Nay, by the moon, 32 by the retreating night, 33 and by the day when it dawns (with its radiance), 34 That (Hell) is surely one of the greater (signs), 35 A warning unto humankind 36 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;- 37 Every soul is mortgaged for its own deeds. 38 Except the Companions of the Right Hand. 39 In gardens they will ask one another 40 Concerning the guilty: 41 What hath brought you to this burning? 42 They will say, "We were not of those who prayed, 43 “Nor used to feed the needy.” 44 "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers; 45 and we denied the Day of Judgement 46 till the certainty (death) overtook us' 47 So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them. 48 So what is the matter with them that they turn away from the advice? 49 As if they were affrighted asses, 50 Fleeing away from a lion. 51 Nay, every man of them desires to be -- given -- scrolls unrolled. 52 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter. 53 Never so, as this is a reminder. 54 So whosoever will may heed. 55 And they shall not heed unless Allah willeth. He is the Lord of piety, and the Lord of forgiveness. 56
