70:1
A skeptic was asking about torment that is bound to happen
70:2
to disbelievers; there will be no defence against it
70:3
[since it comes] from Allah (God) Who owns the staircases leading upward.
70:4
The angels and the Spirit will climb up to Him on a day whose range is fifty thousand years
70:5
So act patient with a handsome patience!
70:6
They consider it is far away
70:7
while We see it as nearby
70:8
on a day when the sky will be like molten brass
70:9
and the mountains like tufts of yarn.
70:10
No close friend will question any [other] friend;
70:11
they will merely give each other a knowing look. A criminal might like to ransom himself from that day's torment through his children,
70:12
his wife, a brother of his,
70:13
his family circle which has sheltered him,
70:14
and everyone who is on earth if [such action] might then save him.
70:15
Of course not; it would flare up
70:16
tugging at his scalp,
70:17
claiming anyone who tries to escape and turns away,
70:18
through saving (things and wealth) up and hoarding (them).
70:19
Man has been created restless,
70:20
so he panics whenever any evil touches him,
70:21
and withdraws when some good touches him;
70:22
except for the prayerful
70:23
who are constant at their prayers
70:24
and whose wealth comprises an acknowledged responsibility
70:25
towards the beggar and the destitute;
70:26
and the ones who accept the Day for Repayment,
70:27
and those who are apprehensive about their Lord's torment-
70:28
their Lord's torment is nothing to feel too safe from!
70:29
and the ones who preserve their chastity,
70:30
except with their own spouses or those living under their control; with such they are blameless.
70:31
Those who desire [to go] beyond that, will be going too far.
70:32
and the ones who preserve their trusts and oaths,
70:33
and the ones who stand by their testimony,
70:34
and the ones who attend to their prayer-
70:35
those will be honored in gardens. (ii)
70:36
Yet what is wrong with those who disbelieve, that they should try to dash on ahead of you
70:37
in batches to the right and on the left?
70:38
Does every man among them aspire to enter a Paradise of Bliss?
70:39
Of course not! We created them out of something they well know.
70:40
And I do swear by the Lord of the Eastern places [of sunrises] and the Western places [of sunrises] that We are Able
70:41
to replace them with someone better than they are. We shall never be overruled!
70:42
Leave them speculating and playing around until they face their day which they have been promised,
70:43
the day when they will hasten forth from their graves as if they were rushing towards some objective,
70:44
their eyesight cast down, disgrace overshadowing them on that day which they have been threatened with! 71. Noah
