In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

70.1: One demanding, demanded the chastisement which must befall

70.2: The unbelievers -- there is none to avert it --

70.3: From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent.

70.4: To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.

70.5: Therefore endure with a goodly patience.

70.6: Surely they think it to be far off,

70.7: And We see it nigh.

70.8: On the day when the heaven shall be as molten copper

70.9: And the mountains shall be as tufts of wool

70.10: And friend shall not ask of friend

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,

70.12: And his wife and his brother

70.13: And the nearest of his kinsfolk who gave him shelter,

70.14: And all those that are in the earth, (wishing) then (that) this might deliver him.

70.15: By no means! Surely it is a flaming fire

70.16: Dragging by the head,

70.17: It shall claim him who turned and fled (from truth),

70.18: And amasses (wealth) then shuts it up.

70.19: Surely man is created of a hasty temperament

70.20: Being greatly grieved when evil afflicts him

70.21: And niggardly when good befalls him

70.22: Except those who pray,

70.23: Those who are constant at their prayer

70.24: And those in whose wealth there is a fixed portion.

70.25: For him who begs and for him who is denied (good)

70.26: And those who accept the truth of the judgment day

70.27: And those who are fearful of the chastisement of their Lord --

70.28: Surely the chastisement of their Lord is (a thing) not to be felt secure of --

70.29: And those who guard their private parts,

70.30: Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess -- for these surely are not to be blamed,

70.31: But he who seeks to go beyond this, these it is that go beyond the limits --

70.32: And those who are faithful to their trusts and their covenant

70.33: And those who are upright in their testimonies,

70.34: And those who keep a guard on their prayer,

70.35: Those shall be in gardens, honored.

70.36: But what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten on around you,

70.37: On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties?

70.38: Does every man of them desire that he should be made to enter the garden of bliss?

70.39: By no means! Surely We have created them of what they know.

70.40: But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are certainly able

70.41: To bring instead (others) better than them, and We shall not be overcome.

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;

70.43: The day on which they shall come forth from their graves in haste, as if they were hastening on to a goal,

70.44: Their eyes cast down; disgrace shall overtake them; that is the day which they were threatened with.
