70:1
A questioner asks about the punishment to befall,
70:2
Those who reject (the truth), which cannot be averted,
70:3
From Allah, who owns all connections.
70:4
The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him on a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.
70:5
So have beautiful patience.
70:6
They see it far off.
70:7
And We see it close by.
70:8
On the day the sky will be like sludge.
70:9
And the mountains will be like wool.
70:10
And dear friends will ask another.
70:11
They see them, and the sinful would like to be ransomed from the punishment on that day by his children,
70:12
And his spouse and his brother,
70:13
And his family, which shelters him,
70:14
And all who are on earth, so he could be rescued.
70:15
But no, it is ablaze,
70:16
It tears away the flesh,
70:17
It calls whoever turned away and turned his back,
70:18
And hoarded and accumulated.
70:19
For man has been created impatient,
70:20
When harm afflicts him, he is anxious,
70:21
And when good afflicts him, he withholds,
70:22
Except those who pray,
70:23
Who are constant in their prayers,
70:24
And in whose wealth there is a known share,
70:25
For those who ask and are deprived,
70:26
And who confirm the day of repayment,
70:27
And who fear the punishment of their Lord,
70:28
For nobody is safe from the punishment of their Lord,
70:29
And who guard their chastity,
70:30
Except with regard to their partners or those in their possession, for then they are not to blame.
70:31
Then if anyone desires beyond that, then those exceed the limits.
70:32
And who look after their trust and agreements,
70:33
And who uphold their testimony,
70:34
And who guard their prayers,
70:35
They will be honoured in gardens.
70:36
So what is the matter with those who reject (the truth) that they run towards you,
70:37
In scattered groups from the right and the left?
70:38
Does every one of them hope to enter a garden of blessings?
70:39
But no, We created them from what they know.
70:40
But I swear by the Lord of the sunrises and sunsets that we are able,
70:41
To replace them with better than them, and We will not be outdone.
70:42
So leave them to busy themselves and play until they meet their promised day.
70:43
The day they will rapidly emerge from the graves as if they were racing towards a goal.
70:44
Their eyes downcast, covered in humiliation, that is the day they were promised.
