English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

stand up and warn

Magnify your Lord

purify your clothing

and steer clear of filth

Do not give so much away that you must ask for more

act patiently towards your Lord! The Last Trumpet

When the bugle is sounded on that day

it will be such a harsh day

anything but easy on disbelievers

Leave Me Alone with anyone I have created to be lonely

to whom I have granted ample wealth

and some standing before him

and for whom I have smoothed things over

Still he aspires for Me to add even more [to it]

Of course not; he has acted stubbornly towards Our signs

I shall weigh him down with mounting trouble

Let him think things over and measure them out

Yet he still will be damned just as he has measured

once again, he will be killed just as he has measured things out

Then he looked

next he frowned and scowled

then he stepped back, glanced around haughtily

and said: "This is just some magic which has been handed down

this is merely a statement made by some human being

I´ll roast him by scorching

What will make you realize what scorching is

It spares nothing nor leaves anything over

as it shrivels human [flesh]

Over it there are Nineteen

We have placed none but angels as guardians of the Fire. We have placed such a number merely as a test for those who disbelieve, to convince the ones who have been given the Book, while those who believe may be increased in [their] faith; and so the ones who have been given the Book as well as believers may not doubt, while the ones in whose hearts there lurks mahce, as well as disbelievers will say: "What does God want to compare this to ?" Thus God lets anyone He wishes go astray while He guides whomever He wishes. No one knows your Lord´s armies except He Himself. It is only a Reminder for humanity

Indeed not; by the moon

and night as it retreats

and morning when it shines forth

it is one of the greatest [signs]

[given] as a waming for humanity

for anyone of you who wishes to advance or lag behind

Each soul is [held] as a pledge for anything he has earned

except for the companions on the Right

who will be in gardens enquiring

about the criminals

Whatever induced you to be scorched

They will say: "We were not among the prayerful

nor did we feed the needy

We speculated along with the speculators

and kept denying [about appearing on] the Day for Repayment

until [its] certainty came home to us

No intercession by any mediators will benefit them

What is wrong with them that they avoid remembering [God]

as if they were startled donkeys

who have just fled from a lioness

Yet every last man among them wants to be handed scriptures all spread out

Of course, it is rather because they do not fear the Here- after

Indeed, it is a Reminder

so let anyone who wishes to, remember it

Yet they will not remember except however God may wish. He is Entitled to be heeded, as well as entitled to grant forgiveness
