[1] A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen
[2] To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.
[3] [It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent.
[4] The angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.
[5] So be patient with gracious patience.
[6] Indeed, they see it [as] distant,
[7] But We see it [as] near.
[8] On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,
[9] And the mountains will be like wool,
[10] And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,
[11] They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children
[12] And his wife and his brother
[13] And his nearest kindred who shelter him
[14] And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.
[15] No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],
[16] A remover of exteriors.
[17] It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]
[18] And collected [wealth] and hoarded.
[19] Indeed, mankind was created anxious:
[20] When evil touches him, impatient,
[21] And when good touches him, withholding [of it],
[22] Except the observers of prayer -
[23] Those who are constant in their prayer
[24] And those within whose wealth is a known right
[25] For the petitioner and the deprived -
[26] And those who believe in the Day of Recompense
[27] And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -
[28] Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -
[29] And those who guard their private parts
[30] Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -
[31] But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -
[32] And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
[33] And those who are in their testimonies upright
[34] And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:
[35] They will be in gardens, honored.
[36] So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],
[37] [To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?
[38] Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?
[39] No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.
[40] So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
[41] To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
[42] So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -
[43] The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
[44] Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
