Nay, by the Moon 32 by the retreating night, 33 and the dawn when it is white, 34 surely it is one of the greatest things 35 A warning unto humankind 36 Whoever of you desires to progress or lag behind. 37 Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained 38 Except the Companions of the Right Hand. 39 In Gardens; they shall be asking, 40 about the sinners. 41 What hath brought you to this burning? 42 and they shall reply, "We were not among those who prayed; 43 we fed not the needy, 44 "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers; 45 and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement 46 till the certainty (death) overtook 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 alarmed donkeys 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Indeed, each one of them desires to be given unrolled scrolls. 52 By no means! Aye, they fear not the Hereafter. 53 By no means! Verily this Qur'an is an admonition. 54 Let any who will, keep it in remembrance! 55 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. 56
