70:1
A petitioner asks about a penalty to befall…
70:2
…the unbelievers. [It is a penalty] which no one can avert.
70:3
[It is a penalty] from Allah, the Owner of the Staircase.
70:4
The angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a [cosmic] day, the measure of which is fifty thousand [Earth] years.
70:5
So be patient with a content patience.
70:6
(People) see (the last day) as far away,…
70:7
…but We see it as near.
70:8
That day the sky will look like molten metal.
70:9
The mountains will become like [fluffs of] wool.
70:10
[Out of dread] no friend will ask about another friend.
70:11
[That is] even if they are put in sight of one another. The [unforgiven] sinner will wish that he/she could redeem him-/herself from the penalty of that day with his/her children.
70:12
[He/she will wish for redemption by using] his/her spouse, his/her sibling,…
70:13
…his/her relatives who sheltered him/her,…
70:14
…and all else on the earth that might deliver him/her.
70:15
But no! There is only fire…
70:16
…plucking to the skull.
70:17
[The fire will be] inviting those who turned their backs and rejected [the truth]…
70:18
…and who amassed and hoarded.
70:19
Humanity tends to be impatient.
70:20
[He/she is] fretful when adversity befalls him/her.
70:21
[He/she is] stingy when fortune reaches him/her.
70:22
Those who worship are different.
70:23
They remain devoted in their prayer.
70:24
They recognize a right to their money…
70:25
…by anyone who asks [for charity] and any who are deprived.
70:26
They cling to the truth of the Day of Judgment.
70:27
They fear the punishment of their Lord.
70:28
Certainly your Lord’s displeasure is the opposite of calm.
70:29
They guard their modesty.
70:30
The exception is with their spouses and their wards. With them, they have no blame.
70:31
Those who go beyond this are sinners.
70:32
(The believers) honor their contracts and promises.
70:33
They are firm in their testimonies.
70:34
They are attentive in worship.
70:35
These will be honored in gardens.
70:36
[Sarcastically:] What is wrong with the unbelievers that they are making a mad dash before you?
70:37
[What is wrong that they come] in crowds, from the right and left?
70:38
Does everyone long to enter the garden of bliss?
70:39
No! Indeed, We have created them from what they know.
70:40
Now I do call to witness the Lord of All Risings and Settings that We can certainly…
70:41
…substitute for them better than they. We are not to be defeated.
70:42
Leave them to plunge into frivolous talk and silly frolic until they encounter their day promised to them.
70:43
On that day, they will proceed from their graves in sudden haste, as if they were rushing to a goalpost.
70:44
Their eyes will be downcast, and shame will cover them. Such is the day that they are promised!
