In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.





[74:1]
O thou enveloped in thy cloak,
[74:2]
Arise and warn!
[74:3]
Thy Lord magnify,
[74:4]
Thy raiment purify,
[74:5]
Pollution shun!
[74:6]
And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!
[74:7]
For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!
[74:8]
For when the trumpet shall sound,
[74:9]
Surely that day will be a day of anguish,
[74:10]
Not of ease, for disbelievers.
[74:11]
Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,
[74:12]
And then bestowed upon him ample means,
[74:13]
And sons abiding in his presence
[74:14]
And made (life) smooth for him.
[74:15]
Yet he desireth that I should give more.
[74:16]
Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.
[74:17]
On him I shall impose a fearful doom.
[74:18]
For lo! he did consider; then he planned -
[74:19]
(Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned!
[74:20]
Again (self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! -
[74:21]
Then looked he,
[74:22]
Then frowned he and showed displeasure.
[74:23]
Then turned he away in pride
[74:24]
And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;
[74:25]
This is naught else than speech of mortal man.
[74:26]
Him shall I fling unto the burning.
[74:27]
- Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -
[74:28]
It leaveth naught; it spareth naught
[74:29]
It shrivelleth the man.
[74:30]
Above it are nineteen.
[74:31]
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
[74:32]
Nay, by the Moon
[74:33]
And the night when it withdraweth
[74:34]
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
[74:35]
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
[74:36]
As a warning unto men,
[74:37]
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.
[74:38]
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;
[74:39]
Save those who will stand on the right hand.
[74:40]
In gardens they will ask one another
[74:41]
Concerning the guilty:
[74:42]
What hath brought you to this burning ?
[74:43]
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed
[74:44]
Nor did we feed the wretched.
[74:45]
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
[74:46]
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
[74:47]
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
[74:48]
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
[74:49]
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
[74:50]
As they were frightened asses
[74:51]
Fleeing from a lion ?
[74:52]
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
[74:53]
Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.
[74:54]
Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.
[74:55]
So whosoever will may heed.
[74:56]
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
