    And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

    So as for he who transgressed

    79:37
  38. وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

    And preferred the life of the world,

    But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

    79:40
  41. فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

    Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

    79:41
  42. يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا

    79:42
  43. فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ

    In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

    79:43
  44. إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

    To your Lord is its finality.

    79:44
  45. إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا

    You are only a warner for those who fear it.

    79:45
  46. كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

    It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
