Length: 2 mins, 53 secs
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
70:1. A questioner questioned the imminent torment.
70:2. For the disbelievers; none can repel it.
70:3. From Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
70:4. Unto Him the angels and the Spirit ascend on a Day the duration of which is fifty thousand years.
70:5. So be patient, with sweet patience.
70:6. They see it distant.
70:7. But We see it near.
70:8. On the Day when the sky will be like molten brass.
70:9. And the mountains will be like tufted wool.
70:10. No friend will care about his friend.
70:11. They will be shown each other. The criminal wishes he would be redeemed from the punishment of that Day by his children.
70:12. And his spouse, and his brother.
70:13. And his family that sheltered him.
70:14. And everyone on earth, in order to save him.
70:15. By no means! It is a Raging Fire.
70:16. It strips away the scalps.
70:17. It invites him who once turned his back and fled.
70:18. And accumulated and hoarded.
70:19. Man was created restless.
70:20. Touched by adversity, he is fretful.
70:21. Touched by good, he is ungenerous.
70:22. Except the prayerful.
70:23. Those who are constant at their prayers.
70:24. And those in whose wealth is a rightful share.
70:25. For the beggar and the deprived.
70:26. And those who affirm the Day of Judgment.
70:27. And those who fear the punishment of their Lord.
70:28. Their Lord’s punishment is not to be taken for granted.
70:29. And those who guard their chastity.
70:30. Except from their spouses or those living under their control, for then they are free of blame.
70:31. But whoever seeks to go beyond that—these are the transgressors.
70:32. And those who honor their trusts and their pledges.
70:33. And those who stand by their testimonies.
70:34. And those who are dedicated to their prayers.
70:35. These will be honored in Gardens.
70:36. What is with those who disbelieve, stretching their necks towards you.
70:37. From the right, and from the left, banding together?
70:38. Is every one of them aspiring to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?
70:39. No indeed! We created them from what they know.
70:40. I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests, that We are Able.
70:41. To replace them with better than they, and We are not to be outdone.
70:42. So leave them to blunder and play, until they meet their Day which they are promised.
70:43. The Day when they will emerge from the tombs in a rush, as though they were hurrying towards a target.
70:44. Their eyes cast down; overwhelmed by humiliation. This is the Day which they were promised.
