Nay, by the Moon 32 and by the night when it recedes, 33 By the dawn when it lightens! 34 Verily, that [hell-fire] is Indeed one of the great [forewarnings] 35 A warning unto humankind 36 For the one among you who wishes to come forward or stay back. 37 Each soul is held in pledge for what it earns, 38 Save those who will stand on the right hand. 39 who shall be in the Gardens, and shall ask 40 concerning the sinners, 41 “What drove you to Hell?” 42 They shall say, 'We were not of those who prayed, and 43 "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent; 44 And plunged into useless things with those who were obstinate, 45 And rejected the Day of Judgement as a lie 46 until death approached us". 47 Then the intercession of the intercessors shall not profit them. 48 What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation, 49 As if they were frightened (wild) donkeys. 50 That had fled from a lion? 51 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out; 52 No! They do not fear the Hereafter -- 53 but this is truly a reminder. 54 Let anyone who seeks guidance do so. 55 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. 56
