Shakir

1 O you who are clothed!

Shakir

2 Arise and warn,

Shakir

3 And your Lord do magnify,

Shakir

4 And your garments do purify,

Shakir

5 And uncleanness do shun,

Shakir

6 And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,

Shakir

7 And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.

Shakir

8 For when the trumpet is sounded,

Shakir

9 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,

Shakir

10 For the unbelievers, anything but easy.

Shakir

11 Leave Me and him whom I created alone,

Shakir

12 And give him vast riches,

Shakir

13 And sons dwelling in his presence,

Shakir

14 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;

Shakir

15 And yet he desires that I should add more!

Shakir

16 By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.

Shakir

17 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.

Shakir

18 Surely he reflected and guessed,

Shakir

19 But may he be cursed how he plotted;

Shakir

20 Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;

Shakir

21 Then he looked,

Shakir

22 Then he frowned and scowled,

Shakir

23 Then he turned back and was big with pride,

Shakir

24 ~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);

Shakir

25 This is naught but the word of a mortal.

Shakir

26 I will cast him into hell.

Shakir

27 And what will make you realize what hell is?

Shakir

28 It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

Shakir

29 It scorches the mortal.

Shakir

30 Over it are nineteen.

Shakir

31 And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

Shakir

32 Nay; I swear by the moon,

Shakir

33 And the night when it departs,

Shakir

34 And the daybreak when it shines;

Shakir

35 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),

Shakir

36 A warning to mortals,

Shakir

37 To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.

Shakir

38 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,

Shakir

39 Except the people of the right hand,

Shakir

40 In gardens, they shall ask each other

Shakir

41 About the guilty:

Shakir

42 What has brought you into hell?

Shakir

43 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;

Shakir

44 And we used not to feed the poor;

Shakir

45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.

Shakir

46 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;

Shakir

47 Till death overtook us.

Shakir

48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.

Shakir

49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

Shakir

50 As if they were asses taking fright

Shakir

51 That had fled from a lion?

Shakir

52 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;

Shakir

53 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.

Shakir

54 Nay! it is surely an admonition.

Shakir

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

Shakir

56 And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
