O you who lies wrapped up,1 arise and warn2 and proclaim the greatness of your Lord.3 And keep your garments pure,4 and avoid filth,5 and do not favor (others) expecting to get more,6 and be patient for the sake of your Lord.7 When the Trumpet is blown, it shall be a very hard Day,8 not easy for the disbelievers.9 Leave Me and the person10 whom I created alone.11 I gave him ample wealth and sons to be present by his side,12 and smoothed for him the way to his leadership (and prosperity). Yet he desires that I should give him more.13 No, never! He is hostile to Our Revelations. I shall soon make him ascend a hard ascent. He pondered and tried to devise a plan. May God destroy him: what he tried to devise! Yes, may God destroy him, what he tried to devise! Then he looked around, then he frowned and scowled, then he turned his back and showed arrogance. At last, he said, "This is nothing but magic, handed down from the past; nothing but the word of a mere mortal.14 Very soon I shall cast him into Hell. And what do you know what Hell is? It leaves nothing and it spares none.15 It scorches the skin.16 Nineteen keepers are appointed over it. We17 have appointed only angels as the keepers of Hell,18 and have made their number a trial for the disbelievers,19 so that the people of the Book are convinced20 and the believers are increased in their faith,21 and the people of the Book and the believers may have no doubts, and the sick of the heart22 and the disbelievers may say, "What could Allah mean by this strange parable?"23 In this way Allah leads astray whom He wills and gives guidance to whom He wills,24 and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself.25 And Hell has been mentioned so that the people may take heed.26 No, never!27 By the moon and by the night when it withdraws, and by the morning when it dawns, this Hell too, is one of the mighty things,28 a warning to mankind, a warning to every one of you, who desires to go forward, or to lag behind.29
