In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

A demander has demanded a torment, which must befall.

It is for the disbelievers. There is none to avert it.

It will come from that God Who is the Owner of the Steps of Ascent.

The angels and the Spirit ascend to His Presence in a day whose measure is fifty thousand years

So, have patience, O Prophet, a graceful patience.

They think it is far off,

but We see it as near at hand.

(The torment shall befall on the Day) when the heavens shall be like molten silver,

and the mountains like carded wool of different colors.

And no close friend shall ask after his close friend,

though they will be shown to each other. To save himself from the torment of that Day, the culprit shall wish to give his children,

his wife, his brother,

his kinsfolk who gave him shelter,

and all the people of the earth, in ransom that this device might rescue him.

No, never! It will be the flame of the blazing Fire,

that will eat up the very flesh.

It shall summon to itself every such person who drew away and turned his back

and amassed wealth and guarded it jealously.

Indeed, man has been created impatient.

When affliction befalls him, he becomes fretful,

and when good fortune falls to his lot he becomes stingy.

But those people (are an exception) who are the performers of salat.

Who are steadfast and ever constant in regard to their salat.

In whose wealth there is a due share

of the beggar and the needy.

Who believe in the reality of the Day of Recompense.

Who dread the torment of their Lord.

For from the torment of their Lord none can feel secure;

who guard their private parts.

Except with regard to their wives and those women who are legally in their possession, for in their case they are not blameworthy,

but those who go beyond this are indeed transgressors.

Who keep their trusts and honor their promises.

Who bear true witnesses.

And who strictly guard their salat.

These are they who shall live with honor in the Gardens of Paradise.
