Al Muddathth

1 O you who covers himself [with a garment],

1 Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

2 Arise and warn

2 Qum faanthir

3 And your Lord glorify

3 Warabbaka fakabbir

4 And your clothing purify

4 Wathiyabaka fatahhir

5 And uncleanliness avoid

5 Waalrrujza faohjur

6 And do not confer favor to acquire more

6 Wala tamnun tastakthiru

7 But for your Lord be patient.

7 Walirabbika faisbir

8 And when the trumpet is blown,

8 Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

9 That Day will be a difficult day

9 Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

10 For the disbelievers - not easy.

10 AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

11 Leave Me with the one I created alone

11 Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

12 And to whom I granted extensive wealth

12 WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

13 And children present [with him]

13 Wabaneena shuhoodan

14 And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

14 Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

15 Then he desires that I should add more.

15 Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

16 No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

16 Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

17 I will cover him with arduous torment.

17 Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

18 Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

18 Innahu fakkara waqaddara

19 So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

19 Faqutila kayfa qaddara

20 Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

20 Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

21 Then he considered [again];

21 Thumma nathara

22 Then he frowned and scowled;

22 Thumma AAabasa wabasara

23 Then he turned back and was arrogant

23 Thumma adbara waistakbara

24 And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

24 Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

25 This is not but the word of a human being."

25 In hatha illa qawlu albashari

26 I will drive him into Saqar.

26 Saosleehi saqara

27 And what can make you know what is Saqar?

27 Wama adraka ma saqaru

28 It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

28 La tubqee wala tatharu

29 Blackening the skins.

29 Lawwahatun lilbashari

30 Over it are nineteen [angels].

30 AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

31 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.

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 No! By the moon

32 Kalla waalqamari

33 And [by] the night when it departs

33 Waallayli ith adbara

34 And [by] the morning when it brightens,

34 Waalssubhi itha asfara

35 Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

35 Innaha laihda alkubari

36 As a warning to humanity -

36 Natheeran lilbashari

37 To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

37 Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

38 Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

38 Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

39 Except the companions of the right,

39 Illa ashaba alyameeni

40 [Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

40 Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

41 About the criminals,

41 AAani almujrimeena

42 [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

42 Ma salakakum fee saqara

43 They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

43 Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

44 Nor did we used to feed the poor.

44 Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

45 And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

46 And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

47 Until there came to us the certainty."

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

48 So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

48 Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

49 Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

49 Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

50 As if they were alarmed donkeys

50 Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

51 Fleeing from a lion?

51 Farrat min qaswaratin

52 Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

52 Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

53 No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

53 Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

54 No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

54 Kalla innahu tathkiratun

55 Then whoever wills will remember it.

55 Faman shaa thakarahu

56 And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.

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