In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) enveloped in garments!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ
Chapter 74, 56 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) enveloped in garments!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ
Arise and warn!
قم فأنذر
Qum faanthir
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ
And magnify your Lord (Allah)!
وربك فكبر
Warabbaka fakabbir
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ
And purify your garments!
وثيابك فطهر
Wathiyabaka fatahhir
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ
And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!
والرجز فاهجر
Waalrrujza faohjur
وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ
And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of obedience to Allah as a favour to Him).
ولا تمنن تستكثر
Wala tamnun tastakthiru
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ
And be patient for the sake of your Lord (i.e. perform your duty to Allah)!
ولربك فاصبر
Walirabbika faisbir
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ
Then, when the Trumpet is sounded (i.e. the second blowing of the horn).
فإذا نقر في الناقور
Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ
Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -
فذلك يومئذ يوم عسير
Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
Far from easy for the disbelievers.
على الكافرين غير يسير
AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin
عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ
Leave Me Alone (to deal) with whom I created lonely (without any wealth or children etc, i.e. Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah Al-Makhzumi)!
ذرني ومن خلقت وحيدا
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا
And then granted him resources in abundance.
وجعلت له مالا ممدودا
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا
And children to be by his side.
وبنين شهودا
Wabaneena shuhoodan
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا
And made life smooth and comfortable for him.
ومهدت له تمهيدا
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًا
After all that he desires that I should give more;
ثم يطمع أن أزيد
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).
كلا ۖ إنه كان لآياتنا عنيدا
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا
I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa'ud, or) face a severe torment!
سأرهقه صعودا
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا
Verily, he thought and plotted.
إنه فكر وقدر
Innahu fakkara waqaddara
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
So let him be cursed: how he plotted!
فقتل كيف قدر
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
And once more let him be cursed: how he plotted!
ثم قتل كيف قدر
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Then he thought.
ثم نظر
Thumma nathara
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;
ثم عبس وبسر
Thumma AAabasa wabasara
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
Then he turned back, and was proud.
ثم أدبر واستكبر
Thumma adbara waistakbara
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ
Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old,
فقال إن هذا إلا سحر يؤثر
Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
"This is nothing but the word of a human being!"
إن هذا إلا قول البشر
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ
I will cast him into Hell-fire.
سأصليه سقر
Saosleehi saqara
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
And what will make you know (exactly) what Hell-fire is?
وما أدراك ما سقر
Wama adraka ma saqaru
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ
It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!
لا تبقي ولا تذر
La tubqee wala tatharu
لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ
Burning and blackening the skins!
لواحة للبشر
Lawwahatun lilbashari
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).
عليها تسعة عشر
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth), and that no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
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
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

Nay! And by the moon
كلا والقمر
Kalla waalqamari
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
And by the night when it withdraws.
والليل إذ أدبر
Waallayli ith adbara
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
And by the dawn when it brightens.
والصبح إذا أسفر
Waalssubhi itha asfara
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest (signs).
إنها لإحدى الكبر
Innaha laihda alkubari
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
A warning to mankind -
نذيرا للبشر
Natheeran lilbashari
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by committing sins).
لمن شاء منكم أن يتقدم أو يتأخر
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,
كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
إلا أصحاب اليمين
Illa ashaba alyameeni
إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
في جنات يتساءلون
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
فِى جَنَّٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them):
عن المجرمين
AAani almujrimeena
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
ما سلككم في سقر
Ma salakakum fee saqara
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salat (prayers),
قالوا لم نك من المصلين
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
ولم نك نطعم المسكين
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
وكنا نخوض مع الخائضين
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,
وكنا نكذب بيوم الدين
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
حتى أتانا اليقين
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
فما تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
فما لهم عن التذكرة معرضين
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.
كأنهم حمر مستنفرة
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.
فرت من قسورة
Farrat min qaswaratin
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allah with a writing that Islam is the right religion, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has come with the truth from Allah, the Lord of the heavens and earth).
بل يريد كل امرئ منهم أن يؤتى صحفا منشرة
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allah's punishment).
كلا ۖ بل لا يخافون الآخرة
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
كَلَّا بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
Nay, verily, this (Qur'an) is an admonition,
كلا إنه تذكرة
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ
So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!
فمن شاء ذكره
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
وما يذكرون إلا أن يشاء الله ۚ هو أهل التقوى وأهل المغفرة
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
