Nay; I swear by the moon, 32 And by the Night as it retreateth, 33 By the morning when it brighteneth. 34 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) 35 it is a warning to man, 36 to everyone of you, whether he chooses to come forward or to hang back! 37 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, 38 save the People of the Right Hand 39 In Gardens; they shall be asking, 40 Concerning the culprits: 41 "What led you into Hell Fire?" 42 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed; 43 "Nor used to feed the needy." 44 And we have been wading with the waders. 45 And we have been belying the Day of Requital. 46 until certainty came upon us [in death]." 47 The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to them. 48 Why then do they turn away from the admonition 49 As if they were asses taking fright 50 Fleeing away from a lion. 51 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out; 52 Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter. 53 No indeed; surely it is a Reminder; 54 Let any who will, keep it in remembrance! 55 But none will remember, unless Allah wills, He is the Owner of fear, the Owner of forgiveness. 56
