1
One demanding, demanded the chastisement which mustbefall
2
The unbelievers-- there is none to avert it--
3
From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent.
4
To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day themeasure of which is fifty thousand years.
5
Therefore endure with a goodly patience.
6
Surely they think it to be far off,
8
On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper
9
And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool
10
And friend shall not ask of friend
11
(Though) they shall be made to see each other. Theguilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisementof that day by (sacrificing) his children,
12
And his wife and his brother
13
And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter,
14
And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then(that) this might deliver him.
15
By no means! Surely it is a flaming fire
17
It shall claim him who turned and fled (from truth),
18
And amasses (wealth) then shuts it up.
19
Surely man is created of a hasty temperament
20
Being greatly grieved when evil afflicts him
21
And niggardly when good befalls him
22
Except those who pray,
23
Those who are constant at their prayer
24
And those in whose wealth there is a fixed portion.
25
For him who begs and for him who is denied (good)
26
And those who accept the truth of the judgment day
27
And those who are fearful of the chastisement of theirLord--
28
Surely the chastisement of their Lord is (a thing) notto be felt secure of--
29
And those who guard their private parts,
30
Except in the case of their wives or those whom theirright hands possess-- for these surely are not to be blamed,
