English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

O you wrapped up

Arise and deliver your warning

And praise your Lord

And your garments, keep free from stain

And avoid all abomination

Nor expect from giving, any increase

But for your Lord’s sake, be patient and constant

Finally, when the trumpet is sounded

That day, will be a day of distress

Far from easy for those without faith

Leave Me alone with those that I created alone

To whom I granted resources in abundance

And children to be by his side

To whom I made life smooth and comfortable

Yet he is greedy. Should I add even more

By no mean, because to Our signs he has been rebellious

Soon I will visit him with a mount of disasters

For he thought and he plotted

Oh, how he plotted

Yes, woe to him, how he plotted

Then he looked around

Then he frowned and he scowled

Then he turned back and was arrogant

Then said he, “This is nothing but deception, derived from those before

“This is nothing but the word of a mortal.”

Soon I will cast him into hellfire

And what will explain to you what hellfire is

Nothing does it permit to endure, and nothing does it leave alone

Darkening and changing the color of human beings

Over it are nineteen

And We have set none other than angels as guardians of the fire. And We have fixed their number only as a challenge for unbelievers, in order that the people of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the believers may increase in faith, and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Book and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease, and the unbelievers may say, “What meaning does God intend by this?” So God leaves to stray whom He pleases, and guides whom He pleases, and none can know the forces of your Lord except Him. And this is no other than a warning to humanity

No, indeed by the Moon

And by the night as it retreats

And by the dawn as it shines forth

Indeed it is one of the greatest

A warning to humanity

To any of you who chooses to press forward, or to fall behind

Every soul will be held responsible for its deeds

Except the companions of the right hand

They will be in gardens. They will ask

Those who were corrupt

“What led you into hellfire?”

They will say, “We were not of those who prayed

“Nor were we of those who fed the indigent

“But we used to speak vainly with vain people

“And we used to deny the Day of Accountability

“Until there came to us that which is certain.”

Then will no intercession of intercessors profit them

As if they were affrighted animals

Fleeing from a lion

Still each one of them wants to be given scrolls spread out

By no means, but they are not conscious of the hereafter

No, indeed it is a reminder

Let any who wills keep it in remembrance

But none will keep it in remembrance except as God wills. He is the Lord of righteousness, and the Lord of forgiveness
