Read in Context

Chapter 70, Page 569, Juz 29

1. A beseecher besought the visitation of chastisement, 2. (a chastisement meant) for the unbelievers, one which none can avert; 3. a chastisement from Allah, the Lord of the ascending steps, 4. by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in one Day the duration of which is fifty thousand years. 5. So, (O Prophet), persevere with gracious perseverance. 6. Verily they think that the chastisement is far off, 7. while We think that it is near at hand. 8. It shall befall on a Day whereon the sky will become like molten brass, 9. and the mountains will become like dyed tufts of wool, 10. and no bosom friend will enquire about any of his bosom friends 11. although they shall be within sight of one another. The guilty one would fain ransom himself from the torment of that Day by offering his children, 12. and his spouse and his brother, 13. and his kinsfolk who had stood by him, 14. and all persons of the earth, if only he could thus save himself. 15. By no means! It will be the fierce flame 16. that will strip off the scalp. 17. It shall insistently summon him who turned his back and retreated, 18. and amassed wealth and covetously hoarded it.

- A. Maududi (Tafhim commentary)
