[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.
