Sahih International — English — Al-Ma'arij

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent.

The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

So be patient with gracious patience.

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

But We see it [as] near.

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

And the mountains will be like wool,

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children

And his wife and his brother

And his nearest kindred who shelter him

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

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

A remover of exteriors.

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

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

When evil touches him, impatient,

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

Except the observers of prayer -

Those who are constant in their prayer

And those within whose wealth is a known right
