يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ (1)
O you covered [in your cloak] |
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ (2)
arise and warn |
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ (3)
and proclaim the greatness of your Lord |
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ (4)
and purify your garments |
وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ (5)
and shun idol worshiping |
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ (6)
and do not do a favor for a greater return |
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ (7)
and be patient for the sake of your Lord |
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ (8)
When the Trumpet is sounded |
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ (9)
that Day will be a difficult day |
عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ (10)
not easy for the disbelievers |
ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا (11)
Leave me alone to deal with the one whom I created |
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا (12)
and gave him abundant wealth |
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا (13)
and sons by his side |
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا (14)
and gave him a life of comfort and power |
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ (15)
yet he aspires that I should give him more |
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا (16)
By no means! For he has been stubborn against Our verses |
سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا (17)
I will subject him to an unbearable punishment |
إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ (18)
For he reflected and plotted [against the Qur’an] |
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ (19)
May he perish, how he plotted |
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ (20)
Again, may he perish, how he plotted |
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ (21)
Then he looked around |
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ (22)
then he frowned and scowled |
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ (23)
then turned away with arrogance |
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ (24)
then said, “This is nothing but magic from the past |
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ (25)
This is nothing but the words of a man.” |
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ (26)
Soon I will make him burn in the Scorching Fire |
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ (27)
How do you know what Scorching Fire is |
لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ (28)
It leaves nothing and spares no one |
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ (29)
scorching the skin |
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ (30)
It is overseen by nineteen [angels] |
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 (31)
We have only appointed angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have only made their number as a test for the disbelievers, so that those who were given the Scripture may have certainty and the believers may increase in faith; and neither those who were given the Scripture nor the believers may have any doubts; and so that those [hypocrites] in whose hearts is sickness and the disbelievers may say, “What does Allah mean by this number?” Thus Allah causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills, and none knows the soldiers of your Lord but He. This is but a reminder to mankind |
كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ (32)
No indeed! By the moon |
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ (33)
and by the night when it departs |
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ (34)
and by the dawn when it brightens |
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ (35)
Hellfire is indeed one of the greatest matters |
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ (36)
a warning to mankind |
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ (37)
to whoever among you chooses to advance or regress |
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ (38)
Every soul is held in pledge for its deeds |
إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ (39)
except the People of the Right |
فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ (40)
who will be in gardens, asking one another |
عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ (41)
about the wicked |
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ (42)
“What brought you to Hell?” |
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ (43)
They will say, “We were not among those who prayed |
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ (44)
nor did we feed the poor |
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ (45)
and we indulged in falsehood along with those who indulged in it |
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ (46)
and we denied the Day of Judgment |
حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ (47)
until the certainty [of death] came to us.” |
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ (48)
So the intercession of intercessors will not benefit them |
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ (49)
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from the Reminder |
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ (50)
as if they were terrified wild asses |
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍ (51)
fleeing from a lion |
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً (52)
In fact, each one of them desires that open [divine] letters be sent to each of them |
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ (53)
By no means! They rather do not fear the Hereafter |
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ (54)
No indeed! This [Qur’an] is a reminder |
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ (55)
So whoever wills may take heed |
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ (56)
But they will not take heed unless Allah so wills. He is most worthy to be feared and most worthy to forgive |
