Nay, and by the moon, 32 And [by] the night when it departs 33 And by the dawn when it brightens, 34 Verily it is one of the greatest woes. 35 it is a warning to man, 36 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow 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 and will ask of the criminals, 41 [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?" 42 and they shall reply, "We were not among those who prayed; 43 and we did not feed the poor; 44 and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it; 45 and the Day of Judgment we were wont to call a lie 46 until the inevitable event overtook us.” 47 Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them. 48 Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition, 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 Fleeing away from a lion. 51 No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them. 52 This will certainly never be the case! In fact, they are not afraid of the Day of Judgment. 53 There is no doubt that the Quran is a guide. 54 Then whoever wills will remember it. 55 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. 56
