A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall-
|
|
|
|
2:
The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-
|
|
|
|
3:
(A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
|
|
|
|
4:
The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:
|
|
|
|
5:
Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment).
|
|
|
|
6:
They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):
|
|
|
|
7:
But We see it (quite) near.
|
|
|
|
8:
The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,
|
|
|
|
9:
And the mountains will be like wool,
|
|
|
|
10:
And no friend will ask after a friend,
|
|
|

Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
|
|
|
|
12:
His wife and his brother,
|
|
|
|
13:
His kindred who sheltered him,
|
|
|
|
14:
And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him:
|
|
|
|
15:
By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-
|
|
|
|
16:
Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-
|
|
|
|
17:
Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).
|
|
|
|
18:
And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
|
|
|
|
19:
Truly man was created very impatient;-
|
|
|
|
20:
Fretful when evil touches him;
|
|
|
|
21:
And niggardly when good reaches him;-
|
|
|
|
22:
Not so those devoted to Prayer;-
|
|
|
|
23:
Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;
|
|
|
|
24:
And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
|
|
|
|
25:
For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
|
|
|
|
26:
And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
|
|
|
|
27:
And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,-
|
|
|
|
28:
For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;-
|
|
|
|
29:
And those who guard their chastity,
|
|
|
|
30:
Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,
|
|
|
|
31:
But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;-
|
|
|
|
32:
And those who respect their trusts and covenants;
|
|
|
|
33:
And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
|
|
|
|
34:
And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-
|
|
|
|
35:
Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
|
|
|
|
36:
Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-
|
|
|
|
37:
From the right and from the left, in crowds?
|
|
|
|
38:
Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
|
|
|
|
39:
By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
|
|
|
|
40:
Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly-
|
|
|
|
41:
Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).
|
|
|
|
42:
So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!-
|
|
|
|
43:
The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),-
|
|
|
|
44:
Their eyes lowered in dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised!
