to the beggar and the dispossessed;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 26

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

and who firmly believe in the Day of Judgment;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 27

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ

and those who fear the punishment of their Lord –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 28

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ

for none can feel secure from their Lord’s punishment –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ

and those who guard their private parts^[9],

[9] i.e., their chastity and honor from immoralities.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 30

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ

except from their wives or bondwomen^[10] whom they own, for then they are not to be blamed.

[10] i.e., female slaves or slave-girls.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 31

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ

But whoever seeks beyond that, it is they who are the transgressors.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 32

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ

and those who fulfill their trusts and pledges;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 33

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمۡ قَآئِمُونَ

and who are upright in their testimonies;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 34

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ

and who take due care of their prayers;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 35

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ مُّكۡرَمُونَ

they will be honored in gardens^[11].

[11] Of Paradise.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 36

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِينَ

What is the matter with the disbelievers that they are rushing towards you [O Prophet]^[12],

[12] i.e., rushing to deny you.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 37

عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ

from the right and from the left, in crowds^[13]?

[13] Some pagans of Makkah gathered around the Prophet (ﷺ) mocking and opposing him, claiming that if there is in fact a Hereafter, they would enter Paradise before the believers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 38

أَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٖ

Does everyone of them aspire to enter a garden of bliss?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 39

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ

By no means! We have created them from what they know^[14].

[14] i.e., from a disdained fluid.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 40

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ

I swear by the Lord of the sunrises and sunsets^[15] that We are surely Capable

[15] i.e., Allah is the One Who determines the daily points of sunrise and sunset according to each season by the rotation of the earth around its axis.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 41

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

to replace them with others better than them, and none can escape Our decree.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 42

فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوضُواْ وَيَلۡعَبُواْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُواْ يَوۡمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ

So leave them to engage in their falsehood and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 43

يَوۡمَ يَخۡرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَجۡدَاثِ سِرَاعٗا كَأَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٖ يُوفِضُونَ

the Day when they will rush out of their graves as if they are racing towards an idol^[16],

[16] i.e., just as they used to race towards a newly appointed idol, to be among the first of its worshipers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 44

خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمُ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

with their eyes downcast and overwhelmed with disgrace. That is the Day that they were promised.
