70 Al-Ma'arij | The Ascending Stairways
-
70:1
Someone asked about the inevitable retribution.
-
70:2
For the ingrates, there is nothing that will stop it.
-
70:3
From God, Possessor of the ascending portals.
-
70:4
The controllers and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day which is equivalent to fifty thousand years.
-
70:5
So be patient with a good patience.
-
70:6
They see it as far away.
-
70:7
We see it as near.
-
70:8
On the day the sky is like molten copper.
-
70:9
The mountains are like wool.
-
70:10
No friend will ask about his friend.
-
70:11
When they see it, the criminal will wish he can ransom his children against the retribution.
-
70:12
As well as his mate and his brother.
-
70:13
As well as his whole clan that protected him.
-
70:14
All who are on earth, so that he can be saved!
-
70:15
No, it is a flame.
-
70:16
Eager to roast.
-
70:17
It calls on those who turned away.
-
70:18
Who hoarded and counted.
-
70:19
Indeed, human being is created anxious.
-
70:20
When adversity touches him he is miserable.
-
70:21
When good touches him he is stingy.
-
70:22
Except for those who are supportive.
-
70:23
Who are always maintaining their support/contact prayers.
-
70:24
Those who set aside part of their wealth.
-
70:25
For the seeker and the deprived.
-
70:26
Those who acknowledge the day of Judgment.
-
70:27
Those who are fearful of their Lord's retribution.
-
70:28
The retribution of their Lord is not to be taken for granted.
-
70:29
Those who conceal their private parts.
-
70:30
Except around their spouses or those committed to by oath, there is no blame.
-
70:31
Then, whoever seeks anything beyond this, they are the transgressors.
-
70:32
Those who are trustworthy and keep their pledges.
-
70:33
Those who uphold their testimonies.
-
70:34
Those who are dedicated to their support/contact prayer.
-
70:35
They will be honored in paradises.
-
70:36
So what is wrong with the ingrates staring at you?
-
70:37
From the right and the left, in crowds?
-
70:38
Does every one of them hope to enter a paradise of bliss?
-
70:39
No, We have created them from what they know.
-
70:40
So I swear by the Lord of the east and the west that We are able.
-
70:41
To replace them with better people, We can never be defeated.
-
70:42
So let them talk in vain and play, until they meet their day which they are promised.
-
70:43
When they will come out of the graves in a rush, as if they are racing towards a goal.
-
70:44
Their eyes are cast down, with shame covering them. This is the day which they were promised.
