    70:20When evil touches him, impatient,

  21. وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ﴿٢١﴾

    70:21And when good touches him, withholding [of it],

  22. إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿٢٢﴾

    70:22Except the observers of prayer -

  27. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

    70:27And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord -

  28. إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ ﴿٢٨﴾

    70:28Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe -

  29. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ ﴿٢٩﴾

    70:29And those who guard their private parts

  30. إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾

    70:30Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed -

    70:31But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

  32. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ ﴿٣٢﴾

    70:32And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

  33. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَـٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ ﴿٣٣﴾

    70:33And those who are in their testimonies upright

  34. وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾

    70:34And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

  35. أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

    70:35They will be in gardens, honored.

  36. فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾

    70:36So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

  37. عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾

    70:37[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

  38. أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍ ﴿٣٨﴾

    70:38Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

  39. كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَـٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٩﴾

    70:39No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

  40. فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾

    70:40So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

  41. عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ﴿٤١﴾

    70:41To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.

  42. فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

    70:42So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

  43. يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

    70:43The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.

  44. خَـٰشِعَةً أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ﴿٤٤﴾

    70:44Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. That is the Day which they had been promised.
