NAY, but consider the moon! 32 By the receding night 33 By the dawn when it lightens! 34 it is one of the greatest trials, 35 A warning for people -- 36 to whoever among you desires to go forward, or lag behind. 37 Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained 38 except those of the right hand 39 who will be in Paradise 40 about the sinners. 41 What has brought you into hell? 42 and they shall reply, "We were not among those who prayed; 43 "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent; 44 And plunged into useless things with those who were obstinate, 45 "And we used to belie the Day of Recompense 46 Till death overtook us. 47 Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them. 48 What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation, 49 like frightened donkeys 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Indeed, everyone of them desires to have sheets of revelations unfolded before them -- 52 By no means. In fact they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 but this is truly a reminder. 54 So whoever pleases may mind it. 55 And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (God) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins). 56
