Nay, by the moon, 32 And the night when on the wane, 33 By the dawn when it lightens! 34 This is but one of the mighty (portents), 35 A warning for people -- 36 a warning to everyone of you whether he would like to come forward or lag behind. 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 save the Companions of the Right; 39 In Gardens; they shall be asking, 40 Concerning the guilty: 41 "What has brought you into hell-fire?" 42 They will answer: "We were not among those who prayed; 43 Nor did we feed the wretched. 44 and we plunged along with the plungers, 45 and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement 46 “Till death overcame us.” 47 So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors. 48 What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation, 49 As they were frightened asses 50 Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey. 51 Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out! 52 No indeed; the truth is that they have no fear of the Hereafter. 53 Nay! it is surely an admonition. 54 So whosoever will may heed. 55 And what advice will they heed, except if Allah wills? Only He deserves to be feared, and His only is the greatness of forgiving. 56
