70:1
A questioner might ask about the catastrophe that is bound to fall
70:2
Upon those who deny the Truth. None can repel it
70:3
From Allah, Lord of the Stairways of Ascent. (He enables all things to ascend, evolve and become what they are destined to be)
70:4
The Universal forces and the Divine Energy ascend unto Him in a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years
70:5
Therefore, you shall do your part with a most handsome steadfastness
70:6
Behold, they see it far away
70:8
The Day when the sky will melt away
70:9
And the mountains will become as flakes of wool
70:10
And a friend will not ask about his friend
70:11
Even though they will be within sight of one another. The guilty will desire to give his own children to ransom himself from suffering of the Day
70:12
And his wife and his brother
70:13
And his whole family and the tribe that raised and sheltered him
70:14
And all who lived on earth - all of them if then it might save him
70:15
But nay! Behold, it is a raging flame
70:16
That burns all coverings and defenses
70:17
It calls him who turned and fled from Truth
70:18
And hoarded wealth, and withheld it
70:19
Verily, man is created with an anxious disposition
70:20
Nervous when harm touches him
70:21
And niggardly when good reaches him
70:22
Except the MUSALLEEN. (Who are Musalleen? NOT the so-called ritualistic praying ones)
70:23
----- MUSALLEEN are those who always follow the Divine System
70:24
----- And in whose wealth and possessions is a KNOWN RIGHT
70:25
For him who asks for help, and for him who is deprived
70:26
----- (And Musalleen are) those who have conviction in the Day of Judgment. And hence, in the Law of Recompense
70:27
----- And those who are fearful of their Lord's Law of Requital
70:28
----- (They know that) Verily, their Lord's Law of Requital makes no exceptions, so that none can feel secure
70:29
----- Those men and women who preserve their chastity
70:30
----- They have intimate relations only with their spouses - that is, those who are rightfully theirs through wedlock. For such relationship they are free of blame. ('Aw' = Or = That is = And. (23:5-7))
70:31
But anyone who seeks beyond this, those are the transgressors
70:32
----- (And Musalleen are those) who guard their trusts and duties assigned to them, and their pledges, as a shepherd guards his flock
70:33
----- And those who are truthful in witness and stand by their testimony
70:34
----- And those who consolidate and protect the Divine System
70:35
----- (Musalleen are the ones who collectively build it on earth and) inherit the Paradise in the Hereafter. Such are the honored ones
70:36
What, then, is the matter with the rejecters that they rush to and fro before you, confused? (Instead of joining hands)
70:37
On the right and on the left, in groups
70:38
Does everyone of them hope to enter the Garden of Bliss with this attitude
70:39
Nay! Verily, they know full well what potentials We created them with
70:40
But nay! I call to Witness the Lord of all points in the East and all points in the West, behold, We are Able
70:41
To replace them by others better than they are. For, there is nothing to prevent Us
70:42
Let them chat and play until they meet their Day which they are promised
70:43
The Day they shall come forth in haste from their dead states, as if racing toward a goal post
70:44
With their eyes subdued in shame, humiliation overwhelming them. Such is the Day which they were promised again and again
