Sura 73, Al-Muzzammil (The Enshrouded One)
In (the) name
(of) Allah,
the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
O you
who wraps himself!
Stand
(in) the night,
except
a little,
Half of it,
or
lessen
from it
a little,
Or
add
to it,
and recite
the Quran
(with) measured rhythmic recitation.
Indeed, We
will cast
upon you
a Word
heavy.
Indeed,
(the) rising
(at) the night,
it
(is) very hard
and most potent
and more suitable
(for) Word.
Indeed,
for you
in
the day
(is) occupation
prolonged.
And remember
(the) name
(of) your Lord
and devote yourself
to Him
(with) devotion.
(The) Lord
(of) the east
and the west;
(there is) no
god
except
Him,
so take Him
(as) Disposer of Affairs.
And be patient
over
what
they say,
and avoid them,
an avoidance
gracious.
And leave Me
and the deniers,
possessors
(of) the ease,
and allow them respite -
a little.
Indeed,
with Us
(are) shackles
and burning fire,
And food
that
chokes
and a punishment
painful.
(On the) Day
will quake
the earth
and the mountains,
and will become
the mountains
a heap of sand
pouring down.
Indeed, We
[We] have sent
to you
a Messenger
(as) a witness
upon you,
as
We sent
to
Firaun
a Messenger.
But disobeyed
Firaun
the Messenger,
so We seized him
(with) a seizure
ruinous.
Then how
will you guard yourselves,
if
you disbelieve,
a Day
(that) will make
the children
gray-haired?
The heaven
(will) break apart
therefrom,
is
His Promise
to be fulfilled.
Indeed,
this
(is) a Reminder,
then whoever
wills
(let him) take
to
his Lord
a way.
Indeed,
your Lord
knows
that you
stand
(a little) less
than
two-thirds
(of) the night,
and half of it
and a third of it
and (so do) a group
of
those who
(are) with you.
And Allah
determines
the night
and the day.
He knows
that
not
you count it,
so He has turned
to you,
so recite
what
is easy
of
the Quran.
He knows
that
there will be
among you
sick
and others
traveling
in
the land
seeking
of
(the) Bounty
(of) Allah,
and others
fighting
in
(the) way
(of) Allah.
So recite
what
is easy
of it,
and establish
the prayer
and give
the zakah
and loan
Allah
a loan
goodly.
And whatever
you send forth
for yourselves
of
good,
you will find it
with
Allah.
It
(will be) better
and greater
(in) reward.
And seek forgiveness
(of) Allah.
Indeed,
Allah
(is) Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.
