From Allah, owner of the ascending stairways. (3)

تَعْرُجُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ وَ الرُّوْحُ اِلَیْهِ فِیْ یَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهٗ خَمْسِیْنَ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ(4)

The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years. (4)

They will be shown each other [but will not acknowledge]. The criminal would wish that he could ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by [sacrificing] his children (11)

And collected [wealth] and hoarded. (18)

اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوْعًا(19)

Indeed, mankind was created anxious - (19)

اِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوْعًا(20)

When evil touches him, impatient, (20)

وَّ اِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَیْرُ مَنُوْعًا(21)

اِلَّا الْمُصَلِّیْنَ(22)

Except the মুসলin (22)

الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآىٕمُوْنَ(23)

Those who are constant in their prayer (23)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْۤ اَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُوْمٌ(24)

And those in whose wealth is a known right (24)

لِّلسَّآىٕلِ وَ الْمَحْرُوْمِ(25)

For the beggar and the deprived - (25)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُصَدِّقُوْنَ بِیَوْمِ الدِّیْنِ(26)

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense (26)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُوْنَ(27)

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord - (27)

اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَیْرُ مَاْمُوْنٍ(28)

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe - (28)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ لِفُرُوْجِهِمْ حٰفِظُوْنَ(29)

And those who guard their chastity, (29)

اِلَّا عَلٰۤى اَزْوَاجِهِمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَیْمَانُهُمْ فَاِنَّهُمْ غَیْرُ مَلُوْمِیْنَ(30)

Except with their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - (30)

فَمَنِ ابْتَغٰى وَرَآءَ ذٰلِكَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الْعٰدُوْنَ(31)

But whoever seeks beyond that - then those are the transgressors - (31)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمْ وَ عَهْدِهِمْ رٰعُوْنَ(32)

And those who are to their trusts and their promises attentive (32)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ بِشَهٰدٰتِهِمْ قَآىٕمُوْنَ(33)

And those who stand firm in their testimonies (33)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ عَلٰى صَلَاتِهِمْ یُحَافِظُوْنَﭤ(34)

And those who carefully maintain their prayer - (34)

اُولٰٓىٕكَ فِیْ جَنّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُوْنَﭤ(35)

Those will be in gardens, honored. (35)

فَمَالِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِیْنَ(36)

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening towards you, open-eyed (36)

عَنِ الْیَمِیْنِ وَ عَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِیْنَ(37)

From the right and from the left, in crowds? (37)

اَیَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ اَنْ یُّدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِیْمٍ(38)

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure? (38)

كَلَّاؕ-اِنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُمْ مِّمَّا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(39)

No! Indeed, We have created them from what they know. (39)

فَلَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشٰرِقِ وَ الْمَغٰرِبِ اِنَّا لَقٰدِرُوْنَ(40)

So I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that indeed We are able (40)

عَلٰۤى اَنْ نُّبَدِّلَ خَیْرًا مِّنْهُمْۙ-وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوْقِیْنَ(41)

To replace them with [others] better than them; and We are not to be outdone. (41)

فَذَرْهُمْ یَخُوْضُوْا وَ یَلْعَبُوْا حَتّٰى یُلٰقُوْا یَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِیْ یُوْعَدُوْنَ(42)

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised. (42)

یَوْمَ یَخْرُجُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَاَنَّهُمْ اِلٰى نُصُبٍ یُّوْفِضُوْنَ(43)

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly, as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening. (43)

خَاشِعَةً اَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌؕ-ذٰلِكَ الْیَوْمُ الَّذِیْ كَانُوْا یُوْعَدُوْنَ(44)

Their eyes lowered, overwhelmed by humiliation. That is the Day which they had been promised. (44)
