Al-Muzzammil

Ya ayyuha Al-Muzzammil

O thou folded in garments!

Koo mee Al-layl illa kaleelan

Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,-

nisfahu awi Unkooth minhu kaleelan

Half of it,- or a little less,

ow Zed alayhi Varatil Quran tarteelan

Or a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones.

sano-lkee alayka qawlän thaqeelan

Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.

Inna nashieta Al-layl heya a-shed-doo watha wa aqwamu Keelá

Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).

Inna laka fay An-nahari sabhan tauil

True, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties:

Wazkuri Ism Rab-bik wa tabattal ilayhi tabtiylen

But keep in remembrance the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him whole-heartedly.

Rabb Al-Mashriqi Wal-Maghribi La Ilah illa hu fatahidh Wakeel

(He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs.

wasbir Ala ma yaquloon Wahjurhum hajra Jameel

And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity).

Vadharni Wal mukadhibeen ooli An-na'mati wamahhilhum kaleelan

And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while.

Inna ladhejna ankalan Wajahiim

With Us are Fetters (to bind them), and a Fire (to burn them),

Weta'amana za gus-sah wa'azaban aleem

And a Food that chokes, and a Penalty Grievous.

yaum tarjufu Al-ard Wal-jibalu vakaanet Al-jibaalu katheeban mahilan

One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion. And the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down.

Inna arselna Ilejkum rasoolan shahidan alaykum kamā arselna ila Fir'awn rasoolan

We have sent to you, (O men!) a messenger, to be a witness concerning you, even as We sent a messenger to Pharaoh.

fa'asi Pharaoh Ar-rasool Fa-akhazhna akhzan Wabeelan

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger; so We seized him with a heavy Punishment.

Fak-yaf tattakoun in kefertum yawman yaj'alu Al-wel-da faith nuh sheyban

Then how shall ye, if ye deny (Allah), guard yourselves against a Day that will make children hoary-headed?-

As-samaa munfatiru kana wa'duhu maf'oolan

Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be accomplished.

Inna hathihi faman shaa ittakhatha ila sabeelan

Verily this is an Admonition: therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to his Lord!

Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
