70. Sūrat al-Maʿārij
٧٠۔ سُورَةُ المَعارِج
So what is ˹the matter˺ with those who disbelieve, hastening ˹from˺ before you, ˹O Muhammad˺,
فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ
˹To sit˺ on ˹your˺ right and ˹your˺ left in separate groups?
عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ
So I swear by the Lord of ˹all˺ risings and settings that indeed We are able
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ
To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
عَلَىٰ أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
