Yusuf Ali, Surah 74: The Cloaked One (Al-Muddaththir)

Surahs

[1] O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!

[2] Arise and deliver thy warning!

[3] And thy Lord do thou magnify!

[4] And thy garments keep free from stain!

[5] And all abomination shun!

[6] Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!

[7] But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!

[8] Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,

[9] That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,-

[10] Far from easy for those without Faith.

[11] Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!-

[12] To whom I granted resources in abundance,

[13] And sons to be by his side!-

[14] To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!

[15] Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);-

[16] By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!

[17] Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!

[18] For he thought and he plotted;-

[19] And woe to him! How he plotted!-

[20] Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!-

[21] Then he looked round;

[22] Then he frowned and he scowled;

[23] Then he turned back and was haughty;

[24] Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;

[25] "This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"

[26] Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!

[27] And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?

[28] Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-

[29] Darkening and changing the colour of man!

[30] Over it are Nineteen.

[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.

[32] Nay, verily: By the Moon,

[33] And by the Night as it retreateth,

[34] And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-

[35] This is but one of the mighty (portents),

[36] A warning to mankind,-

[37] To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-

[38] Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.

[39] Except the Companions of the Right Hand.

[40] (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,

[41] And (ask) of the Sinners:

[42] "What led you into Hell Fire?"

[43] They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;

[44] "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;

[45] "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;

[46] "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

[47] "Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."

[48] Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.

[49] Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?-

[50] As if they were affrighted asses,

[51] Fleeing from a lion!

[52] Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!

[53] By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,

[54] Nay, this surely is an admonition:

[55] Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!

[56] But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
