A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [1]

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [2]

[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [3]

The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [4]

So be patient with gracious patience. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [5]

Indeed, they see it [as] distant, Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [6]

But We see it [as] near. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [7]

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil, Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [8]

And the mountains will be like wool, Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [9]

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend, Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [10]

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [11]

And his wife and his brother Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [12]

And his nearest kindred who shelter him Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [13]

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [14]

No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell], Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [15]

A remover of exteriors. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [16]

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience] Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [17]

And collected [wealth] and hoarded. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [18]

Indeed, mankind was created anxious: Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [19]

When evil touches him, impatient, Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [20]

And when good touches him, withholding [of it], Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [21]

Except the observers of prayer - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [22]

Those who are constant in their prayer Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [23]

And those within whose wealth is a known right Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [24]

For the petitioner and the deprived - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [25]

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [26]

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [27]

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [28]

And those who guard their private parts Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [29]

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [30]

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [31]

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [32]

And those who are in their testimonies upright Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [33]

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer: Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [34]

They will be in gardens, honored. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [35]

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad], Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [36]

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups? Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [37]

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure? Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [38]

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [39]

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [40]

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [41]

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised - Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [42]

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [43]

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised. Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) [44]
