Al-Ma'arij

A beseecher besought the visitation of chastisement,

(a chastisement meant) for the unbelievers, one which none can avert;

a chastisement from Allah, the Lord of the ascending steps,

by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in one Day the duration of which is fifty thousand years.

So, (O Prophet), persevere with gracious perseverance.

Verily they think that the chastisement is far off,

while We think that it is near at hand.

It shall befall on a Day whereon the sky will become like molten brass,

and the mountains will become like dyed tufts of wool,

and no bosom friend will enquire about any of his bosom friends
