| 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. |
