Surah Al-Muddaththir سُورَةُ المُدَّثِّرِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ1

74:1O you who covers himself [with a garment],

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ2

74:2Arise and warn

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ3

74:3And your Lord glorify

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ4

74:4And your clothing purify

وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ5

74:5And uncleanliness avoid

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ6

74:6And do not confer favor to acquire more

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ7

74:7But for your Lord be patient.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ8

74:8And when the trumpet is blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ9

74:9That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ10

74:10For the disbelievers - not easy.

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا11

74:11Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا12

74:12And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا13

74:13And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا14

74:14And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ15

74:15Then he desires that I should add more.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا16

74:16No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا17

74:17I will cover him with arduous torment.

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ18

74:18Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ19

74:19So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ20

74:20Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ21

74:21Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ22

74:22Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ23

74:23Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ24

74:24And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ25

74:25This is not but the word of a human being."

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ26

74:26I will drive him into Saqar.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ27

74:27And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ28

74:28It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ29

74:29Blackening the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ30

74:30Over it are nineteen [angels].

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ31

74:31And 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.

كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ32

74:32No! By the moon

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ33

74:33And [by] the night when it departs

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ34

74:34And [by] the morning when it brightens,

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ35

74:35Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]

نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ36

74:36As a warning to humanity -

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ37

74:37To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ38

74:38Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained

إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ39

74:39Except the companions of the right,

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ40

74:40[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ41

74:41About the criminals,

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ42

74:42[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ43

74:43They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ44

74:44Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ45

74:45And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ46

74:46And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ47

74:47Until there came to us the certainty."

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ48

74:48So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ49

74:49Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ50

74:50As if they were alarmed donkeys

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ51

74:51Fleeing from a lion?

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ52

74:52Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ53

74:53No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ54

74:54No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ55

74:55Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ56

74:56And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
