74 - The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
Order of Revelation: 4مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
Ma salakakum fee saqara
"What led you into Hell?"
"What has brought you into hell-fire?"
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
What hath brought you to this burning?
What has brought you into hell?
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
They will say, "Not we were of those who prayed,
They will answer: "We were not among those who prayed;
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed
They will say: We were not of those who prayed;
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
And not we used to feed the poor,
and neither did we feed the needy;
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
Nor did we feed the wretched.
Nor did we feed the poor;
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkha-ideena
And we used to indulge in vain talk with the vain talkers,
and we were wont to indulge in sinning together with all [the others] who indulged in it;
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
And we indulged in vain talk with vain talkers;
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
And we used to deny (the) Day (of) the Judgment,
and the Day of Judgment we were wont to call a lie
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
And we called the day of Judgment a lie;
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
Until, came to us the certainty."
until certainty came upon us [in death]."
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Till the inevitable overtook us.
Until there came to us the certainty."
