سُورَةُ المُزَّمِّلِ

O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

Yaw ayyuhal muzzammil

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

Qumil laila illaa qaleelaa

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

Nisfahooo awinqus minhu qaleelaa

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

Aw zid 'alaihi wa rattilil Qur'aana tarteela

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

Innaa sanulqee 'alika qawalan saqeelaa

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

Inn naashi'atal laili hiya ashadddu wat anw wa aqwamu qeelaa

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

Inna laka fin nahaari sabhan taweelaa

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

Wazkuris ma rabbika wa tabattal ilaihi tabteelaa

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

Rabbul mashriqi wal maghriibi laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fattakhizhu wakeelaa

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

Wasbir 'alaa maa yaqoo loona wahjurhum hajran jameelaa

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

Wa zarnee walmukaz zibeena ulin na'mati wa mahhilhum qaleelaa

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

Inna ladainaaa ankaalanw wa jaheemaa

And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

Wa ta'aaman zaa ghussa tinw wa'azaaban aleemaa

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

Yawma tarjuful ardu waljibaalu wa kaanatil jibaalu kaseebam maheelaa

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

Innaa arsalnaaa ilaikum rasoolan shahidan 'alikum kamaaa arsalnaaa ilaa Fir'awna Rasoolna

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

Fa'asaa Fir'awnur Rasoola fa akhaznaahu akhzanw wabeelaa

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

Fakaifa tattaqoona in kafartum yawmany yaj'alul wildaana sheeba

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

Assamaaa'u munfatirum bih; kaana wa'duhoo maf'oola

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

Inna haazihee tazkiratun fa man shaaa'at takhaza ilaa Rabbihee sabeelaa

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.

Inna Rabbaka ya'lamu annaka taqoomu adnaa min sulusa yil laili wa nisfahoo wa sulusahoo wa taaa'ifatum minal lazeena ma'ak; wal laahu yuqaddirul laila wanna haar; 'alima al lan tuhsoohu fataaba 'alaikum faqra'oo maa tayassara minal quraan; 'alima an sa yakoonu minkum mardaa wa aakharoona yadriboona fil ardi yabtaghoona min fadlil laahi wa aakharoona yuqaatiloona fee sabeelil laahi faqra'oo ma tayassara minhu wa aqeemus salaata wa aatuz zakaata wa aqridul laaha qardan hasanaa; wa maa tuqadimoo li anfusikum min khairin tajidoohu 'indal laahi huwa khayranw wa a'zama ajraa; wastaghfirul laahaa innal laaha ghafoorur raheem.
