By the moon, 32 And the night when it withdraweth 33 And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,- 34 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes), 35 a warning to humankind, 36 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back. 37 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, 38 Save those who will stand on the right hand. 39 In Gardens they will question 40 Concerning the culprits: 41 "What has brought you into hell-fire?" 42 They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salat (prayers) 43 nor did we feed the destitute. 44 And plunged into useless things with those who were obstinate, 45 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense 46 until death approached us". 47 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then. 48 What is the matter with them that they turn away from this Reminder, 49 As though they were asses startled. 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah). 52 No indeed; but they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 No, indeed, surely, this is a Reminder. 54 Let him who will take heed: 55 And they shall not heed unless Allah willeth. He is the Lord of piety, and the Lord of forgiveness. 56
