Chapter 73 : Cloaked (Al-Muzzammil)


Sura:Verse English Arabic
  In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
73:1 O you cloaked one. يَأَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ
73:2 Meditate during the night, except rarely. قُمْ الَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
73:3 Half of it, or a little less. نِصْفَهُ أَوْ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا
73:4 Or a little more. And read the Quran from cover to cover. أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلْ الْقُرْءان تَرْتِيلًا
73:5 We will give you a heavy message. إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا
73:6 The meditation at night is more effective, and more righteous. إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ الَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْءا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا
73:7 You have a lot of time during the day for other matters. إِنَّ لَكَ فِي اَلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا
73:8 You shall commemorate the name of your Lord, to come ever closer and closer to Him. وَاذْكُرْ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا
73:9 Lord of the east and the west; there is no other god beside Him. You should choose Him as your advocate. رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا
73:10 And remain steadfast in the face of their utterances, and disregard them in a nice manner. وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا
73:11 And let Me deal with the rejectors, who have been generously blessed; just give them a little time. وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا
73:12 We have severe punishments, and Hell. إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا
73:13 Food that can hardly be swallowed, and painful retribution. وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
73:14 The day will come when the earth and the mountains will quake, and the mountains will turn into a weightless pile. يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتْ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَهِيلًا
73:15 We have sent to you a messenger, just as we sent to Pharaoh a messenger. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا
73:16 Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger and, consequently, we punished him severely. فَعَصَى فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا
73:17 If you disbelieve, how can you evade a day so terrible that it makes the infants gray-haired? فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَنَ شِيبًا
73:18 The heaven will shatter therefrom. His promise is true. السَّمَاءُ مُنْفَطِرٌ بِهِ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا
73:19 This is a reminder; whoever wills, let him choose the path to his Lord. إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا
73:20 Your Lord knows that you meditate during two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, and so do some of those who believed with you. GOD has designed the night and the day, and He knows that you cannot always do this. He has pardoned you. Instead, you shall read what you can of the Quran. He knows that some of you may be ill, others may be traveling in pursuit of GOD's provisions, and others may be striving in the cause of GOD. You shall read what you can of it, and observe the contact prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and lend GOD a loan of righteousness. Whatever good you send ahead on behalf of your souls, you will find it at GOD far better and generously rewarded. And implore GOD for forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَى مِنْ ثُلُثَي الَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنْ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْ الْقُرْءانِ عَلِمَ أَنْ سَيَكُونُ مِنْكُمْ مَرْضَى وَءاخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَءاخَرُونَ يُقَتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَوةَ وَءاتُوا الزَّكَوةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

Praise be to God Lord of the universe.
