70:1
A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

70:2
To the disbelievers; there is no preventer of it.

70:3
[It is] from God, Owner of the ways of ascent.

70:4
The angels and the [Holy] Spirit will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

70:5
So be patient with gracious patience.

70:6
Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

70:7
But We see it [as] near.

70:8
On the Day, the heaven will be like molten copper, ^{~*Job 37:18}

70:9
And the mountains will be like wool,

70:10
And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

70:11
They will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children,

70:12
And his wife and his brother,

70:13
And his nearest kindred who shelter him,

70:14
And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him. ^{*Book of Jubilees 5:23, *Job 36:18 - 19}

70:15
No! Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

70:16
A remover of the scalp.

70:17
It invites he who turned his back and went away

70:18
And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

70:19
Indeed, mankind was created anxious -

70:20
[He is] impatient when evil touches him,

70:21
And [he is] withholding [of it] when good touches him,

70:22
Except those who pray -

70:23
Those who are constant in their prayer,

70:24
And those who [have] a known right within their wealth

70:25
For the one who asks and the deprived,

70:26
And those who accept the truth of the Day of the Religion,

70:27
And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

70:28
Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that which one is safe from.

70:29
And those who guard their private parts,

70:30
Except from their spouses or those they possess by oath, for indeed, they are not to be blamed;

70:31
But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors.

70:32
And those who are attentive to their trusts and promises,

70:33
And those who are upright in their testimonies,

70:34
And those who are watchful of their prayers -

70:35
They will be honored in Gardens.

70:36
So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, racing ahead toward you,

70:37
On [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

70:38
Does every person among them aspire to enter a Garden of Pleasure?

70:39
No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

70:40
So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

70:41
To replace them with [something] better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

70:42
So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

70:43
The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were hastening toward a stone altar.

70:44
Their eyes [will be] humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
