الـمّـدّثّـر

1 Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

1 O you who covers himself [with a garment],

2 Qum faanthir

2 Arise and warn

3 Warabbaka fakabbir

3 And your Lord glorify

4 Wathiyabaka fatahhir

4 And your clothing purify

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

5 And uncleanliness avoid

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

6 And do not confer favor to acquire more

7 Walirabbika faisbir

7 But for your Lord be patient.

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

8 And when the trumpet is blown,

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

9 That Day will be a difficult day

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

10 For the disbelievers - not easy.

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

11 Leave Me with the one I created alone

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

12 And to whom I granted extensive wealth

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

13 And children present [with him]

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

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

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

15 Then he desires that I should add more.

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

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

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

17 I will cover him with arduous torment.

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

18 Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

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

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

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

21 Thumma nathara

21 Then he considered [again];

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

22 Then he frowned and scowled;

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

23 Then he turned back and was arrogant

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

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

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

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

26 Saosleehi saqara

26 I will drive him into Saqar.

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

27 And what can make you know what is Saqar?

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

28 It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

29 Blackening the skins.

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

30 Over it are nineteen [angels].

31 Wama jaAAalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaAAalna AAiddatahum illa fitnatan lillatheena kafaroo liyastayqina allatheena ootoo alkitaba wayazdada allatheena amanoo eemanan wala yartaba allatheena ootoo alkitaba waalmuminoona waliyaqoola allatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalkafiroona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan kathalika yudillu Allahu man yashao wayahdee man yashao wama yaAAlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari

31 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.

32 Kalla waalqamari

32 No! By the moon

33 Waallayli ith adbara

33 And [by] the night when it departs

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

34 And [by] the morning when it brightens,

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

35 Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

36 Natheeran lilbashari

36 As a warning to humanity -

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

37 To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

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

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

39 Except the companions of the right,

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

40 [Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

41 AAani almujrimeena

41 About the criminals,

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

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

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

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

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

44 Nor did we used to feed the poor.

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

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

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

46 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

47 Until there came to us the certainty."

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

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

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

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

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

50 As if they were alarmed donkeys

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

51 Fleeing from a lion?

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

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

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

53 No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

54 No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

55 Then whoever wills will remember it.

56 Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

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