74:1  You, wrapped in your cloak

74:2  arise and give warning

74:3  Proclaim the greatness of your Lord

74:4  cleanse yourself

74:5  keep away from all filth

74:6  do not be overwhelmed and weaken

74:7  be steadfast in your Lord’s cause

74:8  When the Trumpet sounds

74:9  that will be a Day of anguish for the disbelievers

74:10  They will have no ease

74:11  [Prophet], leave Me to deal with the one I created helpless

74:12  then gave vast wealth

74:13  and sons by his side

74:14  making everything easy for him––

74:15  yet he still hopes I will give him more

74:16  No! He has been stubbornly hostile to Our revelation

74:17  I will inflict a spiralling torment on him

74:18  He planned and plotted––

74:19  devilishly he plotted

74:20  ferociously he plotted!––

74:21  and looke

74:22  and frowned and scowle

74:23  and turned away and behaved arrogantl

74:24  and said, ‘This is just old sorcery

74:25  just the talk of a mortal!’

74:26  I will throw him into the scorching Fire

74:27  What will explain to you what the scorching Fire is

74:28  It spares nothing and leaves nothing

74:29  it scorches the flesh of humans

74:30  there are nineteen in charge of it––

74:31  none other than angels appointed by Us to guard Hellfire- and We have made their number a test for the disbelievers. So those who have been given the Scripture will be certain and those who believe will have their faith increased: neither those who have been given the Scripture nor the believers will have any doubts, but the sick at heart and the disbelievers will say, ‘What could God mean by this description?’ God leaves whoever He will to stray and guides whoever He will- no one knows your Lord’s forces except Him- this [description] is a warning to mortals

74:32  Yes––by the moon

74:33  By the departing night

74:34  By the shining dawn

74:35  It is one of the mightiest things

74:36  a warning to all mortals

74:37  to those of you who choose to go ahead and those who lag behind

74:38  Every soul is held in pledge for its deeds

74:39  but the Companions of the Right will sta

74:40  in Gardens and as

74:41  about the guilty

74:42  ‘What drove you to the Scorching Fire?’ [they will ask]

74:43  and they will answer, ‘We did not pray

74:44  we did not feed the poor

74:45  we indulged with others [in mocking the believers]

74:46  we denied the Day of Judgemen

74:47  until the Certain End came upon us.’

74:48  No intercessor’s plea will benefit them now

74:49  What is the matter with them? Why do they turn away from the warning

74:50  like frightened asse

74:51  fleeing from a lion

74:52  Each one of them demands that a scripture be sent down to him and unrolled before his very eyes

74:53  No! Truly they have no fear of the life to come

74:54  but truly this is a reminder

74:55  Let whoever wishes to take heed do so

74:56  they will only take heed if God so wishes. He is the Lord who should be heeded, the Lord of forgiveness
