74:1  O you (Prophet) wrapped up (in garments, blanket)

74:2  Get up and announce your warning

74:3  And you praise your Lord

74:4  And keep your clothes cleansed

74:5  And stay away from all pollution

74:6  And do not expect, in giving (the warning), any gain (for yourself)

74:7  And for (the duties) to your Lord be patient and unchanging

74:8  Then, when the trumpet is sounded

74:9  Truly, that will be — That Day, — A Day of suffering—

74:10  Far from being easy for the disbelievers

74:11  Leave Me Alone, to deal with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone

74:12  And then to whom I (reference to Allah, have) granted resources in plenty

74:13  And children to be by his side! —

74:14  And made (life) smooth and comfortable for him

74:15  Yet is he greedy that I should add (more and more), —

74:16  Nay! Truly, he has been opposing Our Signs

74:17  Soon will I visit him with a mountain of miseries

74:18  Verily, he thought and he plotted—

74:19  So, let him be the cursed (one)! How he plotted

74:20  And again let him be the cursed (one)! How he plotted

74:21  Then he thought (a little)

74:22  Then he and frowned (in anger) and glowered (with rage)

74:23  Then he turned back and was haughty

74:24  Then he said: "This is nothing but magic taken from the old

74:25  "This is nothing but the word of a (mere) human being!"

74:26  Soon will I throw him into the Fire of Hell

74:27  And what will explain to you what is the Fire of Hell

74:28  Neither will it permit to tolerate, nor does it leave alone

74:29  Darkening and changing (and burning away) the color of man

74:30  Over it are nineteen (angels as the keepers)

74:31  And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire: And We have fixed their number (at 19 and it is so written in other Books) confirming it only as a trial for unbelievers— So that the People of the Book (Scripture) may become certain, and the believers may become convinced of their Faith— And that no doubts may be left for the People(s) of the Book (Scripture), and the believers; And that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the unbelievers may say, "What does Allah mean by this (symbol of 19 angels)?" Thus does Allah leave to wander those whom He pleases, and guide those whom He pleases. And none can know the forces of your Lord, except He. And this is no other than a warning to mankind

74:32  No, surely, by the moon

74:33  And by the night, as it leaves

74:34  And by the morning, as it shines forward—

74:35  Verily, this is but one of the mighty (events unfortunate to the disbelievers)

74:36  A warning to mankind—

74:37  To any one of you who chooses to move forward, or to those that fall behind—

74:38  Every soul will be (held) to account for its deeds

74:39  Except the companions of the right hand

74:40  (They will be) in Gardens (of happiness): They will question each other

74:41  And (ask) of the sinners

74:42  "What led you into the Fire of Hell?"

74:43  They will say: "We were not from those who prayed

74:44  "Nor were we from those who fed the poor

74:45  "And we used to speak idle-talk with those who spoke against Truth

74:46  "And we used to reject the Day of Judgment

74:47  "Until there came upon us (the Hour) that is certain."

74:48  There will be no pleading or intercession from (any) pleaders (to) profit them

74:49  Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from plain warning—

74:50  As if they were frightened wild donkeys

74:51  Running away from a lion

74:52  No doubt, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of Revelation from Allah) spread out

74:53  By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter

74:54  Nay! Verily, this surely is a (stern) warning

74:55  Let any who will keep it (the warning) in memory

74:56  And they will not keep it in memory (mind) except as Allah wills: He is the One Who deserving the righteousness (with prayer and supplication to Him) and He is the One Who grants forgiveness (of the sins)
