So, I swear by the twilight (after sunset),

and by the night and what it envelops,

and by the moon when it develops at the full,

you shall certainly ascend from stage to stage.

So, what is wrong with them that they do not believe,

and when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not offer sajdah (prostration)?

Rather, those who disbelieve deny (the truth).

And Allah is most aware of what they store.

So, give him the ‘good news’ of a painful punishment,

but those who believed and did righteous deeds will have a reward that will never be interrupted.
