74:1  O you wrapped up in your mantle

74:2  Rise up and warn

74:3  Magnify your Lord

74:4  and purify your cloak

74:5  and keep away from all impurity

74:6  Do not grant a favour seeking a greater gain

74:7  and be patient for the sake of your Lord

74:8  When the Trumpet will be sounded

74:9  that day will be a day of hardship

74:10  not at all easy for the faithless

74:11  Leave Me [to deal] with him whom I created alone

74:12  and then furnished him with extensive means

74:13  and [gave him] sons to be at his side

74:14  and facilitated [all matters] for him

74:15  Still he is eager that I should give him more

74:16  No indeed! He is an obstinate opponent of Our signs

74:17  Soon I will overwhelm him with hardship

74:18  Indeed he reflected and decided

74:19  Perish he, how he decided

74:20  Again, perish he, how he decided

74:21  Then he looked

74:22  then he frowned and scowled

74:23  Then he went away disdainfully

74:24  saying, ‘It is nothing but magic handed down

74:25  It is nothing but the speech of a human being.’

74:26  Soon I shall cast him into Saqar

74:27  And what will show you what is Saqar

74:28  It neither spares nor leaves [anything]

74:29  It burns the skin

74:30  There are nineteen [keepers] over it

74:31  We have assigned only angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have made their number merely a stumbling block for the faithless, and that those given the Book may be reassured, and the faithful may increase in [their] faith, and that those given the Book may not doubt and the faithful [as well], and that those in whose hearts is a sickness may say, and the faithless [along with them], ‘What did Allah mean by this description?’ Thus does Allah lead astray whomever He wishes, and guides whomever He wishes. No one knows the hosts of your Lord except Him, and it is just an admonition for all humans

74:32  No indeed! By the Moon

74:33  By the night when it recedes

74:34  By the dawn when it brightens

74:35  Indeed it is one of the greatest [signs]

74:36  —a warner to all humans

74:37  [alike] for those of you who like to advance ahead and those who would linger behind

74:38  Every soul is hostage to what it has earned

74:39  except the People of the Right Hand

74:40  [They will be] in gardens, questionin

74:41  concerning the guilty

74:42  ‘What drew you into Hell?’

74:43  They will answer, ‘We were not among those who prayed

74:44  Nor did we feed the poor

74:45  We used to gossip along with the gossipers

74:46  and we used to deny the Day of Retribution

74:47  until death came to us.’

74:48  So the intercession of the intercessors will not avail them

74:49  What is the matter with them that they evade the Reminde

74:50  as if they were terrified asse

74:51  fleeing from a lion

74:52  Rather everyone of them desires to be given unrolled scriptures [from Allah]

74:53  No indeed! Rather they do not fear the Hereafter

74:54  No indeed! It is indeed a reminder

74:55  So let anyone who wishes remember it

74:56  And they will not remember unless Allah wishes. He is worthy of [your] being wary [of Him] and He is worthy to forgive
