Surah Al-Ma'arijMakiha44In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.An asker asked for a punishment sure to befall 1—which none can avert from the faithless — 2from Allah, Lord of the lofty stations. 3The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose span is fifty thousand years. 4So be patient, with a patience that is graceful. 5Indeed they see it to be far off, 6and We see it to be near. 7The day when the sky will be like molten copper, 8and the mountains like [tufts of] dyed wool, 9and no friend will inquire about [the welfare of his] friend, 10[though] they will be placed within each other’s sight. The guilty one will wish he could ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the price of his children, 11his spouse and his brother, 12his kin, which had sheltered him 13and all those who are upon the earth, if that might deliver him. 14Never! Indeed, it is a blazing fire, 15which strips away the scalp. 16It invites him, who has turned back [from the truth] and forsaken [it], 17amassing [wealth] and hoarding [it]. 18Indeed man has been created covetous: 19anxious when an ill befalls him 20and grudging [charity] when good comes his way 21—[all are such] except the prayerful, 22those who persevere in their prayers 23and there is a known share in whose wealth 24for the beggar and the deprived, 25and who affirm the Day of Retribution, 26and those who are apprehensive of the punishment of their Lord 27(there is indeed no security from the punishment of their Lord) 28and those who guard their private parts 29(apart from their spouses and their slave women, for then they are not blameworthy; 30but whoever seeks beyond that—it is they who are the transgressors) 31and those who keep their trusts and covenants, 32and those who are observant of their testimonies, 33and those who are watchful of their prayers. 34They will be in gardens, held in honour. 35What is the matter with the faithless that they scramble toward you, 36from left and right, in groups? 37Does each man among them hope to enter the garden of bliss? 38Never! Indeed, We created them from what they know. 39So I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that We are able 40to replace them with [others] better than them and We are not to be outmaneuvered. 41So leave them to gossip and play till they encounter the day they are promised: 42the day when they emerge from graves, hastening, as if racing toward a target, 43with a humbled look [in their eyes], overcast by abasement. That is the day they had been promised. 44
