70. Al-Ma'aarij

سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ ۝١

سَاَلَ سَآٮِٕلٌ ۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَّاقِعٍۙ‏ ۝١

70:1 A demanding person has asked for the punishment that is going to befall

لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌ ۝٢

لِّلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ لَيۡسَ لَهٗ دَافِعٌ ۙ‏ ۝٢

70:2 the disbelievers; there is no one to avert it,

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ ۝٣

مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ذِى الۡمَعَارِجِؕ‏ ۝٣

70:3 (and it will come) from Allah, the Lord of the stairways,

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ۝٤

تَعۡرُجُ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَ الرُّوۡحُ اِلَيۡهِ فِىۡ يَوۡمٍ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهٗ خَمۡسِيۡنَ اَلۡفَ سَنَةٍ​ۚ‏ ۝٤

70:4 to whom ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the length of which is fifty thousand years.

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا ۝٥

فَاصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرًا جَمِيۡلًا‏ ۝٥

70:5 So, observe patience, a good patience.

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًا ۝٦

اِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهٗ بَعِيۡدًا ۙ‏ ۝٦

70:6 They see it far off,

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًا ۝٧

وَّنَرٰٮهُ قَرِيۡبًا ؕ‏ ۝٧

70:7 and We see it near.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ ۝٨

يَوۡمَ تَكُوۡنُ السَّمَآءُ كَالۡمُهۡلِۙ‏ ۝٨

70:8 (This punishment will befall) on the Day when the sky will be like dregs of oil,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ۝٩

وَتَكُوۡنُ الۡجِبَالُ كَالۡعِهۡنِۙ‏ ۝٩

70:9 and the mountains will be like dyed wool,

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا ۝١٠

وَلَا يَسۡـَٔـلُ حَمِيۡمٌ حَمِيۡمًا ۖۚ‏ ۝١٠

70:10 and no friend will ask about any friend,

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ ۝١١

يُّبَصَّرُوۡنَهُمۡ​ؕ يَوَدُّ الۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِىۡ مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِٮِٕذٍۢ بِبَنِيۡهِۙ‏ ۝١١

70:11 (though) they will be made to see each other. A guilty person will desire that he may be able to ransom himself from the torment of that day even by his sons,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ۝١٢

وَ صَاحِبَتِهٖ وَاَخِيۡهِۙ‏ ۝١٢

70:12 and his wife and his brother,

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ ۝١٣

وَفَصِيۡلَتِهِ الَّتِىۡ تُــْٔوِيۡهِۙ‏ ۝١٣

70:13 and his kindred that sheltered him,

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ۝١٤

وَمَنۡ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ جَمِيۡعًا ۙ ثُمَّ يُنۡجِيۡهِۙ‏ ۝١٤

70:14 and all those on earth, then he may redeem himself.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ۝١٥

كَلَّا ؕ اِنَّهَا لَظٰىۙ‏ ۝١٥

70:15 By no means! It is the flaming fire

نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ ۝١٦

نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوٰى​ ۖ​ۚ‏ ۝١٦

70:16 that will pull out the skin of the scalp.

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝١٧

تَدۡعُوۡا مَنۡ اَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلّٰىۙ‏ ۝١٧

70:17 It will call him who had turned his back and fled away (from the truth)

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ ۝١٨

وَجَمَعَ فَاَوۡعٰى‏ ۝١٨

70:18 and accumulated (wealth) and hoarded (it).

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ۝١٩

اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوۡعًا ۙ‏ ۝١٩

70:19 Indeed man is created weak in courage,

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا ۝٢٠

اِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوۡعًا ۙ‏ ۝٢٠

70:20 very upset when touched by evil,

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ۝٢١

وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوۡعًا ۙ‏ ۝٢١

70:21 and very niggard when visited by good (fortune),

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝٢٢

اِلَّا الۡمُصَلِّيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٢٢

70:22 except the performers of Salāh,

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ ۝٢٣

الَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآٮِٕمُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٢٣

70:23 who are regular in their Salāh,

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ ۝٢٤

وَالَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡۤ اَمۡوَالِهِمۡ حَقٌّ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌۙ‏ ۝٢٤

