Read in Context

Chapter 70, Page 568, Juz 29

1. A man [mockingly] demanded the punishment. 2. It will fall on the disbelievers––none can deflect it–– 3. from God, the Lord of the Ways of Ascent, 4. by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him, on a Day whose length is fifty thousand years. 5. So be patient, [Prophet], as befits you. 6. The disbelievers think it is distant, 7. but We know it to be close. 8. On a Day when the heavens will be like molten brass 9. and the mountains like tufts of wool, 10. when no friend will ask about his friend, 11. even when they are within sight of one another. The guilty person will wish he could save himself from the suffering of that Day by sacrificing his sons, 12. his spouse, his brother, 13. the kinsfolk who gave him shelter, 14. and everyone on earth, if it could save him. 15. But no! There is a raging flame 16. that strips away the skin, 17. and it will claim everyone who rejects the truth, turns away, 18. amasses wealth and hoards it.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
