[[1,"A challenger has demanded a punishment bound to come"],[2,"for the disbelievers—to be averted by none—"],[3,"from Allah, Lord of pathways of ˹heavenly˺ ascent,"],[4,"˹through which˺ the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit will ascend to Him on a Day fifty thousand years in length."],[5,"So endure ˹this denial, O Prophet,˺ with beautiful patience."],[6,"They truly see this ˹Day˺ as impossible,"],[7,"but We see it as inevitable."],[8,"On that Day the sky will be like molten brass"],[9,"and the mountains like ˹tufts of˺ wool."],[10,"And no close friend will ask ˹about˺ their friends,"],[11,"˹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,"],[12,"their spouses, their siblings,"],[13,"their clan that sheltered them,"],[14,"and everyone on earth altogether, just to save themselves."],[15,"But no! There will certainly be a raging Flame"],[16,"ripping off scalps."],[17,"It will summon whoever turned their backs ˹on Allah˺ and turned away ˹from the truth˺,"],[18,"and gathered and hoarded ˹wealth˺."],[19,"Indeed, humankind was created impatient:"],[20,"distressed when touched with evil,"],[21,"and withholding when touched with good—"],[22,"except those who pray,"],[23,"consistently performing their prayers;"],[24,"and who give the rightful share of their wealth"],[25,"to the beggar and the poor;"],[26,"and who ˹firmly˺ believe in the Day of Judgment;"],[27,"and those who fear the punishment of their Lord—"],[28,"˹knowing that˺ none should feel secure from their Lord’s punishment—"],[29,"and those who guard their chastity"],[30,"except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, for then they are free from blame,"],[31,"but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors."],[32,"˹The faithful are˺ also those who are true to their trusts and covenants;"],[33,"and who are honest in their testimony;"],[34,"and who are ˹properly˺ observant of their prayers."],[35,"These will be in Gardens, held in honour."],[36,"So what is the matter with the disbelievers that they rush ˹head-long˺ towards you ˹O Prophet˺,"],[37,"from the right and the left, in groups ˹to mock you˺?"],[38,"Does every one of them expect to be admitted into a Garden of Bliss?"],[39,"But no! Indeed, they ˹already˺ know what We created them from."],[40,"So, I do swear by the Lord of ˹all˺ the points of sunrise and sunset that We are truly capable"],[41,"of replacing them with ˹others˺ better than them, and We cannot be prevented ˹from doing so˺."],[42,"So let them indulge ˹in falsehood˺ and amuse ˹themselves˺ until they face their Day, which they have been threatened with—"],[43,"the Day they will come forth from the graves swiftly, as if racing to an idol ˹for a blessing˺,"],[44,"with eyes downcast, utterly covered with disgrace. That is the Day they have ˹always˺ been warned of."]]
