Surah 70. The Ascending Stairways, Staircases Upward, Sckeptic
Surah Al-Ma'arij
- A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall-
- The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,—
- (A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
- The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:
- Therefore do thou hold Patience,— a Patience of beautiful (contentment).
- They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):
- But We see it (quite) near.
- The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,
- And the mountains will be like wool,
- And no friend will ask after a friend,
- Though they will be put in sight of each other,— the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
- His wife and his brother,
- His kindred who sheltered him,
- And all, all that is on earth,— so it could deliver him:
- By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!—
- Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!—
- Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).
- And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
- Truly man was created very impatient;—
- Fretful when evil touches him;
- And niggardly when good reaches him;—
- Not so those devoted to Prayer;—
- Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;
- And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
- For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
- And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
- And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,—
- For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;—
- And those who guard their chastity,
- Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,— for (then) they are not to be blamed,
- But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;—
- And those who respect their trusts and covenants;
- And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
- And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;—
- Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
- Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-
- From the right and from the left, in crowds?
- Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
- By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
- Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly-
- Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).
- So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!—
- The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),—
- Their eyes lowered in dejection,— ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised!
