This surah gives nonbeleivers a chance to ascend to the higher way
˹through which˺ the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit
( Judgment Day will seem like 50 000 years for a disbeliever, but it will seem like a very short period for a believer. The Prophet (ﷺ) is reported in a ḥadîth collected by Imâm Aḥmed to have said that, for the believer, this long period will be like the time they took to perform a single prayer in the world.)
will ascend to Him on a Day fifty thousand years in length.

So endure ˹this denial, O Prophet,˺ with beautiful patience.
5 / Patience has levels
Consider the Day,
but We see it as inevitable/near.
On that Day the sky will be like molten brass
and the mountains like ˹tufts of˺ wool.

except with their wives or those ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, for then they are free from blame,
but whoever seeks beyond that are the transgressors.
˹The faithful are˺ also those who are true to their trusts and covenants;
and who are honest in their testimony;
29
So let them indulge ˹in falsehood˺ and amuse ˹themselves˺ until they face their Day, which they have been threatened with—
42 / Hobbies etc. are bad, especially with non-contentness about them
the Day they will come forth from the graves swiftly, as if racing to an idol ˹for a blessing˺,1
with eyes downcast, utterly covered with disgrace. That is the Day they have ˹always˺ been warned of.
