Al-Ma'arij


A questioner questioned concerning the doom about to fall
ﯔﯕﯖﯗ ﰁ​

Upon the disbelievers, which none can repel,
ﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﰂ​

From Allah, Lord of the Ascending Stairways
ﯞﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨ ﰃ​

(Whereby) the angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day whereof the span is fifty thousand years.
ﯪﯫﯬ ﰄ​

But be patient (O Muhammad) with a patience fair to see.
ﯮﯯﯰ ﰅ​

Lo! they behold it afar off
ﯲﯳ ﰆ​

While we behold it nigh:
ﯵﯶﯷﯸ ﰇ​

The day when the sky will become as molten copper,
ﯺﯻﯼ ﰈ​

And the hills become as flakes of wool,
ﯾﯿﰀﰁ ﰉ​

And no familiar friend will ask a question of his friend
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﰊ​

Though they will be given sight of them. The guilty man will long to be able to ransom himself from the punishment of that day at the price of his children
ﭜﭝ ﰋ​

And his spouse and his brother
ﭟﭠﭡ ﰌ​

And his kin that harboured him
ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨ ﰍ​

And all that are in the earth, if then it might deliver him.
ﭪﭫﭬﭭ ﰎ​

But nay! for lo! it is the fire of hell
ﭯﭰ ﰏ​

Eager to roast;
ﭲﭳﭴﭵ ﰐ​

It calleth him who turned and fled (from truth),
ﭷﭸ ﰑ​

And hoarded (wealth) and withheld it.
ﭺﭻﭼﭽﭾ ﰒ​

Lo! man was created anxious,
ﮀﮁﮂﮃ ﰓ​

Fretful when evil befalleth him
ﮅﮆﮇﮈ ﰔ​

And, when good befalleth him, grudging;
ﮊﮋ ﰕ​

Save worshippers.
ﮍﮎﮏﮐﮑ ﰖ​

Who are constant at their worship
ﮓﮔﮕﮖﮗ ﰗ​

And in whose wealth there is a right acknowledged
ﮙﮚ ﰘ​

For the beggar and the destitute;
ﮜﮝﮞﮟ ﰙ​

And those who believe in the Day of Judgment,
ﮡﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦ ﰚ​

And those who are fearful of their Lord's doom -
ﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬ ﰛ​

Lo! the doom of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure -
ﮮﮯﮰﮱ ﰜ​

And those who preserve their chastity
ﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﰝ​

Save with their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for thus they are not blameworthy;
ﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥ ﰞ​

But whoso seeketh more than that, those are they who are transgressors;
ﯧﯨﯩﯪﯫ ﰟ​

And those who keep their pledges and their covenant,
ﯭﯮﯯﯰ ﰠ​

And those who stand by their testimony
ﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶ ﰡ​

And those who are attentive at their worship.
ﯸﯹﯺﯻ ﰢ​

These will dwell in Gardens, honoured.
ﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁ ﰣ​

What aileth those who disbelieve, that they keep staring toward thee (O Muhammad), open-eyed,
ﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇ ﰤ​

On the right and on the left, in groups?
ﰉﰊﰋﰌﰍﰎﰏﰐ ﰥ​

Doth every man among them hope to enter the Garden of Delight?
ﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖﰗ ﰦ​

Nay, verily. Lo! We created them from what they know.
ﰙﰚﰛﰜﰝﰞﰟ ﰧ​

But nay! I swear by the Lord of the rising-places and the setting-places of the planets that We verily are Able
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘ ﰨ​

To replace them by (others) better than them. And we are not to be outrun.
ﭚﭛﭜﭝﭞﭟﭠﭡ ﰩ​

So let them chat and play until they meet their Day which they are promised,
ﭣﭤﭥﭦﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫ ﰪ​

The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as racing to a goal,
ﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵﭶ ﰫ​

With eyes aghast, abasement stupefying them: Such is the Day which they are promised.
