Surah “The Cloaked One, The Man Wearing a Cloak, The Clothed One”

You, wrapped in your cloak

arise and give warning

Proclaim the glory of your Lord

purify your garments

shun uncleanness

do not bestow a favour in the expectation of receiving more in return

and for the sake of your Lord, be patient

When the Trumpet is sounded

that Day will be a hard and distressing Day

It will not be easy for those who deny the truth

Leave Me alone [to deal] with him whom I have created alone

and to whom I have granted resources in abundance

and sons to be by his side

and whom I have provided with every resource

and yet, he greedily desires that I give him even more

By no means! He has been stubbornly hostile to Our revelation

I shall force him to endure a painful uphill climb

For he thought and he plotted

and woe to him; how he plotted

Let him be destroyed. How he calculated

Then he looked round

then he frowned and scowled

and he turned his back and behaved arrogantl

and said, This is nothing but sorcery from the ancients

This is nothing but the word of a mortal

Soon I will cast him into hell

What could make you conceive what hell-fire is

It does not allow anyone to live, and neither does it leave anyone to die

it scorches the skin

there are nineteen [angels] in charge of i

We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire. We have specified their number only as a trial for those who are bent on denying the truth, so that those who were given the Book might gain in certainty, and those who believe might increase in faith and so that neither those who have been given the Scripture nor the believers might have any doubts, and that those sick at heart and those who deny the truth might ask, What does God mean by this parable? In this way, God lets go astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. And none knows the forces of your Lord but He. This is but a Reminder for man

No, by the moon

By the night when it departs

By the dawn when it lightens

Surely, it is one of the gravest things

it is a warning to man

alike to every one of you, who want to go forward or hang back

Every soul is held in pledge against its own deeds

except those of the right han

who in their gardens will be enquirin

about the sinners

What has brought you into the Fire of Hell

and they shall reply, We were not among those who prayed

and we did not feed the poor

we indulged in vain arguments along with those who indulged in them

and we denied the Day of Judgemen

until the Inevitable End [death] overtook us

So no intercession will avail them

Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition

like frightened donkey

fleeing from a lion

Indeed, everyone of them desires to have sheets of revelations unfolded before the

No! They do not fear the Hereafte

but this is truly a reminder

Let him who will take heed

they will only take heed if God so wills: He is the Lord who is worthy to be feared: the Lord of forgiveness
