وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ
Wama adraka ma saqaru
And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?
74. Mudethir · verses 27–35
سورة الـمّـدّثّـرلَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
La tubqee wala tatharu
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-
لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ
Lawwahatun lilbashari
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
Over it are Nineteen.
وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ

And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
كـَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ
Kalla waalqamari
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذۡ أَدۡبَرَ
Waallayli ith adbara
And by the Night as it retreateth,
وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ
Waalssubhi itha asfara
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ
Innaha laihda alkubari
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
