| 1. * | A questioner may question the inevitable retribution. |
| 2. * | For the disbelievers, none can stop it. |
| 3. * | From GOD; Possessor of the highest Height. |
| 4. * | The angels, with their reports, climb to Him in a day that equals fifty thousand years. |
| 5. * | Therefore, you shall resort to a gracious patience. |
| 6. * | KHALIFA:For they see it far away. |
| 7. * | While we see it very close. |
| 8. * | The day will come when the sky will be like molten rocks. |
| 9. * | The mountains will be like fluffy wool. |
| 10. * | KHALIFA:No friend will care about his close friend. |
| 11. * | When they see them, the guilty will wish he could give his own children as ransom, to spare him the retribution of that day. |
| 12. * | Also his spouse, and his brother |
| 13. * | Even his whole tribe that raised him. |
| 14. * | Even all the people on earth, if it would save him. |
| 15. * | No; it is aflame. |
| 16. * | KHALIFA:Eager to burn. |
| 17. * | It calls on those who turned away. |
| 18. * | Those who hoarded and counted. |
| 19. * | Indeed, the human being is anxious. |
| 20. * | If touched by adversity, despondent. |
| 21. * | If blessed by wealth, stingy. |
| 22. * | Except for the worshipers. |
| 23. * | Who always observe their contact prayers (Salat). |
| 24. * | Part of their money is set aside. |
| 25. * | For the poor and the needy |
| 26. * | They believe in the Day of Judgment. |
| 27. * | They reverence their Lord's requital. |
| 28. * | Their Lord's requital is not taken for granted. |
| 29. * | They keep their chastity. |
| 30. * | (They have relations) only with their spouses, or what is legally theirs - |
| 31. * | anyone who transgresses these limits is a sinner. |
| 32. * | And the believers keep their word; they are trustworthy. |
| 33. * | Their testimony is truthful. |
| 34. * | They consistently observe their contact prayers (Salat) on time. |
| 35. * | They have deserved a position of honor in Paradise. |
| 36. * | What is keeping those who disbelieved from joining you? |
| 37. * | To the right, and to the left, they flee. |
| 38. * | How can any of them expect to enter the blissful Paradise? |
| 39. * | Never; we created them, and they know from what. |
| 40. * | I solemnly swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests; we are able - |
| 41. * | KHALIFA:to substitute better people in your place; we can never be defeated. |
| 42. * | Therefore, let them blunder and play, until they meet the day that is awaiting them. |
| 43. * | That is the day they come out of the graves in a hurry, as if herded to the (sacrificial) altars. |
| 44. * | With their eyes subdued, shame will cover them. That is the day that is awaiting them. |
