:11. Though they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
:12. His wife and his brother,
:13. His kindred who sheltered him,
:14. And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him:
:15. By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-
:16. Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-
:17. Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).
:18. And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
:19. Truly man was created very impatient;-
:20. Fretful when evil touches him;
:21. And niggardly when good reaches him;-
:22. Not so those devoted to Prayer;-
:23. Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;
:24. And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
:25. For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
:26. And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
:27. And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,-
:28. For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;-
:29. And those who guard their chastity,
:30. Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,
:31. But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;-
:32. And those who respect their trusts and covenants;
:33. And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
:34. And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-
:35. Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
:36. Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-
:37. From the right and from the left, in crowds?
:38. Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
:39. By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
