English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

O you (who are) covered with cloth

Rise, then warn

and then (declare) the greatness of your Lord

and then keep your clothes clean

and then forsake uncleanliness

and do not bestow favour (with the intention of) receiving more (in return)

and then be patient for (the sake of) your Lord

So (the day) when the trumpet will be sounded

then that day will be the day of difficulty

it will not be easy for the disbelievers

Leave Me and him whom I created alone

and assigned to him extensive wealth

and sons who are witnessed (being always present before him)

and made habitable for him (his) habitation

(Even) then he hopes that I would give him more

By no means ! he offers opposition to Our signs

I will involve him in a severe punishment

He reflected and made a programme

So be he killed, how he made a programme

again be he killed, how he made a programme

Then he looked

then he frowned and made a face

then he turned away considering himself great

then said, “This is nothing but magic derived from the ancient

this is nothing but the statement of man.”

I will make him enter hell

And what will make you realize what hell is

It does not let (anything) to remain nor does it spare

It will burn and darken the skin (of man)

Over it are nineteen

And We have not appointed the guardians of hell, other than the angels, and We have not fixed their number but for the affliction of those who do not believe. So that those who are given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in belief and those who were given the book and the believers may not be doubtful. And those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say, “What does God intend by this similitude?” Thus God leaves to stray whom He wills and He guides whom He wills and no one knows the forces of your Lord except He Himself and this is nothing but a reminder to man

No, by the moon

and the night when it retreats

and the day when it shines

it (the news of hell) is certainly a great

to him among you who wills to advance or remain behind

Every soul is held in pledge (security) for that which it earned

except the companions of the right hand

in gardens, asking each other

about the criminals

“What has brought you into the hell?”

They will say, “We were not of those who offered worship (salat)

and we did not feed the poor

and we used to involve ourselves in idle talk with those involved in idle talk

and we used to deny the day of judgment

till (death) which is certain came to us.”

So the mediation of mediators will not be of benefit to them

So what is (wrong) with them that they turn away from the reminder

as if they are frightened asses

fleeing from a lion

No, every man from among them desires that he should be given open pages

No, they do not fear the hereafter

No, it is certainly a reminder

so whoever wills may mind it

and they do not mind unless God wills, He is worthy to be feared and capable to be Protectively Forgiving
