By the moon, 32 And by the Night as it retreateth, 33 And [by] the morning when it brightens, 34 That (Hell) is surely one of the greater (signs), 35 A warning to mankind,- 36 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 Except those of the right hand 39 Sitting in the gardens, asking 40 of those who were lost in sin: 41 "What has brought you into the Fire of Hell ?" 42 They will reply, "We did not pray, 43 and we did not feed the poor, 44 we indulged in vain arguments along with those who indulged in them; 45 And we have been belying the Day of Requital. 46 until the Inevitable End [death] overtook us." 47 And so, of no benefit to them could be the intercession of any that would intercede for them. 48 Why then do they turn away from the admonition 49 like frightened donkeys 50 That had fled from a lion? 51 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah). 52 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, 53 Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment. 54 Let anyone who seeks guidance do so. 55 But none will remember, unless Allah wills, He is the Owner of fear, the Owner of forgiveness. 56
