   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ١

   A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

   لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ٢

   To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

   مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ٣

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

   تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ٤

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

   فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا٥

   So be patient with gracious patience.

   إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا٦

   Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

   وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا٧

   But We see it [as] near.

   يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ٨

   On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

   وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ٩

   And the mountains will be like wool,

   وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا١٠

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

   يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ١١

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

   وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ١٢

   And his wife and his brother

   وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ١٣

   And his nearest kindred who shelter him

   وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ١٤

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

   كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ١٥

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

   نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ١٦

   A remover of exteriors.

   تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ١٧

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

   وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ١٨

   And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

   ۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا١٩

   Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

   إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا٢٠

   When evil touches him, impatient,

   وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا٢١

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

   إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ٢٢

   Except the observers of prayer -

   ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ٢٣

   Those who are constant in their prayer

   وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ٢٤

   And those within whose wealth is a known right

   لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ٢٥

   For the petitioner and the deprived -

   وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ٢٦

   And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

   وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ٢٧

   And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

   إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ٢٨

   Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

   وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ٢٩

   And those who guard their private parts

   إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ٣٠

   Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

   فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ٣١

   But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

   وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ٣٢

   And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

   وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ٣٣

   And those who are in their testimonies upright

   وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ٣٤

   And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

   أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ٣٥

   They will be in gardens, honored.

   فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ٣٦

   So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

   عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ٣٧

   [To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

   أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ٣٨

   Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

   كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ٣٩

   No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

   فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ٤٠

   So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

   Read the passage · At-Tur 1–20

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلطُّورِ١

   By the mount

   وَكِتَٰبٍۢ مَّسْطُورٍۢ٢

   And [by] a Book inscribed

   فِى رَقٍّۢ مَّنشُورٍۢ٣

   In parchment spread open

   وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ٤

   And [by] the frequented House

   وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ٥

   And [by] the heaven raised high

   وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ٦

   And [by] the sea filled [with fire],

   إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ٧

   Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.

   مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍۢ٨

   Of it there is no preventer.

   يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًۭا٩

   On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

   وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًۭا١٠

   And the mountains will pass on, departing -

   فَوَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ١١

   Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,

   ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍۢ يَلْعَبُونَ١٢

   Who are in [empty] discourse amusing themselves.

   يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا١٣

   The Day they are thrust toward the fire of Hell with a [violent] thrust, [its angels will say],

   هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ١٤

   "This is the Fire which you used to deny.

   أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ١٥

   Then is this magic, or do you not see?

   ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ١٦

   [Enter to] burn therein; then be patient or impatient - it is all the same for you. You are only being recompensed [for] what you used to do."

   إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَنَعِيمٍۢ١٧

   Indeed, the righteous will be in gardens and pleasure,

   فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ١٨

   Enjoying what their Lord has given them, and their Lord protected them from the punishment of Hellfire.

   كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ١٩

   [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

   مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّصْفُوفَةٍۢ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ٢٠

   They will be reclining on thrones lined up, and We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

   Read the passage · Al-Hadid 11–19

   مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يُقْرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا فَيُضَٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ١١

   Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward?

   يَوْمَ تَرَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ يَسْعَىٰ نُورُهُم بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَٰنِهِم بُشْرَىٰكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ١٢

   On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right, [it will be said], "Your good tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will abide eternally." That is what is the great attainment.

   يَوْمَ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱنظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ قِيلَ ٱرْجِعُوا۟ وَرَآءَكُمْ فَٱلْتَمِسُوا۟ نُورًۭا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍۢ لَّهُۥ بَابٌۢ بَاطِنُهُۥ فِيهِ ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَظَٰهِرُهُۥ مِن قِبَلِهِ ٱلْعَذَابُ١٣

   On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, "Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light." It will be said, "Go back behind you and seek light." And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.

   يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَٱرْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ ٱلْأَمَانِىُّ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ١٤

   The hypocrites will call to the believers, "Were we not with you?" They will say, "Yes, but you afflicted yourselves and awaited [misfortune for us] and doubted, and wishful thinking deluded you until there came the command of Allah. And the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah.

   فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌۭ وَلَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ مَأْوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ هِىَ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ١٥

   So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved. Your refuge is the Fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the destination.

   ۞ أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ١٦

   Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.

   ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحْىِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ١٧

   Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. We have made clear to you the signs; perhaps you will understand.

   إِنَّ ٱلْمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَٱلْمُصَّدِّقَٰتِ وَأَقْرَضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا يُضَٰعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ١٨

   Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan - it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.

   وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ ۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ١٩

   And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers - those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light. But those who have disbelieved and denied Our verses - those are the companions of Hellfire.
