Chapter 74, 56 verses
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
Arise and warn
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ
Qum faanthir
And your Lord glorify
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ
Warabbaka fakabbir
And your clothing purify
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ
Wathiyabaka fatahhir
And uncleanliness avoid
وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ
Waalrrujza faohjur
And do not confer favor to acquire more
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ
Wala tamnun tastakthiru
But for your Lord be patient.
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ
Walirabbika faisbir
And when the trumpet is blown,
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ
Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori
That Day will be a difficult day
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun
For the disbelievers - not easy.
عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ
AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin
Leave Me with the one I created alone
ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan
And children present [with him]
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا
Wabaneena shuhoodan
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan
Then he desires that I should add more.
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
I will cover him with arduous torment.
سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
Innahu fakkara waqaddara
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara
Then he considered [again];
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
Thumma nathara
Then he frowned and scowled;
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
Thumma AAabasa wabasara
Then he turned back and was arrogant
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ
Thumma adbara waistakbara
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
This is not but the word of a human being."
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
I will drive him into Saqar.
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
Saosleehi saqara
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ
Wama adraka ma saqaru
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
La tubqee wala tatharu
Blackening the skins.
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
Lawwahatun lilbashari
Over it are nineteen [angels].
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
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.
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
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
No! By the moon
كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ
Kalla waalqamari
And [by] the night when it departs
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
Waallayli ith adbara
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ
Waalssubhi itha asfara
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ
Innaha laihda alkubari
As a warning to humanity -
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
Natheeran lilbashari
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
Except the companions of the right,
إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ
Illa ashaba alyameeni
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
About the criminals,
عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
AAani almujrimeena
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
Ma salakakum fee saqara
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
Until there came to us the certainty."
حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
As if they were alarmed donkeys
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
Fleeing from a lion?
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍ
Farrat min qaswaratin
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
Then whoever wills will remember it.
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
Faman shaa thakarahu
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
