আল মুজাম্মিল (বস্ত্রাচ্ছাদিত)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O you wrapped in garments (i.e. Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)!

1 O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

2 Stand (to pray) all night, except a little -

2 Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

3 Half of it or a little less than that,

3 Half of it - or subtract from it a little

4 Or a little more. And recite the Qur'an (aloud) in a slow, (pleasant tone and) style.

4 Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.

5 Verily, We shall send down to you a weighty Word (i.e. obligations, laws).

5 Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

6 Verily, the rising by night (for Tahajjud prayer) is very hard and most potent and good for governing oneself, and most suitable for (understanding) the Word (of Allah).

6 Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

7 Verily, there is for you by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties.

7 Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

8 And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with a complete devotion.

8 And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

9 (He Alone is) the Lord of the east and the west; La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). So take Him Alone as Wakil (Disposer of your affairs).

9 [He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

10 And be patient (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with what they say, and keep away from them in a good way.

10 And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.

11 And leave Me Alone to deal with the beliers (those who deny My Verses), those who are in possession of good things of life. And give them respite for a little while.

11 And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little.

12 Verily, with Us are fetters (to bind them), and a raging Fire.

12 Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

13 And a food that chokes, and a painful torment.

13 And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

14 On the Day when the earth and the mountains will be in violent shake, and the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out.

14 On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

15 Verily, We have sent to you (O men) a Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to be a witness over you, as We did send a Messenger [Musa (Moses)] to Fir'aun (Pharaoh).

15 Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

16 But Fir'aun (Pharaoh) disobeyed the Messenger [Musa (Moses)]; so We seized him with a severe punishment.

16 But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.

17 Then how can you avoid the punishment, if you disbelieve, on a Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) that will make the children grey-headed?

17 Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white - haired?

18 Whereon the heaven will be cleft asunder? His Promise is certainly to be accomplished.

18 The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.

19 Verily, this is an admonition: therefore whosoever will, let him take a Path to His Lord!

19 Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.

20 Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and also a party of those with you. And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, recite you of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's Bounty, yet others fighting in Allah's Cause. So recite as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat ) and give Zakat, and lend to Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you send before you for yourselves (i.e. Nawafil non-obligatory acts of worship: prayers, charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah), you will certainly find it with Allah, better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful .

20 Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
