| Sura 70 Aya 1 to 44 | |||
| 1 | [ 70: 1 ] One demanding, demanded the chastisement which must befall | ||
| 2 | [ 70: 2 ] The unbelievers-- there is none to avert it-- | ||
| 3 | [ 70: 3 ] From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent. | ||
| 4 | [ 70: 4 ] To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years. | ||
| 5 | [ 70: 5 ] Therefore endure with a goodly patience. | ||
| 6 | [ 70: 6 ] Surely they think it to be far off, | ||
| 7 | [ 70: 7 ] And We see it nigh. | ||
| 8 | [ 70: 8 ] On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper | ||
| 9 | [ 70: 9 ] And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool | ||
| 10 | [ 70: 10 ] And friend shall not ask of friend | ||
| 11 | [ 70: 11 ] ( Though ) they shall be made to see each other. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by ( sacrificing ) his children, | ||
| 12 | [ 70: 12 ] And his wife and his brother | ||
| 13 | [ 70: 13 ] And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter, | ||
| 14 | [ 70: 14 ] And all those that are in the earth, ( wishing ) then ( that ) this might deliver him. | ||
| 15 | [ 70: 15 ] By no means! Surely it is a flaming fire | ||
| 16 | [ 70: 16 ] Dragging by the head, | ||
| 17 | [ 70: 17 ] It shall claim him who turned and fled ( from truth ), | ||
| 18 | [ 70: 18 ] And amasses ( wealth ) then shuts it up. | ||
| 19 | [ 70: 19 ] Surely man is created of a hasty temperament | ||
| 20 | [ 70: 20 ] Being greatly grieved when evil afflicts him | ||
| 21 | [ 70: 21 ] And niggardly when good befalls him | ||
| 22 | [ 70: 22 ] Except those who pray, | ||
| 23 | [ 70: 23 ] Those who are constant at their prayer | ||
| 24 | [ 70: 24 ] And those in whose wealth there is a fixed portion. | ||
| 25 | [ 70: 25 ] For him who begs and for him who is denied ( good ) | ||
| 26 | [ 70: 26 ] And those who accept the truth of the judgment day | ||
| 27 | [ 70: 27 ] And those who are fearful of the chastisement of their Lord-- | ||
| 28 | [ 70: 28 ] Surely the chastisement of their Lord is ( a thing ) not to be felt secure of-- | ||
| 29 | [ 70: 29 ] And those who guard their private parts, | ||
| 30 | [ 70: 30 ] Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess-- for these surely are not to be blamed, | ||
| 31 | [ 70: 31 ] But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits-- | ||
| 32 | [ 70: 32 ] And those who are faithful to their trusts and their covenant | ||
| 33 | [ 70: 33 ] And those who are upright in their testimonies, | ||
| 34 | [ 70: 34 ] And those who keep a guard on their prayer, | ||
| 35 | [ 70: 35 ] Those shall be in gardens, honored. | ||
| 36 | [ 70: 36 ] But what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten on around you, | ||
| 37 | [ 70: 37 ] On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties? | ||
| 38 | [ 70: 38 ] Does every man of them desire that he should be made to enter the garden of bliss? | ||
| 39 | [ 70: 39 ] By no means! Surely We have created them of what they know. | ||
| 40 | [ 70: 40 ] But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are certainly able | ||
| 41 | [ 70: 41 ] To bring instead ( others ) better than them, and We shall not be overcome. | ||
| 42 | [ 70: 42 ] Therefore leave them alone to go on with the false discourses and to sport until they come face to face with that day of theirs with which they are threatened; | ||
| 43 | [ 70: 43 ] The day on which they shall come forth from their graves in haste, as if they were hastening on to a goal, | ||
| 44 | [ 70: 44 ] Their eyes cast down; disgrace shall overtake them; that is the day which they were threatened with. | ||
