Sarwar, Surah 70: The Ascending Stairways (Al-Ma'aarij)

Surahs

[1] Someone has (needlessly) demanded to experience the torment (of God),

[2] which will inevitably seize the disbelievers.

[3] No one can defend him against God, the Lord of the exalted positions.

[4] On that Day (of Judgment), long as fifty thousand years, the angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him.

[5] (Muhammad), exercise patience with no complaints.

[6] They think that it (the Day of Judgment) is far away.

[7] but We see it to be very near.

[8] On the day when the heavens become like molten metal.

[9] and the mountains become like wool,

[10] even intimate friends will not inquire about their friends,

[11] though they may see each other. A sinner will wish that he could save himself from the torment of that day by sacrificing his children,

[12] his wife, his brother,

[13] his kinsmen who gave him refuge (from hardship)

[14] and all those on earth.

[15] By no means! For the raging flames of the fire

[16] will strip-off the flesh

[17] and drag into it anyone who has turned away (from obeying God),

[18] and who accumulated wealth without spending it for a good purpose.

[19] Human beings are created greedy.

[20] When they are afflicted, they complain,

[21] but when they are fortunate, they become niggardly

[22] except those who are steadfast

[23] and constant in their prayers.

[24] They are those who assign a certain share of their property

[25] for the needy and the deprived,

[26] who acknowledge the Day of Judgment,

[27] who are afraid of the torment of their Lord,

[28] the punishment of their Lord is not something for them to feel secure of,

[29] who guard their carnal desires

[30] except from their wives and slave girls, in which case they are not to be blamed,

[31] but whoever goes beyond this is a transgressor;

[32] who honor their trust and promises,

[33] who testify to what they have witnessed,

[34] and (finally) those who do not miss their ritual - prayers at the prescribed times;

[35] such people will receive due honor in Paradise.

[36] What is wrong with the disbelievers who roam around you (Muhammad),

[37] left and right, in numerous groups?

[38] Does every one of them desire to enter the bountiful Paradise?

[39] By no means! For they know very well out of what We have created them (The human being's naturally growing from a living germ, without discipline and good deeds will not result in virtue).

[40] I do not need to swear by the Lord of the eastern and western regions that We have certainly all the power

[41] to replace them by a better people and none can challenge Our power.

[42] (Muhammad), leave them alone to dispute and play until they face the Day with which they have been threatened:

[43] the Day when they rush out of their graves as if racing towards a signpost,

[44] with their eyes cast down and covered by disgrace; the day about which they were promised.
