No, by the moon! 32 And by the night when it withdraws, 33 and the dawn when it is white, 34 surely it is one of the greatest things 35 A warning to mortals, 36 to everyone of you, whether he chooses to come forward or to hang back! 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 Except the companions of the right, 39 Sitting in the gardens, asking 40 and will ask of the criminals, 41 [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?" 42 They will answer: “We were not among those who observed Prayer, 43 and we did not feed the needy. 44 "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers; 45 "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, 46 "Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain." 47 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them. 48 Why then do they turn away from the admonition 49 as if they were startled asses 50 Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey. 51 Aye! every one of them desireth that: he should be vouchsafed scrolls expanded. 52 No! But they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 but this is truly a reminder. 54 So whoever pleases may mind it. 55 And they shall not heed unless Allah willeth. He is the Lord of piety, and the Lord of forgiveness. 56
