70:1
A questioner asked for a punishment bound to happen.
70:2
For the unbelievers, there is none to avert it.
70:3
From God, the Lord of the ascending pathways.
70:4
The angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him, on a Day that spans fifty thousand years.
70:5
So, be patient with a beautiful patience.
70:6
They perceive it as far off.
70:7
But We see it as near.
70:8
On that Day, the sky will resemble molten copper.
70:9
And the mountains will appear like tufts of wool.
70:10
No friend will ask of a friend.
70:11
Although they will be shown to each other, the criminal would wish to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by offering his children.
70:12
And his girlfriend and his brother.
70:13
And his family that sheltered him.
70:14
And everyone on earth, entirely so, then it could save him.
70:15
No indeed! It is a blazing flame.
70:16
Snatching away the scalps.
70:17
Calling those who turned their backs and fled.
70:18
And hoarded and stored away.
70:19
Man was created anxious.
70:20
Agitated when misfortune touches him.
70:21
And tight-fisted when good reaches him.
70:22
Except for those who pray.
70:23
Who remain constant in their prayers.
70:24
And in whose wealth is a known right.
70:25
For the asker and the deprived.
70:26
And those who affirm the Day of Judgment.
70:27
And those who dread their Lord’s punishment.
70:28
Their Lord’s punishment isn’t to be underestimated.
70:29
And those who guard their purity.
70:30
Except for their spouses and those they rightfully possess, for then they are not to be blamed.
70:31
But those who seek anything beyond that are the trespassers.
70:32
And those who keep to their trusts and covenants.
70:33
And those who stand by their testimonies.
70:34
And those who are diligent in their prayers.
70:35
These will be in Gardens, honored.
70:36
So, why do these unbelievers suddenly rush towards you, from every direction?
70:37
From the right and from the left, in droves?
70:38
Does each one of them aspire to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?
70:39
No indeed! We created them from what they know.
70:40
By the Lord of the sunrises and the sunsets, We are capable.
70:41
Of replacing them with others better than them. We are not overtaken.
70:42
So, let them indulge and play until they encounter their promised Day.
70:43
The Day they will rush out from the graves, as if they were racing towards a goal post.
70:44
Their eyes will be downcast, humiliation will overshadow them. This the Day which they were being promised.