70:24 and those in whose riches there is a specified right

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ۝٢٥

لِّلسَّآٮِٕلِ وَالۡمَحۡرُوۡمِۙ‏ ۝٢٥

70:25 for the one who asks and the one who is deprived,

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٦

وَالَّذِيۡنَ يُصَدِّقُوۡنَ بِيَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِۙ‏ ۝٢٦

70:26 and those who believe in the Day of Judgment as true,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ۝٢٧

وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمۡ مُّشۡفِقُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٧

70:27 and those who are fearful of the torment of their Lord-

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ ۝٢٨

اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَاۡمُوۡنٍ‏ ۝٢٨

70:28 -Indeed the torment of their Lord is not something to be fearless from.-

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ ۝٢٩

وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوۡجِهِمۡ حٰفِظُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٢٩

70:29 and those who guard their private parts,

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ۝٣٠

اِلَّا عَلٰٓى اَزۡوَاجِهِمۡ اَوۡ مَا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُهُمۡ فَاِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُوۡمِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝٣٠

70:30 except from their wives and those (slave-girls) owned by their hands,- because they are not to be blamed,

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ ۝٣١

فَمَنِ ابۡتَغٰى وَرَآءَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡعٰدُوۡنَ​ۚ‏ ۝٣١

70:31 but the one who seeks (sexual gratification) beyond that, then such people are the transgressors,-

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ ۝٣٢

وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رٰعُوۡنَ ۙ‏ ۝٣٢

70:32 and those who are careful about their trusts and covenants,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ ۝٣٣

وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ بِشَهٰدٰتِهِمۡ قَآٮِٕمُوۡنَ ۙ‏ ۝٣٣

70:33 and those who are upright in their testimonies,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ۝٣٤

وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُوۡنَؕ‏ ۝٣٤

70:34 and those who take due care of their Salāh .

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝٣٥

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ فِىۡ جَنّٰتٍ مُّكۡرَمُوۡنَؕ‏ ۝٣٥

70:35 Those will be honoured in gardens (of Jannah ).

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ۝٣٦

فَمَالِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٣٦

70:36 So what has happened to those who disbelieve that they are rushing towards you

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ۝٣٧

عَنِ الۡيَمِيۡنِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِيۡنَ‏ ۝٣٧

70:37 from the right and from the left, in groups?

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ ۝٣٨

اَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ امۡرِىءٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ اَنۡ يُّدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيۡمٍۙ‏  ۝٣٨

70:38 Does every one of them aspire to be admitted to the garden of bliss?

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝٣٩

كَلَّا ؕ اِنَّا خَلَقۡنٰهُمۡ مِّمَّا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏ ۝٣٩

70:39 By no means! We have created them from what they know.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ ۝٤٠

فَلَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِرَبِّ الۡمَشٰرِقِ وَالۡمَغٰرِبِ اِنَّا لَقٰدِرُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٠

70:40 So, I swear by the Lord of the points of sunrise and those of sunset, We are powerful

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ۝٤١

عَلٰٓى اَنۡ نُّبَدِّلَ خَيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡۙ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمَسۡبُوۡقِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤١

70:41 to bring those better than them in their place, and We are not to be frustrated.

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٢

فَذَرۡهُمۡ يَخُوۡضُوۡا وَيَلۡعَبُوۡا حَتّٰى يُلٰقُوۡا يَوۡمَهُمُ الَّذِىۡ يُوۡعَدُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٢

70:42 So, leave them involved in pastime and play until they encounter their Day, which they are promised,

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ ۝٤٣

يَوۡمَ يَخۡرُجُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡاَجۡدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَاَنَّهُمۡ اِلٰى نُصُبٍ يُّوۡفِضُوۡنَۙ‏  ۝٤٣

70:43 the Day they will come out of the graves quickly, as if they were rushing toward idols,

خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٤

خَاشِعَةً اَبۡصَارُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٌ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الۡيَوۡمُ الَّذِىۡ كَانُوۡا يُوۡعَدُوۡنَ‏ ۝٤٤

70:44 with their eyes downcast, enveloped by ignominy. That is the Day, which they were being promised.
