Surah “The Cloaked One, The Man Wearing a Cloak, The Clothed One”

O you enveloped in your cloak

Arise, and warn

and magnify the glory of your Lord

and purify your robes

and shun uncleanness

and bestow not favour in order to seek from others a greater return

and persevere for your Lord´s sake

When the Trumpet shall be sounded

that will surely be a hard day

not an easy day for the unbelievers

Leave Me with him whom I alone have created

whom I have endowed with abundant riches

and sons ever present with him

and for whom I have smoothed the way (to power and riches)

and who still greedily desires that I should bestow upon him more

By no means; he is stubbornly opposed to Our Signs

I shall soon constrain him to a hard ascent

He reflected and then hatched a scheme

Ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme

Again, ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme

He looked (at others)

then frowned and scowled

then he retreated and waxed proud

and said: "This (Qur´an) is merely a sorcery of yore

this is nothing but the word of a mere mortal!"

Him shall I soon roast in Hell

And what do you know what Hell is

It spares nothing; it leaves nothing intact

it scorches (even) the skin

Over it are nineteen keepers

We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers´ faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: "What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?" Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed

Nay, by the moon

and by the night when it recedes

and by the day when it dawns (with its radiance)

surely (Hell) is one of the greatest Signs

a warning to humankind

a warning to everyone of you whether he would like to come forward or lag behind

Each one is a hostage to one´s deeds

save the People of the Right Han

who shall be in the Gardens, and shall as

about the guilty ones

"What drove you to Hell?"

They will answer: "We were not among those who observed Prayer

and we did not feed the poor

and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk

and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgemen

until the inevitable event overtook us."

The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to them

What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation

as though they were frightened wild asses

fleeing from a lion

No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them

No indeed; the truth is that they have no fear of the Hereafter

Nay; this is an Exhortation

So, whoever wills may benefit from it

But they will not benefit from it unless Allah Himself so wills. He is worthy to be feared; and He is worthy to forgive (those that fear Him)
