from God, the Lord of the Ways of Ascent
Translation 1260
by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him, on a Day whose length is fifty thousand years
Translation 1260

Translation 1260
but We know it to be close
Translation 1260
On a Day when the heavens will be like molten brass
Translation 1260
and the mountains like tufts of wool
Translation 1260
when no friend will ask about his friend

Translation 1260
who give a due share of their wealth
Translation 1260
to beggars and the deprived
