| Mina Al-Lahi Dhī Al-Ma`āriji | َ070-003 (It shall come) from Allâh the Master of the ways of ascent; (which even enable a person to rise higher and higher, so why not solicit His grace?) | مِنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ |

| Kallā ۖ 'Innahā Lažá | َ070-015 By no means! (He can never be redeemed). Surely, it (- the punishment you are warned against) is a blazing Fire, | كَلاَّ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَى |
| Nazzā`atan Lilshshawá | َ070-016 Stripping off the skin even to the extremities (of the human body). | نَزَّاعَة ً لِلشَّوَى |

| 'Illā Al-Muşallīna | َ070-022 Different however is the case of those devoted to Prayers, | إِلاَّ الْمُصَلِّينَ |
| Al-Ladhīna Hum `Alá Şalātihim Dā'imūna | َ070-023 Those persons who remain constant and steadfast in their Prayers, | الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلاَتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ |

| 'Inna `Adhāba Rabbihim Ghayru Ma'mūnin | َ070-028 The fact is that the punishment of their Lord is not (a thing) to be felt secure from; | إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُون ٍ |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Lifurūjihim Ĥāfižūna | َ070-029 (Different as well is the case of) those who guard their private parts (by restraining their passions). | وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ |

| Famani Abtaghá Warā'a Dhālika Fa'ūlā'ika Humu Al-`Ādūna | َ070-031 But it is those who seek (to satisfy their lust) in any other way excepting that (of marriage) that are the transgressors. | فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَائِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Li'mānātihim Wa `Ahdihim Rā`ūna | َ070-032 And (different also is the case of) those persons who are watchful of their trusts and their covenants, | وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ |

| 'Ayaţma`u Kullu Amri'in Minhum 'An Yudkhala Jannata Na`īmin | َ070-038 Does each and every one of them covet to be admitted to the Garden of Bliss. | أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ امْرِئ ٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيم ٍ |
| Kallā ۖ 'Innā Khalaqnāhum Mimmā Ya`lamūna | َ070-039 No (never shall they enter it). We have created them for that substantial purpose (the worth of) which they know (- to discharge their obligations to God and mankind and to themselves). | كَلاَّ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُمْ مِمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ |
| Falā 'Uqsimu Birabbi Al-Mashāriqi Wa Al-Maghāribi 'Innā Laqādirūna | َ070-040 But nay! I call to witness the Lord of the easts and the wests. We are certainly Powerful | فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ الْمَشَارِقِ وَالْمَغَارِبِ إِنَّا لَقَادِرُونَ |
| `Alá 'An Nubaddila Khayrāan Minhum Wa Mā Naĥnu Bimasbūqīna | َ070-041 To change (them into) better beings than they are and that We can never be frustrated (in Our purpose). | عَلَى أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ خَيْرا ً مِنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ |
| Fadharhum Yakhūđū Wa Yal`abū Ĥattá Yulāqū Yawmahumu Al-Ladhī Yū`adūna | َ070-042 Therefore, leave them alone to indulge in unimportant conversation and to amuse themselves (in idle pursuits) until they meet that day of theirs that they are warned of, | فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّى يُلاَقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ |
| Yawma Yakhrujūna Mina Al-'Ajdāthi Sirā`āan Ka'annahum 'Ilá Nuşubin Yūfiđūna | َ070-043 The day when they (having risen to life) will come out hastily from their graves as though they were racing to a target (which they must meet). | يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعا ً كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى نُصُب ٍ يُوفِضُونَ |
| Khāshi`atan 'Abşāruhum Tarhaquhum Dhillatun ۚ Dhālika Al-Yawmu Al-Ladhī Kānū Yū`adūna | َ070-044 Their eyes will be downcast and shameful; humiliation will be overwhelming them.
