English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

O you who are clothed

Arise and warn

And your Lord do magnify

And your garments do purify

And uncleanness do shun

And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase

And for the sake of your Lord, be patient

For when the trumpet is sounded

That, at that time, shall be a difficult day

For the unbelievers, anything but easy

Leave Me and him whom I created alone

And give him vast riches

And sons dwelling in his presence

And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably

And yet he desires that I should add more

By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications

I will make a distressing punishment overtake him

Surely he reflected and guessed

But may he be cursed how he plotted

Again, may he be cursed how he plotted

Then he frowned and scowled

Then he turned back and was big with pride

Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others)

This is naught but the word of a mortal

I will cast him into hell

And what will make you realize what hell is

It leaves naught nor does it spare aught

It scorches the mortal

Over it are nineteen

And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals

Nay; I swear by the moon

And the night when it departs

And the daybreak when it shines

Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes)

A warning to mortals

To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind

Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns

Except the people of the right hand

In gardens, they shall ask each other

About the guilty

What has brought you into hell

They shall say: We were not of those who prayed

And we used not to feed the poor

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses

And we used to call the day of judgment a lie

Till death overtook us

So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them

What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

As if they were asses taking fright

That had fled from a lion

Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out

Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter

Nay! it is surely an admonition

So whoever pleases may mind it

And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive
