O thou shrouded in thy mantle
arise, and warn
Thy Lord magnify
thy robes purify
and defilement flee
Give not, thinking to gain greater
and be patient unto thy Lord
For when the Trump is sounded
that day will be a harsh day
for the unbelievers not easy
Leave Me with him whom I created alone
and appointed for him ample wealth
and sons standing before him
and made all things smooth for him
then he is eager that I should do more
Nay! He is forward unto Our signs
and I shall constrain him to a hard ascent
Lo! He reflected, and determined -
death seize him, how he determined
Again, death seize him, how he determined
Then he beheld
then he frowned, and scowled
then he retreated, and waxed proud
He said, 'This is naught but a trumped-up sorcery
'this is nothing but mortal speech.
I shall surely roast him in Sakar
and what will teach thee what is Sakar
It spares not, neither leaves alone
scorching the flesh
over it are nineteen
We have appointed only angels to be masters of the Fire, and their number We have appointed only as a trial for the unbelievers, that those who were given the Book may have certainty, and that those who believe may increase in belief, and that those who were given the Book and those who believe may not be in-doubt, and that those in whose hearts there is sickness, and the unbelievers, may say, 'What did God intend by this as a similitude?' So God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides whomsoever He will; and none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but a Reminder to mortals
Nay! By the moo
and the night when it retreat
and the dawn when it is white
surely it is one of the greatest thing
as a warner to mortals
to whoever of you desires to go forward or lag behind
Every soul shall be pledged for what it has earned
save the Companions of the Right
in Gardens they will questio
concerning the sinners
'What thrusted you into Sakar?
They shall say, 'We were not of those who prayed, an
we fed not the needy
and we plunged along with the plungers
and we cried lies to the Day of Doom
till the Certain came to us.' -
Then the intercession of the intercessors shall not profit them
What ails them, that they turn away from the Reminder
as if they were startled asse
fleeing -- before a lion
Nay, every man of them desires to be -- given -- scrolls unrolled
No indeed; but they do not fear the Hereafter
No indeed; surely it is a Reminder
so whoever wills shall remember it
And they will not remember, except that God wills; He is worthy to be feared, -- worthy to forgive
