74. al-Mudathir: The Clothed One

1 O thou enveloped in thy cloak,
2 Arise and warn!
3 Thy Lord magnify,
4 Thy raiment purify,
5 Pollution shun!
6 And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!
7 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!
8 For when the trumpet shall sound,
9 Surely that day will be a day of anguish,
10 Not of ease, for disbelievers.
11 Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,
12 And then bestowed upon him ample means,
13 And sons abiding in his presence
14 And made (life) smooth for him.
15 Yet he desireth that I should give more.
16 Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.
17 On him I shall impose a fearful doom.
18 For lo! he did consider; then he planned -
19 (Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned!
20 Again (self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! -
21 Then looked he,
22 Then frowned he and showed displeasure.
23 Then turned he away in pride
24 And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;
25 This is naught else than speech of mortal man.
26 Him shall I fling unto the burning.
27 - Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -
28 It leaveth naught; it spareth naught
29 It shrivelleth the man.
30 Above it are nineteen.
31 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
32 Nay, by the Moon
33 And the night when it withdraweth
34 And the dawn when it shineth forth,
35 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
36 As a warning unto men,
37 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.
38 Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;
39 Save those who will stand on the right hand.
40 In gardens they will ask one another
41 Concerning the guilty:
42 What hath brought you to this burning ?
43 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed
44 Nor did we feed the wretched.
45 We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
46 And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
47 Till the Inevitable came unto us.
48 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
49 Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
50 As they were frightened asses
51 Fleeing from a lion ?
52 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
53 Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.
54 Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.
55 So whosoever will may heed.
56 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.

Hey folks,

I've been checking out the world of online
gaming lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was a bit wary.

I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your hard-earned money,
right? But after testing the waters (and trying out a few dodgy sites
so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that
set apart a reliable casino from a complete fraud.
First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**.
If a casino doesn’t have a proper legal status (like from the
Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission), just close that tab.
No bonus is worth the gamble of never seeing your money
again. Also — and I know no one wants
to — check the terms. That’s the only way to know what kind of
playthrough limits they’ve slapped onto those so-called “generous” bonuses.

Now, let me share a site I’ve been hooked on these last few weeks.
It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super easy to navigate.
Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Insane*.

Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some oddball options I
hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: phonecasino
What really won me over was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they
got back to me in like instantly. Compare that to
other sites where you’re just ghosted by support — yeah, not worth it.

Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones.
But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer.
It’s smarter to go for reasonable terms than a huge bonus you’ll
never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and drop your rent money
— please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a fun way to unwind, online casinos can totally deliver.
Just play smart, control your bankroll, and don’t treat it
like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s interested or trying to find a trustworthy place to play.
If you’ve got your own go-to sites or even some horror tales, I’m all
ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

Good luck out there, and don’t let the house win too much ??
