1

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

2

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer

3

[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent

4

The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years

5

So be patient with gracious patience

6

Indeed, they see it [as] distant

7

But We see it [as] near

8

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil

9

And the mountains will be like wool

10

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend

11

They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children

12

And his wife and his brother

13

And his nearest kindred who shelter him

14

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him

15

No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell]

16

A remover of exteriors

17

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

18

And collected [wealth] and hoarded

19

Indeed, mankind was created anxious

20

When evil touches him, impatient

21

And when good touches him, withholding [of it]

22

Except the observers of prayer

23

Those who are constant in their prayer

24

And those within whose wealth is a known right

25

For the petitioner and the deprived

26

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

27

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord

28

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe

29

And those who guard their private parts

30

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed

31

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors

32

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

33

And those who are in their testimonies upright

34

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer

35

They will be in gardens, honored

36

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad]

37

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups

38

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure

39

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know

40

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

41

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone

42

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised

43

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening

44

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised
