عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
(74:41) about the guilty ones:2
مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ
(74:42) “What drove you to Hell?”
قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ
(74:43) They will answer: “We were not among those who observed Prayer,3
وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ
(74:44) and we did not feed the poor,4
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ
(74:45) and we indulged in vain talk with those who indulged in vain talk,
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
(74:46) and we gave the lie to the Day of Judgement
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ
(74:47) until the inevitable event overtook us.”5
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ
(74:48) The intercession of the intercessors shall then be of no avail to
them.6
