In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
o you (prophet muhammad) wrapped, (1) | | يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ ﴿1﴾ |
rise (to pray) the night except a little; (2) | | قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ﴿2﴾ |
half the night, or a little less (3) | | نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا ﴿3﴾ |
or a little more; and with recitation, recite the koran. (4) | | أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا ﴿4﴾ |
we are about to cast upon you a weighty word. (5) | | إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا ﴿5﴾ |
indeed, the first part of night is heavier in tread, and more upright in speech. (6) | | إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْءًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا ﴿6﴾ |
you have by day prolonged occupations. (7) | | إِنَّ لَكَ فِي اَلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا ﴿7﴾ |
remember the name of your lord and dedicate yourself devoutly to him. (8) | | وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا ﴿8﴾ |
he is the lord of the east and the west; there is no god except him. take him for your guardian. (9) | | رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا ﴿9﴾ |
bear patiently with what they say and with a fine abandonment forsake them. (10) | | وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا ﴿10﴾ |
leave to me those who belie, those who lead a life of pleasure, and bear with them yet a little while. (11) | | وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا ﴿11﴾ |
we have fetters (for them) and a blazing fire, (12) | | إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا ﴿12﴾ |
choking food and a painful punishment. (13) | | وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا ﴿13﴾ |
on the day when the earth with all its mountains quake and the mountains become heaps of shifting sand. (14) | | يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَّهِيلًا ﴿14﴾ |
indeed, we have sent to you a messenger as a witness over you, just as we sent a messenger to pharaoh. (15) | | إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا ﴿15﴾ |
pharaoh disobeyed our messenger, so we seized him remorselessly. (16) | | فَعَصَى فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا ﴿16﴾ |
if you disbelieve, how will you guard yourself against the day that will make children gray haired, (17) | | فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا ﴿17﴾ |
on which the heaven will split apart, and his promise is done. (18) | | السَّمَاء مُنفَطِرٌ بِهِ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا ﴿18﴾ |
this is indeed a reminder. let whosoever will take the path to his lord. (19) | | إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَن شَاء اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا ﴿19﴾ |
your lord knows that you keep vigil nearly two thirds of the night and sometimes half or onethird of it, and a party of those with you. allah measures the night and the day. he knows that you cannot count it, and turns to you. therefore, recite from the koran as much as is easy (for you); he knows that among you there are the sick and others traveling the road seeking the bounty of allah; and others fighting in the way of allah. so then, recite from it as much as is easy. establish your prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and lend allah a generous loan. whatever good you shall forward to your souls' account, you surely will find it better with allah, and a mightier wage. and supplicate for the forgiveness of allah. allah is the forgiving, the merciful. (20) | | إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَى مِن ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْرَؤُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَى وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَاقْرَؤُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿20﴾ |
