Al-Ma'arij

Al-Haqqa
{35} فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هَا هُنَا حَمِيمٌ

"So no friend hath he here this Day."
{36} وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ

"Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
{37} لَا يَأْكُلُهُ إِلَّا الْخَاطِئُونَ

"Which none do eat but those in sin."
{38} فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ

So I do call to witness what ye see
{39} وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ

And what ye see not,
{40} إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

That this is verily the word of an honoured Messenger;
{47} فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ

Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).
{48} وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

But verily this is a Message for the God-fearing.
{49} وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مُكَذِّبِينَ

And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
{50} وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ

But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
{51} وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ

But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
{52} فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ

So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
{41} وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلًا مَا تُؤْمِنُونَ

It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!
{42} وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.
{43} تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
{44} وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ

And if the Messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,
{45} لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ

We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
{46} ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ

And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

Al-Ma'arij
{1} سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ

A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall,
{2} لِلْكَافِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ

The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,
{3} مِنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ

(A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
{4} تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ

The angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:
{5} فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا

Therefore do thou hold Patience, a Patience of beautiful (contentment).
{6} إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا

They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):
{7} وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا

But We see it (quite) near.
{8} يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاءُ كَالْمُهْلِ

The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,
{9} وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ

And the mountains will be like wool,
{10} وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا

And no friend will ask after a friend,




Al-Ma'arij
{11} يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ 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,
{12} وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ

His wife and his brother,
{13} وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ

His kindred who sheltered him.
{14} وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنْجِيهِ

And all, all that is on earth, so it could deliver him:
{15} كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى

By no means! For it would be the Fire of Hell!
{16} نَزَّاعَةً لِلشَّوَى

Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!
{35} أُولَئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُكْرَمُونَ

Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
{36} فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ

Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee,
{37} عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ

From the right and from the left, in crowds?
{38} أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ

Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
{39} كَلَّا إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
{29} وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ

And those who guard their chastity,
{30} إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed,
{31} فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ

But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;
{32} وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ

And those who respect their trusts and covenants;
{33} وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَائِمُونَ

And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
{34} وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;
{23} الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ

Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;
{24} وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَعْلُومٌ

And those in whose wealth is a recognised right
{25} لِلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ

For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
{26} وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ

And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
{27} وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمْ مُشْفِقُونَ

And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,
{28} إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ

For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;
{17} تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى

Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right),
{18} وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى

And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
{19} إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Truly man was created very impatient;
{20} إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا

Fretful when evil touches him;
{21} وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا

And niggardly when good reaches him;
{22} إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ

Not so those devoted to Prayer,




Al-Ma'arij
{40} فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ

Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly,
{41} عَلَى أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

Substitute for them better (men) than they; and We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).
{42} فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ

So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
{43} يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُبٍ 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),
{44} خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ

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

Nuh
{1} إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

We sent Nuh to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy people before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
{2} قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ

He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:
{3} أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ

"That ye should worship Allah, fear Him, and obey me:
{4} يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
{5} قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا

He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
{6} فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا

"But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
{7} وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا

"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
{8} ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا

"So I have called to them aloud;
{9} ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا

"Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
{10} فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

"Saying, `Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;
