NAY, but consider the moon! 32 and by the night when it recedes, 33 And by the dawn when it brightens, 34 That Hell is surely one of the greater signs, 35 A warning to mortals, 36 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back. 37 Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds; 38 save those who shall have attained to righteousness: 39 (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other, 40 Of evil-doers: 41 What led you into the Scorching Fire? 42 They will say: we have not been of those who prayed. 43 and we did not feed the poor, 44 "And used to dwell on evil matters with those who think evilly." 45 and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement 46 "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain." 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?- 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Aye! every one of them desireth that: he should be vouchsafed scrolls expanded. 52 This will certainly never be the case! In fact, they are not afraid of the Day of Judgment. 53 Nay, verily, this is an admonition 54 So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)! 55 And they shall not heed unless Allah willeth. He is the Lord of piety, and the Lord of forgiveness. 56
