بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ |  | In the name of God, the Almighty,1 the Merciful.
سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ |  | 702 1 A petitioner1 asked about a punishment to come
لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌ |  | 2 To the false claimers of guidance1 — there is none to avert it —
مِّنَ ٱللَّـهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ |  | 3 From God, Owner of the Means of Ascent:1 —
تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ |  | 4 The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years,
فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا |  | 5 So be thou patient with comely patience.1
إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًا |  | 6 They see it as far off,
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًا |  | 7 But We see it as near: —
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ |  | 8 The day the sky will be like molten brass,1
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ |  | 9 And the mountains like wool,1
وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا |  | 10 And no loyal friend will ask of a loyal friend.
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ |  | 11 They will be given sight of them:1 — the lawbreaker will wish that should he be ransomed from the punishment of that day by his sons,
وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ |  | 12 And his consort, and his brother,
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ |  | 13 And his kinsmen who sheltered him,
وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ |  | 14 And whoso is in the earth all together — then might it deliver him.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ |  | 15 No, indeed!1 It is a blazing fire,
نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ |  | 16 Removing the scalp,
تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ |  | 17 Calling him who turned and went away
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ |  | 18 And gathered and hoarded.
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا |  | 19 Man was created anxious
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا |  | 20 — When evil touches him, impatient,1
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا |  | 21 And when good touches him, withholding —
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ |  | 22 Save the performers of duty:1
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ |  | 23 Those who are constant in their duty,1
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ |  | 24 And those in whose wealth is a due1 known2
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ |  | 25 For the petitioner1 and the one deprived,
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ |  | 26 And are those who confirm the Day of Judgment,1
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ |  | 27 And are those who, of the punishment of their Lord, are in dread,
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ |  | 28 (The punishment of their Lord is not that from which there is safety)
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ |  | 29 And are those who preserve their chastity1
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ |  | 30 Save with their wives, or what their right hands possess1 — for then are they not blameworthy,
فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ |  | 31 (But whoso seeks beyond that: it is they who are the transgressors)
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ |  | 32 And are those who are to their trusts and their covenant attentive,
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ |  | 33 And are those who, in their witness, are upright,
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ |  | 34 And are those who preserve their duty:1
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ |  | 35 Those are in gardens, honoured.
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ |  | 36 Then what ails those who ignore warning1 that they, before thee, are straining forward
عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ |  | 37 On the right, and on the left, in separate groups?1
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ |  | 38 Does every man among them hope to be made to enter a garden of bliss?
كَلَّآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ |  | 39 No, indeed!1 We have created them from what they know.
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ |  | 40 Then do I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are able
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ |  | 41 To exchange them for better than they; and We will not be outdone.1
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ |  | 42 So leave thou them to discourse vainly1 and play until they meet their day which they are promised:
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ |  | 43 The day they will come forth from the graves in haste, as though towards an idol,1 running,
خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ |  | 44 Their eyes humbled,1 humiliation covering them. That is the day which they are promised.
