Quran 70
This is Quran chapter 70
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
A questioner asked for a punishment that must befall, to the disbelievers; there is no repelling it; from God, Lord of the ascents. The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose measure is fifty thousand years.
So be patient with fair patience; indeed, they see it far off, but We see it near!
The day the heaven shall be as molten brass, and the mountains shall be like flakes of wool; and no warm friend shall question warm friend; they shall gaze on each other, the sinner will wish that he might ransom himself from the punishment of that day by his children, and his mate, and his brother, and his kin who sheltered him, and whoever is in the earth, all together, then it might rescue him!
Nay indeed, it is a flame, - dragging by the scalp! Calling those who retreated and turned their backs and amassed and hoarded!
Indeed, man was created anxious! When evil touches him, impatient; and when good touches him niggardly; except those who pray, who are constant at their prayers, and those in whose wealth is a known right for the one who asks and him who is kept from asking, and those who accept the truth of the day of judgment, and those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord; - indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe; - and those who guard their private parts, except for their wives or what their righthands possess, then indeed, they are not to be blamed; but whoever craves beyond that, then they are the transgressors; and those who observe their trusts and their covenants, and those who are upright in their testimonies, and those who keep their prayers, these shall dwell in gardens honoured.
What ails the disbelievers, hastening before you, crowding together on the right and on the left? Does every man of them wish to enter a garden of pleasure?
Nay! Indeed, We created them of what they know!
But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests; indeed, We are able to change them with better than them, and We are not to be outrun.
So leave them to converse vainly, and to play until they meet their day which they are promised, the day they shall come forth in haste from the graves, as though they flock to a standard! Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the day which they were promised!
