| Sa'ala Sā'ilun Bi`adhābin Wāqi`in | 070.001 A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall- |
| Lilkāfiryna Laysa Lahu Dāfi`un | 070.002 The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,- |
| Mina Al-Lahi Dhī Al-Ma`āriji | 070.003 (A Penalty) from God, Lord of the Ways of Ascent. |
| Ta`ruju Al-Malā'ikatu Wa Ar-Rūĥu 'Ilayhi Fī Yawmin Kāna Miqdāruhu Khamsīna 'Alfa Sanahin | 070.004 The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years: |
| Fāşbir Şabrāan Jamīlāan | 070.005 Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment). |
| 'Innahum Yarawnahu Ba`īdāan | 070.006 They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event): |
| Wa Narāhu Qarībāan | 070.007 But We see it (quite) near. |
| Yawma Takūnu As-Samā'u Kālmuhli | 070.008 The Day that the sky will be like molten brass, |
| Wa Takūnu Al-Jibālu Kāl`ihni | 070.009 And the mountains will be like wool, |
| Wa Lā Yas'alu Ĥamīmun Ĥamīmāan | 070.010 And no friend will ask after a friend, |
| Yubaşşarūnahum Yawaddu Al-Mujrimu Law Yaftadī Min `Adhābi Yawmi'idhin Bibanīhi | 070.011 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, |
| Wa Şāĥibatihi Wa 'Akhīhi | 070.012 His wife and his brother, |
| Wa Faşīlatihi Allatī Tu'uwyhi | 070.013 His kindred who sheltered him, |
| Wa Man Fī Al-'Arđi Jamī`āan Thumma Yunjīhi | 070.014 And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him: |
| Kallā 'Innahā Lažá | 070.015 By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!- |
| Nazzā`atan Lilshshawá | 070.016 Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!- |
| Tad`ū Man 'Adbara Wa Tawallá | 070.017 Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right). |
| Wa Jama`a Fa'aw`á | 070.018 And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)! |
| 'Inna Al-'Insāna Khuliqa Halū`āan | 070.019 Truly man was created very impatient;- |
| 'Idhā Massahu Ash-Sharru Jazū`āan | 070.020 Fretful when evil touches him; |
| Wa 'Idhā Massahu Al-Khayru Manū`āan | 070.021 And niggardly when good reaches him;- |
| 'Illā Al-Muşallīna | 070.022 Not so those devoted to Prayer;- |
| Al-Ladhīna Hum `Alá Şalātihim Dā'imūna | 070.023 Those who remain steadfast to their prayer; |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Fī 'Amwālihim Ĥaqqun Ma`lūmun | 070.024 And those in whose wealth is a recognised right. |
| Lilssā'ili Wa Al-Maĥrūmi | 070.025 For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking); |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Yuşaddiqūna Biyawmi Ad-Dīni | 070.026 And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment; |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Min `Adhābi Rabbihim Mushfiqūna | 070.027 And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,- |
| 'Inna `Adhāba Rabbihim Ghayru Ma'mūnin | 070.028 For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;- |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Lifurūjihim Ĥāfižūna | 070.029 And those who guard their chastity, |
| 'Illā `Alá 'Azwājihim 'Aw Mā Malakat 'Aymānuhum Fa'innahum Ghayru Malūmīna | 070.030 Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed, |
| Famani Abtaghá Warā'a Dhālika Fa'ūlā'ika Humu Al-`Ādūna | 070.031 But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;- |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Li'mānātihim Wa `Ahdihim Rā`ūna | 070.032 And those who respect their trusts and covenants; |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum Bishahādātihim Qā'imūna | 070.033 And those who stand firm in their testimonies; |
| Wa Al-Ladhīna Hum `Alá Şalātihim Yuĥāfižūna | 070.034 And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;- |
| 'Ūlā'ika Fī Jannātin Mukramūna | 070.035 Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss). |
| Famāli Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Qibalaka Muhţi`īna | 070.036 Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee- |
| `Ani Al-Yamīni Wa `Ani Ash-Shimāli `Izīna | 070.037 From the right and from the left, in crowds? |
| 'Ayaţma`u Kullu Amri'in Minhum 'An Yudkhala Jannata Na`īmin | 070.038 Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss? |
| Kallā 'Innā Khalaqnāhum Mimmā Ya`lamūna | 070.039 By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know! |
| Falā 'Uqsimu Birabbi Al-Mashāriqi Wa Al-Maghāribi 'Innā Laqādirūna | 070.040 Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly- |
| `Alá 'An Nubaddila Khayrāan Minhum Wa Mā Naĥnu Bimasbūqīna | 070.041 Substitute for them better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan). |
| Fadharhum Yakhūđū Wa Yal`abū Ĥattá Yulāqū Yawmahumu Al-Ladhī Yū`adūna | 070.042 So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!- |
| Yawma Yakhrujūna Mina Al-'Ajdāthi Sirā`āan Ka'annahum 'Ilá Nuşubin Yūfiđūna | 070.043 The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),- |
| Khāshi`atan 'Abşāruhum Tarhaquhum Dhillatun Dhālika Al-Yawmu Al-Ladhī Kānū Yū`adūna | 070.044 Their eyes lowered in dejection,- ignominy covering them (all over)! such is the Day the which they are promised! |
