A questioner asked you about the punishment which is bound to happen
It is for the disbelievers and there is none to avert it
It will come from Allah, the Owner of the Ways of Ascent
The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years
Therefore, endure with graceful patience
They see it (Day of Judgment) to be far-off
but We see it quite near
On that Day, the sky shall become like molten bras
and the mountains like tufts of wool
even a close friend will not ask of his friend
though they will see each other. To save himself from the punishment of that Day, the culprit (disbeliever) will wish to give his children
his wife, his brother
his relatives who gave him shelter
and all that is in the earth, in ransom to save himself
By no means! It will be the fire of hell
eager to pluck out his skull
it will be calling all those who try to escape and turn their back
who collected wealth and withheld it
Indeed, man has been created impatient
when evil befalls him, he becomes despondent
but when blessed with good fortune, he becomes stingy
with the exception of those who offer the Salah (prayer)
remain steadfast in their Salah (prayer)
set aside a due share in their wealth
for the beggars and the deprived
accept the truth of the Day of Judgment
dread the punishment of their Lor
- for none is secure from the punishment of their Lord
and guard their private parts
except from their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for in their case they are not blameworthy
As for those who seek to go beyond this, they are transgressors
Those who keep their trusts and honor their promises
who stand firm in their testimonie
and strictly guard their Salah (prayers)
It is they who shall live with honor in paradise
What is the matter with the disbelievers that they are rushing towards you
from the right and from the left, in groups
Are they each seeking to enter the garden of bliss
By no means! Surely, We have created them out of that what they (unbelievers) know
But nay! I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests, that We have the power
to destroy them and replace them with others better than them, and nothing can hinder Us from doing so
Therefore, leave them to plunge in vain talk and blunder about until they face that Day of theirs which they are being promised
The Day when they shall rush forward from their graves, as if they were racing towards a goal, with downcast eyes and countenances distorted with shame
Such will be the Day, which they are being promised
