By the moon, 32 And the night when on the wane, 33 And the dawn when it shineth forth, 34 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes), 35 A warning unto humankind 36 whether one steps forward to embrace the faith or one turns away from it. 37 Every person is a pledge for what he has earned, 38 Except those on the right side. 39 In gardens they will ask one another 40 About the criminals, 41 "What was it that brought you to Hell?" 42 They will answer: "We did not fulfil our devotional obligations, 43 we fed not the needy, 44 and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it; 45 and we cried lies to the Day of Doom, 46 till the certainty (death) overtook us' 47 The intercession of the intercessors will be of no benefit to them. 48 What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation, 49 As if they were affrighted asses, 50 Fleeing away from a lion. 51 In fact every one of them wants to be given open books (like the prophets). 52 By no means! Aye, they fear not the Hereafter. 53 Never so, as this is a reminder. 54 So, whoever wills, will remember it. 55 But they will not remember except as God wills: He is worthy to be feared, and He is worthy of forgiving 56
