O THOU, ENWRAPPED in thy mantle
Arise and warn
Thy Lord - magnify Him
Thy raiment - purify it
The abomination - flee it
And bestow not favours that thou mayest receive again with increase
And for thy Lord wait thou patiently
For when there shall be a trump on the trumpet
That shall be a distressful day
A day, to the Infidels, devoid of ease
Leave me alone to deal with him whom I have created
And on whom I have bestowed vast riches
And sons dwelling before him
And for whom I have smoothed all things smoothly down;
Yet desireth he that I should add more
But no! because to our signs he is a fo
I will lay grievous woes upon him
For he plotted and he planned
May he be cursed! How he planned
Again, may he be cursed! How he planned
Then looked he around him
Then frowned and scowled
Then turned his back and swelled with disdain
And said, "This is merely magic that will be wrought
It is merely the word of a mortal."
We will surely cast him into Hell-fire
And who shall teach thee what Hell-fire is
It leaveth nought, it spareth nought
Blackening the skin
Over it are nineteen angels
None but angels have we made guardians of the fire: nor have we made this to be their number but to perplex the unbelievers, and that they who possess the Scriptures may be certain of the truth of the Koran, and that they who believe may increase their faith; And that they to whom the Scriptures have been given, and the believers, may not doubt; And that the infirm of heart and the unbelievers may say, What meaneth God by this parable? Thus God misleadeth whom He will, and whom He will doth He guide aright: and none knoweth the armies of thy Lord but Himself: and this is no other than a warning to mankind
Nay, by the Moon
By the Night when it retreateth
By the Morn when it brighteneth
Hell is one of the most grievous woes
Fraught with warning to man
To him among you who desireth to press forward, or to remain behind
For its own works lieth every soul in pledge
But they of God's right han
In their garden
shall ask of the wicked;
"What hath cast you into Hell-fire?"
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed
And we were not of those who fed the poor
And we plunged into vain disputes with vain disputers
And we rejected as a lie, the day of reckoning
Till the certainty came upon us"
And intercession of the interceders shall not avail them
Then what hath come to them that they turn aside from the warning
As if they were affrighted asse
fleeing from a lion
And every one of them would fain have open pages given to him out of Heaven
It shall not be. They fear not the life to come
It shall not be. For this Koran is warning enough
And whoso will, it warneth him
But not unless God please, shall they be warned. Meet is He to be feared. Meet is forgiveness in Him
