Abdullah Yusuf Ali Translation
1. A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall-
2. The
Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-
3. (A Penalty) from
Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
4. The angels and the spirit ascend
unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:
5.
Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment).
6. They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):
7. But We see it
(quite) near.
8. The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,
9. And the mountains will be like wool,
10. And no friend will ask after
a friend,
11. Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the
sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of
that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
12. His wife and his brother,
13. His kindred who sheltered him,
14. And all, all that is on
earth,- so it could deliver him:
15. By no means! for it would be the
Fire of Hell!-
16. Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-
17. Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the
Right).
18. And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
19. Truly
man was created very impatient;-
20. Fretful when evil touches him;
21. And niggardly when good reaches him;-
22. Not so those devoted to
Prayer;-
23. Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;
24. And
those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
25. For the (needy) who asks
and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
26. And those who
hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
27. And those who fear the
displeasure of their Lord,-
28. For their Lord's displeasure is the
opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;-
29. And those who guard their
chastity,
30. Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right
hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,
31. But those who
trespass beyond this are transgressors;-
32. And those who respect their
trusts and covenants;
33. And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
34. And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-
35. Such
will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
36. Now what is the
matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-
37. From
the right and from the left, in crowds?
38. Does every man of them long
to enter the Garden of Bliss?
39. By no means! For We have created them
out of the (base matter) they know!
40. Now I do call to witness the Lord
of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly-
41.
Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in
Our Plan).
42. So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until
they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!-
43. The
Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they
were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),-
44. Their eyes lowered in
dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they
are promised!

1. سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍ
وَاقِعٍ
2. لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌ
3. مِّنَ
ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ
4. تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ
إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
5.
فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا
6. إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًا
7.
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًا
8. يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ
9.
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ
10. وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا
11.
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ

13. وَفَصِيلَتِهِ
ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ
14. وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ
15.
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ
16. نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ
17.
تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
18. وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ
19.
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
20. إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
21.
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
22. إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
23.
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ
24. وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ
أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
25. لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
26.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
27. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ
عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
28. إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ
مَأْمُونٍ
29. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ
30.
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ
مَلُومِينَ
31. فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ
ٱلْعَادُونَ
32. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ
رَٰعُونَ
33. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ
34.
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
35. أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى
جَنَّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
36. فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ
مُهْطِعِينَ
37. عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
38.
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
39.
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
40. فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ
بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ
41. عَلَىٰٓ
أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
42.
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى
يُوعَدُونَ
43. يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا
كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
44. خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ
تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
