يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ
Ya aiyuhal muzzammil
1. O you who wraps himself [in clothing],
قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
Qumil laila illaa qaleelaa
2. Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little –
نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلً
Nisfahooo awinqus minhu qaleelaa
3. Half of it – or subtract from it a little
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلً
Aw zid ‘alaihi wa rattilil Qur’aana tarteela
4. Or add to it, and recite the Qur’an with measured recitation.
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلً
Innaa sanulqee ‘alaika qawalan saqeelaa
5. Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا
Inn naashi’atal laili hiya ashadddu wat anw wa aqwamu qeelaa
6. Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.
إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلً
Inna laka fin nahaari sabhan taweelaa
7. Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.
وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلً
Wazkuris ma rabbika wa tabattal ilaihi tabteelaa
8. And remember the name of your Rab and devote(engage)yourself to Him(Ilaihi) with devotion.
رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا
Rabbul mashriqi wal maghriibi laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa fattakhizhu wakeelaa
9. Rab is of the East and the West; there is no Ilaihi (deity) except Him, so take Him as manager of [your] affairs.
وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا
Wasbir ‘alaa maa yaqoo loona wahjurhum hajran jameelaa
10. And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.
وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلً
Wa zarnee walmukaz zibeena ulin na’mati wa mahhilhum qaleelaa
11. And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little.
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنْكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا
Inna ladainaaa ankaalanw wa jaheemaa
12. Indeed, with Us are shackles and burning fire [for them]
وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
Wa ta’aaman zaa ghussa tinw wa’azaaban aleemaa
13. And food that chokes and a painful punishment –
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَهِيلًا
Yawma tarjuful ardu waljibaalu wa kaanatil jibaalu kaseebam maheelaa
14. On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولً
Innaa arsalnaaa ilaikum rasoolan shahidan ‘alikum kamaaa arsalnaaa ilaa Fir’awna Rasoolan
15. Indeed, We have sent to you a Rasool as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.
فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلً
Fa’asaa Fir’awnur Rasoola fa akhaznaahu akhzanw wabeelaa
16. But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا
Fakaifa tattaqoona in kafartum yawmany yaj’alul wildaana sheeba
17. Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white- haired?
السَّمَاءُ مُنفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا
Assamaaa’u munfatirum bih; kaana wa’duhoo maf’oola
18. The heaven(Assaman) will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.
إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا
Inna haazihee tazkiratun fa man shaaa’at takhaza ilaa Rabbihee sabeelaa
19. Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Rab a way.
۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِّنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Inna Rabbaka ya’lamu annaka taqoomu adnaa min sulusa yil laili wa nisfahoo wa sulusahoo wa taaa’ifatum minal lazeena ma’ak; wal laahu yuqaddirul laila wanna haar; ‘alima al lan tuhsoohu fataaba ‘alaikum faqra’oo maa tayassara minal quraan;
‘alima an sa yakoonu minkum mardaa wa aakharoona yadriboona fil ardi yabtaghoona min fadlil laahi wa aakharoona yuqaatiloona fee sabeelil laahi faqra’oo ma tayassara minhu wa aqeemus salaata wa aatuz zakaata wa aqridul laaha qardan hasanaa;
wa maa tuqadimoo li anfusikum min khairin tajidoohu ‘indal laahi huwa khayranw wa a’zama ajraa;
wastaghfirul laahaa innal laaha ghafoorur raheem.
20. Indeed, your Rab knows, that you (Muhammad) stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’an.
He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah . So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan.
And whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah . It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah .
Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
