O thou who art covered
arise and warn
Thy Lord magnify
Thy garments purify
And defilement shun
Grant not favor, seeking gain
And for the sake of thy Lord be patient
For when the trumpet is blown
that Day shall be a difficult da
for the disbelievers, not of ease
Leave Me alone with the one whom I created
and to whom I gave vast wealth
and sons at his side
and made smooth the way for him
Yet he desires that I give more
Nay! Truly he sets himself against Our signs
I shall constrain him to endure a steep ascent
Truly he reflected and determined
May he perish for how he determined
then may he perish for how he determined
Then he beheld
Then he frowned and scowled
Then he turned his back, and waxed arrogant
and said, “This is naught but sorcery handed down
this is naught but the speech of a human being.
I shall cast him into Saqar
And what will apprise thee of Saqar
It spares not, nor leaves behind
It scorches the human being
Over it are nineteen
And We have appointed none but angels as wardens of the Fire; and We have not appointed their number save as a trial for those who disbelieve, to grant certainty to those who have been given the Book and increase in faith those who believe; and that those who were given the Book and the believers will not doubt; and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers will say, “What does God desire by this as a parable?” Thus does God lead astray whomsoever He will and guide whomsoever He will. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. It is but a reminder for the human being
Nay! By the moon
by the night as it withdraws
and by the morning as it brightens
truly it is one of the greatest
as a warner to the human being
for those of you who wish to go forth or stay behind
Every soul is held in pledge for what it has earned
save the companions of the right
in Gardens, questioning one another
about the guilty
“What led you into Saqar?
They say, “We were not among those who prayed
nor did we feed the indigent
and we engaged in vain discourse with those who do the same
and we denied the Day of Judgment
until certainty came upon us.
Thus the intercession of the intercessors will avail them not
So what ails them that they turn away from the Reminder
as if they were frightened asse
fleeing from a lion
Rather, every man among them desires to be given pages unfolded
Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter
Yea! Truly it is a reminder
So let whosoever will, remember it
And they remember not, save as God wills. He is most worthy of reverence and most worthy of granting forgiveness
