The Enrobed

سورة الـمـدثـر

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
﴿١﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ
1O you covered up.
﴿٢﴾ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ
2Arise and warn.
﴿٣﴾ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ
3And glorify your Lord.
﴿٤﴾ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ
4And purify your clothes.
﴿٥﴾ وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ
5And abandon abominations.
﴿٦﴾ وَلَا تَمْنُنْ تَسْتَكْثِرُ
6And show no favor, seeking gain.
﴿٧﴾ وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ
7And be constant for your Lord.
﴿٨﴾ فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ
8When the Trumpet is sounded.
﴿٩﴾ فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
9That Day will be a difficult day.
﴿١٠﴾ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ
10For the disbelievers—not easy.
﴿١١﴾ ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا
11Leave Me alone to him whom I created.
﴿١٢﴾ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَمْدُودًا
12And gave him vast wealth.
﴿١٣﴾ وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا
13And children as witnesses.
﴿١٤﴾ وَمَهَّدْتُ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا
14And smoothed things for him.
﴿١٥﴾ ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
15Yet he desires that I should add more.
﴿١٦﴾ كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا
16By no means! He was stubborn towards Our revelations.
﴿١٧﴾ سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا
17I will exhaust him increasingly.
﴿١٨﴾ إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
18He thought and analyzed.
﴿١٩﴾ فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
19May he perish, how he analyzed.
﴿٢٠﴾ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
20Again: may he perish, how he analyzed.
﴿٢١﴾ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
21Then he looked.
﴿٢٢﴾ ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
22Then he frowned and whined.
﴿٢٣﴾ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ
23Then he turned his back and was proud.
﴿٢٤﴾ فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
24And said, “This is nothing but magic from the past.
﴿٢٥﴾ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ
25This is nothing but the word of a human being.”
﴿٢٦﴾ سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
26I will roast him in Saqar.
﴿٢٧﴾ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ
27But what will explain to you what Saqar is?
﴿٢٨﴾ لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
28It neither leaves nor spares.
﴿٢٩﴾ لَوَّاحَةٌ لِلْبَشَرِ
29It scorches the skin.
﴿٣٠﴾ عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
30Over it are Nineteen.
﴿٣١﴾ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
31We have appointed none but angels as wardens of the Fire; and We caused their number to be a stumbling block for those who disbelieve; so that those given the Scripture may attain certainty; and those who believe may increase in faith; and those given the Scripture and the believers may not doubt; and those in whose hearts is sickness and the unbelievers may say, “What did Allah intend by this parable?” Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills, and He guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. And it is but a reminder to the humans.
﴿٣٢﴾ كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ
32But no! By the moon.
﴿٣٣﴾ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
33And the night as it retreats.
﴿٣٤﴾ وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ
34And the morning as it brightens.
﴿٣٥﴾ إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ
35It is one of the greatest.
﴿٣٦﴾ نَذِيرًا لِلْبَشَرِ
36A warning to humans.
﴿٣٧﴾ لِمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
37To those among you who wish to advance, or lag behind.
﴿٣٨﴾ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
38Every soul is hostage to what it has done.
﴿٣٩﴾ إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ
39Except for those on the Right.
﴿٤٠﴾ فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
40In Gardens, asking one another.
﴿٤١﴾ عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
41About the guilty.
﴿٤٢﴾ مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
42“What led you into Saqar?”
﴿٤٣﴾ قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
43They will say, “We were not of those who prayed.
﴿٤٤﴾ وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
44Nor did we feed the poor.
﴿٤٥﴾ وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
45And we used to indulge with those who indulge.
﴿٤٦﴾ وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
46And we used to deny Judgement Day.
﴿٤٧﴾ حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
47Until certainty came upon us.”
﴿٤٨﴾ فَمَا تَنْفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ
48But the intercession of intercessors will not benefit them.
﴿٤٩﴾ فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
49So what is the matter with them, turning away from the Reminder?
﴿٥٠﴾ كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُسْتَنْفِرَةٌ
50As if they were panicked donkeys.
﴿٥١﴾ فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ
51Fleeing from a lion.
﴿٥٢﴾ بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُنَشَّرَةً
52Yet every one of them wants to be given scrolls unrolled.
﴿٥٣﴾ كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
53No indeed! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
﴿٥٤﴾ كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ
54Nevertheless, it is a reminder.
﴿٥٥﴾ فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
55So whoever wills, shall remember it.
﴿٥٦﴾ وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
56But they will not remember—unless Allah wills. He is the Source of Righteousness and the Source of Forgiveness.
