المزمل
Al-Muzzammil
The Wrapped One
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
O you who are wrapped up! Stand the night, except a little — half of it, or subtract from it a little, or add to it — and recite the Recitation with measured, distinct recitation,
يايها المزمل قم اليل الا قليلا نصفه او انقص منه قليلا او زد عليه ورتل القران ترتيلا
for We will cast upon you a heavy saying.
انا سنلقي عليك قولا ثقيلا
The rising of the night is firmer in impact and more upright in saying.
ان ناشيه اليل هي اشد وطا واقوم قيلا
You have during the day a long swim.
ان لك في النهار سبحا طويلا
And remember the name of your Guardian and give yourself over to Him, fully.
واذكر اسم ربك وتبتل اليه تبتيلا
Guardian of the rising and the setting;
رب المشرق والمغرب
there is no deity but Him;
لا اله الا هو
so take Him as a trustee.
فاتخذه وكيلا
And be patient with what they say
واصبر علي ما يقولون
and avoid them with gracious avoidance.
واهجرهم هجرا جميلا
And leave Me with the deniers, those in well-being, and grant them a little respite.
وذرني والمكذبين اولي النعمه ومهلهم قليلا
Indeed, with Us are shackles and a Blaze, and food that chokes, and a painful punishment — on the Day the earth and the mountains will quake, and the mountains will become a heap of poured-out sand.
ان لدينا انكالا وجحيما وطعاما ذا غصه وعذابا اليما يوم ترجف الارض والجبال وكانت الجبال كثيبا مهيلا
We have sent to you a messenger as a witness upon you, just as We sent to Fir'awn a messenger. But Fir'awn disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a baleful seizure.
انا ارسلنا اليكم رسولا شهدا عليكم كما ارسلنا الي فرعون رسولا فعصي فرعون الرسول فاخذنه اخذا وبيلا
Then how, if you disown, will you guard yourselves against a Day that will turn children gray-haired, a Day when the sky itself will be rent asunder?
فكيف تتقون ان كفرتم يوما يجعل الولدن شيبا السما منفطر به
His promise is always a thing done.
كان وعده مفعولا
This is a reminder.
ان هذه تذكره
So whoever wants may take, toward his Guardian, a way.
فمن شا اتخذ الي ربه سبيلا
Your Guardian knows that you stand a little less than two-thirds of the night, and of half of it, and of a third of it, as do a group of those with you.
ان ربك يعلم انك تقوم ادني من ثلثي اليل ونصفه وثلثه وطايفه من الذين معك
And God determines the night and the day.
والله يقدر اليل والنهار
He knows that you will never enumerate it, so He has turned toward you with clemency.
علم ان لن تحصوه فتاب عليكم
So read what is feasible of the Recitation.
فاقروا ما تيسر من القران
He knows that there will be among you those who are sick, and others traveling through the land seeking the favor of God, and others fighting in the way of God.
علم ان سيكون منكم مرضي واخرون يضربون في الارض يبتغون من فضل الله واخرون يقتلون في سبيل الله
So read what is feasible from it,
فاقروا ما تيسر منه
and maintain the Contact, and give pure liberality,
واقيموا الصلوه واتوا الزكوه
and make God a beautiful loan.
واقرضوا الله قرضا حسنا
And whatever good you advance for yourselves, you will find it with God, better and more immense in reward.
وما تقدموا لانفسكم من خير تجدوه عند الله هو خيرا واعظم اجرا
And ask God's forgiveness;
واستغفروا الله
for God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
ان الله غفور رحيم
