74:1  YOU THAT are wrapped up in your cloak

74:2  arise and give warning

74:3  Magnify your Lord

74:4  purify your garments

74:5  and keep away from uncleanness

74:6  Bestow no favours expecting gain

74:7  Be patient for your Lord‘s sake

74:8  The day the Trumpet sound

74:9  shall be a har

74:10  and joyless day for the unbelievers

74:11  Leave to Me the man whom I created helples

74:12  and endowed with vast riche

74:13  and thriving children

74:14  I have made his progress smooth and easy

74:15  yet he greedily hopes that I shall give him more

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

74:17  I will lay on him a mounting torment

74:18  He pondered, and he schemed

74:19  Confound him, how he schemed

74:20  Again, confound him, how he schemed

74:21  He looked around him

74:22  frowning and scowling

74:23  then he turned away in scornful prid

74:24  and said: ‘This is but sorcery counterfeited

74:25  this is but the utterance of a mortal!‘

74:26  I will surely cast him into the Fire

74:27  Would that you knew what the Fire is like

74:28  It leaves nothing, it spares no one

74:29  it burns the skins of mortals

74:30  It is guarded by nineteen keepers

74:31  We have appointed none but angels to guard the Fire, and made their number a subject for dispute among the unbelievers, so that those to whom the Book were given may be convinced and the true believers strengthened in their faith; that those to whom the Book were given, and the true believers, may have no doubts; and that those whose hearts are tainted and unbelievers may say: ‘What could God mean by this as an example?‘ Thus God confounds whom He will and guides whom He pleases. None knows the warriors of your Lord but Himself. This is no more than an Admonition to mankind

74:32  No, by the moon

74:33  By the departing nigh

74:34  and the coming dawn

74:35  it is a dire scourge

74:36  a warning to mankind

74:37  alike to those of you that would march on and those that would remain behind

74:38  Each soul is the hostage of its own deeds

74:39  Those on the right han

74:40  will in Garden

74:41  ask the sinners

74:42  What has brought you into Hell?‘

74:43  They will say: We were never of those who prayed

74:44  nor did we ever feed the destitute

74:45  We engaged in vain discourse with those who engaged in i

74:46  and denied the Day of Reckonin

74:47  till the Inevitable claimed us.‘

74:48  No intercessor‘s plea shall save them

74:49  Why then do they turn away from this reminder

74:50  like frightened asses

74:51  fleeing from a lion

74:52  Indeed, each one of them demands a scripture of his own to be unrolled before him

74:53  No, they have no fear of the Hereafter

74:54  No! This is an Admonition

74:55  Let him who will, be admonished

74:56  But none is admonished except by the will of God. It is God who is the Lord of Goodness and Forgiveness
