The Ascending Stairways

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
70:1
سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ

A requester seeks the punishment that will take place –

70:2
لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ

- Upon the disbelievers – the punishment that none can avert.

70:3
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ

From Allah, the Lord of all pinnacles.

70:4
تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ

The angels and Jibreel, ascend towards Him – the punishment will befall on a day which spans fifty thousand years.

70:5
فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا

Therefore patiently endure, in the best manner (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him).

70:6
إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا

They deem it to be remote.

70:7
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا

Whereas We see it impending.

70:8
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ

The day when the sky will be like molten silver.

70:9
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ

And the hills will be light as wool.

70:10
وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا

And no friend will ask concerning his friend.

70:11
يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ

They will be seeing them; the guilty will wish if only he could redeem himself from the punishment of that day, by offering his sons.

70:12
وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ

And his wife and his brother.

70:13
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ

And the family in which he was.

70:14
وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ

And all those who are in the earth – then only if the redemption saves him!

70:15
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

Never! That is indeed a blazing fire.

70:16
نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ

A fire that melts the hide.

70:17
تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

It calls out to him who reverted and turned away.

70:18
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ

And accumulated wealth and hoarded it.

70:19
۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Indeed man is created very impatient, greedy.

70:20
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا

Very nervous when touched by misfortune.

70:21
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا

And refraining, when good reaches him.

70:22
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

Except those who establish prayer.

70:23
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ

Those who are regular in their prayers.

70:24
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ

And those in whose wealth exists a recognised right,

70:25
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ

For those who beg, and for the needy who cannot even ask.

70:26
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

And those who believe the Day of Judgement to be true.

70:27
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ

And those who fear the punishment of their Lord.

70:28
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ

Indeed the punishment of their Lord is not a thing to be unafraid of!

70:29
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ

And those who protect their private organs (from adultery).

70:30
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ

Except with their wives and the bondwomen in their possession, for there is no reproach on them.

70:31
فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ

So those who desire more than this – it is they who are the transgressors.

70:32
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ

And those who protect the property entrusted to them, and their agreements.

70:33
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ

And those who are firm upon their testimonies.

70:34
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ

And those who protect their prayers.

70:35
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ

It is these who will be honoured in Gardens.

Ruku 505 starts here
70:36
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ

So what is the matter with these disbelievers, that they stare at you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him)?

70:37
عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ

From the right and the left, in groups?

70:38
أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ

Does every man among them aspire to be admitted into the Garden of serenity?

70:39
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

Never! We have indeed created them from a thing they know.

70:40
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ

So I swear by the Lord of every East and every West, that We are indeed Able.

70:41
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

To replace them by those better than them; and none can escape from Us.

70:42
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ

Therefore leave them, involved in their indecencies and play, till they confront their day which they are promised.

70:43
يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ

A day when they will come out of the graves in haste, as if rushing towards their goals.

70:44
خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

With lowered eyes, disgrace overcoming them; this is the day, which they had been promised.
