74. Al-Muddaththir

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ ۝١

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الۡمُدَّثِّرُۙ‏ ۝١

74:1 O you, enveloped in a mantle,

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ۝٢

قُمۡ فَاَنۡذِرۡۙ‏ ۝٢

74:2 stand up and warn,

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ۝٣

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡۙ‏ ۝٣

74:3 and pronounce the greatness of your Lord,

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ۝٤

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡۙ‏ ۝٤

74:4 and purify your clothes,

وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ ۝٥

وَالرُّجۡزَ فَاهۡجُرۡۙ‏ ۝٥

74:5 and keep away from filth,

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ۝٦

وَلَا تَمۡنُنۡ تَسۡتَكۡثِرُۙ‏ ۝٦

74:6 and do not do a favour (to anyone merely) to seek more (in return).

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ ۝٧

وَ لِرَبِّكَ فَاصۡبِرۡؕ‏ ۝٧

74:7 And for the sake of your Lord, observe patience.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ ۝٨

فَاِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُوۡرِۙ‏ ۝٨

74:8 For when the trumpet will be blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ۝٩

فَذٰلِكَ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ يَّوۡمٌ عَسِيۡرٌۙ‏ ۝٩

74:9 that day will be a difficult day,

عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ۝١٠

عَلَى الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيۡرٍ‏ ۝١٠

74:10 not easy for the disbelievers.

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا ۝١١

ذَرۡنِىۡ وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيۡدًا ۙ‏ ۝١١

74:11 Leave me alone (to deal) with the one whom I created lonely,

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا ۝١٢

وَّجَعَلۡتُ لَهٗ مَالًا مَّمۡدُوۡدًا ۙ‏ ۝١٢

74:12 and gave him extensive wealth,

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا ۝١٣

وَّبَنِيۡنَ شُهُوۡدًا ۙ‏ ۝١٣

74:13 and sons present before (his) eyes,

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًا ۝١٤

وَّمَهَّدتُّ لَهٗ تَمۡهِيۡدًا ۙ‏ ۝١٤

74:14 and extended (power and honour) to him pretty well.

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ۝١٥

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ اَنۡ اَزِيۡدَ  ۙ‏ ۝١٥

74:15 Still, he aspires that I should give him more.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا ۝١٦

كَلَّا ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ لِاٰيٰتِنَا عَنِيۡدًا ؕ‏ ۝١٦

74:16 Never! He is inimical towards Our verses.

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ۝١٧

سَاُرۡهِقُهٗ صَعُوۡدًا ؕ‏ ۝١٧

74:17 I will force him to climb the mountain Sa‘ūd.

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ۝١٨

اِنَّهٗ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَۙ‏ ۝١٨

74:18 He pondered and surmised.

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ۝١٩

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَۙ‏ ۝١٩

74:19 Death onto him! How (bad) is the surmise he put forward!

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ۝٢٠

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَۙ‏ ۝٢٠

74:20 Again, death unto him! How (bad) is the surmise he put forward!

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ۝٢١

ثُمَّ نَظَرَۙ‏ ۝٢١

74:21 Then he looked (to those around him,)

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ۝٢٢

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَۙ‏ ۝٢٢

74:22 then he frowned and scowled,

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ ۝٢٣

ثُمَّ اَدۡبَرَ وَاسۡتَكۡبَرَۙ‏ ۝٢٣

74:23 then turned his back, and waxed proud,

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ ۝٢٤

فَقَالَ اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ يُّؤۡثَرُۙ‏ ۝٢٤

74:24 then said, “This is nothing but traditional magic;

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ ۝٢٥

اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا قَوۡلُ الۡبَشَرِؕ‏ ۝٢٥

74:25 this is nothing but saying of a mortal.”

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ۝٢٦

سَاُصۡلِيۡهِ سَقَرَ‏ ۝٢٦

74:26 I will put him into Saqar (Hell).

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ ۝٢٧

وَمَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكَ مَا سَقَرُؕ‏ ۝٢٧

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

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ ۝٢٨

لَا تُبۡقِىۡ وَ لَا تَذَرُ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٨

74:28 It neither spares (anything inside it from burning) nor leaves (any disbeliever outside).

لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ ۝٢٩

لَـوَّاحَةٌ لِّلۡبَشَرِ​ۖ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٩

74:29 It will disfigure the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ۝٣٠

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَؕ‏ ۝٣٠

74:30 Appointed on it are nineteen (wardens).

