The Elevated Passages -Al-Ma'arij |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 70. 1 ] A caller supplicated about a punishment to fall on |
|
2 |
|
[ 70. 2 ] the unbelievers which none can prevent. |
|
3 |
|
[ 70. 3 ] ( A punishment ) from Allah, the Owner of the Elevated Passages. |
|
4 |
|
[ 70. 4 ] To Him the angels and the Spirit ( Gabriel ) ascend in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years. |
|
5 |
|
[ 70. 5 ] Therefore be patient, with a beautiful patience; |
|
6 |
|
[ 70. 6 ] they see it as being far off; |
|
7 |
|
[ 70. 7 ] but We see it near. |
|
8 |
|
[ 70. 8 ] On that Day the heaven shall become like molten copper, |
|
9 |
|
[ 70. 9 ] and the mountains shall be like puffs of wool. |
|
10 |
|
[ 70. 10 ] No loyal friend will ask another loyal friend |
|
11 |
|
[ 70. 11 ] though they are in sight of each other. To ransom himself from the punishment of that Day, the sinner will wish that he might even ransom himself by his sons, |
|
12 |
|
[ 70. 12 ] his companion ( wife ), his brother, |
|
13 |
|
[ 70. 13 ] the kinsmen who gave him shelter, |
|
14 |
|
[ 70. 14 ] and whosoever is in the earth, altogether, so that it might save him. |
|
15 |
|
[ 70. 15 ] No, in truth, it is a Furnace! |
|
16 |
|
[ 70. 16 ] It snatches away by the scalps, |
|
17 |
|
[ 70. 17 ] and it shall call him who withdrew and turned his back |
|
18 |
|
[ 70. 18 ] and amassed ( riches ) and hoarded. |
|
19 |
|
[ 70. 19 ] Indeed, the human was created grudging and impatient. |
|
20 |
|
[ 70. 20 ] When evil comes upon him he is impatient; |
|
21 |
|
[ 70. 21 ] but when good comes upon him, he is grudging |
|
22 |
|
[ 70. 22 ] except those that pray |
|
23 |
|
[ 70. 23 ] who are constant in prayer; |
|
24 |
|
[ 70. 24 ] who, from their wealth is a known right |
|
25 |
|
[ 70. 25 ] for the impoverished nonrequester and the requester, |
|
26 |
|
[ 70. 26 ] who confirm the Day of Reckoning |
|
27 |
|
[ 70. 27 ] and go in fear of the punishment of their Lord, |
|
28 |
|
[ 70. 28 ] for none is secure from the punishment of their Lord, |
|
29 |
|
[ 70. 29 ] who guard their privates |
|
30 |
|
[ 70. 30 ] except from their wives and what their right hands own, for these they are not blameworthy. |
|
31 |
|
[ 70. 31 ] But whosoever seeks beyond that, they are the transgressors. |
|
32 |
|
[ 70. 32 ] ( Those ) who keep their trusts and their covenant, |
|
33 |
|
[ 70. 33 ] and standby their witnessing, |
|
34 |
|
[ 70. 34 ] and who are constant in their prayers. |
|
35 |
|
[ 70. 35 ] Those are highly honored in the Gardens. |
|
36 |
|
[ 70. 36 ] But what is the matter with the unbelievers, that they strain their glances continuously towards them, |
|
37 |
|
[ 70. 37 ] on the right and on the left in groups? |
|
38 |
|
[ 70. 38 ] What, is every one of them eager to be admitted to the Garden of Bliss? |
|
39 |
|
[ 70. 39 ] Not at all, for We have created them of what they know. |
|
40 |
|
[ 70. 40 ] No, I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We have the ability |
|
41 |
|
[ 70. 41 ] to exchange them with others better than they; nothing can outstrip Us! |
|
42 |
|
[ 70. 42 ] So leave them alone to plunge and play, until they encounter the Day which they are promised; |
|
43 |
|
[ 70. 43 ] the Day when they shall rush from their graves, as if they were hurrying to a raised flag, |
|
44 |
|
[ 70. 44 ] their eyes are humbled and they are covered with humiliation. Such is the Day that they were promised. |
