Nay, verily: By the Moon, 32 And the night when on the wane, 33 And by the dawn when it brightens, 34 Indeed hell is one of the greatest entities. 35 it is a warning to man, 36 For the one among you who wishes to come forward or stay back. 37 Each one is a hostage to one's deeds, 38 Except the people of the right hand, 39 In gardens, they shall ask each other 40 and will ask of the criminals, 41 'What thrusted you into Sakar?' 42 They will answer: "We did not fulfil our devotional obligations, 43 and neither did we feed the needy; 44 and we plunged along with the plungers, 45 "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, 46 till the certainty (death) overtook us' 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 WHAT, THEN, is amiss with them that they turn away from all admonition 49 As if they were frightened (wild) donkeys. 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 In fact every one of them wants to be given open books (like the prophets). 52 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, 53 Nay; this is an Exhortation. 54 Let anyone who seeks guidance do so. 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
