I say the truth, and call the moon to witness, 32 By the receding night 33 and the morn when it dawns! 34 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) 35 it is a warning to man, 36 Whoever of you desires to progress or lag behind. 37 Every soul is held in pledge against its own deeds, 38 save the Companions of the Right; 39 In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another, 40 concerning the sinners, 41 “What drove you to Hell?” 42 They will answer: “We were not among those who observed Prayer, 43 "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent; 44 “And used to dwell on evil matters with those who think evilly.” 45 and belied the Day of Recompense 46 till the Certain came to us.' -- 47 The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to them. 48 So what is the matter with them that they turn away from the advice? 49 As if they were asses taking fright 50 fleeing from a lion? 51 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out; 52 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, 53 No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder 54 So, whoever wills, will remember it. 55 And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (God) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins). 56
