|---|---|
| 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. |
