بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ
A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen
لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ
To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ
[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent
تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ
The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years
فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا
So be patient with gracious patience
إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا
Indeed, they see it [as] distant
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا
But We see it [as] near
يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ
On the Day the sky will be like murky oil
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ
And the mountains will be like wool
وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا
And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend