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ ۝٣١

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَاۤ اَصۡحٰبَ النَّارِ اِلَّا مَلٰٓٮِٕكَةً​ وَّمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ اِلَّا فِتۡنَةً لِّلَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا ۙ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِيۡمَانًا​ وَّلَا يَرۡتَابَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ​ۙ وَلِيَقُوۡلَ الَّذِيۡنَ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ مَّرَضٌ وَّالۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ مَاذَاۤ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِهٰذَا مَثَلًا ​ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِىۡ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ​ؕ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُوۡدَ رَبِّكَ اِلَّا هُوَ ​ؕ وَمَا هِىَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٰى لِلۡبَشَرِ‏ ۝٣١

74:31 And We did not make wardens of the Fire but (from) angels, and did not fix their number but as a test for those who disbelieve, so that those who are given the Book may come to believe, and those who believe may improve in belief, and so that those who are given the Book and those who believe may not doubt (its correctness), and so that those having malady in their hearts and the disbelievers say, “What has Allah meant by this strange statement?” Thus Allah lets go astray whomever He wills, and leads to the right path whomever He wills. And no one knows the hosts of your Lord but He. And this is nothing else but a reminder for mankind.

كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ ۝٣٢

كَلَّا وَالۡقَمَرِۙ‏ ۝٣٢

74:32 Truly, I swear by the moon,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ۝٣٣

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذۡ اَدۡبَرَۙ‏ ۝٣٣

74:33 and by the night when it goes back,

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ ۝٣٤

وَالصُّبۡحِ اِذَاۤ اَسۡفَرَۙ‏ ۝٣٤

74:34 and by the morning when it becomes bright,

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ ۝٣٥

اِنَّهَا لَاِحۡدَى الۡكُبَرِۙ‏ ۝٣٥

74:35 it (Saqar : Hell) is one of the greatest things

نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ ۝٣٦

نَذِيۡرًا لِّلۡبَشَرِۙ‏ ۝٣٦

74:36 as a warning to the mankind,

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ۝٣٧

لِمَنۡ شَآءَ مِنۡكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّتَقَدَّمَ اَوۡ يَتَاَخَّرَؕ‏ ۝٣٧

74:37 to the one from among you who wishes to come forward (towards good deeds) or to go back (from them).

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ۝٣٨

كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ ۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِيۡنَةٌ ۙ‏ ۝٣٨

74:38 Everyone will be detained (in the Hell) because of what he did,

إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٣٩

اِلَّاۤ اَصۡحٰبَ الۡيَمِيۡنِۛ ؕ‏ ۝٣٩

74:39 except the People of the Right, (i.e. those who will be given their Book of Deeds in their right hands)

فِى جَنَّٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٤٠

فِىۡ جَنّٰتٍ ۛ يَتَسَآءَلُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٠

74:40 who will be in gardens, asking

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝٤١

عَنِ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤١

74:41 about the guilty persons,

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ ۝٤٢

مَا سَلَـكَكُمۡ فِىۡ سَقَرَ‏ ۝٤٢

74:42 “What has brought you to Saqar? (Hell)”

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝٤٣

قَالُوۡا لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ الۡمُصَلِّيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٣

74:43 They will say, “We were not among those who offered Salāh , (obligatory prayer)

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ ۝٤٤

وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٤

74:44 and we did not give food to the needy,

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ ۝٤٥

وَكُنَّا نَخُوۡضُ مَعَ الۡخَـآٮِٕضِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٥

74:45 and we indulged (in mocking at the truth) along with those who indulged,

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٤٦

وَ كُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِۙ‏ ۝٤٦

74:46 and we used to deny the Day of Requital,

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ ۝٤٧

حَتّٰٓى اَتٰٮنَا الۡيَقِيۡنُؕ‏ ۝٤٧

74:47 until when we were overtaken by that which is certain.”

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ۝٤٨

فَمَا تَنۡفَعُهُمۡ شَفَاعَةُ الشّٰفِعِيۡنَؕ‏ ۝٤٨

74:48 Then intercession of intercessors will not benefit them.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ ۝٤٩

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ التَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِيۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤٩

74:49 So what has happened to them that they are turning away from the Reminder,

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ ۝٥٠

كَاَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٌ مُّسۡتَنۡفِرَةٌ ۙ‏ ۝٥٠

74:50 as if they were wild donkeys,

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ ۝٥١

فَرَّتۡ مِنۡ قَسۡوَرَةٍ ؕ‏ ۝٥١

74:51 fleeing from a lion?

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً ۝٥٢

بَلۡ يُرِيۡدُ كُلُّ امۡرِىٴٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ اَنۡ يُّؤۡتٰى صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً ۙ‏  ۝٥٢

74:52 Rather, every one of them wishes that he should be given unrolled (divine) scriptures.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۝٥٣

كَلَّا ​ؕ بَلۡ لَّا يَخَافُوۡنَ الۡاٰخِرَةَ ؕ‏ ۝٥٣

74:53 Never! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۝٥٤

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهٗ تَذۡكِرَةٌ​ ۚ‏ ۝٥٤

74:54 Never! Indeed, this is a Reminder.

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ۝٥٥

فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗ ؕ‏ ۝٥٥

74:55 So, whoever so wishes may take advice from it.

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۝٥٦

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ​ ؕ هُوَ اَهۡلُ التَّقۡوٰى وَاَهۡلُ الۡمَغۡفِرَةِ‏ ۝٥٦

74:56 And they will not take advice unless Allah so wills. He is worthy to be feared, and worthy to forgive.
