আল মারিজ (উচ্চ মর্যাদা)

1 A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. A questioner questioned concerning the doom about to fall

2 To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

2 Upon the disbelievers, which none can repel,

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

3 From Allah, Lord of the Ascending Stairways

4 The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

4 (Whereby) the angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day whereof the span is fifty thousand years.

5 So be patient with gracious patience.

5 But be patient (O Muhammad) with a patience fair to see.

6 Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

6 Lo! they behold it afar off

7 But We see it [as] near.

7 While we behold it nigh:

8 On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

8 The day when the sky will become as molten copper,

9 And the mountains will be like wool,

9 And the hills become as flakes of wool,

10 And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

10 And no familiar friend will ask a question of his friend

11 They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children

11 Though they will be given sight of them. The guilty man will long to be able to ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the price of his children

12 And his wife and his brother

12 And his spouse and his brother

13 And his nearest kindred who shelter him

13 And his kin that harboured him

14 And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

14 And all that are in the earth, if then it might deliver him.

15 No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

15 But nay! for lo! it is the fire of hell

16 A remover of exteriors.

16 Eager to roast;

17 It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

17 It calleth him who turned and fled (from truth),

18 And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

18 And hoarded (wealth) and withheld it.

19 Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

19 Lo! man was created anxious,

20 When evil touches him, impatient,

20 Fretful when evil befalleth him

21 And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

21 And, when good befalleth him, grudging;

22 Except the observers of prayer -

22 Save worshippers.

23 Those who are constant in their prayer

23 Who are constant at their worship

24 And those within whose wealth is a known right

24 And in whose wealth there is a right acknowledged

25 For the petitioner and the deprived -

25 For the beggar and the destitute;

26 And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

26 And those who believe in the Day of Judgment,

27 And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

27 And those who are fearful of their Lord's doom -

28 Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

28 Lo! the doom of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure -

29 And those who guard their private parts

29 And those who preserve their chastity

30 Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

30 Save with their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for thus they are not blameworthy;

31 But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

31 But whoso seeketh more than that, those are they who are transgressors;

32 And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

32 And those who keep their pledges and their covenant,

33 And those who are in their testimonies upright

33 And those who stand by their testimony

34 And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

34 And those who are attentive at their worship.

35 They will be in gardens, honored.

35 These will dwell in Gardens, honoured.

36 So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

36 What aileth those who disbelieve, that they keep staring toward thee (O Muhammad), open - eyed,

37 [To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

37 On the right and on the left, in groups ?

38 Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

38 Doth every man among them hope to enter the Garden of Delight ?

39 No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

39 Nay, verily. Lo! We created them from what they know.

40 So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

40 But nay! I swear by the Lord of the rising - places and the setting - places of the planets that We verily are Able

41 To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

41 To replace them by (others) better than them. And we are not to be outrun.

42 So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

42 So let them chat and play until they meet their Day which they are promised,

43 The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

43 The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as racing to a goal,

44 Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.

44 With eyes aghast, abasement stupefying them: Such is the Day which they are promised.
