70. Surah Al-Ma'arij (The Ways of Ascent)

Para : 29 (Tabarakal lazi)
Verses : 44
Ruku : 2
Makki Surah
____________________________________________



1. A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall
2. Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,
3. From Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.
4. The angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years,
5. So be patient (O Muhammad  ), with a good patience.
6. Verily! They see it (the torment) afar off,
7. But We see it (quite) near.
8. The Day that the sky will be like the boiling filth of oil, (or molten copper or silver or lead, etc.).
9. And the mountains will be like flakes of wool,
10. And no friend will ask of a friend,


11. Though they shall be made to see one another [(i.e. on the Day of Resurrection), there will be none but see his father, children and relatives, but he will neither speak to them nor will ask them for any help)], - the Mujrim, (criminal, sinner, disbeliever, etc.) would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children.
12. And his wife and his brother,
13. And his kindred who sheltered him,
14. And all that are in the earth, so that it might save him .
15. By no means! Verily, it will be the Fire of Hell!
16. Taking away (burning completely) the head skin!
17. Calling: "[O Kafir (O disbeliever in Allah, His angels, His Book, His Messengers, Day of Resurrection and in Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments), O Mushrik (O polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah)] (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from Faith) [picking and swallowing them up from that great gathering of mankind (on the Day of Resurrection) just as a bird picks up a food-grain from the earth with its beak and swallows it up] [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, Vol. 18, Page 289]
18. And collect (wealth) and hide it (from spending it in the Cause of Allah).
19. Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient;
20. Irritable (discontented) when evil touches him;
21. And niggardly when good touches him;-
22. Except those devoted to Salat (prayers)
23. Those who remain constant in their Salat (prayers);
24. And those in whose wealth there is a known right,


25. For the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth, (and his means of living has been straitened);
26. And those who believe in the Day of Recompense,
27. And those who fear the torment of their Lord,
28. Verily! The torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure,
29. And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts) .
30. Except with their wives and the (women slaves and captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed,
31. But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.
32. And those who keep their trusts and covenants;
33. And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
34. And those who guard their Salat (prayers) well ,


35. Such shall dwell in the Gardens (i.e. Paradise) honoured.
36. So what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten to listen from you (O Muhammad ), in order to belie you and to mock at you, and at Allah's Book (this Qur'an).
37. (Sitting) in groups on the right and on the left (of you, O Muhammad )?
38. Does every man of them hope to enter the Paradise of delight?
39. No, that is not like that! Verily, We have created them out of that which they know!
40. So I swear by the Lord of all [the three hundred and sixty (360)] points of sunrise and sunset in the east and the west that surely We are Able
41. To replace them by (others) better than them; and We are not to be outrun.
42. So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they meet their Day which they are promised.


43. The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a goal,
44. With their eyes lowered in fear and humility, ignominy covering them (all over)! That is the Day which they were promised!

76. Surah Al-Insan (Man or Time)

Para : 29 ( Tabārakal lazi) Verses : 31 Ruku : 2 Madani Surah  __________________________________________ 1.   Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned? 2.   Verily, We have created man from   Nutfah   drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer. 3.   Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful. 4.   Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire. 5.   Verily, the   Abrar   (pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called   Kafur . 6.   A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly. 7.   They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading. 8.   And they give food...

77. Surah Al-Mursalaat (Those sent forth)

Para : 29 ( Tabārakal lazī) Verses : 50 Ruku : 2 Makki Surah  _____________________________________________ 1.   By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 2.   And by the winds that blow violently, 3.   And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 4.   And by the Verses (of the Qur'an) that separate the right from the wrong. 5.   And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 6.   To cut off all excuses or to warn; 7.   Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 8.   Then when the stars lose their lights; 9.   And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 10.   And when the mountains are blown away; 11.   And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 12.   For what Day are these signs postponed? 13.   For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 14.   And what...

59. Surah Al-Hashr (The Gathering)

Para : 28 ( Qadd sami) Verses : 24 Ruku : 3 Madani Surah  _________________________________________________ 1.   Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 2.   He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see). 3.   And had it not been that Allah had decreed exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and in the Hereafter theirs shall be the torment of the Fire. 4...
