Al-Ma'arij
سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ
A demanding person has asked for the punishment that is going to befall
لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ
the disbelievers; there is no one to avert it,
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ
(and it will come) from Allah, the Lord of the stairways,
تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ
to whom ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the length of which is fifty thousand years.
فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا
So, observe patience, a good patience.
إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا
They see it far off,
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا
and We see it near.
يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ
(This punishment will befall) on the Day when the sky will be like dregs of oil,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ
and the mountains will be like dyed wool,
