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 have wrapped up in your garments!

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

2 Rise to pray in the night except a little,

3 Half of it or a little less than that,

3 Half of it, or lessen 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 Quran as it ought to be recited.

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

5 Surely We will make to light upon you a weighty 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 Surely the rising by night is the firmest way to tread and the best corrective of speech.

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

7 Surely you have in the day time a long 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 (exclusive) 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 The Lord of the East and the West - - there is no god but He - - therefore take Him for a protector.

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 bear patiently what they say and avoid them with a becoming 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 and the rejecters, the possessors of ease and plenty, and respite them a little.

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

12 Surely with Us are heavy fetters and a flaming 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 when the earth and the mountains shall quake and the mountains shall become (as) heaps of sand let loose.

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 Surely We have sent to you an Apostle, a witness against you, as We sent an apostle to Firon.

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

16 But Firon disobeyed the apostle, so We laid on him a violent hold.

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 How, then, will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve, on the day which shall make children grey - headed?

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

18 The heaven shall rend asunder thereby; His promise is ever brought to fulfillment.

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

19 Surely this is a reminder, then let him, who will take the way to his Lord.

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 Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two - thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much of it as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor - rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift, and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
