A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen
سَاَلَ سَآٮِٕلٌ ۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَّاقِعٍۙ

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.
لِّلْكٰفِرِيْنَ لَيْسَ لَهٗ دَافِعٌ ۙ

[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent.
مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ذِى الْمَعَارِجِۗ

The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَ الرُّوْحُ اِلَيْهِ فِىْ يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهٗ خَمْسِيْنَ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍۚ

So be patient with gracious patience.
فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيْلًا

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,
اِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهٗ بَعِيْدًا ۙ

But We see it [as] near.
وَّنَرٰٮهُ قَرِيْبًا ۗ

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,
يَوْمَ تَكُوْنُ السَّمَآءُ كَالْمُهْلِۙ

And the mountains will be like wool,
وَتَكُوْنُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِۙ

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,
وَلَا يَسْـَٔـلُ حَمِيْمٌ حَمِيْمًا ۚ

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children
يُّبَصَّرُوْنَهُمْۗ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِىْ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِٮِٕذٍۢ بِبَنِيْهِۙ

And his wife and his brother
وَ صَاحِبَتِهٖ وَاَخِيْهِۙ

And his nearest kindred who shelter him
وَفَصِيْلَتِهِ الَّتِىْ تُــْٔوِيْهِۙ

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.
وَمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا ۙ ثُمَّ يُنْجِيْهِۙ

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

A remover of exteriors.
نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوٰى ۚ

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

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.
وَجَمَعَ فَاَوْعٰى

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:
اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوْعًا ۙ

When evil touches him, impatient,
اِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوْعًا ۙ

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],
وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوْعًا ۙ

Except the observers of prayer -
اِلَّا الْمُصَلِّيْنَۙ

Those who are constant in their prayer
الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآٮِٕمُوْنَۖ

And those within whose wealth is a known right
وَالَّذِيْنَ فِىْۤ اَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُوْمٌۖ

For the petitioner and the deprived -
لِّلسَّآٮِٕلِ وَالْمَحْرُوْمِۖ

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense
وَالَّذِيْنَ يُصَدِّقُوْنَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِۖ

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُوْنَۚ

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -
اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُوْنٍ

And those who guard their private parts
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِفُرُوْجِهِمْ حٰفِظُوْنَۙ

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -
اِلَّا عَلٰٓى اَزْوَاجِهِمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَـكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُوْمِيْنَۚ

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -
فَمَنِ ابْتَغٰى وَرَآءَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الْعٰدُوْنَۚ

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رٰعُوْنَۖ

And those who are in their testimonies upright
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِشَهٰدٰتِهِمْ قَآٮِٕمُوْنَۖ

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُوْنَۗ

They will be in gardens, honored
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ فِىْ جَنّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُوْنَۗ

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],
فَمَالِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِيْنَۙ

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?
عَنِ الْيَمِيْنِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِيْنَ

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?
اَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِىءٍ مِّنْهُمْ اَنْ يُّدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيْمٍۙ

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.
كَلَّا ۗ اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُمْ مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشٰرِقِ وَالْمَغٰرِبِ اِنَّا لَقٰدِرُوْنَۙ

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
عَلٰٓى اَنْ نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْۙ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوْقِيْنَ

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوْضُوْا وَيَلْعَبُوْا حَتّٰى يُلٰقُوْا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِىْ يُوْعَدُوْنَۙ

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَاَنَّهُمْ اِلٰى نُصُبٍ يُّوْفِضُوْنَۙ

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
خَاشِعَةً اَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۗ ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِىْ كَانُوْا يُوْعَدُوْنَ
