Al-Muddaththir

Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

O you who covers himself [with a garment]

Qum faanthir

Arise and warn

Warabbaka fakabbir

And your Lord glorify

Wathiyabaka fatahhir

And your clothing purify

Waalrrujza faohjur

And uncleanliness avoid

Wala tamnun tastakthiru

And do not confer favor to acquire more

Walirabbika faisbir

But for your Lord be patient

Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

And when the trumpet is blown

Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

That Day will be a difficult day

AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

For the disbelievers - not easy

Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

Leave Me with the one I created alone

WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

Wabaneena shuhoodan

And children present [with him]

Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

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

Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

Then he desires that I should add more

Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate

Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

I will cover him with arduous torment

Innahu fakkara waqaddara

Indeed, he thought and deliberated

Faqutila kayfa qaddara

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated

Thumma nathara

Then he considered [again]

Thumma AAabasa wabasara

Then he frowned and scowled

Thumma adbara waistakbara

Then he turned back and was arrogant

Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

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

In hatha illa qawlu albashari

This is not but the word of a human being

Saosleehi saqara

I will drive him into Saqar

Wama adraka ma saqaru

And what can make you know what is Saqar

La tubqee wala tatharu

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned]

Lawwahatun lilbashari

Blackening the skins

AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Over it are nineteen [angels]

Wama jaAAalna ashaba alnnari illa malaikatan wama jaAAalna AAiddatahum illa fitnatan lillatheena kafaroo liyastayqina allatheena ootoo alkitaba wayazdada allatheena amanoo eemanan wala yartaba allatheena ootoo alkitaba waalmuminoona waliyaqoola allatheena fee quloobihim maradun waalkafiroona matha arada Allahu bihatha mathalan kathalika yudillu Allahu man yashao wayahdee man yashao wama yaAAlamu junooda rabbika illa huwa wama hiya illa thikra lilbashari

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

Kalla waalqamari

No! By the moon

Waallayli ith adbara

And [by] the night when it departs

Waalssubhi itha asfara

And [by] the morning when it brightens

Innaha laihda alkubari

Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

Natheeran lilbashari

As a warning to humanity

Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind

Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

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

Illa ashaba alyameeni

Except the companions of the right

Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

AAani almujrimeena

About the criminals

Ma salakakum fee saqara

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

Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

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

Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

Nor did we used to feed the poor

Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

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

Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Until there came to us the certainty

Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

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

Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

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

Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

As if they were alarmed donkeys

Farrat min qaswaratin

Fleeing from a lion

Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

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

Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter

Kalla innahu tathkiratun

No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

Faman shaa thakarahu

Then whoever wills will remember it

Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

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