بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ (1)

A challenger1 has demanded a punishment bound to come



لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌ (2)

for the disbelievers—to be averted by none—



مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ (3)

from Allah, Lord of pathways of ˹heavenly˺ ascent,



تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ (4)

˹through which˺ the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit1 will ascend to Him on a Day fifty thousand years in length.2



فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا (5)

So endure ˹this denial, O  Prophet,˺ with beautiful patience.



إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًا (6)

They truly see this ˹Day˺ as impossible,



وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًا (7)

but We see it as inevitable.
