A questioner asks about the chastisement to befall
The disbelievers -- there is none to avert it -
From Allah, Lord of the ways of Ascent
To Him ascend the angels and the Spirit in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years
So be patient with a goodly patience
Surely they see it far off
And We see it nigh
The day when the heaven is as molten brass
And the mountains are as wool
And no friend will ask of friend
(Though) they are made to see them. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by his children
And his wife and his brother
And his kin that gave him shelter
And all that are in the earth -- then deliver him -
By no means! Surely it is a flaming Fire
Plucking out the extremities -
It shall claim him who retreats and turns his back
And hoards then withholds
Surely man is created impatient -
Fretful when evil afflicts him
And niggardly when good befalls him -
Except those who pray
Who are constant at their prayer
And in whose wealth there is a known right
For the beggar and the destitute
And those who accept the truth of the day of Judgment
And those who are fearful of the chastisement of their Lord -
Surely the chastisement of their Lord is (a thing) not to be felt secure from -
And those who restrain their sexual passions
Except in the presence of their mates or those whom their right hands possess -- for such surely are not to be blamed
But he who seeks to go beyond this, these are the transgressors
And those who are faithful to their trusts and their covenant
And those who are upright in their testimonies
And those who keep a guard on their prayer
These are in Gardens, honoured
But what is the matter with those who disbelieve, that they hasten on to thee
On the right hand and on the left, in sundry parties
Does every man of them desire to be admitted to the Garden of bliss
By no means! Surely We have created them for what they know
But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Eastern lands and the Western lands! that We are certainly Powerfu
To bring in their place (others) better than them, and We shall not be overcome
So leave them alone to plunge in vain talk and to sport, until they come face to face with that day of theirs which they are promised -
The day when they come forth from the graves in haste, as hastening on to a goal
Their eyes cast down, disgrace covering them. Such is the day which they are promised
