1
The inquirer asked about the inevitable punishment
2
for the unbelievers that nobody can avert.
3
It is from God, the Lord of the Steps
4
by which the Angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day of fifty thousand years.
5
So, endure with gracious endurance!
6
Indeed, they see [the Day of Judgment] far away,
8
This is the Day when the sky shall be like melted copper
9
and the mountains like carded wool,
10
Then a friend will not ask about [his] friend,
11
albeit they will be in sight of each other. The wrong-doer will want to avoid the punishment of that Day [at the price of] his children,
12
his spouse and his brother,
13
the family that shelters him,
14
and all of mankind, just to save himself.
15
But no! The raging Fire
16
shall scorch his scalp
17
and shall reclaim those who turned around and ran away,
18
who hoarded and concealed.
19
Verily, man was created restless!
20
He is fretful when touched by evil
21
and miserly when touched by success.
22
But not those who pray,
23
who are steadfast in their devotions
24
and share their possessions
25
with the asking and the poor.
26
They believe in the Day of Judgment
27
and fear the punishment of their Lord.
28
Verily, their Lord’s displeasure deprives them of peace!
29
They reserve their impulses
30
for their wives and their slaves, and are blameless!
