Al-Muddaththir 74:32–37
By the morning when it brightens
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ ٣٢ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ٣٣ وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ ٣٤ إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ ٣٥ نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ ٣٦ لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ٣٧
The meaning, simply
No! Allah swears by the moon, by the night as it leaves, and by the morning as it shines: the Fire is one of the gravest of all things, a warning to people, for whoever of you wants to move forward with obedience or fall behind with sin.
