English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

You who are enveloped in your cloak

Arise and warn

Magnify your Lord

Purify your clothes

Shun all filth

Do not give out of a desire for gain

Be steadfast for your Lord

that Day will be a difficult day

not easy for the kafirun

Leave the person I created on his own to Me alone

him to whom I have given great wealth

and sons who stay with him

and whose way I have smoothed

Then he wants Me to add yet more

No indeed! He is obdurate about Our Signs

I will force him to climb a fiery slope

He reflected and considered

Curse him, how he considered

Again curse him, how he considered

Then he looked

Then he frowned and glowered

Then he drew back and was proud

He said, ´This is nothing but magic from the past

This is nothing but the words of a human being.´

I will roast him in Saqar

What will convey to you what Saqar is

It does not spare and does not ease up

ceaselessly scorching the flesh

There are nineteen in charge of it

We have only appointed angels as masters of the Fire and We have only specified their number as a trial for those who are kafir; so that those who were given the Book might gain in certainty, and those who have iman might increase in their iman, and both those who were given the Book and the muminun might have no doubt; and so that those with sickness in their hearts and the kuffar might say, ´What did Allah intend by this example?´ In this way Allah misguides those He wills and guides those He wills. No one knows the legions of your Lord but Him. This is nothing but a reminder to all human beings

No indeed! By the moon

and the night when it withdraws

and the dawn when it grows bright

it truly is one of the greatest of all things

a warning to human beings

for any of you who want to go forward or hang back

Every self is held in pledge against what it earned

except for the companions of the Right

In Gardens they will ask

ask the evildoers

´What caused you to enter Saqar?´

They will say, ´We were not among those who did salat

and we did not feed the poor

We plunged with those who plunged

and denied the Day of Judgment

until the Certain came to us.´

The intercession of the interceders will not help them

What is the matter with them that they run from the Reminder

like panicked donkeys

fleeing from a lion

In fact each one of them wants to be given an unfurled scroll

No indeed! The truth is they do not fear the Next World

No indeed! It is truly a reminder

to which anyone who wills may pay heed

But they will only pay heed if Allah wills. He is entitled to be feared and entitled to forgive
