74:1
O you shrouded
(in your mantle)—
74:3
And your
sg Lord glorify!
74:4
And your
sg clothes purify!
74:5
And abominations forsake
sg!
74:6
And show
sg no favor, seeking self-gain!
74:7
And to your
sg Lord endure patiently!
74:8
So when the Trumpet is blown,
74:9
that day will be a difficult day
74:10
for the deniers—not easy.
74:11
Leave
sg to Me the one whom I created alone,
74:12
and to whom I gave vast wealth
74:13
and children by his side,
74:14
and smoothed things for him—
74:15
yet he ardently hopes that I give more!
74:16
But no! He was stubborn towards Our signs
74:17
I will exhaust him increasingly.
74:18
He thought and determined.
74:19
May he perish—how he determined!
74:20
Again: may he perish—how he determined!
74:22
then he frowned and scowled,
74:23
then he retreated and acted arrogantly
74:24
and said, “This is nothing but sorcery from the past.
74:25
This is nothing but the word of a human being.”
74:26
I will roast him in Saqar.
74:27
But what can make you
sg realize what Saqar is?
74:28
It neither leaves nor spares;
74:29
it scorches the flesh;
74:30
over it are nineteen.
74:31
And We have not appointed except angels to be wardens of the Fire and have made their number nothing but a means of trial for the deniers—so that those given the Scripture may attain certitude, and those who have attained belief may increase in faith, and those given the Scripture and the believers may not doubt, and so that those in whose hearts is sickness and the deniers may say, “What did Allah desire by this parable?” Thus Allah misguides whomever He wills and guides whomever He wills, and none knows the soldiers of your
sg Lord except He, and this is nothing but a reminder to human beings.
74:32
But no! By the moon.
74:33
By the night as it retreated.
74:34
By the morning when it lights up—
74:35
indeed, it is one of the greatest things:
74:36
a warning to human beings,
74:37
to whomever of you who wishes to advance or regress.
74:38
Every single self is held in pledge for what it has earned,
74:39
except for those on the Right—
74:40
in Gardens
(of Paradise), inquiring
74:41
about the criminals:
74:42
“What drove you into Saqar?”
74:43
They said, “We were not of those who prayed,
74:44
nor did we feed the destitute
sg,
74:45
and we used to indulge
(in falsehood) with those who indulged,
74:46
and we used to deny the Day of Recompense,
74:47
until the certitude
(of death) came to us.”
74:48
So in no way can
the intercession of intercessors help them.
74:49
So why are they disregarding the Reminder,
74:50
as though they were panicked donkeys,
74:51
having fled from a lion?
74:52
Yet every one of them
wants to be given scrolls unrolled.
74:53
But no! Rather, they do not fear the Hereafter.
74:54
But no! It is a Reminder.
74:55
So whoever wills shall remember it.
74:56
Yet they will not remember unless Allah wills; He is Worthy of mindfulness and Worthy of
(bestowing) forgiveness.
