Surah Al-Muddaththir

كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ ﴿32﴾

No! By the moon

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ﴿33﴾

And [by] the night when it departs

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ ﴿34﴾

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ ﴿35﴾

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ ﴿36﴾

As a warning to humanity -

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ﴿37﴾

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ﴿38﴾

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿39﴾

Except the companions of the right,

فِى جَنَّٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿40﴾

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿41﴾

About the criminals,

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ ﴿42﴾

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿43﴾

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ ﴿44﴾

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ ﴿45﴾

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿46﴾

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ ﴿47﴾

Until there came to us the certainty."

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ﴿48﴾

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿49﴾

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ ﴿50﴾

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ ﴿51﴾

Fleeing from a lion?

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً ﴿52﴾

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ﴿53﴾

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿54﴾

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿55﴾

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ﴿56﴾

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
