Surah Al-Muddaththir

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ

O THOU [in thy solitude] enfolded!

قُمْفَأَنذِرْ

Arise and warn!

وَرَبَّكَفَكَبِّرْ

And thy Sustainer's greatness glorify!

وَثِيَابَكَفَطَهِّرْ

And thine inner self purify!

وَٱلرُّجْزَفَٱهْجُرْ

And all defilement shun!

وَلَاتَمْنُنتَسْتَكْثِرُ

And do not through giving seek thyself to gain,

وَلِرَبِّكَفَٱصْبِرْ

but unto thy Sustainer turn in patience.

فَإِذَانُقِرَفِىٱلنَّاقُورِ

And [warn all men that] when the trumpet-call [of resurrection] is sounded,

فَذَٰلِكَيَوْمَئِذٍۢيَوْمٌعَسِيرٌ

that very Day shall be a day of anguish,

عَلَىٱلْكَٰفِرِينَغَيْرُيَسِيرٍۢ

not of ease, for all who [now] deny the truth!

ذَرْنِىوَمَنْخَلَقْتُوَحِيدًۭا

LEAVE Me alone [to deal] with him whom I have created alone,

وَجَعَلْتُلَهُۥمَالًۭامَّمْدُودًۭا

and to whom I have granted resources vast,

وَبَنِينَشُهُودًۭا

and children as [love's] witnesses,

وَمَهَّدتُّلَهُۥتَمْهِيدًۭا

and to whose life I gave so wide a scope:

ثُمَّيَطْمَعُأَنْأَزِيدَ

and yet, he greedily desires that I give yet more!

كَلَّآإِنَّهُۥكَانَلِءَايَٰتِنَاعَنِيدًۭا

Nay, verily, it is against Our messages that he knowingly, stubbornly sets himself

سَأُرْهِقُهُۥصَعُودًا

[and so] I shall constrain him to endure a painful uphill climb!

إِنَّهُۥفَكَّرَوَقَدَّرَ

Behold, [when Our messages are conveyed to one who is bent on denying the truth,] he reflects and meditates [as to how to disprove them] –

فَقُتِلَكَيْفَقَدَّرَ

and thus he destroys himself, the way he meditates:

ثُمَّقُتِلَكَيْفَقَدَّرَ

yea, he destroys himself, the way he meditates!
