آية: 1

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُدَّثِّرُ

O you covered [in your cloak]^[1],

[1] It refers to the Prophet (ﷺ).

آية: 2

قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ

arise and warn,

آية: 3

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ

and proclaim the greatness of your Lord,

آية: 4

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡ

and purify your garments,

آية: 5

وَٱلرُّجۡزَ فَٱهۡجُرۡ

and shun idol worshiping^[2],

[2] And other sins and bad conducts and morals.

آية: 6

وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ

and do not do a favor for a greater return^[3],

[3] Or: do not consider your good deeds as a favor to Allah, thinking of your little deeds as abundant.

آية: 7

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصۡبِرۡ

and be patient for the sake of your Lord.

آية: 8

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ

When the Trumpet is sounded^[4],

[4] For the second time, causing all to rise from the dead for resurrection. See 39:68.

آية: 9

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَوۡمٌ عَسِيرٌ

that Day will be a difficult day,

آية: 10

عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرٖ

not easy for the disbelievers.

آية: 11

ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا

Leave me to deal with the one whom I created lonely^[5],

[5] i.e., having no wealth or children. It refers to al-Walīd bin al-Mughīrah, who was impressed by the Qur’an, yet he publicly denied it to win the approval of the pagans of Makkah.

آية: 12

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا

and gave him abundant wealth,

آية: 13

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا

and sons by his side,

آية: 14

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا

and gave him a life of comfort and power,

آية: 15

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ

yet he aspires that I should give him more.

آية: 16

كَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا

By no means! For he has been stubborn against Our verses.

آية: 17

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

I will subject him to an unbearable punishment.

آية: 18

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

For he reflected and plotted [against the Qur’an]^[6].

[6] In order to discredit it.

آية: 19

فَقُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

May he perish, how he plotted!

آية: 20

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ

Again, may he perish, how he plotted!

آية: 21

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

Then he looked around,

آية: 22

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

then he frowned and scowled,

آية: 23

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ

then turned away with arrogance,

آية: 24

فَقَالَ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ يُؤۡثَرُ

then said, “This is nothing but magic from the past.

آية: 25

إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوۡلُ ٱلۡبَشَرِ

This is nothing but the words of a man.”

آية: 26

سَأُصۡلِيهِ سَقَرَ

Soon I will make him burn in the Scorching Fire^[7].

[7] "Saqar" is one of the names of Hell.

آية: 27

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

How do you know what Scorching Fire is?

آية: 28

لَا تُبۡقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ

It leaves nothing and spares no one,

آية: 29

لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلۡبَشَرِ

scorching the skin.

آية: 30

عَلَيۡهَا تِسۡعَةَ عَشَرَ

It is overseen by nineteen [angels].

آية: 31

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ

We have only appointed angels as keepers of the Fire, and We have only made their number as a test for the disbelievers^[8], so that those who were given the Scripture may have certainty and the believers may increase in faith; and neither those who were given the Scripture nor the believers may have any doubts; and so that those [hypocrites] in whose hearts is sickness and the disbelievers may say, “What does Allah mean by this number?” Thus Allah causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills, and none knows the soldiers of your Lord but He. This is but a reminder to mankind.

[8] To say what they want to say, so their punishment will be multiplied for them. Abu Jahl, one of the chief pagans in Makkah, made fun of the Prophet (ﷺ) when they came to know that the keepers of Hell are nineteen angels, so he ridiculed this number and said that it is an easy number to overcome.

آية: 32

كَلَّا وَٱلۡقَمَرِ

No indeed! By the moon,

آية: 33

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذۡ أَدۡبَرَ

and by the night when it departs,

آية: 34

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَآ أَسۡفَرَ

and by the dawn when it brightens,

آية: 35

إِنَّهَا لَإِحۡدَى ٱلۡكُبَرِ

Hellfire is indeed one of the greatest matters,

آية: 36

نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ

a warning to mankind,

آية: 37

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوۡ يَتَأَخَّرَ

to whoever among you chooses to advance or regress.

آية: 38

كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡ رَهِينَةٌ

Every soul is held in pledge^[9] for its deeds,

[9] i.e., held responsible.

آية: 39

إِلَّآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ

except the People of the Right^[10],

[10] i.e., the believers who receive their records of deeds in their right hands.

آية: 40

فِي جَنَّٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

who will be in gardens, asking one another

آية: 41

عَنِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

about the wicked:

آية: 42

مَا سَلَكَكُمۡ فِي سَقَرَ

“What brought you to Hell?”

آية: 43

قَالُواْ لَمۡ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ

They will say, “We were not among those who prayed,

آية: 44

وَلَمۡ نَكُ نُطۡعِمُ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ

nor did we feed the poor,

آية: 45

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلۡخَآئِضِينَ

and we indulged in falsehood along with those who indulged in it,

آية: 46

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

and we denied the Day of Judgment,

آية: 47

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ

until the certainty [of death] came to us.”

آية: 48

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ

So the intercession of intercessors will not benefit them.

آية: 49

فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ

Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from the Reminder,

آية: 50

كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ

as if they were terrified wild asses,

آية: 51

فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ

fleeing from a lion?

آية: 52

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ

In fact, each one of them desires that open [divine] letters be sent to each of them^[11].

[11] Instead of Muhammad (ﷺ), not due to the lack of proofs or signs presented to them but out of obstinacy and arrogance.

آية: 53

كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ

By no means! They rather do not fear the Hereafter.

آية: 54

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ

No indeed! This [Qur’an] is a reminder.

آية: 55

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

So whoever wills may take heed.

آية: 56

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ

But they will not take heed unless Allah so wills. He is most worthy to be feared and most worthy to forgive.
