Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر
Qum faanthir
Arise and warn
قم فأنذر
Warabbaka fakabbir
And your Lord glorify
وربك فكبر
Wathiyabaka fatahhir
And your clothing purify
وثيابك فطهر
Waalrrujza faohjur
And uncleanliness avoid
والرجز فاهجر
Wala tamnun tastakthiru
And do not confer favor to acquire more
ولا تمنن تستكثر
Walirabbika faisbir
But for your Lord be patient.
ولربك فاصبر
Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori
And when the trumpet is blown,
فإذا نقر في الناقور
Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun
That Day will be a difficult day
فذلك يومئذ يوم عسير
AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin
For the disbelievers - not easy.
على الكافرين غير يسير
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan
Leave Me with the one I created alone
ذرني ومن خلقت وحيدا
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
وجعلت له مالا ممدودا
Wabaneena shuhoodan
And children present [with him]
وبنين شهودا
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
ومهدت له تمهيدا
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda
Then he desires that I should add more.
ثم يطمع أن أزيد
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
كلا ۖ إنه كان لآياتنا عنيدا
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
I will cover him with arduous torment.
سأرهقه صعودا
Innahu fakkara waqaddara
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
إنه فكر وقدر
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
فقتل كيف قدر
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara
Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
ثم قتل كيف قدر
Thumma nathara
Then he considered [again];
ثم نظر
Thumma AAabasa wabasara
Then he frowned and scowled;
ثم عبس وبسر
Thumma adbara waistakbara
Then he turned back and was arrogant
ثم أدبر واستكبر
Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
فقال إن هذا إلا سحر يؤثر
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
This is not but the word of a human being."
إن هذا إلا قول البشر
Saosleehi saqara
I will drive him into Saqar.
سأصليه سقر
Wama adraka ma saqaru
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
وما أدراك ما سقر
La tubqee wala tatharu
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
لا تبقي ولا تذر
Lawwahatun lilbashari
Blackening the skins.
لواحة للبشر
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
Over it are nineteen [angels].
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 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.
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
No! By the moon
كلا والقمر
Waallayli ith adbara
And [by] the night when it departs
والليل إذ أدبر
Waalssubhi itha asfara
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
والصبح إذا أسفر
Innaha laihda alkubari
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
إنها لإحدى الكبر
Natheeran lilbashari
As a warning to humanity -
نذيرا للبشر
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
لمن شاء منكم أن يتقدم أو يتأخر
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة
Illa ashaba alyameeni
Except the companions of the right,
إلا أصحاب اليمين
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
في جنات يتساءلون
AAani almujrimeena
About the criminals,
عن المجرمين
Ma salakakum fee saqara
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
ما سلككم في سقر
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
قالوا لم نك من المصلين
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
ولم نك نطعم المسكين
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وكنا نخوض مع الخائضين
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
وكنا نكذب بيوم الدين
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
Until there came to us the certainty."
حتى أتانا اليقين
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فما تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
فما لهم عن التذكرة معرضين
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
As if they were alarmed donkeys
كأنهم حمر مستنفرة
Farrat min qaswaratin
Fleeing from a lion?
فرت من قسورة
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
بل يريد كل امرئ منهم أن يؤتى صحفا منشرة
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
كلا ۖ بل لا يخافون الآخرة
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
كلا إنه تذكرة
Faman shaa thakarahu
Then whoever wills will remember it.
فمن شاء ذكره
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
وما يذكرون إلا أن يشاء الله ۚ هو أهل التقوى وأهل المغفرة
