O thou who wrappest thyself up
Arise and warn
And thy Lord do magnify
And thy garments do purify
And uncleanness do shun
And do no favour seeking gain
And for the sake of thy Lord, be patient
For when the trumpet is sounded
That will be -- that day -- difficult day
For the disbelievers, anything but easy
Leave Me alone with him whom I created
And gave him vast riches
And sons dwelling in his presence
And made matters easy for him
And yet he desires that I should give more
By no means! Surely he is inimical to Our messages
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him
Surely he reflected and determined
But may he be destroyed how he determined
Again, may he be destroyed how he determined
Then he looked
Then frowned and scowled
Then turned back and was big with pride
Then said: This is naught but magic from an old
This is naught but the word of a mortal
I will cast him into hell
And what will make thee realize what hell is
It leaves naught, and spares naught
It scorches the mortal
Over it are nineteen
And We have made none but angels wardens of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the Book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the Book and the believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus Allah leaves in error whom He pleases, and guides whom He pleases. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And this is naught but a Reminder to mortals
Nay, by the moon
And the night when it departs
And the dawn when it shines! -
Surely it is one of the gravest (misfortunes)
A warning to mortals
To him among you who will go forward or will remain behind
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns
Except the people of the right hand
In Gardens, they ask one another
About the guilty
What has brought you into hell
They will say: We were not of those who prayed
Nor did we feed the poor
And we indulged in vain talk with vain talkers
And we called the day of Judgment a lie
Till the inevitable overtook us
So the intercession of intercessors will not avail them
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the Reminder
As if they were frightened asses
Fleeing from a lion
Nay, every one of them desires that he should be given pages spread out -
By no means! But they fear not the hereafter
Nay, it is surely a Reminder
So whoever pleases may mind it
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is Worthy that duty should be kept to Him and Worthy to forgive
