Al-Ma'arij 70:28–36

70:28Page 569

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ ٢٨

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

70:29Page 569

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ ٢٩

And those who guard their private parts

70:30Page 569

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ ٣٠

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,¹ for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

70:31Page 569

فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ ٣١

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

70:32Page 569

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ ٣٢

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

70:33Page 569

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمۡ قَآئِمُونَ ٣٣

And those who are in their testimonies upright

70:34Page 569

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ ٣٤

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

70:35Page 569

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ مُّكۡرَمُونَ ٣٥

They will be in gardens,¹ honored.

70:36Page 569

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِينَ ٣٦

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