The Ascending Stairways
A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen
To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.
[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.
The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.
So be patient with gracious patience.
Indeed, they see it [as] distant,
But We see it [as] near.
On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,
And the mountains will be like wool,
And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,
