The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-

And no friend will ask after a friend,
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ ( 11 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 11
Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ ( 12 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 12
His wife and his brother,
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ ( 13 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 13
His kindred who sheltered him,

كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ( 15 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 15
By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-
نَزَّاعَةً لِّلشَّوَىٰ ( 16 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 16
Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-
تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 17 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 17
Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).

Truly man was created very impatient;-
إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا ( 20 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 20
Fretful when evil touches him;
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ( 21 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 21
And niggardly when good reaches him;-
إِلَّا الْمُصَلِّينَ ( 22 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 22

And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ ( 25 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 25
For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);

And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;

And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,-
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ ( 28 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 28
For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;-
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ( 29 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 29
And those who guard their chastity,
إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ( 30 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 30
Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ ( 31 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 31
But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;-

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ( 34 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 34
And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-
أُولَٰئِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ ( 35 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 35
Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ( 36 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 36
Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-
عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ( 37 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 37
From the right and from the left, in crowds?
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ ( 38 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 38
Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ( 39 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 39
By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ ( 40 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 40
Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly-
عَلَىٰ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ( 41 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 41
Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ( 42 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 42
So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!-
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ ( 43 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 43
The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),-
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ( 44 ) Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent ) - Ayaa 44
Their eyes lowered in dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised!
