In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[74.1] O you
who are clothed!
[74.2] Arise
and warn,
[74.3] And
your Lord do magnify,
[74.4] And
your garments do purify,
[74.5] And
uncleanness do shun,
[74.6] And
bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,
[74.7] And
for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
[74.8] For
when the trumpet is sounded,
[74.9] That,
at that time, shall be a difficult day,
[74.10] For
the unbelievers, anything but easy.
[74.11]
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
[74.12] And
give him vast riches,
[74.13] And
sons dwelling in his presence,
[74.14] And
I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
[74.15] And
yet he desires that I should add more!
[74.16] By
no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
[74.17] 1
will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
[74.18]
Surely he reflected and guessed,
[74.19] But
may he be cursed how he plotted;
[74.20]
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
[74.21] Then
he looked,
[74.22] Then
he frowned and scowled,
[74.23] Then
he turned back and was big with pride,
[74.24] Then
he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
[74.25] This
is naught but the word of a mortal.
[74.26] 1
will cast him into hell.
[74.27] And
what will make you realize what hell is?
[74.28] It
leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
[74.29] It
scorches the mortal.
[74.30] Over
it are nineteen.
[74.31] And
We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their
number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book
may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given
the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and
the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err
whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but
He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
[74.32] Nay;
I swear by the moon,
[74.33] And
the night when it departs,
[74.34] And
the daybreak when it shines;
[74.35]
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
[74.36] A
warning to mortals,
[74.37] To
him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
[74.38]
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
[74.39]
Except the people of the right hand,
[74.40] In
gardens, they shall ask each other
[74.41]
About the guilty:
[74.42] What
has brought you into hell?
[74.43] They
shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
[74.44] And
we used not to feed the poor;
[74.45] And
we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
[74.46] And
we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
[74.47] Till
death overtook us.
[74.48] So
the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
[74.49] What
is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition,
[74.50] As
if they were asses taking fright
[74.51] That
had fled from a lion?
[74.52] Nay;
every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
[74.53] Nay!
but they do not fear the hereafter.
[74.54] Nay!
it is surely an admonition.
[74.55] So
whoever pleases may mind it.
[74.56] And
they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
