Cloaked one, |
stand up, deliver your warning, |
proclaim the greatness of your Lord, |
cleanse your clothes, |
stay away from sins |
and do not think that by doing such deeds, you have done a great favor to God. |
Exercise patience to please your Lord. |
When the trumpet is sounded,. |
it will be a hard day |
and for the disbelievers, in particular, it will not be at all easy. |
Leave to Me the one, whom I have created all by Myself, |
and whom I have granted abundant wealth |
and children living in his presence, |
whose life I have made run smoothly |
and who still desires more. |
Never will he receive more. He has been hostile to Our revelations. |
We shall make him suffer the torment of hell without relief. |
He planned and plotted. |
May he be condemned! |
The intercession of the intercessors will be of no benefit to them. |
If such will be the Day of Judgment, what is the matter with them? Why do they run away from guidance, |
like frightened donkeys |
running away from a lion? |
Is it that everyone of them wants to receive a heavenly book addressed to him personally? |
This will certainly never be the case! In fact, they are not afraid of the Day of Judgment. |
There is no doubt that the Quran is a guide. |
Let anyone who seeks guidance do so. |
No one will seek guidance unless God wills it. He alone is worthy of being feared and He is the Source of Forgiveness. |
