By no means! By the moon, 32 By the receding night 33 And by oath of the morning, when it spreads light. 34 Verily, that [hell-fire] is Indeed one of the great [forewarnings] 35 a warning to humankind, 36 alike to every one of you, who want to go forward or hang back. 37 Every soul is held in pledge against its own deeds, 38 save those who shall have attained to righteousness: 39 who in their gardens will be enquiring 40 About the guilty: 41 What led you into the Scorching Fire? 42 They will reply: 'We were not among those who prayed 43 And did not feed the needy, 44 We plunged in with the plungers 45 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; 46 Till the Inevitable came unto us. 47 Then the intercession of the intercessors shall not profit them. 48 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition 49 As they were frightened asses 50 Fleeing from a lion? 51 Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about. 52 Nay, but they do not [believe in and hence, do not] fear the life to come. 53 Nay, verily, this is an admonition 54 Let him then who heeds remember it. 55 And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness. 56
