O Muddaththir (the one enveloped - one of the nicknames of Prophet Muhammad)
Stand up and warn
Proclaim the greatness of your Lord
purify your clothes
keep yourself away from uncleanliness
do not favor others to expect a gain
and be patient for the sake of your Lord
When the Trumpet will be sounded
that Day will be a very difficult Day
not easy for the disbelievers
Leave Me and the one (Walid bin Mughirah, a staunch opponent of the Prophet) whom I created, alone
I gave him abundant resources
thriving sons
and made his life smooth and comfortable
Yet he hopes that I shall give him more
By no means! Because he has stubbornly denied Our revelations
Soon I shall make him suffer mounting calamities
surely he pondered and devised a plot
May he perish, how he plotted
Again, may he perish, how he plotted
He looked around
frowned and scowled
then he turned his back in scornful pride
and said: "This is nothing but a magic from the old
this is nothing but the word of a human being."
Soon I shall cast him into Saqar
What will make you understand, what Saqar is
It is burning fire which leaves nothing and spares none
It shrivels human flesh
It is guarded by nineteen guards
We have appointed none but angels as wardens of the fire; and We have made their number a trial for the unbelievers, so that the People of the Book may be convinced and the faith of the true believers may be increased, and that no doubts will be left for the People of the Book and the believers, and that those in whose hearts there is a disease and the disbelievers may say: "What could Allah mean by this parable?" Thus, Allah leaves to stray whom He wills and guides whom He pleases. No one knows the forces of your Lord except Himself, and this (Qur'an) is nothing but a reminder to mankind
Nay! By the moon
by the departing nigh
and by the coming of dawn
surely this hellfire is one of mighty scourge
a warning to mankind
to any of you who chooses to go forward or to lag behind
Every soul is held in pledge for its deeds
except the people of the right hand
who shall be in paradise. They will as
from the culprits
What brought you into hell
They will answer: "We did not use to offer the Salah (prayers)
we did not use to feed the poor
we used to join those who wasted their time in vain talk
and we used to deny the Day of Judgment
until death overtook us."
On that Day, no intercession of any intercessors shall profit them
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from this admonition
Like frightened donkey
fleeing from a lion
Nay, each of them wants a scripture of his own to be unrolled before them
But no! The fact is that they do not fear the Hereafter
But no! Surely this Qur’an is an admonition
Let him who wills take heed
But none takes heed except by the will of Allah. He Alone is worthy to be feared and He Alone is worthy to forgive those who fear Him
