74:1 |
|
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
|
74:2 |
|
Arise and deliver thy warning!
|
74:3 |
|
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
|
74:4 |
|
And thy garments keep free from stain!
|
74:5 |
|
And all abomination shun!
|
74:6 |
|
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
|
74:7 |
|
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
|
74:8 |
|
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
|
74:9 |
|
That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,-
|
74:10 |
|
Far from easy for those without Faith.
|
74:11 |
|
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!-
|
74:12 |
|
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
|
74:13 |
|
And sons to be by his side!-
|
74:14 |
|
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
|
74:15 |
|
Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);-
|
74:16 |
|
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
|
74:17 |
|
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
|
74:18 |
|
For he thought and he plotted;-
|
74:19 |
|
And woe to him! How he plotted!-
|
74:20 |
|
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!-
|
74:21 |
|
Then he looked round;
|
74:22 |
|
Then he frowned and he scowled;
|
74:23 |
|
Then he turned back and was haughty;
|
74:24 |
|
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
|
74:25 |
|
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
|
74:26 |
|
Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!
|
74:27 |
|
And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?
|
74:28 |
|
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-
|
74:29 |
|
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
|
74:30 |
|
Over it are Nineteen.
|
74:31 |
|
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this ?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
|
74:32 |
|
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
|
74:33 |
|
And by the Night as it retreateth,
|
74:34 |
|
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
|
74:35 |
|
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
|
74:36 |
|
A warning to mankind,-
|
74:37 |
|
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-
|
74:38 |
|
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
|
74:39 |
|
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
|
74:40 |
|
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
|
74:41 |
|
And (ask) of the Sinners:
|
74:42 |
|
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
|
74:43 |
|
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
|
74:44 |
|
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
|
74:45 |
|
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
|
74:46 |
|
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
|
74:47 |
|
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
|
74:48 |
|
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
|
74:49 |
|
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?-
|
74:50 |
|
As if they were affrighted asses,
|
