Al-Muddaththir 74:48–56

74:48Page 577

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ٤٨

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

74:49–51Page 577

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ ٤٩

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ ٥٠

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ ٥١

Fleeing from a lion?

74:52Page 577

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ ٥٢

Rather, every person among them desires that he¹ would be given scriptures spread about.²

74:53Page 577

كـَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٥٣

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

74:54Page 577

كـَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ ٥٤

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder

74:55Page 577

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥

Then whoever wills will remember it.

74:56Page 577

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ ٥٦

And they will not remember except that Allāh wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
