Nay, and by the moon, 32 By the night when it departs. 33 and the morn when it dawns! 34 This is but one of the mighty (portents), 35 As a warning unto men, 36 alike to every one of you, who want to go forward or hang back. 37 Each one is a hostage to one's deeds, 38 except those of the right hand 39 [Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other 40 concerning the sinners, 41 “What drove you to Hell?” 42 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed 43 and we did not feed the needy. 44 And we have been wading with the waders. 45 and we cried lies to the Day of Doom, 46 until the inevitable event overtook us.” 47 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then. 48 What is the matter with them that they turn away from this Reminder, 49 As if they were asses taking fright 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Indeed, everyone of them desires to have sheets of revelations unfolded before them -- 52 Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allah's punishment). 53 Nay, this surely is an admonition: 54 So, whoever wills may benefit from it. 55 And what advice will they heed, except if Allah wills? Only He deserves to be feared, and His only is the greatness of forgiving. 56
