I say the truth, and call the moon to witness, 32 by the retreating night, 33 And the dawn when it shineth forth, 34 Surely, it is one of the gravest things, 35 A warning for people -- 36 to whoever of you desires to go forward or 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 guilty: 41 What led you into the Scorching Fire? 42 They will reply, "We did not pray, 43 And we have not been feeding the poor. 44 We plunged in with the plungers 45 and we denied the Day of Judgement 46 until there came to us the certainty. 47 So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them. 48 Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition? 49 as though they were terrified asses 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Rather each one of them desires that he should be given open Books. 52 No, indeed they have no fear of the Everlasting Life. 53 There is no doubt that the Quran is a guide. 54 so whoever wills shall remember it. 55 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. 56
