سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ ١
A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall
لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ ٢
Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ ٣
From Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.
تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ ٤
The angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years,
فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا ٥
So be patient (O Muhammad SAW), with a good patience.
إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا ٦
Verily! They see it (the torment) afar off,
يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ ٨
The Day that the sky will be like the boiling filth of oil, (or molten copper or silver or lead, etc.).
