Nay; I swear by the moon, 32 By the night when it withdraweth. 33 By the dawn when it lightens! 34 Verily, that [hell-fire] is Indeed one of the great [forewarnings] 35 a warning to humans, 36 To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind. 37 Every soul will be a pledge for that which it hath earned, 38 Except the Companions of the Right Hand. 39 who will be in Paradise 40 Of evil-doers: 41 'What thrusted you into Sakar?' 42 They will say, "We were not of those who prayed, 43 nor did we feed the destitute. 44 "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers; 45 and belied the Day of Recompense 46 "Till death overcame us." 47 So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them. 48 Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away 49 As if they were startled donkeys - 50 fleeing before a lion? 51 No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them. 52 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter, 53 but this is truly a reminder. 54 So, whoever wills, will 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
