فَلَيۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٞ ٣٥
So this Day they will have no close friend here,
69:35
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِينٖ ٣٦
nor any food except ˹oozing˺ pus,
69:36
لَّا يَأۡكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡخَٰطِـُٔونَ ٣٧
which none will eat except the evildoers.”
69:37
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣٨
Now, I do swear by whatever you see,
69:38
وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣٩
and whatever you cannot see!
69:39
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ ٤٠
Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the recitation of a noble Messenger.
69:40
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ ٤١
It is not the prose of a poet ˹as you claim˺, ˹yet˺ you hardly have any faith.
69:41
وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٢
Nor is it the mumbling of a fortune-teller, ˹yet˺ you are hardly mindful.
69:42
تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٤٣
˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
69:43
وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ ٤٤
Had the Messenger made up something in Our Name,
69:44
لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ ٤٥
We would have certainly seized him by his right hand,
69:45
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ ٤٦
then severed his aorta,
69:46
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ٤٧
and none of you could have shielded him ˹from Us˺!
69:47
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤٨
Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is a reminder to those mindful ˹of Allah˺.
69:48
وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ٤٩
And We certainly know that some of you will persist in denial,
69:49
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٠
and it will surely be a source of regret for the disbelievers.
69:50
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ ٥١
And indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the absolute truth.
69:51
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٥٢
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
69:52
سَأَلَ سَآئِلُۢ بِعَذَابٖ وَاقِعٖ ١
A challenger1 has demanded a punishment bound to come
70:1
لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٞ ٢
for the disbelievers—to be averted by none—
70:2
مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلۡمَعَارِجِ ٣
from Allah, Lord of pathways of ˹heavenly˺ ascent,
70:3
تَعۡرُجُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥ خَمۡسِينَ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ ٤
˹through which˺ the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit1 will ascend to Him on a Day fifty thousand years in length.2
70:4
فَٱصۡبِرۡ صَبۡرٗا جَمِيلًا ٥
So endure ˹this denial, O Prophet,˺ with beautiful patience.
70:5
إِنَّهُمۡ يَرَوۡنَهُۥ بَعِيدٗا ٦
They truly see this ˹Day˺ as impossible,
70:6
وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا ٧
but We see it as inevitable.
70:7
يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ ٨
On that Day the sky will be like molten brass
70:8
وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٩
and the mountains like ˹tufts of˺ wool.
70:9
وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمٗا ١٠
And no close friend will ask ˹about˺ their friends,
70:10
