In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
	1		[ 70: 1 ] A questioner may question the inevitable retribution.
	2		[ 70: 2 ] For the disbelievers, none can stop it.
	3		[ 70: 3 ] From GOD; Possessor of the highest Height.
	4		[ 70: 4 ] The angels, with their reports, climb to Him in a day that equals fifty thousand years.
	5		[ 70: 5 ] Therefore, you shall resort to a gracious patience.
	6		[ 70: 6 ] For they see it far away.
	7		[ 70: 7 ] While we see it very close.
	8		[ 70: 8 ] The day will come when the sky will be like molten rocks.
	9		[ 70: 9 ] The mountains will be like fluffy wool.
	10		[ 70: 10 ] No friend will care about his close friend.
	11		[ 70: 11 ] When they see them, the guilty will wish he could give his own children as ransom, to spare him the retribution of that day.
	12		[ 70: 12 ] Also his spouse, and his brother.
	13		[ 70: 13 ] Even his whole tribe that raised him.
	14		[ 70: 14 ] Even all the people on earth, if it would save him.
	15		[ 70: 15 ] No; it is aflame.
	16		[ 70: 16 ] Eager to burn.
	17		[ 70: 17 ] It calls on those who turned away.
	18		[ 70: 18 ] Those who hoarded and counted.
	19		[ 70: 19 ] Indeed, the human being is anxious.
	20		[ 70: 20 ] If touched by adversity, despondent.
	21		[ 70: 21 ] If blessed by wealth, stingy.
	22		[ 70: 22 ] Except for the worshipers.
	23		[ 70: 23 ] Who always observe their contact prayers ( Salat ).
	24		[ 70: 24 ] Part of their money is set aside.
	25		[ 70: 25 ] For the poor and the needy.
	26		[ 70: 26 ] They believe in the Day of Judgment.
	27		[ 70: 27 ] They reverence their Lord's requital.
	28		[ 70: 28 ] Their Lord's requital is not taken for granted.
	29		[ 70: 29 ] They keep their chastity.
	30		[ 70: 30 ] ( They have relations ) only with their spouses, or what is legally theirs -
	31		[ 70: 31 ] anyone who transgresses these limits is a sinner.
	32		[ 70: 32 ] And the believers keep their word; they are trustworthy.
	33		[ 70: 33 ] Their testimony is truthful.
	34		[ 70: 34 ] They consistently observe their contact prayers ( Salat ) on time.
	35		[ 70: 35 ] They have deserved a position of honor in Paradise.
	36		[ 70: 36 ] What is keeping those who disbelieved from joining you?
	37		[ 70: 37 ] To the right, and to the left, they flee.
	38		[ 70: 38 ] How can any of them expect to enter the blissful Paradise?
	39		[ 70: 39 ] Never; we created them, and they know from what.
	40		[ 70: 40 ] I solemnly swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests; we are able -
	41		[ 70: 41 ] to substitute better people in your place; we can never be defeated.
	42		[ 70: 42 ] Therefore, let them blunder and play, until they meet the day that is awaiting them.
	43		[ 70: 43 ] That is the day they come out of the graves in a hurry, as if herded to the ( sacrificial ) altars.
	44		[ 70: 44 ] With their eyes subdued, shame will cover them. That is the day that is awaiting them.
