Al-Muddaththir

Yaaa ayyuhal muddassir

O you who covers himself [with a garment],

Qum fa anzir

Arise and warn

Wa rabbaka fakabbir

And your Lord glorify

Wa siyaabaka fatahhir

And your clothing purify

Warrujza fahjur

And uncleanliness avoid

Wa laa tamnun tastaksir

And do not confer favor to acquire more

Wa li Rabbika fasbir

But for your Lord be patient.

Fa izaa nuqira fin naaqoor

And when the trumpet is blown,

Fazaalika yawma 'iziny yawmun 'aseer

That Day will be a difficult day

'Alal kaafireena ghayru yaseer

For the disbelievers - not easy.

Zamee wa man khalaqtu waheedaa

Leave Me with the one I created alone

Wa ja'altu lahoo maalam mamdoodaa

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

Wa baneena shuhoodaa

And children present [with him]

Wa mahhattu lahoo tamheeda

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

Summa yat ma'u an azeed

Then he desires that I should add more.

Kallaaa innahoo kaana li Aayaatinaa 'aneedaa

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

Sa urhiquhoo sa'oodaa

I will cover him with arduous torment.

Innahoo fakkara wa qaddar

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

Faqutila kayfa qaddar

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

Summa qutila kaifa qaddar

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

Summa nazar

Then he considered [again];

Summa 'abasa wa basar

Then he frowned and scowled;

Summaa adbara wastakbar

Then he turned back and was arrogant

Faqaala in haazaaa illaa sihruny yu'sar

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

In haazaaa illaa qawlul bashar

This is not but the word of a human being."

Sa usleehi saqar

I will drive him into Saqar.

Wa maaa adraaka maa saqar

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

Laa tubqee wa laa tazar

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

Lawwaahatul lilbashar

Blackening the skins.

'Alaihaa tis'ata 'ashar

Over it are nineteen [angels].

Wa maaja''alnaaa As haaban naari illaa malaaa 'ikatanw wa maa ja'alnaa 'iddatahum illaa fitnatal lillazeena kafaroo liyastayqinal lazeena ootul kitaaba wa yazdaadal lazeena aamanooo eemaananw wa laa yartaabal lazeena ootul kitaaba walmu'minoona wa liyaqoolal lazeena fee quloo bihim maradunw walkaafiroona maazaaa araadal laahu bihaazaa masalaa; kazaalika yudillul laahu many yashaaa'u wa yahdee many yashaaa'; wa maa ya'lamu junooda rabbika illaa hoo; wa maa hiya illaa zikraa lil bashar

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

Kallaa walqamar

No! By the moon

Wallaili adbar

And [by] the night when it departs

Wassub hi izaaa asfar

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

Innahaa la ihdal kubar

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

Nazeeral lilbashar

As a warning to humanity -

Liman shaaa'a minkum any yataqaddama aw yata akhkhar

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

Kullu nafsim bim kasabat raheenah

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

Illaaa as haabal yameen

Except the companions of the right,

Fee jannaatiny yata saaa'aloon

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

'Anil mujrimeen

About the criminals,

Maa salakakum fee saqar

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen

Until there came to us the certainty."

Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah

As if they were alarmed donkeys

Farrat min qaswarah

Fleeing from a lion?

Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

Fa man shaaa'a zakarah

Then whoever wills will remember it.

Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah

And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
