To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent.

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ

Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni
And the mountains will be like wool,
وتكون الجبال كالعهن
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ
Wala yasalu hameemun hameeman
And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,
ولا يسأل حميم حميما
وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا
Yubassaroonahum yawaddu almujrimu law yaftadee min AAathabi yawmiithin bibaneehi
They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children
يبصرونهم ۚ يود المجرم لو يفتدي من عذاب يومئذ ببنيه
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ

A remover of exteriors.
نزاعة للشوى
نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]
تدعو من أدبر وتولى
تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
WajamaAAa faawAAa
And collected [wealth] and hoarded.
وجمع فأوعى
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ
Inna alinsana khuliqa halooAAan
Indeed, mankind was created anxious:
۞ إن الإنسان خلق هلوعا
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
Itha massahu alshsharru jazooAAan
When evil touches him, impatient,
إذا مسه الشر جزوعا
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
Waitha massahu alkhayru manooAAan
And when good touches him, withholding [of it],
وإذا مسه الخير منوعا
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
Illa almusalleena
Except the observers of prayer -
إلا المصلين
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
Allatheena hum AAala salatihim daimoona
Those who are constant in their prayer
الذين هم على صلاتهم دائمون
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ
Waallatheena fee amwalihim haqqun maAAloomun
And those within whose wealth is a known right

For the petitioner and the deprived -
للسائل والمحروم
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
Waallatheena yusaddiqoona biyawmi alddeeni
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense
والذين يصدقون بيوم الدين
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Waallatheena hum min AAathabi rabbihim mushfiqoona
And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
Inna AAathaba rabbihim ghayru mamoonin
Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -
إن عذاب ربهم غير مأمون
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ
Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona
And those who guard their private parts
والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ
Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fainnahum ghayru maloomeena
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -
إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم فإنهم غير ملومين
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faolaika humu alAAadoona
But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -
فمن ابتغى وراء ذلك فأولئك هم العادون
فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ
Waallatheena hum liamanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona
And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
والذين هم لأماناتهم وعهدهم راعون
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
Waallatheena hum bishahadatihim qaimoona

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ
Waallatheena hum AAala salatihim yuhafithoona
And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:
والذين هم على صلاتهم يحافظون
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

They will be in gardens, honored.
أولئك في جنات مكرمون
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
Famali allatheena kafaroo qibalaka muhtiAAeena
So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],
فمال الذين كفروا قبلك مهطعين
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali AAizeena
[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?
عن اليمين وعن الشمال عزين
عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
AyatmaAAu kullu imriin minhum an yudkhala jannata naAAeemin
Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?
أيطمع كل امرئ منهم أن يدخل جنة نعيم
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
Kalla inna khalaqnahum mimma yaAAlamoona
No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.
كلا ۖ إنا خلقناهم مما يعلمون
كَلَّآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
Fala oqsimu birabbi almashariqi waalmagharibi inna laqadiroona
So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
فلا أقسم برب المشارق والمغارب إنا لقادرون
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ
AAala an nubaddila khayran minhum wama nahnu bimasbooqeena
To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
على أن نبدل خيرا منهم وما نحن بمسبوقين
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona
So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -
فذرهم يخوضوا ويلعبوا حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي يوعدون
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
Yawma yakhrujoona mina alajdathi siraAAan kaannahum ila nusubin yoofidoona
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
يوم يخرجون من الأجداث سراعا كأنهم إلى نصب يوفضون
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun thalika alyawmu allathee kanoo yooAAadoona
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
خاشعة أبصارهم ترهقهم ذلة ۚ ذلك اليوم الذي كانوا يوعدون
خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ
