O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
74:2
Arise and deliver thy warning!
74:3
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
74:4
And thy garments keep free from stain!
74:5
And all abomination shun!
74:6
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
74:7
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
74:8
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
74:9
That will be− that Day − a Day of Distress,− Far from easy for those without Faith.
74:11
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!−
74:12
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
74:13
And sons to be by his side!−
74:14
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
74:15
Yet is he greedy−that I should add (yet more);−
74:16
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
74:17
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
74:18
For he thought and he plotted;−
74:19
And woe to him! How he plotted!− Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!−
74:21
Then he looked round;
74:22
Then he frowned and he scowled;
74:23
Then he turned back and was haughty;
74:24
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
74:25
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
74:26
Soon will I cast him into Hell−Fire!
74:27
And what will explain to thee what Hell−Fire is?
74:28
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!−
74:29
Darkening and changing the colour of man! Over it are Nineteen.
74:31
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,− in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,− and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
74:32Nay, verily: By the Moon,
74:33
And by the Night as it retreateth,
74:34
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,−
74:35
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
74:36
A warning to mankind,−
74:37
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;−
74:38
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds. Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
74:40
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
74:41
And (ask) of the Sinners:
74:42
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
74:43
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
74:44
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
74:45
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
74:46
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
74:47
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
74:48
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them. Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?−
74:50
As if they were affrighted asses,
74:51
Fleeing from a lion!
74:52
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
74:53
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
74:54
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
74:55
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
74:56
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
