Read in Context

Chapter 74, Page 576, Juz 29

32. Nay! And by the moon 33. And by the night when it withdraws. 34. And by the dawn when it brightens. 35. Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest (signs). 36. A warning to mankind - 37. To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by committing sins). 38. Every person is a pledge for what he has earned, 39. Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islâmic Monotheism). 40. In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another, 41. About Al-Mujrimûn (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them): 42. "What has caused you to enter Hell?" 43. They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salât (prayers), 44. "Nor we used to feed Al-Miskîn (the poor); 45. "And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allâh hated) with vain talkers. 46. And we used to belie the Day of Recompense, 47. "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain." 48. So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
