Al-Muddaththir

Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru

Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Muddaththiru

O you who are clothed

Qum faanthir

Qum Fa'andhir

Arise and warn

Warabbaka fakabbir

Wa Rabbaka Fakabbir

And your Lord do magnify

Wathiyabaka fatahhir

Wa Thiyābaka Faţahhir

And your garments do purify

Waalrrujza faohjur

Wa Ar-Rujza Fāhjur

And uncleanness do shun

Wala tamnun tastakthiru

Wa Lā Tamnun Tastakthiru

And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase

Walirabbika faisbir

Wa Lirabbika Fāşbir

And for the sake of your Lord, be patient

Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori

Fa'idhā Nuqira Fī An-Nāqūri

For when the trumpet is sounded

Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun

Fadhālika Yawma'idhin Yawmun `Asīrun

That, at that time, shall be a difficult day

AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin

Alá Al-Kāfirīna Ghayru Yasīrin

For the unbelievers, anything but easy

Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan

Dharnī Wa Man Khalaqtu Waĥīdāan

Leave Me and him whom I created alone

WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan

Wa Ja`altu Lahu Mālāan Mamdūdāan

And give him vast riches

Wabaneena shuhoodan

Wa Banīna Shuhūdāan

And sons dwelling in his presence

Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan

Wa Mahhadtu Lahu Tamhīdāan

And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably

Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda

Thumma Yaţma`u 'An 'Azīda

And yet he desires that I should add more

Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan

Kallā 'Innahu Kāna Li'yātinā `Anīdāan

By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications

Saorhiquhu saAAoodan

Sa'urhiquhu Şa`ūdāan

I will make a distressing punishment overtake him

Innahu fakkara waqaddara

Innahu Fakkara Wa Qaddara

Surely he reflected and guessed

Faqutila kayfa qaddara

Faqutila Kayfa Qaddara

But may he be cursed how he plotted

Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara

Thumma Qutila Kayfa Qaddara

Again, may he be cursed how he plotted

Thumma nathara

Thumma Nažara

Then he looked

Thumma AAabasa wabasara

Thumma `Abasa Wa Basara

Then he frowned and scowled

Thumma adbara waistakbara

Thumma 'Adbara Wa Astakbara

Then he turned back and was big with pride

Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu

Faqāla 'In Hādhā 'Illā Siĥrun Yu'utharu

Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others)

In hatha illa qawlu albashari

In Hādhā 'Illā Qawlu Al-Bashari

This is naught but the word of a mortal

Saosleehi saqara

Sa'uşlīhi Saqara

I will cast him into hell

Wama adraka ma saqaru

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Saqaru

And what will make you realize what hell is

La tubqee wala tatharu

Lā Tubqī Wa Lā Tadharu

It leaves naught nor does it spare aught

Lawwahatun lilbashari

Lawwāĥatun Lilbashari

It scorches the mortal

AAalayha tisAAata AAashara

Alayhā Tis`ata `Ashara

Over it are nineteen

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 wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals

Kalla waalqamari

Kallā Wa Al-Qamari

Nay; I swear by the moon

Waallayli ith adbara

Wa Al-Layli 'Idh 'Adbara

And the night when it departs

Waalssubhi itha asfara

Wa Aş-Şubĥi 'Idhā 'Asfara

And the daybreak when it shines

Innaha laihda alkubari

Innahā La'iĥdá Al-Kubari

Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes)

Natheeran lilbashari

Nadhīrāan Lilbashari

A warning to mortals

Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara

Liman Shā'a Minkum 'An Yataqaddama 'Aw Yata'akhkhara

To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind

Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun

Kullu Nafsin Bimā Kasabat Rahīnahun

Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns

Illa ashaba alyameeni

Illā 'Aşĥāba Al-Yamīni

Except the people of the right hand

Fee jannatin yatasaaloona

Fī Jannātin Yatasā'alūna

In gardens, they shall ask each other

AAani almujrimeena

Ani Al-Mujrimīna

About the guilty

Ma salakakum fee saqara

Mā Salakakum Fī Saqara

What has brought you into hell

Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena

Qālū Lam Naku Mina Al-Muşallīna

They shall say: We were not of those who prayed

Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena

Wa Lam Naku Nuţ`imu Al-Miskīna

And we used not to feed the poor

Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

Wa Kunnā Nakhūđu Ma`a Al-Khā'iđīna

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses

Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

Wa Kunnā Nukadhibu Biyawmi Ad-Dīni

And we used to call the day of judgment a lie

Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Ĥattá 'Atānā Al-Yaqīnu

Till death overtook us

Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena

Famā Tanfa`uhum Shafā`atu Ash-Shāfi`īna

So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them

Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena

Famā Lahum `Ani At-Tadhkirati Mu`riđīna

What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition

Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun

Ka'annahum Ĥumurun Mustanfirahun

As if they were asses taking fright

Farrat min qaswaratin

Farrat Min Qaswarahin

That had fled from a lion

Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan

Bal Yurīdu Kullu Amri'in Minhum 'An Yu'utá Şuĥufāan Munasharahan

Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out

Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata

Kallā Bal Lā Yakhāfūna Al-'Ākhiraha

Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter

Kalla innahu tathkiratun

Kallā 'Innahu Tadhkirahun

Nay! it is surely an admonition

Faman shaa thakarahu

Faman Shā'a Dhakarahu

So whoever pleases may mind it

Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati

Wa Mā Yadhkurūna 'Illā 'An Yashā'a Allāhu Huwa 'Ahlu At-Taqwá Wa 'Ahlu Al-Maghfirahi

And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive
