Nay; I swear by the moon, 32 And by the Night as it retreateth, 33 and the morning when it appears, 34 This is but one of the mighty (portents), 35 A warning to mankind, 36 For the one among you who wishes to come forward or stay back. 37 Every soul will be a pledge for that which it hath earned, 38 except those of the right hand 39 who in their gardens will be enquiring 40 Of evil-doers: 41 "What was it that brought you to Hell?" 42 They will answer: "We were not among those who prayed; 43 and we did not feed the poor; 44 And plunged into useless things with those who were obstinate, 45 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense 46 Till death overtook us. 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 If such will be the Day of Judgment, what is the matter with them? Why do they run away from guidance, 49 As if they were startled donkeys – 50 fleeing from a lion? 51 Is it that everyone of them wants to receive a heavenly book addressed to him personally? 52 No, indeed they have no fear of the Everlasting Life. 53 No, indeed, surely, this is a Reminder. 54 So whoever pleases may mind it. 55 And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness. 56
