Surah Al-Muddathir in the Qaloun Recitation

يَٰأَيُّهَا اَ۬لْمُدَّثِّرُ﴿1﴾

O you who covers himself [with a garment],

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْۖ﴿2﴾

Arise and warn.

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْۖ﴿3﴾

And your Lord glorify.

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْۖ﴿4﴾

And your clothing purify.

وَالرِّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْۖ﴿5﴾

And uncleanliness avoid.

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُۖ﴿6﴾

And do not confer favor to acquire more .

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْۖ﴿7﴾

But for your Lord be patient.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِے اِ۬لنَّاقُورِ﴿8﴾

And when the trumpet is blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٖ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ﴿9﴾

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى اَ۬لْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٖۖ﴿10﴾

For the disbelievers - not easy.

ذَرْنِے وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيداٗ﴿11﴾

Leave Me with the one I created alone

وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالاٗ مَّمْدُوداٗ﴿12﴾

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُوداٗ﴿13﴾

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيداٗ﴿14﴾

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

ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ﴿15﴾

Then he desires that I should add more.

كَلَّاۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيداٗۖ﴿16﴾

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

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُوداًۖ﴿17﴾

I will cover him with arduous torment.

إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ﴿18﴾

Indeed, he thought and deliberated.

فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ﴿19﴾

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

ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ﴿20﴾

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

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ﴿21﴾

Then he considered [again];

ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ﴿22﴾

Then he frowned and scowled;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ﴿23﴾

Then he turned back and was arrogant

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٞ يُؤْثَرُ﴿24﴾

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

إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ اُ۬لْبَشَرِۖ﴿25﴾

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

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَۖ﴿26﴾

I will drive him into Saqar.

وَمَا أَدْرَيٰكَ مَا سَقَرُۖ﴿27﴾

And what can make you know what is Saqar?

لَا تُبْقِے وَلَا تَذَرُۖ﴿28﴾

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

لَوَّاحَةٞ لِّلْبَشَرِۖ﴿29﴾

Altering [i.e., blackening] the skins.

عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَۖ﴿30﴾

Over it are nineteen [angels].

۞ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَٰبَ اَ۬لنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةٗ لِّلذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ اَ۬لذِينَ أُوتُواْ اُ۬لْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِيمَٰناٗ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ اَ۬لذِينَ أُوتُواْ اُ۬لْكِتَٰبَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ اَ۬لذِينَ فِے قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَالْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اَ۬للَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلاٗۖ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اُ۬للَّهُ مَنْ يَّشَآءُ وَيَهْدِے مَنْ يَّشَآءُۖ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِۖ﴿31﴾

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ﴿32﴾

No! By the moon.

وَاليْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ﴿33﴾

And [by] the night when it departs.

وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ﴿34﴾

And [by] the morning when it brightens,

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى اَ۬لْكُبَرِ﴿35﴾

Indeed, it [i.e., the Fire] is of the greatest [afflictions].

نَذِيراٗ لِّلْبَشَرِ﴿36﴾

As a warning to humanity -

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَنْ يَّتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَۖ﴿37﴾

To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

كُلُّ نَفْسِۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ﴿38﴾

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained .

إِلَّا أَصْحَٰبَ اَ۬لْيَمِينِۖ﴿39﴾

Except the companions of the right, .

فِے جَنَّٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ عَنِ اِ۬لْمُجْرِمِينَ﴿40﴾

[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other About the criminals,

مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِے سَقَرَۖ﴿41﴾

[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

قَالُواْ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ اَ۬لْمُصَلِّينَ﴿42﴾

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,

وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ اُ۬لْمِسْكِينَ﴿43﴾

Nor did we used to feed the poor.

وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ اَ۬لْخَآئِضِينَ﴿44﴾

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ اِ۬لدِّينِ﴿45﴾

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰ أَتَيٰنَا اَ۬لْيَقِينُۖ﴿46﴾

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ اُ۬لشَّٰفِعِينَۖ﴿47﴾

So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.

فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ اِ۬لتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ﴿48﴾

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away.

كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٞ مُّسْتَنفَرَةٞ﴿49﴾

As if they were alarmed donkeys.

فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةِۢۖ﴿50﴾

Fleeing from a lion?

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ اُ۪مْرِےٕٖ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ يُّؤْتَىٰ صُحُفاٗ مُّنَشَّرَةٗۖ﴿51﴾

Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

كَلَّا بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ اَ۬لْأٓخِرَةَۖ﴿52﴾

No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

كَلَّا إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٞۖ﴿53﴾

No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder.

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥۖ﴿54﴾

Then whoever wills will remember it.

وَمَا تَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَّشَآءَ اَ۬للَّهُۖ هُوَ أَهْلُ اُ۬لتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ اُ۬لْمَغْفِرَةِۖ﴿55﴾

And they will not remember except that Allāh wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
