Nay, and by the moon, 32 and by the night when it recedes, 33 And the dawn when it shineth forth, 34 hell is certainly the greatest calamity. 35 A warning to mankind,- 36 To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by commiting sins), 37 Every soul is held in pledge against its own deeds, 38 except the Companions of the Right. 39 in Gardens they will question 40 and will ask of the criminals, 41 What led you into the Scorching Fire? 42 They will say, "We were not of those who prayed, 43 Nor did we feed the wretched. 44 And we have been wading with the waders. 45 and we cried lies to the Day of Doom, 46 until the inevitable event overtook us.” 47 And so, of no benefit to them could be the intercession of any that would intercede for them. 48 WHAT, THEN, is amiss with them that they turn away from all admonition 49 like frightened donkeys 50 Fleeing away from a lion. 51 No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them. 52 Nay, but they do not [believe in and hence, do not] fear the life to come. 53 Nay, verily, this (Quran) is an admonition, 54 and whoever wills may take it to heart. 55 But they will not benefit from it unless Allah Himself so wills. He is worthy to be feared; and He is worthy to forgive (those that fear Him). 56
