Nay, by the moon, 32 And by oath of the night when it turns back. 33 and by the day when it dawns (with its radiance), 34 Surely, it is one of the gravest things, 35 As a warning to humanity - 36 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- 37 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, 38 Except the people of the right hand, 39 In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another, 40 concerning the sinners, 41 "What has brought you into hell-fire?" 42 They said, “We never used to offer the prayer.” 43 And we used not to feed the poor; 44 And plunged into useless things with those who were obstinate, 45 and rejected the Day of Judgment 46 Until the certainty (of death) had come upon us. 47 So, the intercession of intercessors will not avail them. 48 Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away 49 As if they were startled donkeys – 50 fleeing from a lion? 51 No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them. 52 Nay, but they do not [believe in and hence, do not] fear the life to come. 53 but this is truly a reminder. 54 Let him who will take heed: 55 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. 56
