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.

    Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking the time
    and actual effort to create a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and don't seem to get nearly anything done.

    Hi, I do think your website may be having
    web browser compatibility problems. Whenever
    I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE,
    it's got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Apart from that, excellent blog!

    This is absolutely not the very first instance I stumbled upon a blog site that was deserving of
    participating in a comment section on. This exact article is informative
    to me personally. I in actual fact live a life of a
    great number of settings; that is to say that
    my work routines vary. I perform Postpartum Massage Therapy.
    Simultaneously, I buy and sell collectibles.
    I'm understanding the concepts of Linux. And, that's just
    a few pursuits I carry out. Anyways, my idea is, every one
    of us all approaches a topic from a completely unique view.
    Pretty much every experience we have patterns us
    and each of our viewpoint of our own selves and the universe all
    around us all. I ponder seeking out some sort of larger sensation of reality is exactly where
    all the things all of us talk about brings us to. So,
    how will men or women afterward interact? Is it even possible?

    I think our own particular additions to the Cyberspace Commons transforms
    a great many people today, most likely. So think about that, blog
    creators and everyone writing comments. Your current opinion can easily guide another individual.
    Or, comments can accomplish the contrary. Not to mention, everyone, meaning, you, me, in fact need to pay attention to attempt to support other individuals
    to improve and never suffer. Thanks a lot for this
    particular blog page; I am filing this site along with my various other first-rate websites I've come across that I
    even troubled to remark on. Continue to keep publishing! Continue to keep revealing!

    Human beings in these days want to gain knowledge of somewhat more on the subject of
    many of these subjects, though there seems to under no circumstances quite
    possibly be enough hours. After precious time for friends
    and family, and as expected having a job,
    just what available free time is left to commit to gaining knowledge of these crucial instructions?
    As an individual practising post-partum massage therapy, in addition to making internet websites and taking care of a lot of servers, time is for
    certain a thing which i normally do not possess an adequate amount of.
    Quite possibly, I am able to find the time frame
    needed to examine this key point more exhaustively.
    Many thanks for offering this kind of superb webpage.

    It's very simple to find out any matter on web as compared
    to books, as I found this post at this site.

    Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for
    this site? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm
    looking at options for another platform. I would be
    awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good
    platform.
