Nay, verily: By the Moon, 32 And by the night when it withdraws, 33 And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,- 34 Indeed hell is one of the greatest entities. 35 A warning to mankind, 36 A warning unto him of you who shall go forward or who chooseth to lag behind. 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 Except those of the right hand 39 [dwelling] In gardens [of paradise,] they will inquire 40 Concerning the guilty: 41 “What took you into the hell?” 42 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed 43 and neither did we feed the needy; 44 and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it; 45 and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement 46 till the certainty (death) overtook us' 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 WHAT, THEN, is amiss with them that they turn away from all admonition 49 like startled wild donkeys 50 That had fled from a lion? 51 Indeed, each one of them desires to be given unrolled scrolls. 52 No indeed; the truth is that they have no fear of the Hereafter. 53 Never so, as this is a reminder. 54 So, whoever wills, will remember it. 55 And they shall not heed unless Allah willeth. He is the Lord of piety, and the Lord of forgiveness. 56
