سُورَةُ المُدَّثِّرِ

O you who covers himself [with a garment],

Yaaa ayyuhal muddassir

Arise and warn

Qum fa anzir

And your Lord glorify

Wa rabbaka fakabbir

And your clothing purify

Wa siyaabaka fatahhir

And uncleanliness avoid

Warrujza fahjur

And do not confer favor to acquire more

Wa laa tamnun tastaksir

But for your Lord be patient.

Wa li Rabbika fasbir

And when the trumpet is blown,

Fa izaa nuqira fin naaqoor

That Day will be a difficult day

Fazaalika yawma 'iziny yawmun 'aseer

For the disbelievers - not easy.

'Alal kaafireena ghayru yaseer

Leave Me with the one I created alone

Zamee wa man khalaqtu waheedaa

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

Wa ja'altu lahoo maalam mamdoodaa

And children present [with him]

Wa baneena shuhoodaa

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

Wa mahhattu lahoo tamheeda

Then he desires that I should add more.

Summa yat ma'u an azeed

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

Kallaaa innahoo kaana li Aayaatinaa 'aneedaa

I will cover him with arduous torment.

Sa urhiquhoo sa'oodaa

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

Innahoo fakkara wa qaddar

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

Faqutila kayfa qaddar

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

Summa qutila kaifa qaddar

Then he considered [again];

Summa nazar

Then he frowned and scowled;

Summa 'abasa wa basar

Then he turned back and was arrogant

Summaa adbara wastakbar

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

Faqaala in haazaaa illaa sihruny yu'sar

This is not but the word of a human being."

In haazaaa illaa qawlul bashar

I will drive him into Saqar.

Sa usleehi saqar

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

Wa maaa adraaka maa saqar

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

Laa tubqee wa laa tazar

Blackening the skins.

Lawwaahatul lilbashar

Over it are nineteen [angels].

'Alaihaa tis'ata 'ashar

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.

Wa maaja''alnaaa As haaban naari illaa malaaa 'ikatanw wa maa ja'alnaa 'iddatahum illaa fitnatal lillazeena kafaroo liyastayqinal lazeena ootul kitaaba wa yazdaadal lazeena aamanooo eemaananw wa laa yartaabal lazeena ootul kitaaba walmu'minoona wa liyaqoolal lazeena fee quloo bihim maradunw walkaafiroona maazaaa araadal laahu bihaazaa masalaa; kazaalika yudillul laahu many yashaaa'u wa yahdee many yashaaa'; wa maa ya'lamu junooda rabbika illaa hoo; wa maa hiya illaa zikraa lil bashar

No! By the moon

Kallaa walqamar

And [by] the night when it departs

Wallaili adbar

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

Wassub hi izaaa asfar

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

Innahaa la ihdal kubar

As a warning to humanity -

Nazeeral lilbashar

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

Liman shaaa'a minkum any yataqaddama aw yata akhkhar

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

Kullu nafsim bim kasabat raheenah

Except the companions of the right,

Illaaa as haabal yameen

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

Fee jannaatiny yata saaa'aloon

About the criminals,

'Anil mujrimeen

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

Maa salakakum fee saqar

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

Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen

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

Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen

Until there came to us the certainty."

Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen

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

Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een

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

Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen

As if they were alarmed donkeys

Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah

Fleeing from a lion?

Farrat min qaswarah

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

Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah

Then whoever wills will remember it.

Fa man shaaa'a zakarah

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

Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
