    Verse 1

    O you covered [in your cloak]

    Verse 2

    arise and warn

    Verse 3

    and proclaim the greatness of your Lord

    Verse 4

    and purify your garments

    Verse 5

    and shun idol worshiping

    Verse 6

    and do not do a favor for a greater return

    Verse 7

    and be patient for the sake of your Lord

    Verse 8

    When the Trumpet is sounded

    Verse 9

    that Day will be a difficult day

    Verse 10

    not easy for the disbelievers

    Verse 11

    Leave me alone to deal with the one whom I created

    Verse 12

    and gave him abundant wealth

    Verse 13

    and sons by his side

    Verse 14

    and gave him a life of comfort and power

    Verse 15

    yet he aspires that I should give him more

    Verse 16

    By no means! For he has been stubborn against Our verses

    Verse 17

    I will subject him to an unbearable punishment

    Verse 18

    For he reflected and plotted [against the Qur’an]

    Verse 19

    May he perish, how he plotted

    Verse 20

    Again, may he perish, how he plotted

    Verse 21

    Then he looked around

    Verse 22

    then he frowned and scowled

    Verse 23

    then turned away with arrogance

    Verse 24

    then said, “This is nothing but magic from the past

    Verse 25

    This is nothing but the words of a man.”

    Verse 26

    Soon I will make him burn in the Scorching Fire

    Verse 27

    How do you know what Scorching Fire is

    Verse 28

    It leaves nothing and spares no one

    Verse 29

    scorching the skin

    Verse 30

    It is overseen by nineteen [angels]

    Verse 31

    We have only appointed angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have only made their number as a test for the disbelievers, so that those who were given the Scripture may have certainty and the believers may increase in faith; and neither those who were given the Scripture nor the believers may have any doubts; and so that those [hypocrites] in whose hearts is sickness and the disbelievers may say, “What does Allah mean by this number?” Thus Allah causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills, and none knows the soldiers of your Lord but He. This is but a reminder to mankind

    Verse 32

    No indeed! By the moon

    Verse 33

    and by the night when it departs

    Verse 34

    and by the dawn when it brightens

    Verse 35

    Hellfire is indeed one of the greatest matters

    Verse 36

    a warning to mankind

    Verse 37

    to whoever among you chooses to advance or regress

    Verse 38

    Every soul is held in pledge for its deeds

    Verse 39

    except the People of the Right

    Verse 40

    who will be in gardens, asking one another

    Verse 41

    about the wicked

    Verse 42

    “What brought you to Hell?”

    Verse 43

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

    Verse 44

    nor did we feed the poor

    Verse 45

    and we indulged in falsehood along with those who indulged in it

    Verse 46

    and we denied the Day of Judgment

    Verse 47

    until the certainty [of death] came to us.”

    Verse 48

    So the intercession of intercessors will not benefit them

    Verse 49

    Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from the Reminder

    Verse 50

    as if they were terrified wild asses

    Verse 51

    fleeing from a lion

    Verse 52

    In fact, each one of them desires that open [divine] letters be sent to each of them

    Verse 53

    By no means! They rather do not fear the Hereafter

    Verse 54

    No indeed! This [Qur’an] is a reminder

    Verse 55

    So whoever wills may take heed

    Verse 56

    But they will not take heed unless Allah so wills. He is most worthy to be feared and most worthy to forgive
