74:1  O you enveloped in your cloak

74:2  Arise, and warn

74:3  and magnify the glory of your Lord

74:4  and purify your robes

74:5  and shun uncleanness

74:6  and bestow not favour in order to seek from others a greater return

74:7  and persevere for your Lord´s sake

74:8  When the Trumpet shall be sounded

74:9  that will surely be a hard day

74:10  not an easy day for the unbelievers

74:11  Leave Me with him whom I alone have created

74:12  whom I have endowed with abundant riches

74:13  and sons ever present with him

74:14  and for whom I have smoothed the way (to power and riches)

74:15  and who still greedily desires that I should bestow upon him more

74:16  By no means; he is stubbornly opposed to Our Signs

74:17  I shall soon constrain him to a hard ascent

74:18  He reflected and then hatched a scheme

74:19  Ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme

74:20  Again, ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme

74:21  He looked (at others)

74:22  then frowned and scowled

74:23  then he retreated and waxed proud

74:24  and said: "This (Qur´an) is merely a sorcery of yore

74:25  this is nothing but the word of a mere mortal!"

74:26  Him shall I soon roast in Hell

74:27  And what do you know what Hell is

74:28  It spares nothing; it leaves nothing intact

74:29  it scorches (even) the skin

74:30  Over it are nineteen keepers

74:31  We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers´ faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: "What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?" Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed

74:32  Nay, by the moon

74:33  and by the night when it recedes

74:34  and by the day when it dawns (with its radiance)

74:35  surely (Hell) is one of the greatest Signs

74:36  a warning to humankind

74:37  a warning to everyone of you whether he would like to come forward or lag behind

74:38  Each one is a hostage to one´s deeds

74:39  save the People of the Right Han

74:40  who shall be in the Gardens, and shall as

74:41  about the guilty ones

74:42  "What drove you to Hell?"

74:43  They will answer: "We were not among those who observed Prayer

74:44  and we did not feed the poor

74:45  and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk

74:46  and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgemen

74:47  until the inevitable event overtook us."

74:48  The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to them

74:49  What is the matter with people that they are turning away from this Exhortation

74:50  as though they were frightened wild asses

74:51  fleeing from a lion

74:52  No indeed; each one of them desires that open letters be sent to each of them

74:53  No indeed; the truth is that they have no fear of the Hereafter

74:54  Nay; this is an Exhortation

74:55  So, whoever wills may benefit from it

74:56  But they will not benefit from it unless Allah Himself so wills. He is worthy to be feared; and He is worthy to forgive (those that fear Him)
