74:1  O you shrouded (in your mantle)

74:2  Rise up (and) so warn

74:3  And so your Lord magnify

74:4  And so your clothes purify

74:5  And so defilement forsake

74:6  And be not bountiful, (hoping) to gain more

74:7  And to your Lord (endure) patiently

74:8  So when Trumpet is sounded (Literally: trumpeted)

74:9  Upon that Day then it will be a difficult Day

74:10  For the disbelievers, other than being easy

74:11  Leave Me with him whom I created alone

74:12  And set up (Literally: made) for him extensive wealth

74:13  And sons always in presence

74:14  And made (life) smooth for him in an accessible (way)

74:15  Thereafter he expects that I increase (My favors)

74:16  Not at all! Surely he has been stubborn to Our signs

74:17  I will soon oppress him to a (hard) mounting (in calamities)

74:18  Surely he did think and he determined

74:19  So, may he be slain, how he determined

74:20  Again, (Literally: Thereafter) may he be slain, how he determined

74:21  Thereafter he looked (round)

74:22  Thereafter he frowned, and he scowled

74:23  Thereafter he withdrew, and he waxed proud

74:24  So he said, "Decidedly this is nothing except sorcery, transmitted relics

74:25  Decidedly this is nothing except the speech of mortals."

74:26  I shall soon roast him in Saqar

74:27  And what makes you realize what Saqar is

74:28  It neither spares (i.e., no survivors remain) nor leaves (anything) behind

74:29  Shriveling mortals

74:30  Over it are nineteen

74:31  And in no way have We made the Wardens (Literally: companions) of the Fire except Angels, and in no way have We made their (right) number except as a temptation for the ones who have disbelieved, (and) that the ones to whom the Book has been brought may have certitude, and that the ones who have believed may increase in belief, and that the ones to whom the Book has been brought and the believers may not be suspicious, and that the ones in whose hearts there is sickness and the disbelievers may say, "What would Allah intend by this as a similitude?" Thus does Allah lead into error whomever He decides, and He guides whomever He decides, and in no way does anyone know the hosts of your Lord except He. And in no way is it anything except a Reminding to the mortals

74:32  Not at all! And (by) the moon

74:33  And the night as it with draws

74:34  And the morning when it shines (forth)

74:35  Surely it is indeed one of the greatest things

74:36  As a warning to mortals

74:37  To whomever of you who decides to go forward or postpone (i.e., performing righteous deeds or falling into evil)

74:38  Every self will be pledged for whatever it has earned

74:39  Except the companions of the Right

74:40  In Gardens they will ask one another (questions)

74:41  Concerning the criminals

74:42  "What inserted you into Saqar?"

74:43  They will say, "We were not of the ones who prayed

74:44  And we did not feed the indigent

74:45  And we used to wade with the waders, (i.e., wade in vaintalk)

74:46  And we used to cry lies to the Day of Doom

74:47  Until the Certitude came up to us."

74:48  So in no way will the intercession of the intercessors profit them

74:49  Then what is it with them that they are veering away from the Reminder

74:50  As if they were stampeding reddish asses

74:51  Fleeing from a fierce beast? (Or: animal

74:52  No indeed, every person of them would like scrolls spread open to be brought him

74:53  Not at all! No indeed, (but) they do not fear the Hereafter

74:54  Not at all! Surely it is a Reminder

74:55  So whoever decides will remember it

74:56  And in no way will they remember, except that Allah decides. He is The Source (Literally: The only Qualified One) of piety and The Source of forgiveness
