By the moon, 32 And the night when on the wane, 33 and the dawn when it is white, 34 surely (Hell) is one of the greatest Signs, 35 It is a warning for mankind 36 For the one among you who wishes to come forward or stay back. 37 Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained 38 Except those of the right hand 39 in Gardens they will question 40 of those who were lost in sin: 41 What has brought you into hell? 42 They will say: we have not been of those who prayed. 43 And we have not been feeding the poor. 44 “And used to dwell on evil matters with those who think evilly.” 45 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie; 46 Till the Inevitable came unto us. 47 The intercession of the intercessors will be of no benefit to them. 48 Why then do they turn away from the admonition 49 As though they were frightened asses 50 fleeing before a lion? 51 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out; 52 No indeed; but they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 Nay, verily, this is an admonition 54 Then whoever wills will remember it. 55 But they [who do not believe in the life to come] will not take it to heart unless God so wills: [for] He is the Fount of all God-consciousness, and the Fount of all forgiveness. 56
