NAY, but consider the moon! 32 And by the Night as it retreateth, 33 by the brightening dawn, 34 This is but one of the mighty (portents), 35 It is a warning for mankind 36 A warning unto him of you who shall go forward or who chooseth to lag behind. 37 Each soul is held in pledge for what it earns, 38 Save those who will stand on the right hand. 39 (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other, 40 Concerning the culprits: 41 "What was it that brought you to Hell?" 42 They shall say, 'We were not of those who prayed, and 43 we fed not the needy, 44 and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk, 45 and rejected the Day of Judgment 46 Till death overtook us. 47 The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to them. 48 Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 running away from a lion? 51 Is it that everyone of them wants to receive a heavenly book addressed to him personally? 52 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, 53 No indeed; surely it is a Reminder; 54 and whoever wills may take it to heart. 55 they will only take heed if God so wills: He is the Lord who is worthy to be feared: the Lord of forgiveness. 56
