In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) enveloped in garments!
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر
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!
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يا أيها المدثر
Arise and warn!
Qum faanthir
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ
قم فأنذر
And magnify your Lord (Allah)!
Warabbaka fakabbir
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ
وربك فكبر
And purify your garments!
Wathiyabaka fatahhir
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ
وثيابك فطهر
And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!
Waalrrujza faohjur
وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ
والرجز فاهجر
And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of obedience to Allah as a favour to Him).
Wala tamnun tastakthiru
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ
ولا تمنن تستكثر
And be patient for the sake of your Lord (i.e. perform your duty to Allah)!
Walirabbika faisbir
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ
ولربك فاصبر
Then, when the Trumpet is sounded (i.e. the second blowing of the horn).
Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ
فإذا نقر في الناقور
Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -
Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
فذلك يومئذ يوم عسير
Far from easy for the disbelievers.
AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin
عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ
على الكافرين غير يسير
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)!
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan
ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا
ذرني ومن خلقت وحيدا
And then granted him resources in abundance.
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا
وجعلت له مالا ممدودا
And children to be by his side.
Wabaneena shuhoodan
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا
وبنين شهودا
And made life smooth and comfortable for him.
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا
ومهدت له تمهيدا
After all that he desires that I should give more;
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
ثم يطمع أن أزيد
Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا
كلا ۖ إنه كان لآياتنا عنيدا
I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa'ud, or) face a severe torment!
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا
سأرهقه صعودا
Verily, he thought and plotted.
Innahu fakkara waqaddara
إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
إنه فكر وقدر
So let him be cursed: how he plotted!
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
فقتل كيف قدر
And once more let him be cursed: how he plotted!
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
ثم قتل كيف قدر
Then he thought.
Thumma nathara
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
ثم نظر
Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;
Thumma AAabasa wabasara
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
ثم عبس وبسر
Then he turned back, and was proud.
Thumma adbara waistakbara
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ
ثم أدبر واستكبر
Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old,
Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
فقال إن هذا إلا سحر يؤثر
"This is nothing but the word of a human being!"
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ
إن هذا إلا قول البشر
I will cast him into Hell-fire.
Saosleehi saqara
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
سأصليه سقر
And what will make you know (exactly) what Hell-fire is?
Wama adraka ma saqaru
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ
وما أدراك ما سقر
It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!
La tubqee wala tatharu
لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
لا تبقي ولا تذر
Burning and blackening the skins!
Lawwahatun lilbashari
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
لواحة للبشر
Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
عليها تسعة عشر
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.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
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
Nay! And by the moon
Kalla waalqamari
كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ
كلا والقمر
And by the night when it withdraws.
Waallayli ith adbara
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
والليل إذ أدبر
And by the dawn when it brightens.
Waalssubhi itha asfara
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ
والصبح إذا أسفر
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).
Innaha laihda alkubari
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ
إنها لإحدى الكبر
A warning to mankind -
Natheeran lilbashari
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
نذيرا للبشر
To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by committing sins).
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
لمن شاء منكم أن يتقدم أو يتأخر
Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة
Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
Illa ashaba alyameeni
إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ
إلا أصحاب اليمين
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
في جنات يتساءلون
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them):
AAani almujrimeena
عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
عن المجرمين
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
Ma salakakum fee saqara
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
ما سلككم في سقر
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salat (prayers),
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
قالوا لم نك من المصلين
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
ولم نك نطعم المسكين
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
وكنا نخوض مع الخائضين
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
وكنا نكذب بيوم الدين
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
حتى أتانا اليقين
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ
فما تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
فما لهم عن التذكرة معرضين
As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
كأنهم حمر مستنفرة
Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.
Farrat min qaswaratin
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍ
فرت من قسورة
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).
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
بل يريد كل امرئ منهم أن يؤتى صحفا منشرة
Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allah's punishment).
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
كلا ۖ بل لا يخافون الآخرة
Nay, verily, this (Qur'an) is an admonition,
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ
كلا إنه تذكرة
So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
فمن شاء ذكره
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).
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
وما يذكرون إلا أن يشاء الله ۚ هو أهل التقوى وأهل المغفرة
