English - Chapter 74 - Al-Muddaththir

O you who covers himself [with a garment]

Arise and warn

And your Lord glorify

And your clothing purify

And uncleanliness avoid

And do not confer favor to acquire more

But for your Lord be patient

And when the trumpet is blown

That Day will be a difficult day

For the disbelievers - not easy

Leave Me with the one I created alone

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

And children present [with him]

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life]

Then he desires that I should add more

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate

I will cover him with arduous torment

Indeed, he thought and deliberated

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

Then he considered [again]

Then he frowned and scowled

Then he turned back and was arrogant

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others]

This is not but the word of a human being

I will drive him into Saqar

And what can make you know what is Saqar

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned]

Blackening the skins

Over it are nineteen [angels]

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity

No! By the moon

And [by] the morning when it brightens

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

As a warning to humanity

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

Except the companions of the right

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

About the criminals

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar

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

Nor did we used to feed the poor

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it]

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

Until there came to us the certainty

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

As if they were alarmed donkeys

Fleeing from a lion

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

Then whoever wills will remember it

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness
