SURAH - Al Maarij

Clear

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ

A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall-

Al-Maarij  1    

لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ

The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-

Al-Maarij  2    

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ

(A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.

Al-Maarij  3    

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ

The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:

Al-Maarij  4    

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا

Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment).

Al-Maarij  5    

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا

They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):

Al-Maarij  6    

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا

But We see it (quite) near.

Al-Maarij  7    

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ

The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,

Al-Maarij  8    

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ

And the mountains will be like wool,

Al-Maarij  9    

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا

And no friend will ask after a friend,

Al-Maarij  10    

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ

Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,

Al-Maarij  11    

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

His wife and his brother,

Al-Maarij  12    

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ

His kindred who sheltered him,

Al-Maarij  13    

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him:

Al-Maarij  14    

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-

Al-Maarij  15    

نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ

Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-

Al-Maarij  16    

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).

Al-Maarij  17    

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ

And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!

Al-Maarij  18    

۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Truly man was created very impatient;-

Al-Maarij  19    

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا

Fretful when evil touches him;

Al-Maarij  20    

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا

And niggardly when good reaches him;-

Al-Maarij  21    

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

Not so those devoted to Prayer;-

Al-Maarij  22    

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ

Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;

Al-Maarij  23    

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.

Al-Maarij  24    

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ

For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);

Al-Maarij  25    

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;

Al-Maarij  26    

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ

And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,-

Al-Maarij  27    

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ

For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;-

Al-Maarij  28    

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ

And those who guard their chastity,

Al-Maarij  29    

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,

Al-Maarij  30    

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ

But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;-

Al-Maarij  31    

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ

And those who respect their trusts and covenants;

Al-Maarij  32    

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ

And those who stand firm in their testimonies;

Al-Maarij  33    

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-

Al-Maarij  34    

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ

Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).

Al-Maarij  35    

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ

Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-

Al-Maarij  36    

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ

From the right and from the left, in crowds?

Al-Maarij  37    

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ

Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?

Al-Maarij  38    

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!

Al-Maarij  39    

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ

Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly-

Al-Maarij  40    

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).

Al-Maarij  41    

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!-

Al-Maarij  42    

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ

The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),-

Al-Maarij  43    

خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

Their eyes lowered in dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised!

Al-Maarij  44
