لَوّاحَةٌ لِلبَشَرِ

Blackening the skins.

عَلَيها تِسعَةَ عَشَرَ

Over it are nineteen [angels].

وَما جَعَلنا أَصحابَ النّارِ إِلّا مَلائِكَةً ۙ وَما جَعَلنا عِدَّتَهُم إِلّا فِتنَةً لِلَّذينَ كَفَروا لِيَستَيقِنَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ وَيَزدادَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا إيمانًا ۙ وَلا يَرتابَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ وَالمُؤمِنونَ ۙ وَلِيَقولَ الَّذينَ في قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ وَالكافِرونَ ماذا أَرادَ اللَّهُ بِهـٰذا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَهدي مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَما يَعلَمُ جُنودَ رَبِّكَ إِلّا هُوَ ۚ وَما هِيَ إِلّا ذِكرىٰ لِلبَشَرِ

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

كَلّا وَالقَمَرِ

No! By the moon

وَاللَّيلِ إِذ أَدبَرَ

And [by] the night when it departs

إِنَّها لَإِحدَى الكُبَرِ

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

نَذيرًا لِلبَشَرِ

As a warning to humanity -

لِمَن شاءَ مِنكُم أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَو يَتَأَخَّرَ

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت رَهينَةٌ

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلّا أَصحابَ اليَمينِ

Except the companions of the right,
