A requester seeks the punishment that will take place
- Upon the disbelievers – the punishment that none can avert
From Allah, the Lord of all pinnacles
The angels and Jibreel, ascend towards Him – the punishment will befall on a day which spans fifty thousand years
Therefore patiently endure, in the best manner (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him)
They deem it to be remote
Whereas We see it impending
The day when the sky will be like molten silver
And the hills will be light as wool
And no friend will ask concerning his friend
They will be seeing them; the guilty will wish if only he could redeem himself from the punishment of that day, by offering his sons
And his wife and his brother
And the family in which he was
And all those who are in the earth - then only if the redemption saves him
Never! That is indeed a blazing fire
A fire that melts the hide
It calls out to him who reverted and turned away
And accumulated wealth and hoarded it
Indeed man is created very impatient, greedy
Very nervous when touched by misfortune
And refraining, when good reaches him
Except those who establish prayer
Those who are regular in their prayers
And those in whose wealth exists a recognised right
For those who beg, and for the needy who cannot even ask
And those who believe the Day of Judgement to be true
And those who fear the punishment of their Lord
Indeed the punishment of their Lord is not a thing to be unafraid of
And those who protect their private organs (from adultery)
Except with their wives and the bondwomen in their possession, for there is no reproach on them
So those who desire more than this – it is they who are the transgressors
And those who protect the property entrusted to them, and their agreements
And those who are firm upon their testimonies
And those who protect their prayers
It is these who will be honoured in Gardens
So what is the matter with these disbelievers, that they stare at you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him)
From the right and the left, in groups
Does every man among them aspire to be admitted into the Garden of serenity
Never! We have indeed created them from a thing they know
So I swear by the Lord of every East and every West, that We are indeed Able
To replace them by those better than them; and none can escape from Us
Therefore leave them, involved in their indecencies and play, till they confront their day which they are promised
A day when they will come out of the graves in haste, as if rushing towards their goals
With lowered eyes, disgrace overcoming them; this is the day, which they had been promised
