Surah Al-Ma'arij

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

So be patient with gracious patience.

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

But We see it [as] near.

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

And the mountains will be like wool,

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

And his wife and his brother

And his nearest kindred who shelter him.

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

A remover of exteriors.

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

When evil touches him, impatient,

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

Except the observers of prayer -

Those who are constant in their prayer

And those within whose wealth is a known right

For the petitioner and the deprived -

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

And those who guard their private parts

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive.

And those who are in their testimonies upright

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

They will be in gardens, honored.

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muḥammad],

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
