NAY, but consider the moon! 32 and by the night when it recedes, 33 And by the dawn when it brightens, 34 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) 35 A warning to mankind,- 36 to everyone of you, whether he chooses to come forward or to hang back! 37 Every soul is mortgaged for its own deeds. 38 Except the people of the right hand, 39 In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another, 40 Of evil-doers: 41 What has brought you into hell? 42 They will say: we have not been of those who prayed. 43 and we did not feed the poor, 44 and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it; 45 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense 46 until there came to us the certainty. 47 Then there will not profit them intercesion of the interceders. 48 Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition, 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Indeed, everyone of them desires to have sheets of revelations unfolded before them -- 52 No indeed; but they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 Nay, verily, this is an admonition 54 so whoever wills shall remember it. 55 But they will not benefit from it unless Allah Himself so wills. He is worthy to be feared; and He is worthy to forgive (those that fear Him). 56
