The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
| Surah 74
- The Covered One |
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[74.1] O you
who are clothed!
[74.2] Arise and warn,
[74.3] And your Lord do
magnify,
[74.4] And your garments do
purify,
[74.5] And uncleanness do
shun,
[74.6] And bestow not favors
that you may receive again with
increase,
[74.7] And for the sake of
your Lord, be patient.
[74.8] For when the trumpet
is sounded,
[74.9] That, at that time,
shall be a difficult day,
[74.10] For the unbelievers,
anything but easy.
[74.11] Leave Me and him whom
I created alone,
[74.12] And give him vast
riches,
[74.13] And sons dwelling in
his presence,
[74.14] And I adjusted
affairs for him adjustably;
[74.15] And yet he desires
that I should add more!
[74.16] By no means! surely
he offers opposition to Our
communications.
[74.17] 1 will make a
distressing punishment overtake him.
[74.18] Surely he reflected
and guessed,
[74.19] But may he be cursed
how he plotted;
[74.20] Again, may he be
cursed how he plotted;
[74.21] Then he looked,
[74.22] Then he frowned and
scowled,
[74.23] Then he turned back
and was big with pride,
[74.24] ~Then he said: This
is naught but enchantment, narrated
(from others);
[74.25] This is naught but
the word of a mortal.
[74.26] 1 will cast him into
hell.
[74.27] And what will make
you realize what hell is?
[74.28] It leaves naught nor
does it spare aught.
[74.29] It scorches the
mortal.
[74.30] Over it are nineteen.
[74.31] 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.
[74.32] Nay; I swear by the
moon,
[74.33] And the night when it
departs,
[74.34] And the daybreak when
it shines;
[74.35] Surely it (hell) is
one of the gravest (misfortunes),
[74.36] A warning to mortals,
[74.37] To him among you who
wishes to go forward or remain
behind.
[74.38] Every soul is held in
pledge for what it earns,
[74.39] Except the people of
the right hand,
[74.40] In gardens, they
shall ask each other
[74.41] About the guilty:
[74.42] What has brought you
into hell?
[74.43] They shall say: We
were not of those who prayed;
[74.44] And we used not to
feed the poor;
[74.45] And we used to enter
into vain discourse with those who
entered into vain discourses.
[74.46] And we used to call
the day of judgment a lie;
[74.47] Till death overtook
us.
[74.48] So the intercession
of intercessors shall not avail
them.
[74.49] What is then the
matter with them, that they turn
away from the admonition
[74.50] As if they were asses
taking fright
[74.51] That had fled from a
lion?
[74.52] Nay; every one of
them desires that he may be given
pages spread out;
[74.53] Nay! but they do not
fear the hereafter.
[74.54] Nay! it is surely an
admonition.
[74.55] So whoever pleases
may mind it.
[74.56] And they will not
mind unless Allah please. He is
worthy to be feared and worthy to
forgive. |
