Al-Muddaththir

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُدَّثِّرُ﴿1﴾

O you who covers himself [with a garment]

قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ﴿2﴾

Arise and warn

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ﴿3﴾

And your Lord glorify

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡ﴿4﴾

And your clothing purify

وَٱلرُّجۡزَ فَٱهۡجُرۡ﴿5﴾

And uncleanliness avoid

وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ﴿6﴾

And do not confer favor to acquire more

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصۡبِرۡ﴿7﴾

But for your Lord be patient

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ﴿8﴾

And when the trumpet is blown

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَوۡمٌ عَسِيرٌ﴿9﴾

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرٖ﴿10﴾

For the disbelievers - not easy

ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا﴿11﴾

Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا﴿12﴾

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا﴿13﴾

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا﴿14﴾

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

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ﴿15﴾

Then he desires that I should add more

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا﴿16﴾

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا﴿17﴾

I will cover him with arduous torment

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ﴿18﴾

Indeed, he thought and deliberated

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ﴿19﴾

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ﴿20﴾

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ﴿21﴾

Then he considered [again]

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ﴿22﴾

Then he frowned and scowled

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ﴿23﴾

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ﴿24﴾

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

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ﴿25﴾

This is not but the word of a human being

سَأُصۡلِيهِ سَقَرَ﴿26﴾

I will drive him into Saqar

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ﴿27﴾

And what can make you know what is Saqar

لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ﴿28﴾

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned]

لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ﴿29﴾

Blackening the skins

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ﴿30﴾

Over it are nineteen [angels]

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ﴿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

كَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ﴿32﴾

No! By the moon

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذۡ أَدۡبَرَ﴿33﴾

And [by] the night when it departs

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ﴿34﴾

And [by] the morning when it brightens

إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ﴿35﴾

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ﴿36﴾

As a warning to humanity

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوۡ يَتَأَخَّرَ﴿37﴾

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind

كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِينَةٌ﴿38﴾

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

إِلَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ﴿39﴾

Except the companions of the right

فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ﴿40﴾

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ﴿41﴾

About the criminals

مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ﴿42﴾

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

قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ﴿43﴾

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

وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ﴿44﴾

Nor did we used to feed the poor

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ﴿45﴾

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

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ﴿46﴾

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ﴿47﴾

Until there came to us the certainty

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ﴿48﴾

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

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ﴿49﴾

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

كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ﴿50﴾

As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ﴿51﴾

Fleeing from a lion

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ﴿52﴾

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

كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ﴿53﴾

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ﴿54﴾

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ﴿55﴾

Then whoever wills will remember it

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ﴿56﴾

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