70:6

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,

to top

 

Sahih International

Indeed, mankind was created anxious:

 

70:20

to top

 

Sahih International

When evil touches him, impatient,

 

70:21

to top

 

Sahih International

And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

 

70:22

to top

 

Sahih International

Except the observers of prayer -

 

70:23

to top

 

Sahih International

Those who are constant in their prayer

 

70:24

to top

 

Sahih International

And those within whose wealth is a known right

 

70:25

to top

 

Sahih International

For the petitioner and the deprived -

 

70:26

to top

 

Sahih International

And those who believe in the Day of Recompense

 

70:27

to top

 

Sahih International

And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

 

70:28

to top

 

Sahih International

Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

 

70:29

to top

 

Sahih International

And those who guard their private parts

 

70:30

to top

 

Sahih International

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

 

70:31

to top

 

Sahih International

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

 

70:32

to top

 

Sahih International

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

 

70:33

to top

 

Sahih International

And those who are in their testimonies upright

 

70:34

to top

 

Sahih International

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

 

70:35

to top

 

Sahih International

They will be in gardens, honored.

 

70:36

to top

 

Sahih International

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

 

70:37

to top

 

Sahih International

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

 

70:38

to top

 

Sahih International

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

 

70:39

to top

 

Sahih International

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

 

70:40

to top

 

Sahih International

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

 

70:41

to top

 

Sahih International

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

 

70:42

to top

 

Sahih International

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

 

70:43

to top

 

Sahih International

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

 

70:44

to top

 

Sahih International

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
