The Enwrapped · al-Muzzammil · سورة المزمل · 20 ayahs

١يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ

1O you wrapped in garments.

٢قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

2Stand in prayer through the night, all but a little.

٣نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا

3Half of it, or reduce from it a little.

٤أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا

4Or add to it, and recite the Quran in measured recitation.

٥إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا

5We will cast upon you a weighty word.

٦إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا

6Truly the rising by night is firmer in tread and more upright in speech.

٧إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا

7You have in the day prolonged occupation.

٨وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا

8Remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him completely.

٩رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا

9Lord of the east and the west—there is no god but Him—so take Him as your Guardian.

١٠وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا

10Be patient over what they say, and part from them graciously.

١١وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا

11Leave Me with the deniers, those of luxury, and give them a brief respite.

١٢إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنْكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا

12With Us are shackles and a blazing fire.

١٣وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

13And food that chokes and a painful punishment.

١٤يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَهِيلًا

14On the Day the earth and the mountains quake, and the mountains become a heap of shifting sand.

١٥إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا

15We have sent to you a messenger as a witness over you, just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

١٦فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا

16But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a devastating grip.

١٧فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا

17How will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve, against a Day that turns children gray-haired?

١٨السَّمَاءُ مُنْفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا

18The sky will split apart by it. His promise is always fulfilled.

١٩إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

19This is a reminder. So whoever wills, let him take a path to his Lord.

٢٠إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَنْ سَيَكُونُ مِنْكُمْ مَرْضَىٰ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

20Your Lord knows that you stand nearly two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or a third of it, as does a group of those with you. God measures the night and the day. He knew that you would never keep exact count of it, so He turned to you in mercy. So recite what is easy for you of the Quran. He knew that some of you will be sick, and others traveling through the land seeking God’s bounty, and others fighting in God’s cause. So recite what is easy of it, and establish the prayer and give the charity and lend God a good loan. Whatever good you send ahead for yourselves, you will find it with God—better and greater in reward. And seek God’s forgiveness. Truly God is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
