I say the truth, and call the moon to witness, 32 By the receding night 33 And [by] the morning when it brightens, 34 Verily, that [hell-fire] is Indeed one of the great [forewarnings] 35 a warning to mortal man 36 to whoever of you desires to go forward or lag behind. 37 Every soul will be a pledge for that which it hath earned, 38 except the people of the right hand 39 In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another, 40 about the sinners. 41 "What has brought you into the Fire of Hell ?" 42 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed; 43 And did not feed the needy, 44 We indulged and persisted in useless disputes, 45 And rejected the Day of Judgement as a lie 46 "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain." 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 So what is the matter with them that they turn away from the advice? 49 as though they were frightened wild asses, 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them. 52 No, indeed they have no fear of the Everlasting Life. 53 No indeed; surely it is a Reminder; 54 So whosoever willeth may heed it. 55 And they will not remember, except that God wills; He is worthy to be feared, -- worthy to forgive. 56
