بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ
Ya ayyuha almuddaththiru
O you (Muhammad SAW) enveloped (in garments)!
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ
Warabbaka fakabbir
And your Lord (Allah) magnify!
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ
Wathiyabaka fatahhir
And your garments purify!
وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ
Waalrrujza faohjur
And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ
Wala tamnun tastakthiru
And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of Allah's obedience as a favour to Allah).
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ
Walirabbika faisbir
And be patient for the sake of your Lord (i.e. perform your duty to Allah)!
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ
Faitha nuqira fee alnnaqoori
Then, when the Trumpet is sounded (i.e. its second blowing);
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
Fathalika yawmaithin yawmun AAaseerun
Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day.
عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ
AAala alkafireena ghayru yaseerin
Far from easy for the disbelievers.
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا
Tharnee waman khalaqtu waheedan
Leave Me Alone (to deal) with whom I created Alone (without any means, i.e. Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah Al-Makhzumi)!
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا
WajaAAaltu lahu malan mamdoodan
And then granted him resources in abundance.
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا
Wabaneena shuhoodan
And children to be by his side!
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا
Wamahhadtu lahu tamheedan
And made life smooth and comfortable for him!
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
Thumma yatmaAAu an azeeda
After all that he desires that I should give more;
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا
Kalla innahu kana liayatina AAaneedan
Nay! Verily, he has been stubborn and opposing Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.).
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا
Saorhiquhu saAAoodan
I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa'ud, or to) face a severe torment!
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
Innahu fakkara waqaddara
Verily, he thought and plotted;
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Faqutila kayfa qaddara
So let him be cursed! How he plotted!
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Thumma qutila kayfa qaddara
And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted!
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
Thumma AAabasa wabasara
Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ
Thumma adbara waistakbara
Then he turned back and was proud;
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ
Faqala in hatha illa sihrun yutharu
Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old;
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ
In hatha illa qawlu albashari
"This is nothing but the word of a human being!"
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
Saosleehi saqara
I will cast him into Hell-fire
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ
Wama adraka ma saqaru
And what will make you know exactly what Hell-fire is?
لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ
La tubqee wala tatharu
It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!
لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ
Lawwahatun lilbashari
Burning the skins!
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
AAalayha tisAAata AAashara
Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).
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 لِلْبَشَرِ
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 set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Quran is the truth as it agrees with their Books i.e. their number (19) is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and the believers may increase in Faith (as this Quran is the truth) and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
Kalla waalqamari
Nay, and by the moon,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
Waallayli ith adbara
And by the night when it withdraws,
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
Waalssubhi itha asfara
And by the dawn when it brightens,
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
Innaha laihda alkubari
Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest calamities.
نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ
Natheeran lilbashari
A warning to mankind,
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Liman shaa minkum an yataqaddama aw yataakhkhara
To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by commiting sins),
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Kullu nafsin bima kasabat raheenatun
Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,
إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Illa ashaba alyameeni
Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism);
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fee jannatin yatasaaloona
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
AAani almujrimeena
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers, etc.), (And they will say to them):
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
Ma salakakum fee saqara
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
Qaloo lam naku mina almusalleena
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salat (prayers)
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
Walam naku nutAAimu almiskeena
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni
"And we used to belie the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
Hatta atana alyaqeenu
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ
Fama tanfaAAuhum shafaAAatu alshshafiAAeena
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Fama lahum AAani alttathkirati muAArideena
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ
Kaannahum humurun mustanfiratun
As if they were frightened (wild) donkeys.
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Farrat min qaswaratin
Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ
Bal yureedu kullu imriin minhum an yuta suhufan munashsharatan
Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allah with a writing that Islam is the right religion, and Muhammad SAW has come with the truth from Allah the Lord of the heavens and earth, etc.).
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
Kalla bal la yakhafoona alakhirata
Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allah's punishment).
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ
Kalla innahu tathkiratun
Nay, verily, this (Quran) is an admonition,
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Faman shaa thakarahu
So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
Wama yathkuroona illa an yashaa Allahu huwa ahlu alttaqwa waahlu almaghfirati
And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (God) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
