Surah The Ascending stairways [Al-Maarij] in English

Surah The Ascending stairways [Al-Maarij] Ayah 44 Location Makkah Number 70

سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ ﴿1﴾

A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall

لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ ﴿2﴾

Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ ﴿3﴾

From Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ ﴿4﴾

The angels and the Ruh ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years.

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا ﴿5﴾

So be patient, with a good patience.

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا ﴿6﴾

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

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا ﴿7﴾

But We see it near.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ ﴿8﴾

The Day that the sky will be like the Al-Muhl.

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ﴿9﴾

And the mountains will be like `Ihn.

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا ﴿10﴾

And no friend will ask a friend,

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ ﴿11﴾

Though they shall be made to see one another, the criminal would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children.

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ﴿12﴾

And his wife and his brother,

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ ﴿13﴾

And his Fasilah who sheltered him,

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ﴿14﴾

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

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ﴿15﴾

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

نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ ﴿16﴾

Nazza`ah the Shawa!

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ﴿17﴾

Calling (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces.

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ ﴿18﴾

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

۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ﴿19﴾

Verily, man was created very impatient;

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا ﴿20﴾

Apprehensive when evil touches him;

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ﴿21﴾

And suppressive when good touches him.

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿22﴾

Except those who are devoted to Salah.

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ ﴿23﴾

Those who with their Salah are Da'imun;

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ﴿24﴾

And those in whose wealth there is a recognized right.

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ﴿25﴾

For the one who asks, and for the deprived.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿26﴾

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ﴿27﴾

And those who fear the torment of their Lord.

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ ﴿28﴾

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

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ ﴿29﴾

And those who guard their private part (chastity).

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ﴿30﴾

Except from their wives or their right hand possessions -- for (then) they are not blameworthy.

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ ﴿31﴾

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

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ ﴿32﴾

And those who keep their trusts and covenants.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ ﴿33﴾

And those who stand firm in their testimonies.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ﴿34﴾

And those who are with their Salah, Yuhafizun.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿35﴾

Such shall dwell in the Gardens, honored

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ﴿36﴾

So, what is the matter with those disbelievers, before you Muhti`in

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ﴿37﴾

On the right and on the left, `Izin.

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ ﴿38﴾

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

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿39﴾

But no! Verily, We have created them out of that which they know!

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ ﴿40﴾

But no! I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that surely We are Able

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿41﴾

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

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ﴿42﴾

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

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ ﴿43﴾

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

خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ﴿44﴾

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