1
A man (mockingly) demanded the punishment.
2
It will fall on the disbelieversnone can deflect it
3
from God, the Lord of the Ways of Ascent,
4
by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him, on a Day whose length is fifty thousand years.
5
So be patient, (Prophet), as befits you.
6
The disbelievers think it is distant,
7
but We know it to be close.
8
On a Day when the heavens will be like molten brass
9
and the mountains like tufts of wool,
10
when no friend will ask about his friend,
11
even when they are within sight of one another. The guilty person will wish he could save himself from the suffering of that Day by sacrificing his sons,
12
his spouse, his brother,
13
the kinsfolk who gave him shelter,
14
and everyone on earth, if it could save him.
15
But no! There is a raging flame
16
that strips away the skin,
17
and it will claim everyone who rejects the truth, turns away,
18
amasses wealth and hoards it.
19
Man was truly created anxious:
20
he is fretful when misfortune touches him,
21
but tight-fisted when good fortune comes his way.
23
and are constant in their prayers;
24
who give a due share of their wealth
25
to beggars and the deprived;
26
who believe in the Day of Judgement
27
and fear the punishment of their Lord
28
none may feel wholly secure from it
29
who guard their chastity
30
from all but their spouses or their slave-girlsthere is no blame attached to (relations with) these,
