74:1  O thou who art covered

74:2  arise and warn

74:3  Thy Lord magnify

74:4  Thy garments purify

74:5  And defilement shun

74:6  Grant not favor, seeking gain

74:7  And for the sake of thy Lord be patient

74:8  For when the trumpet is blown

74:9  that Day shall be a difficult da

74:10  for the disbelievers, not of ease

74:11  Leave Me alone with the one whom I created

74:12  and to whom I gave vast wealth

74:13  and sons at his side

74:14  and made smooth the way for him

74:15  Yet he desires that I give more

74:16  Nay! Truly he sets himself against Our signs

74:17  I shall constrain him to endure a steep ascent

74:18  Truly he reflected and determined

74:19  May he perish for how he determined

74:20  then may he perish for how he determined

74:21  Then he beheld

74:22  Then he frowned and scowled

74:23  Then he turned his back, and waxed arrogant

74:24  and said, “This is naught but sorcery handed down

74:25  this is naught but the speech of a human being.

74:26  I shall cast him into Saqar

74:27  And what will apprise thee of Saqar

74:28  It spares not, nor leaves behind

74:29  It scorches the human being

74:30  Over it are nineteen

74:31  And We have appointed none but angels as wardens of the Fire; and We have not appointed their number save as a trial for those who disbelieve, to grant certainty to those who have been given the Book and increase in faith those who believe; and that those who were given the Book and the believers will not doubt; and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers will say, “What does God desire by this as a parable?” Thus does God lead astray whomsoever He will and guide whomsoever He will. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. It is but a reminder for the human being

74:32  Nay! By the moon

74:33  by the night as it withdraws

74:34  and by the morning as it brightens

74:35  truly it is one of the greatest

74:36  as a warner to the human being

74:37  for those of you who wish to go forth or stay behind

74:38  Every soul is held in pledge for what it has earned

74:39  save the companions of the right

74:40  in Gardens, questioning one anothe

74:41  about the guilty

74:42  “What led you into Saqar?

74:43  They say, “We were not among those who prayed

74:44  nor did we feed the indigent

74:45  and we engaged in vain discourse with those who do the same

74:46  and we denied the Day of Judgment

74:47  until certainty came upon us.

74:48  Thus the intercession of the intercessors will avail them not

74:49  So what ails them that they turn away from the Reminder

74:50  as if they were frightened asse

74:51  fleeing from a lion

74:52  Rather, every man among them desires to be given pages unfolded

74:53  Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter

74:54  Yea! Truly it is a reminder

74:55  So let whosoever will, remember it

74:56  And they remember not, save as God wills. He is most worthy of reverence and most worthy of granting forgiveness
