In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

O you who lies wrapped up,

arise and warn

and proclaim the greatness of your Lord.

And keep your garments pure,

and avoid filth,

and do not favor (others) expecting to get more,

and be patient for the sake of your Lord.

When the Trumpet is blown,

it shall be a very hard Day,

not easy for the disbelievers.

Leave Me and the person whom I created alone.

I gave him ample wealth

and sons to be present by his side,

and smoothed for him the way to his leadership (and prosperity).

Yet he desires that I should give him more.

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.

Very soon I shall cast him into Hell.

And what do you know what Hell is?

It leaves nothing and it spares none.

It scorches the skin.

Nineteen keepers are appointed over it.

We have appointed only angels as the keepers of Hell, and have made their number a trial for the disbelievers, so that the people of the Book are convinced and the believers are increased in their faith, and the people of the Book and the believers may have no doubts, and the sick of the heart and the disbelievers may say, "What could Allah mean by this strange parable?" In this way Allah leads astray whom He wills and gives guidance to whom He wills, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself. And Hell has been mentioned so that the people may take heed.
