আল মুদ্দাসসির (আচ্ছাদিত)

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O thou enveloped in thy cloak,

1 O you who are clothed!

2 Arise and warn!

2 Arise and warn,

3 Thy Lord magnify,

3 And your Lord do magnify,

4 Thy raiment purify,

4 And your garments do purify,

5 Pollution shun!

5 And uncleanness do shun,

6 And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!

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

7 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!

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

8 For when the trumpet shall sound,

8 For when the trumpet is sounded,

9 Surely that day will be a day of anguish,

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

10 Not of ease, for disbelievers.

10 For the unbelievers, anything but easy.

11 Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,

11 Leave Me and him whom I created alone,

12 And then bestowed upon him ample means,

12 And give him vast riches,

13 And sons abiding in his presence

13 And sons dwelling in his presence,

14 And made (life) smooth for him.

14 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;

15 Yet he desireth that I should give more.

15 And yet he desires that I should add more!

16 Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.

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

17 On him I shall impose a fearful doom.

17 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.

18 For lo! he did consider; then he planned -

18 Surely he reflected and guessed,

19 (Self - )destroyed is he, how he planned!

19 But may he be cursed how he plotted;

20 Again (self - )destroyed is he, how he planned! -

20 Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;

21 Then looked he,

21 Then he looked,

22 Then frowned he and showed displeasure.

22 Then he frowned and scowled,

23 Then turned he away in pride

23 Then he turned back and was big with pride,

24 And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;

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

25 This is naught else than speech of mortal man.

25 This is naught but the word of a mortal.

26 Him shall I fling unto the burning.

26 I will cast him into hell.

27 - Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -

27 And what will make you realize what hell is?

28 It leaveth naught; it spareth naught

28 It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

29 It shrivelleth the man.

29 It scorches the mortal.

30 Above it are nineteen.

30 Over it are nineteen.

31 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

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.

32 Nay, by the Moon

32 Nay; I swear by the moon,

33 And the night when it withdraweth

33 And the night when it departs,

34 And the dawn when it shineth forth,

34 And the daybreak when it shines;

35 Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)

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

36 As a warning unto men,

36 A warning to mortals,

37 Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

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

38 Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;

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

39 Save those who will stand on the right hand.

39 Except the people of the right hand,

40 In gardens they will ask one another

40 In gardens, they shall ask each other

41 Concerning the guilty:

41 About the guilty:

42 What hath brought you to this burning ?

42 What has brought you into hell?

43 They will answer: We were not of those who prayed

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

44 Nor did we feed the wretched.

44 And we used not to feed the poor;

45 We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,

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

46 And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

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

47 Till the Inevitable came unto us.

47 Till death overtook us.

48 The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.

48 So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.

49 Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,

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

50 As they were frightened asses

50 As if they were asses taking fright

51 Fleeing from a lion ?

51 That had fled from a lion?

52 Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).

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

53 Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.

53 Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.

54 Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.

54 Nay! it is surely an admonition.

55 So whosoever will may heed.

55 So whoever pleases may mind it.

56 And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.

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