Al-Maarij

Surat Al-Maarij (Arabic: سورة المعارج‎) (The Ascending Stairways) is the 70th sura of the Qur'an with 44 ayat.

Content

The Sura contains an important verse, restricting Muslims' sexual behavior:

^{[Quran 70:29]}

[29] And those who guard their private parts,[30] Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess-- for these surely are not to be blamed, [31] But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits--

Verse 29 to 31 is quoted in a Hadiths related to Mut'ah.

Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam will be approached by non-believers for Paradise

فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ (36) عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ (37

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ (38) كَلاَّ

Thereat, what is the purpose-explanation of this activity of those who had persistently refused to accept that they are hurriedly heading in fear and docility to be face to face with you- Muhammad [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam], keeping their uninterrupted focus upon you? They are approaching from your right and left side in small groups. [70:36-37]

Is it that by approaching you [Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] in fear and docility each of them vehemently hopefully desires that he might be caused entry in a Paradise of Delight? [70:38]

No, this desire of Non Believing will not be entertained. [Refer 70:39]

مُهْطِعِينَ is Active Participle: Indefinite; masculine; sound plural; accusative; [Form-IV]. Its Root is "ھ ط ع". The basic perception infolded is described by learned Ibn Faris [doed-1005] in these words:

الهاء والطاء والعين: أُصَيلٌ يدلُّ على إقبالٍ على الشّيء وانقياد. يقال: هَطَعَ الرّجلُ على الشَّيء ببصره: أقبَلَ.

That, it leads to the perception of approaching the object for confronting it with mindset of submission, docility.
