Nay, verily: By the Moon, 32 and the night when it retreats 33 By the morning when it brighteneth. 34 This is but one of the mighty (portents), 35 A warning to mankind, 36 alike to every one of you, who want to go forward or hang back. 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 Except those on the right side. 39 In Gardens they will question 40 Concerning the culprits: 41 What led you into the Scorching Fire? 42 and they shall reply, "We were not among those who prayed; 43 we fed not the needy, 44 and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk, 45 "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, 46 Until there came to us the certainty." 47 Then the intercession of the intercessors shall not profit them. 48 Why now turn they away from the Admonishment, 49 As if they were asses taking fright 50 Fleeing from a lion! 51 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah). 52 Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter. 53 No indeed; surely it is a Reminder; 54 So whosoever will may heed. 55 But none will remember, unless Allah wills, He is the Owner of fear, the Owner of forgiveness. 56
