| | In the name of God, the Almighty, the Most Merciful. | Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi |
| 070:001 | Someone asked about the inevitable retribution. | Saala sa-ilun biAAathabin waqiAAin |
| 070:002 | For the rejecters, there is nothing that will stop it. | Lilkafireena laysa lahu dafiAAun |
| 070:003 | From God, Possessor of the ascending portals. | Mina Allahi thee almaAAariji |
| 070:004 | The Angels and the Spirit ascent to Him in a day which is equivalent to fifty thousand years. | TaAAruju almala-ikatu waalrroohu ilayhi fee yawmin kana miqdaruhu khamseena alfa sanatin |
| 070:005 | So be patient with a good patience. | Faisbir sabran jameelan |
| 070:006 | They see it as far away. | Innahum yarawnahu baAAeedan |
| 070:007 | And We see it as near. | Wanarahu qareeban |
| 070:008 | On the Day the sky is like molten copper. | Yawma takoonu alssamao kaalmuhli |
| 070:009 | And the mountains are like wool. | Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni |
| 070:010 | And no friend will ask about his friend. | Wala yas-alu hameemun hameeman |
| 070:011 | When they see it, the criminal will wish he can ransom his children against the retribution. | Yubassaroonahum yawaddu almujrimu law yaftadee min AAathabi yawmi-ithin bibaneehi |
| 070:012 | As well as his mate and his brother. | Wasahibatihi waakheehi |
| 070:013 | As well as his whole clan that protected him. | Wafaseelatihi allatee tu/weehi |
| 070:014 | And all who are on Earth, so that he can be saved! | Waman fee al-ardi jameeAAan thumma yunjeehi |
| 070:015 | No, it is a flame. | Kalla innaha latha |
| 070:016 | Eager to roast. | NazzaAAatan lilshshawa |
| 070:017 | It calls on those who turned away. | TadAAoo man adbara watawalla |
| 070:018 | And who hoarded and counted. | WajamaAAa faawAAa |
| 070:019 | Indeed, mankind was created anxious. | Inna al-insana khuliqa halooAAan |
| 070:020 | When adversity touches him he is miserable. | Itha massahu alshsharru jazooAAan |
| 070:021 | And when good touches him he is stingy. | Wa-itha massahu alkhayru manooAAan |
| 070:022 | Except for those who reach out. | Illa almusalleena |
| 070:023 | Who are always maintaining their contact-method. | Allatheena hum AAala salatihim da-imoona |
| 070:024 | And those who set aside part of their wealth. | Waallatheena fee amwalihim haqqun maAAloomun |
| 070:025 | For the seeker and the denied. | Lilssa-ili waalmahroomi |
| 070:026 | And those who believe in the Day of Judgment. | Waallatheena yusaddiqoona biyawmi alddeeni |
| 070:027 | And those who are fearful of their Lord's retribution. | Waallatheena hum min AAathabi rabbihim mushfiqoona |
| 070:028 | The retribution of their Lord is not to be taken for granted. | Inna AAathaba rabbihim ghayru ma/moonin |
| 070:029 | And those who conceal their private parts. | Waallatheena hum lifuroojihim hafithoona |
| 070:030 | Except around their spouses or those committed to by oath, there is no blame. | Illa AAala azwajihim aw ma malakat aymanuhum fa-innahum ghayru maloomeena |
| 070:031 | Then, whoever seeks anything beyond this, they are the transgressors. | Famani ibtagha waraa thalika faola-ika humu alAAadoona |
| 070:032 | And those who are trustworthy and keep their pledges. | Waallatheena hum li-amanatihim waAAahdihim raAAoona |
| 070:033 | And those who uphold their testimonies. | Waallatheena hum bishahadatihim qa-imoona |
| 070:034 | And those who are dedicated to their contact-method. | Waallatheena hum AAala salatihim yuhafithoona |
| 070:035 | They will be honoured in paradises. | Ola-ika fee jannatin mukramoona |

## 36-44

| 070:036 | So what is wrong with the rejecters staring at you? | Famali allatheena kafaroo qibalaka muhtiAAeena |
| 070:037 | From the right and the left, in crowds? | AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali AAizeena |
| 070:038 | Does every one of them hope to enter a paradise of bliss? | AyatmaAAu kullu imri-in minhum an yudkhala jannata naAAeemin |
| 070:039 | No, We have created them from what they know. | Kalla inna khalaqnahum mimma yaAAlamoona |
| 070:040 | So I swear by the Lord of the east and the west that We are able. | Fala oqsimu birabbi almashariqi waalmagharibi inna laqadiroona |
| 070:041 | To replace them with better people, We can never be defeated. | AAala an nubaddila khayran minhum wama nahnu bimasbooqeena |
| 070:042 | So let them talk in vain and play, until they meet their Day which they are promised. | Fatharhum yakhoodoo wayalAAaboo hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee yooAAadoona |
| 070:043 | When they will come out of the graves in a rush, as if they are racing towards a goal. | Yawma yakhrujoona mina al-ajdathi siraAAan kaannahum ila nusubin yoofidoona |
| 070:044 | Their eyes are cast down, with shame covering them. This is the Day which they were promised. | KhashiAAatan absaruhum tarhaquhum thillatun thalika alyawmu allathee kanoo yooAAadoona |
