English - Chapter 70 - Al-Maarij

Someone has (needlessly) demanded to experience the torment (of God)

which will inevitably seize the disbelievers

No one can defend him against God, the Lord of the exalted positions

On that Day (of Judgment), long as fifty thousand years, the angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him

(Muhammad), exercise patience with no complaints

They think that it (the Day of Judgment) is far away

but We see it to be very near

On the day when the heavens become like molten metal

and the mountains become like wool

even intimate friends will not inquire about their friends

though they may see each other. A sinner will wish that he could save himself from the torment of that day by sacrificing his children

his wife, his brother

his kinsmen who gave him refuge (from hardship)

and all those on earth

By no means! For the raging flames of the fire

will strip-off the flesh

and drag into it anyone who has turned away (from obeying God)

and who accumulated wealth without spending it for a good purpose

Human beings are created greedy

When they are afflicted, they complain

but when they are fortunate, they become niggardly

except those who are steadfast

and constant in their prayers

They are those who assign a certain share of their property

for the needy and the deprived

who acknowledge the Day of Judgment

who are afraid of the torment of their Lord

the punishment of their Lord is not something for them to feel secure of

who guard their carnal desires

except from their wives and slave girls, in which case they are not to be blamed

but whoever goes beyond this is a transgressor

who honor their trust and promises

who testify to what they have witnessed

and (finally) those who do not miss their ritual - prayers at the prescribed times

such people will receive due honor in Paradise

What is wrong with the disbelievers who roam around you (Muhammad)

left and right, in numerous groups

Does every one of them desire to enter the bountiful Paradise

By no means! For they know very well out of what We have created them (The human being's naturally growing from a living germ, without discipline and good deeds will not result in virtue)

I do not need to swear by the Lord of the eastern and western regions that We have certainly all the power

to replace them by a better people and none can challenge Our power

(Muhammad), leave them alone to dispute and play until they face the Day with which they have been threatened

the Day when they rush out of their graves as if racing towards a signpost

with their eyes cast down and covered by disgrace; the day about which they were promised
