[1]ONE who is minded to ask might ask about the suffering which [in the hereafter] is bound to befall

[2]those who deny the truth. [Know, then, that] nothing can ward it off,

[3][since it will come] from God, unto whom there are many ways of ascent:

[4]all the angels and all the inspiration [ever granted to man] ascend unto Him [daily,] in a day the length whereof is [like] fifty thousand years…

[5]Therefore, [O believer,] endure all adversity with goodly patience:

[6]behold, men look upon that [reckoning] as something far away –

[7]but, We see it as near!

[8][It will take place] on a Day when the sky will be like molten lead,

[9]and the mountains will be like tufts of wool,

[10]and [when] no friend will ask about his friend,
