      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.

    35. 74:35

      إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ

      Innahaa la ihdal kubar

      Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

    36. 74:36

      Nazeeral lilbashar

      As a warning to humanity -

      About the criminals,

    42. 74:42

      مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ

      Maa salakakum fee saqar

      [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

    43. 74:43

      قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

      Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen

      They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

    44. 74:44

      وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ

      Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen

      Nor did we used to feed the poor.

      Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen

      And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

    47. 74:47

      حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

      Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen

      Until there came to us the certainty."

    48. 74:48

      فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ

      Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een

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

    49. 74:49

      فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

      Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen

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

      كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

      Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah

      No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

    54. 74:54

      كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ

      Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah

      No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

    55. 74:55

      فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

      Fa man shaaa'a zakarah

      Then whoever wills will remember it.

      Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah

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