By the moon, 32 and the night when it retreats 33 By the dawn when it lightens! 34 That (Hell) is surely one of the greater (signs), 35 a warning to mortal man 36 A warning unto him of you who shall go forward or who chooseth to lag behind. 37 Each one is a hostage to one's deeds, 38 except the Companions of the Right. 39 (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other, 40 Of evil-doers: 41 "What has brought you into hell-fire?" 42 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed; 43 and we did not feed the needy. 44 and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it; 45 and we denied the Day of Judgement 46 Till death overtook us. 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?- 49 like startled wild donkeys 50 fleeing -- before a lion? 51 Indeed, each one of them desires to be given unrolled scrolls. 52 Nay, but they do not [believe in and hence, do not] fear the life to come. 53 By no means! Verily this Qur'an is an admonition. 54 Let any who will, keep it in remembrance! 55 And what advice will they heed, except if Allah wills? Only He deserves to be feared, and His only is the greatness of forgiving. 56
