[74:1] O you keeper of the secret.

[74:2] Rise up and warn.

[74:3] And extol your Lord.

[74:4] And cleanse your garment.

[74:5] And forsake error.

[74:6] And do not desire wealth.

[74:7] And stand by your Lord patiently.

[74:8] Then, when the trumpet sounds,-

[74:9] -that will be a difficult day,-

[74:10] -it will not be easy for the unfaithful.

[74:11] Let Me deal with the one whom I created as an individual.

[74:12] And I gave him abundant wealth,-

[74:13] -and sons to behold.

[74:14] And I made everything easy for him.

[74:15] Yet he is greedy for more.

[74:16] He absolutely refused to acknowledge Our proofs.

[74:17] I will increasingly humiliate him.

[74:18] For indeed he pondered and decided.

[74:19] Therefore, woe to him for his decision.

[74:20] Then again, woe to him for his decision.

[74:21] He then looked.

[74:22] Then he frowned and he scowled.

[74:23] Then he turned his back and became arrogant.

[74:24] He then said; this is nothing but clever magic.

[74:25] This is no more than the word of a human.

[74:26] I soon will throw him in Hell.

[74:27] And do you realize what Hell is?

[74:28] It will neither finish one off nor will it leave one alone.

[74:29] It will be publicized for all humans.

[74:30] Over it is Nineteen.

[74:31] And We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell and We have assigned their number only as a test for the unfaithful, and for the people of the scripture to attain certainty, and for the faithful to increase their faith, and that no doubts may remain for the people of the scripture and the faithful, and as for those who have a disease in their hearts and the unfaithful say, what did God mean by this example? God thus sends astray whomever He wills and guides whomever He wills. And no one knows the armies of your Lord except He and this is only a reminder for all the people.

[74:32] Absolutely, by the Moon.

[74:33] And by the night as it covers.

[74:34] And by the morning as it shines.

[74:35] This is indeed one of the great portents.

[74:36] A warning to all humans.

[74:37] For anyone amongst you who wants to advance or regress.

[74:38] Every soul is trapped by her deeds.

[74:39] Except the dwellers of The Bliss.

[74:40] While in Paradise they ask-

[74:41] -of the guilty.

[74:42] What caused you to end up in Hell?

[74:43] They say; we were not with those who prayed.

[74:44] Nor did we ever feed the poor.

[74:45] And we used to blunder with the blunderers.

[74:46] And we used to deny the Day of Faith.

[74:47] Until we came face to face with reality.

[74:48] Then the intercession of the intercessors did not benefit them.

[74:49] Then why are they so averse to this reminder?

[74:50] Just like donkeys running away.

[74:51] Fleeing from a lion.

[74:52] On the contrary, each one of them wants to receive the scripture personally.

[74:53] Absolutely, they do not fear the Hereafter.

[74:54] Absolutely, this is indeed a reminder.

[74:55] Therefore, anyone who wills shall take heed.

[74:56] And no one will take heed, unless in accordance with God ’s will. He is the source of righteousness; He is the source of forgiveness.
