আল মা‘আরিজ (উচ্চ মর্যাদা)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall

1 Saala sailun biAAathabin waqiAAin

1 A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

2 Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,

2 Lilkafireena laysa lahu dafiAAun

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

3 From Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.

3 Mina Allahi thee almaAAariji

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

4 The angels and the Ruh [Jibril (Gabriel)] ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years.

4 TaAAruju almalaikatu waalrroohu ilayhi fee yawmin kana miqdaruhu khamseena alfa sanatin

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

5 So be patient (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), with a good patience.

5 So be patient with gracious patience.

6 Verily, they see it (the torment) afar off.

6 Innahum yarawnahu baAAeedan

6 Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

7 But We see it (quite) near.

7 Wanarahu qareeban

7 But We see it [as] near.

8 The Day that the sky will be like the boiling filth of oil, (or molten copper or silver or lead).

8 Yawma takoonu alssamao kaalmuhli

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

9 And the mountains will be like flakes of wool.

9 Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni

10 And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition),

10 Wala yasalu hameemun hameeman

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

11 Though they shall be made to see one another [(i.e. on the Day of Resurrection), there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor will ask them for any help]. The Mujrim, (criminal, sinner, disbeliever) would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children,

11 Yubassaroonahum yawaddu almujrimu law yaftadee min AAathabi yawmiithin bibaneehi

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

12 And his wife and his brother

13 And his kindred who sheltered him,

13 Wafaseelatihi allatee tuweehi

14 And all that are in the earth, so that it might save him.

14 Waman fee alardi jameeAAan thumma yunjeehi

15 By no means! Verily, it will be the Fire of Hell,

15 Kalla innaha latha

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

16 Taking away (burning completely) the head skin!

16 NazzaAAatan lilshshawa

16 A remover of exteriors.

17 Calling (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from Faith) [picking and swallowing them up from that great gathering of mankind on the Day of Resurrection just as a bird picks up a food-grain from the earth with its beak and swallows it up] (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi)

17 TadAAoo man adbara watawalla

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

18 And collect (wealth) and hide it (from spending it in the Cause of Allah).

18 And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

19 Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient;

19 Inna alinsana khuliqa halooAAan

19 Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

20 Irritable (discontented) when evil touches him;

20 Itha massahu alshsharru jazooAAan

20 When evil touches him, impatient,

21 And niggardly when good touches him.

21 Waitha massahu alkhayru manooAAan

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

22 Except those who are devoted to Salat (prayers).

22 Illa almusalleena

22 Except the observers of prayer -

23 Those who remain constant in their Salat (prayers);

24 And those in whose wealth there is a recognised right

24 Waallatheena fee amwalihim haqqun maAAloomun

25 For the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth, (and his means of living has been straitened).

26 And those who believe in the Day of Recompense.

26 Waallatheena yusaddiqoona biyawmi alddeeni

27 And those who fear the torment of their Lord.

27 Waallatheena hum min AAathabi rabbihim mushfiqoona

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

28 Verily, the torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure. -

28 Inna AAathaba rabbihim ghayru mamoonin

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

29 And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts).

29 Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona

29 And those who guard their private parts

30 Except from their wives or the (women slaves) whom their right hands possess - for (then) they are not blameworthy.

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

31 But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.

35 Such shall dwell in the Gardens (i.e. Paradise), honoured.

35 Olaika fee jannatin mukramoona

35 They will be in gardens, honored.

36 So what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten to listen from you [O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), in order to belie you and to mock at you, and at Allah's Book (this Qur'an)].

36 Famali allatheena kafaroo qibalaka muhtiAAeena

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

37 (Sitting) in groups on the right and on the left (of you, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?

37 AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali AAizeena

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

38 Does every man of them hope to enter the Paradise of Delight?

38 AyatmaAAu kullu imriin minhum an yudkhala jannata naAAeemin

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

39 No, that is not like that! Verily, We have created them out of that which they know!

39 Kalla inna khalaqnahum mimma yaAAlamoona

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

40 So I swear by the Lord of all the [three hundred and sixty-five (365)] points of sunrise and sunset in the east and the west that surely We are Able

40 Fala oqsimu birabbi almashariqi waalmagharibi inna laqadiroona

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

41 To replace them by (others) better than them; and We are not to be outrun.

41 AAala an nubaddila khayran minhum wama nahnu bimasbooqeena

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

42 So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they meet their Day which they are promised -

42 Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona

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

43 The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a goal,

43 Yawma yakhrujoona mina alajdathi siraAAan kaannahum ila nusubin yoofidoona

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

44 With their eyes lowered in fear and humility, ignominy covering them (all over)! That is the Day which they were promised!

44 KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun thalika alyawmu allathee kanoo yooAAadoona

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