No, by the moon! 32 By the receding night 33 and by the day when it dawns (with its radiance), 34 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) 35 It is a warning for mankind 36 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 save the People of the Right Hand 39 who shall be in the Gardens, and shall ask 40 And (ask) of the Sinners: 41 'What thrusted you into Sakar?' 42 They shall say, 'We were not of those who prayed, and 43 nor did we feed the destitute. 44 We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders, 45 "And we used to belie the Day of Recompense 46 until the Inevitable End [death] overtook us." 47 So, the intercession of intercessors will not avail them. 48 What is the matter with them that they turn away from this Reminder, 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out; 52 No, indeed they have no fear of the Everlasting Life. 53 Nay! it is surely an admonition. 54 Then whoever wills will remember it. 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
