يُبَصَّرُونَهُمۡۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُ لَوۡ يَفۡتَدِي مِنۡ عَذَابِ يَوۡمِئِذِۭ بِبَنِيهِ ١١
˹although˺ they will be made to see each other. The wicked will wish to ransom themselves from the punishment of that Day by their children,
70:11
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ١٢
their spouses, their siblings,
70:12
وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي تُـٔۡوِيهِ ١٣
their clan that sheltered them,
70:13
وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ١٤
and everyone on earth altogether, just to save themselves.
70:14
كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ١٥
But no! There will certainly be a raging Flame
70:15
نَزَّاعَةٗ لِّلشَّوَىٰ ١٦
ripping off scalps.
70:16
تَدۡعُواْ مَنۡ أَدۡبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٧
It will summon whoever turned their backs ˹on Allah˺ and turned away ˹from the truth˺,
70:17
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوۡعَىٰٓ ١٨
and gathered and hoarded ˹wealth˺.
70:18
۞ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ١٩
Indeed, humankind was created impatient:
70:19
إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعٗا ٢٠
distressed when touched with evil,
70:20
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا ٢١
and withholding when touched with good—
70:21
إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ ٢٢
except those who pray,
70:22
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ دَآئِمُونَ ٢٣
consistently performing their prayers;
70:23
وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ ٢٤
and who give the rightful share of their wealth
70:24
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ٢٥
to the beggar and the poor;
70:25
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٢٦
and who ˹firmly˺ believe in the Day of Judgment;
70:26
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ ٢٧
and those who fear the punishment of their Lord—
70:27
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمۡ غَيۡرُ مَأۡمُونٖ ٢٨
˹knowing that˺ none should feel secure from their Lord’s punishment—
70:28
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِفُرُوجِهِمۡ حَٰفِظُونَ ٢٩
and those who guard their chastity1
70:29
إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ ٣٠
except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession,1 for then they are free from blame,
70:30
فَمَنِ ٱبۡتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡعَادُونَ ٣١
but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors.
70:31
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمۡ وَعَهۡدِهِمۡ رَٰعُونَ ٣٢
˹The faithful are˺ also those who are true to their trusts and covenants;
70:32
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمۡ قَآئِمُونَ ٣٣
and who are honest in their testimony;
70:33
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُونَ ٣٤
and who are ˹properly˺ observant of their prayers.
70:34
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي جَنَّٰتٖ مُّكۡرَمُونَ ٣٥
These will be in Gardens, held in honour.
70:35
فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهۡطِعِينَ ٣٦
So what is the matter with the disbelievers that they rush ˹head-long˺ towards you ˹O Prophet˺,
70:36
عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ٣٧
from the right and the left, in groups ˹to mock you˺?1
70:37
أَيَطۡمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُدۡخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٖ ٣٨
Does every one of them expect to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?
70:38
كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٩
But no! Indeed, they ˹already˺ know what We created them from.1
70:39
