Yusuf Ali
A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall-
Yusuf Ali
The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-
Yusuf Ali
(A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
Yusuf Ali
The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:
Yusuf Ali
Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment).
Yusuf Ali
They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):
Yusuf Ali
But We see it (quite) near.
Yusuf Ali
The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,
Yusuf Ali
And the mountains will be like wool,
Yusuf Ali
And no friend will ask after a friend,
Yusuf Ali
Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner´s desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
Yusuf Ali
His wife and his brother,
Yusuf Ali
His kindred who sheltered him,
Yusuf Ali
And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him:
Yusuf Ali
By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-
Yusuf Ali
Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-
Yusuf Ali
Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).
Yusuf Ali
And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
Yusuf Ali
Truly man was created very impatient;-
Yusuf Ali
Fretful when evil touches him;
