74-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O thou enveloped in thy cloak,

74-2 : Arise and warn!

74-3 : Thy Lord magnify,

74-4 : Thy raiment purify,

74-5 : Pollution shun!

74-6 : And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!

74-7 : For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!

74-8 : For when the trumpet shall sound,

74-9 : Surely that day will be a day of anguish,

74-10 : Not of ease, for disbelievers.

74-11 : Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,

74-12 : And then bestowed upon him ample means,

74-13 : And sons abiding in his presence

74-14 : And made (life) smooth for him.

74-15 : Yet he desireth that I should give more.

74-16 : Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.

74-17 : On him I shall impose a fearful doom.

74-18 : For lo! he did consider; then he planned -

74-19 : (Self - )destroyed is he, how he planned!

74-20 : Again (self - )destroyed is he, how he planned! -

74-21 : Then looked he,

74-22 : Then frowned he and showed displeasure.

74-23 : Then turned he away in pride

74-24 : And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;

74-25 : This is naught else than speech of mortal man.

74-26 : Him shall I fling unto the burning.

74-27 : - Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -

74-28 : It leaveth naught; it spareth naught

74-29 : It shrivelleth the man.

74-30 : Above it are nineteen.

74-31 : We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

74-32 : Nay, by the Moon

74-33 : And the night when it withdraweth

74-34 : And the dawn when it shineth forth,

74-35 : Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)

74-36 : As a warning unto men,

74-37 : Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

74-38 : Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;

74-39 : Save those who will stand on the right hand.

74-40 : In gardens they will ask one another

74-41 : Concerning the guilty:

74-42 : What hath brought you to this burning ?

74-43 : They will answer: We were not of those who prayed

74-44 : Nor did we feed the wretched.

74-45 : We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,

74-46 : And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

74-47 : Till the Inevitable came unto us.

74-48 : The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

74-49 : Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,

74-50 : As they were frightened asses

74-51 : Fleeing from a lion ?

74-52 : Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).

74-53 : Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.

74-54 : Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.

74-55 : So whosoever will may heed.

74-56 : And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
