Surah Al-Ma'arij

Meccan · 44 Verses · Surah 70

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
and withholding when touched with good—
21
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
except those who pray,
22
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ
consistently performing their prayers;
23
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
and who give the rightful share of their wealth
24
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ
to the beggar and the poor;
25
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
and who ˹firmly˺ believe in the Day of Judgment;
26
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
and those who fear the punishment of their Lord—
27
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ
˹knowing that˺ none should feel secure from their Lord’s punishment—
28
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ
and those who guard their chastity1
29
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession,1 for then they are free from blame,
30
فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ
but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors.
31
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
˹The faithful are˺ also those who are true to their trusts and covenants;
32
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ
and who are honest in their testimony;
33
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
and who are ˹properly˺ observant of their prayers.
34
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
These will be in Gardens, held in honour.
35
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
So what is the matter with the disbelievers that they rush ˹head-long˺ towards you ˹O Prophet˺,
36
عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
from the right and the left, in groups ˹to mock you˺?1
37
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
Does every one of them expect to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?
38
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
But no! Indeed, they ˹already˺ know what We created them from.1
39
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ
So, I do swear by the Lord of ˹all˺ the points of sunrise and sunset1 that We are truly capable
