Surah The cloaked one [Al-Muddathir] Ayah 56 Location Maccah Number 74

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ ﴿١﴾

O you enveloped in garments!

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ﴿٢﴾

Arise and warn!

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ﴿٣﴾

And magnify your Lord!

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ﴿٤﴾

And purify your garments!

وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ ﴿٥﴾

And keep away from Ar-Rujz!

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ﴿٦﴾

And give not a thing in order to have more.

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ ﴿٧﴾

And be patient for the sake of your Lord!

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ ﴿٨﴾

Then, when the Naqur is sounded.

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ﴿٩﴾

Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day.

عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ ﴿١٠﴾

Far from easy for the disbelievers.

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا ﴿١١﴾

Leave Me alone (to deal) with whom I created lonely.

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا ﴿١٢﴾

And then granted him resources in abundance.

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا ﴿١٣﴾

And children attending.

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا ﴿١٤﴾

And made life smooth and comfortable for him.

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ﴿١٥﴾

After all that he desires that I should give more.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا ﴿١٦﴾

Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat.

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ﴿١٧﴾

I shall force him to Sa`ud!

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ﴿١٨﴾

Verily, he thought and plotted.

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿١٩﴾

So let him be cursed, how he plotted!

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿٢٠﴾

And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted!

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ﴿٢١﴾

Then he thought.

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ﴿٢٢﴾

Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ ﴿٢٣﴾

Then he turned back, and was proud.

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ ﴿٢٤﴾

Then he said: \"This is nothing but magic from that of old,

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ ﴿٢٥﴾

\"This is nothing but the word of a human being!\"

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ﴿٢٦﴾

I will cast him into Saqar.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ ﴿٢٧﴾

And what will make you know (exactly) what Saqar is

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ ﴿٢٨﴾

It spares not, nor does it leave (anything)!

لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ ﴿٢٩﴾

Scorching for the humans!

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ﴿٣٠﴾

Over it are nineteen.

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ ﴿٣١﴾

And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the People of the Scripture may arrive at a certainty and that the believers may increase in faith, and that no doubt may be left for the People of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say: \"What does Allah intend by this example\" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this is nothing but a reminder to mankind.

كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ ﴿٣٢﴾

Nay! And by the moon.

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ ﴿٣٣﴾

And by the night when it withdraws.

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ ﴿٣٤﴾

And by the dawn when it brightens.

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ ﴿٣٥﴾

Verily, it is but one of the greatest (signs).

نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ ﴿٣٦﴾

A warning to mankind

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ ﴿٣٧﴾

To any of you that chooses to go forward, or to remain behind.

كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ ﴿٣٨﴾

Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,

إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ ﴿٣٩﴾

Except those on the Right.

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾

In Gardens they will ask one another,

عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿٤١﴾

About criminals (and they will say to them):

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ ﴿٤٢﴾

\"What has caused you to enter Hell\"

قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ﴿٤٣﴾

They will say: \"We were not of those who used to offer the Salah,\"

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾

\"Nor did we feed the poor;\"

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

\"And we used to speak falsehood with vain speakers.\"

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٤٦﴾

\"And we used to deny the Day of Recompense,\"

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ ﴿٤٧﴾

\"Until Al-Yaqin came to us.\"

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ﴿٤٨﴾

So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾

Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ ﴿٥٠﴾

As if they were wild donkeys.

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ ﴿٥١﴾

Fleeing from a Qaswarah.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ ﴿٥٢﴾

Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out.

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ﴿٥٣﴾

Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ﴿٥٤﴾

Nay, verily, this is an admonition.

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿٥٥﴾

So, whosoever wills receives admonition from it!

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

And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He is the One, deserving of the Taqwa and He is the One Who forgives.
