Al-Ma‘ārij

آیت: 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.

آیت: 2

لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ

upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,

آیت: 3

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ

from Allah, Lord of the pathways of ascent,

آیت: 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.

آیت: 5

فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا

So be patient [O Prophet] with beautiful patience.

آیت: 6

إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا

Indeed, they see this [punishment] far off,

آیت: 7

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا

but We see it to be close at hand.

آیت: 8

يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ

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

[4] Or "murky oil."

آیت: 9

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ

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

[5] While disintegrating.

آیت: 10

وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا

and no close friend will ask about another,

آیت: 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,

آیت: 12

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

and his wife and his brother,

آیت: 13

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تُـٔۡوِيهِ

and his kindred who stood by him,

آیت: 14

وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

and everyone on earth, just to save himself.

آیت: 15

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

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

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

آیت: 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.

آیت: 17

تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

It will call everyone who turned their backs and disobeyed,

آیت: 18

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ

and amassed and hoarded wealth.

آیت: 19

۞ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Indeed, man was created impatient:

آیت: 20

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا

when evil befalls him, he bewails,

آیت: 21

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا

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

آیت: 22

إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ

except those who pray,

آیت: 23

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ

who are steadfast in their prayers;

آیت: 24

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

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

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

آیت: 25

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

to the beggar and the dispossessed;

آیت: 26

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

and who firmly believe in the Day of Judgment;

آیت: 27

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ

and those who fear the punishment of their Lord –

آیت: 28

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ

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

آیت: 29

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ

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

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

آیت: 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.

آیت: 31

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ

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

آیت: 32

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ

and those who fulfill their trusts and pledges;

آیت: 33

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمۡ قَآئِمُونَ

and who are upright in their testimonies;

آیت: 34

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ

and who take due care of their prayers;

آیت: 35

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ مُّكۡرَمُونَ

they will be honored in gardens^[11].

[11] Of Paradise.

آیت: 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.

آیت: 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.

آیت: 38

أَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٖ

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

آیت: 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.

آیت: 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.

آیت: 41

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوقِينَ

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

آیت: 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;

آیت: 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.

آیت: 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.
