Sahih International

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen1

Sahih International

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

Sahih International

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

Sahih International

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

Sahih International

So be patient with gracious patience.

Sahih International

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

Sahih International

But We see it [as] near.

Sahih International

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,1

Sahih International

And the mountains will be like wool,1

Sahih International

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

And his wife and his brother

Sahih International

And his nearest kindred who shelter him.

Sahih International

And whoever is on earth entirely [so] then it could save him.

Sahih International

No!1 Indeed, it is the Flame [of Hell],

Sahih International

A remover of exteriors.1

Sahih International

It invites he who turned his back [on truth] and went away [from obedience]

Sahih International

And collected [wealth] and hoarded.

Sahih International

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

Sahih International

When evil touches him, impatient,

Sahih International

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

Sahih International

Except the observers of prayer -

Sahih International

Those who are constant in their prayer

Sahih International

And those within whose wealth is a known right1

Sahih International

For the petitioner and the deprived -

Sahih International

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

Sahih International

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

Sahih International

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

Sahih International

And those who guard their private parts

Sahih International

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,1 for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

Sahih International

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

Sahih International

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive.

Sahih International

And those who are in their testimonies upright

Sahih International

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

Sahih International

They will be in gardens,1 honored.

Sahih International

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muḥammad],

Sahih International

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?1

Sahih International

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

Sahih International

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.1

Sahih International

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings1 that indeed We are able

Sahih International

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

Sahih International

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

Sahih International

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.1

Sahih International

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
