الْمُدَّثِّر

And (ask) of the Sinners:

"What led you into Hell Fire?"

They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;

"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;

"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;

"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."

Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.

Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?-

As if they were affrighted asses,

Fleeing from a lion!

Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!

By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,

Nay, this surely is an admonition:

Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!

But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
