Al Muddathth

1 O you who are clothed!

1 Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

2 Arise and warn,

2 Qum faanthir

3 And your Lord do magnify,

3 Warabbaka fakabbir

4 And your garments do purify,

4 Wathiyabaka fatahhir

5 And uncleanness do shun,

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

6 And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

7 And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.

7 Walirabbika faisbir

8 For when the trumpet is sounded,

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

9 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

10 For the unbelievers, anything but easy.

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

11 Leave Me and him whom I created alone,

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

12 And give him vast riches,

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

13 And sons dwelling in his presence,

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

14 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

15 And yet he desires that I should add more!

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

16 By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

17 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

18 Surely he reflected and guessed,

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

19 But may he be cursed how he plotted;

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

20 Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

21 Then he looked,

21 Thumma nathara

22 Then he frowned and scowled,

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

23 Then he turned back and was big with pride,

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

24 ~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

25 This is naught but the word of a mortal.

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

26 I will cast him into hell.

26 Saosleehi saqara

27 And what will make you realize what hell is?

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

28 It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

29 It scorches the mortal.

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

30 Over it are nineteen.

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

31 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.

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

32 Nay; I swear by the moon,

32 Kalla waalqamari

33 And the night when it departs,

33 Waallayli ith adbara

34 And the daybreak when it shines;

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

35 Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

36 A warning to mortals,

36 Natheeran lilbashari

37 To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

38 Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

39 Except the people of the right hand,

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

40 In gardens, they shall ask each other

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

41 About the guilty:

41 AAani almujrimeena

42 What has brought you into hell?

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

43 They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

44 And we used not to feed the poor;

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

46 And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

47 Till death overtook us.

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

49 What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

50 As if they were asses taking fright

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

51 That had fled from a lion?

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

52 Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

53 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

54 Nay! it is surely an admonition.

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

56 And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.

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