Chapter 74, 56 verses
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
O you who are clothed!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر
Qum faanthir
Arise and warn,
قم فأنذر
Warabbaka fakabbir
And your Lord do magnify,
وربك فكبر
Wathiyabaka fatahhir
And your garments do purify,
وثيابك فطهر
Waalrrujza faohjur
And uncleanness do shun,
والرجز فاهجر
Wala tamnun tastakthiru
And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,
ولا تمنن تستكثر
Walirabbika faisbir
And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
ولربك فاصبر
Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori
For when the trumpet is sounded,
فإذا نقر في الناقور
Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun
That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
فذلك يومئذ يوم عسير
AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin
For the unbelievers, anything but easy.
على الكافرين غير يسير
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
ذرني ومن خلقت وحيدا
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan
And give him vast riches,
وجعلت له مالا ممدودا
Wabaneena shuhoodan
And sons dwelling in his presence,
وبنين شهودا
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan
And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
ومهدت له تمهيدا
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda
And yet he desires that I should add more!
ثم يطمع أن أزيد
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
كلا ۖ إنه كان لآياتنا عنيدا
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
سأرهقه صعودا
Innahu fakkara waqaddara
Surely he reflected and guessed,
إنه فكر وقدر
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
But may he be cursed how he plotted;
فقتل كيف قدر
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
ثم قتل كيف قدر
Thumma nathara
Then he looked,
ثم نظر
Thumma AAabasa wabasara
Then he frowned and scowled,
ثم عبس وبسر
Thumma adbara waistakbara
Then he turned back and was big with pride,
ثم أدبر واستكبر
Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
فقال إن هذا إلا سحر يؤثر
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
This is naught but the word of a mortal.
إن هذا إلا قول البشر
Saosleehi saqara
I will cast him into hell.
سأصليه سقر
Wama adraka ma saqaru
And what will make you realize what hell is?
وما أدراك ما سقر
La tubqee wala tatharu
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
لا تبقي ولا تذر
Lawwahatun lilbashari
It scorches the mortal.
لواحة للبشر
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
Over it are nineteen.
عليها تسعة عشر
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
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
وما جعلنا أصحاب النار إلا ملائكة ۙ وما جعلنا عدتهم إلا فتنة للذين كفروا ليستيقن الذين أوتوا الكتاب ويزداد الذين آمنوا إيمانا ۙ ولا يرتاب الذين أوتوا الكتاب والمؤمنون ۙ وليقول الذين في قلوبهم مرض والكافرون ماذا أراد الله بهذا مثلا ۚ كذلك يضل الله من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ۚ وما يعلم جنود ربك إلا هو ۚ وما هي إلا ذكرى للبشر
Kalla waalqamari
Nay; I swear by the moon,
كلا والقمر
Waallayli ith adbara
And the night when it departs,
والليل إذ أدبر
Waalssubhi itha asfara
And the daybreak when it shines;
والصبح إذا أسفر
Innaha laihda alkubari
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
إنها لإحدى الكبر
Natheeran lilbashari
A warning to mortals,
نذيرا للبشر
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
لمن شاء منكم أن يتقدم أو يتأخر
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة
Illa ashaba alyameeni
Except the people of the right hand,
إلا أصحاب اليمين
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
In gardens, they shall ask each other
في جنات يتساءلون
AAani almujrimeena
About the guilty:
عن المجرمين
Ma salakakum fee saqara
What has brought you into hell?
ما سلككم في سقر
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
قالوا لم نك من المصلين
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
And we used not to feed the poor;
ولم نك نطعم المسكين
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
وكنا نخوض مع الخائضين
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
وكنا نكذب بيوم الدين
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
Till death overtook us.
حتى أتانا اليقين
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
فما تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
فما لهم عن التذكرة معرضين
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
As if they were asses taking fright
كأنهم حمر مستنفرة
Farrat min qaswaratin
That had fled from a lion?
فرت من قسورة
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
بل يريد كل امرئ منهم أن يؤتى صحفا منشرة
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
كلا ۖ بل لا يخافون الآخرة
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
كلا إنه تذكرة
Faman shaa thakarahu
So whoever pleases may mind it.
فمن شاء ذكره
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
وما يذكرون إلا أن يشاء الله ۚ هو أهل التقوى وأهل المغفرة
