Al-Muddaththir · The Cloaked One

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ

O you who covers himself [with a garment],

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ

Arise and warn

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ

And your Lord glorify

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ

And your clothing purify

وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ

And uncleanliness avoid

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ

And do not confer favor to acquire more

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ

But for your Lord be patient.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ

And when the trumpet is blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ

For the disbelievers - not easy.

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا

Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًا

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ

Then he desires that I should add more.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

I will cover him with arduous torment.

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ

And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

This is not but the word of a human being."

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ

I will drive him into Saqar.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ

Blackening the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

Over it are nineteen [angels].
