مِنَ اللَّهِ ذِي المَعارِجِ

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

تَعرُجُ المَلائِكَةُ وَالرّوحُ إِلَيهِ في يَومٍ كانَ مِقدارُهُ خَمسينَ أَلفَ سَنَةٍ

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

فَاصبِر صَبرًا جَميلًا

So be patient with gracious patience.

إِنَّهُم يَرَونَهُ بَعيدًا

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

وَنَراهُ قَريبًا

But We see it [as] near.

وَتَكونُ الجِبالُ كَالعِهنِ

And the mountains will be like wool,

وَلا يَسأَلُ حَميمٌ حَميمًا

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

يُبَصَّرونَهُم ۚ يَوَدُّ المُجرِمُ لَو يَفتَدي مِن عَذابِ يَومِئِذٍ بِبَنيهِ

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

وَصاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخيهِ

And his wife and his brother

وَفَصيلَتِهِ الَّتي تُؤويهِ

And his nearest kindred who shelter him
