Nay, and by the moon, 32 By the night when it departs. 33 and the morning when it appears, 34 surely it is one of the greatest things 35 A warning to mankind,- 36 To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by commiting sins), 37 Every soul will be in captivity for its deeds 38 except those of the right hand 39 in Gardens they will question 40 About the guilty: 41 What hath brought you to this burning? 42 They said, “We never used to offer the prayer.” 43 we fed not the needy, 44 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses. 45 and belied the Day of Recompense 46 “Till death overcame us.” 47 So no intercession will avail them. 48 Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition, 49 As if they were asses taking fright 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; but they do not fear the Hereafter. 53 No indeed; surely it is a Reminder; 54 So whosoever willeth may heed 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
