Nay; I swear by the moon, 32 And by the Night as it retreateth, 33 And the daybreak when it shines; 34 Surely, it is one of the gravest things, 35 A warning to mortals, 36 whether one steps forward to embrace the faith or one turns away from it. 37 Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained 38 except the Companions of the Right. 39 In gardens they will ask one another 40 concerning the sinners, 41 "What led you into Hell Fire?" 42 They will answer: "We did not fulfil our devotional obligations, 43 And did not feed the needy, 44 and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it; 45 and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement 46 until certainty came upon us [in death]." 47 And so, of no benefit to them could be the intercession of any that would intercede for them. 48 Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition, 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 fleeing from a lion? 51 No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them. 52 No! They do not fear the Hereafter -- 53 No indeed; surely it is a Reminder; 54 so whoever wills shall remember it. 55 But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness. 56
