Al-Ma'arij


سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ

A challenger1 has demanded a punishment bound to come


لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ

for the disbelievers—to be averted by none—


مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ

from Allah, Lord of pathways of ˹heavenly˺ ascent,


تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ

˹through which˺ the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit1 will ascend to Him on a Day fifty thousand years in length.2


فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا

So endure ˹this denial, O  Prophet,˺ with beautiful patience.


إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا

They truly see this ˹Day˺ as impossible,


وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا

but We see it as inevitable.


يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ

On that Day the sky will be like molten brass


وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ

and the mountains like ˹tufts of˺ wool.
