74:1  O Muddaththir (the one enveloped - one of the nicknames of Prophet Muhammad)

74:2  Stand up and warn

74:3  Proclaim the greatness of your Lord

74:4  purify your clothes

74:5  keep yourself away from uncleanliness

74:6  do not favor others to expect a 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 very difficult Day

74:10  not easy for the disbelievers

74:11  Leave Me and the one (Walid bin Mughirah, a staunch opponent of the Prophet) whom I created, alone

74:12  I gave him abundant resources

74:13  thriving sons

74:14  and made his life smooth and comfortable

74:15  Yet he hopes that I shall give him more

74:16  By no means! Because he has stubbornly denied Our revelations

74:17  Soon I shall make him suffer mounting calamities

74:18  surely he pondered and devised a plot

74:19  May he perish, how he plotted

74:20  Again, may he perish, how he plotted

74:21  He looked around

74:22  frowned and scowled

74:23  then he turned his back in scornful prid

74:24  and said: "This is nothing but a magic from the old

74:25  this is nothing but the word of a human being."

74:26  Soon I shall cast him into Saqar

74:27  What will make you understand, what Saqar is

74:28  It is burning fire which leaves nothing and spares none

74:29  It shrivels human flesh

74:30  It is guarded by nineteen guards

74:31  We have appointed none but angels as wardens of the fire; and We have made their number a trial for the unbelievers, so that the People of the Book may be convinced and the faith of the true believers may be increased, and that no doubts will be left for the People of the Book and the believers, and that those in whose hearts there is a disease and the disbelievers may say: "What could Allah mean by this parable?" Thus, Allah leaves to stray whom He wills and guides whom He pleases. No one knows the forces of your Lord except Himself, and this (Qur'an) is nothing but a reminder to mankind

74:32  Nay! By the moon

74:33  by the departing nigh

74:34  and by the coming of dawn

74:35  surely this hellfire is one of mighty scourge

74:36  a warning to mankind

74:37  to any of you who chooses to go forward or to lag behind

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

74:39  except the people of the right hand

74:40  who shall be in paradise. They will as

74:41  from the culprits

74:42  What brought you into hell

74:43  They will answer: "We did not use to offer the Salah (prayers)

74:44  we did not use to feed the poor

74:45  we used to join those who wasted their time in vain talk

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

74:47  until death overtook us."

74:48  On that Day, no intercession of any intercessors shall profit them

74:49  Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from this admonition

74:50  Like frightened donkey

74:51  fleeing from a lion

74:52  Nay, each of them wants a scripture of his own to be unrolled before them

74:53  But no! The fact is that they do not fear the Hereafter

74:54  But no! Surely this Qur’an is an admonition

74:55  Let him who wills take heed

74:56  But none takes heed except by the will of Allah. He Alone is worthy to be feared and He Alone is worthy to forgive those who fear Him
