No, never! By the moon

and by the night when it withdraws,

and by the morning when it dawns,

this Hell too, is one of the mighty things,

a warning to mankind,

a warning to every one of you, who desires to go forward, or to lag behind.

Every person is a pledge for his own deeds,

except the people of the right hand,

who shall be in Gardens. There they will ask

the culprits,

what has brought you into Hell?

They will reply, "We were not of those who offered the salat,

and we did not feed the poor,

and we used to join with those who indulged in idle talk against the Truth,

and we used to belie the Day of Recompense,

till the inevitable overtook us."

At that time, no intercession of the intercessors shall avail them anything.

What then is the matter with these people that they are turning away from this Admonition

as though they were wild asses

fleeing away from a lion?

Nay, each one of them desires that he should be sent open letters.

No, never! The fact is that they do not fear the Hereafter.

No, never! This indeed is an Admonition.

So, let him who wills, take heed.

But they will never take heed unless Allah so wills. He alone is worthy that he should be feared, and He alone is worthy to forgive (those who fear Him).
