74:16 · page 575

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

74:17 · page 575

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

I will cover him with arduous torment.

74:18 · page 576

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

74:19 · page 576

74:25 · page 576

إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

This is not but the word of a human being."

I will drive him into Saqar.

74:27 · page 576

74:29 · page 576

لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ

Altering [i.e., blackening] the skins.

74:30 · page 576

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

74:31 · page 576

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

74:32 · page 576

كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ

No! By the moon.

74:33 · page 576

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ

And [by] the night when it departs.

74:34 · page 576

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

74:35 · page 576

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ

Indeed, it [i.e., the Fire] is of the greatest [afflictions].

74:36 · page 576

نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ

As a warning to humanity -

74:37 · page 576

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

74:38 · page 576

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ

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

74:39 · page 576

إِلَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Except the companions of the right,.

74:40 · page 576

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

74:41 · page 576

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

About the criminals,

74:42 · page 576

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ

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

74:43 · page 576

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

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

74:44 · page 576

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

74:45 · page 576

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ

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

74:46 · page 576

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

74:47 · page 576

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

74:48 · page 577

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ

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

74:49 · page 577

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

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

74:50 · page 577

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ

As if they were alarmed donkeys.

74:51 · page 577

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ

Fleeing from a lion?

74:52 · page 577

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً

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

74:53 · page 577

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

74:54 · page 577

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder.

74:55 · page 577

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Then whoever wills will remember it.

74:56 · page 577

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ

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