70:1
A SCEPTIC² once demanded that punishment be visite
70:2
forthwith upon the unbelievers. No power can hinde
70:3
God from punishing them. He is the Lord of the Stairways
70:4
whereby the angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him in one day whose space is fifty thousand years
70:5
Therefore conduct yourself with becoming patience
70:6
They think the Day of Judgement is far off
70:7
but We see it near at hand
70:8
On that day the sky shall become like molten brass
70:9
and the mountains like tufts of wool scattered in the wind
70:10
No bosom friend shall ask a bosom friend when eye meets eye
70:11
To redeem himself from the torment of that day the sinner will gladly sacrifice his children
70:12
his consort, his brother
70:13
the kin who gave him shelter
70:14
and all that are on the earth, if then this might deliver him
70:15
But no! The fire of Hel
70:16
shall drag him down by the scalp
70:17
shall claim him who had turned his bac
70:18
and amassed riches and covetously hoarded them
70:19
Indeed, man was created impatient
70:20
When evil befalls him he is despondent
70:21
but, blessed with good fortune, he grows niggardly
70:22
Not so the worshippers
70:23
who are steadfast in prayer
70:24
who set aside a due portion of their wealt
70:25
for the beggar and for the dispossessed
70:26
who truly believe in the Day of Reckoning
70:27
and dread the punishment of their Lor
70:28
(for none is secure from the punishment of their Lord)
70:29
who restrain their carnal desir
70:30
(save with their wives and slave-girls, for with these they are blameless
70:31
transgressors are those who lust after other than these)
70:32
who keep their trusts and promise
70:33
and bear true witness
70:34
and who attend to their prayers with promptitude
70:35
These shall be laden with honours, in fair Gardens
70:36
But what has befallen the unbelievers, that they scramble towards yo
70:37
in multitudes from right and left
70:38
Are they each seeking to enter a Garden of Delight
70:39
No! Of what We created them they know full well
70:40
I swear by the Lord of the easts and of the wests that We have the powe
70:41
to replace them by others better than they: nothing can hinder us from so doing
70:42
So let them paddle, let them play until they face the day they are promised
70:43
the day when they shall rush headlong from their graves
70:44
like men rallying to a standard, with downcast eyes and countenances distorted and abject. Such is the day they are promised
