English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

O thou enveloped

Arise, and warn

And thine Lord magnify

And thine raiment purify

And pollution shun

And bestow not favour that thou mayest receive more

And for the good-will of thy Lord be thou patient

Then when the horn shall be blown

That shall be - that Day-a day hard

For the infidels, not easy

Let Me alone with him whom I created lonely

And for whom I appointed wealth extended

And for whom I smoothed everything

And who yet coveteth that shall increase

By no means! Verily he hath been Unto Our signs a foe

Anon I shall afflict him with a fearful woe

Verily he considered, and devised

Perish he! How moliciously he devised

And again perish he! How maliciously he devised

Then looked he

Then frowned he and scowled

Then turned he back, and grew stiff-necked

Then he said: naught is this but magic from of old

Naught is this but the word of Man

Anon shall I roast him into the Scorching Fire

And what knoweth thou that which the Scorching Fire

It shall not spare, nor leave

Scorching the skin

Over it are appointed nineteen

And We have appointed none but the angels to be wardens of the Fire. And their number we have made only a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who are vouchsafed the Book may be convinced, and that those who believe may increase in faith, and that those who are vouchsafed the Book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the infidels may say: what meaneth Allah by this description! In this wise Allah sendeth astray whomsoever He will, and guideth whomsoever He will. And none knoweth the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but an admonition Unto man

By no means! By the moon

By the night when it with draweth

By the morning when it brighteneth

Verily it is one of the greatest woes

A warning Unto humankind

A warning Unto him of you who shall go forward or who chooseth to lag behind

Every soul will be a pledge for that which it hath earned

Save the fellows of the right

In Gardens; they shall be asking

Concerning the culprits

What led you into the Scorching Fire

They will say. 'we have not been of those who prayed

And we have not been feeding the poor

And we have been wading with the waders

And we have been belying the Day of Requital

until there came to us the certainty

Then there will not Profit them intercision of the interceders

What aileth them, therefore, that they are from the Admonition turning away

As though they were asses startled

Fleeing away from a lion

Aye! every one of them desireth that: he should be vouchsafed scrolls expanded

By no means! Aye, they fear not the Hereafter

By no means! Verily this Qur'an is an Admonition

So whosoever willeth may heed it

And they shall not heed unless Allah Willeth. He is the Lord of piety. and the Lord of forgiveness
