بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ74:1
Yaaa ayyuhal muddassir
O you who covers himself [with a garment],
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ74:2
Qum fa anzir
Arise and warn
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ74:3
Wa rabbaka fakabbir
And your Lord glorify

And your clothing purify
وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ74:5
Warrujza fahjur
And uncleanliness avoid
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ74:6
Wa laa tamnun tastaksir
And do not confer favor to acquire more
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ74:7
Wa li Rabbika fasbir
But for your Lord be patient.
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ74:8

That Day will be a difficult day
عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ74:10
'Alal kaafireena ghayru yaseer
For the disbelievers - not easy.
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا74:11
Zamee wa man khalaqtu waheedaa
Leave Me with the one I created alone
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا74:12
Wa ja'altu lahoo maalam mamdoodaa
And to whom I granted extensive wealth
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا74:13
Wa baneena shuhoodaa
And children present [with him]
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا74:14
Wa mahhattu lahoo tamheeda
And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ74:15
Summa yat ma'u an azeed
Then he desires that I should add more.
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا74:16
Kallaaa innahoo kaana li Aayaatinaa 'aneedaa
No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا74:17
Sa urhiquhoo sa'oodaa
I will cover him with arduous torment.
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ74:18
Innahoo fakkara wa qaddar
Indeed, he thought and deliberated.
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ74:19
Faqutila kayfa qaddar
So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.

Summa qutila kaifa qaddar
Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated.
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ74:21
Summa nazar
Then he considered [again];
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ74:22

Then he frowned and scowled;
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ74:23

Then he turned back and was arrogant
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ74:24
Faqaala in haazaaa illaa sihruny yu'sar
And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others].
إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ74:25
In haazaaa illaa qawlul bashar
This is not but the word of a human being."
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ74:26
Sa usleehi saqar
I will drive him into Saqar.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ74:27
Wa maaa adraaka maa saqar
And what can make you know what is Saqar?
لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ74:28
Laa tubqee wa laa tazar
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ74:29
Lawwaahatul lilbashar
Blackening the skins.
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ74:30
'Alaihaa tis'ata 'ashar
Over it are nineteen [angels].
وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ74:31
Wa maaja''alnaaa As haaban naari illaa malaaa 'ikatanw wa maa ja'alnaa 'iddatahum illaa fitnatal lillazeena kafaroo liyastayqinal lazeena ootul kitaaba wa yazdaadal lazeena aamanooo eemaananw wa laa yartaabal lazeena ootul kitaaba walmu'minoona wa liyaqoolal lazeena fee quloo bihim maradunw walkaafiroona maazaaa araadal laahu bihaazaa masalaa; kazaalika yudillul laahu many yashaaa'u wa yahdee many yashaaa'; wa maa ya'lamu junooda rabbika illaa hoo; wa maa hiya illaa zikraa lil bashar
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 hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ74:32
Kallaa walqamar
No! By the moon
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ74:33
Wallaili adbar
And [by] the night when it departs
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ74:34
Wassub hi izaaa asfar
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ74:35
Innahaa la ihdal kubar
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ74:36
Nazeeral lilbashar
As a warning to humanity -
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ74:37
Liman shaaa'a minkum any yataqaddama aw yata akhkhar
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ74:38
Kullu nafsim bim kasabat raheenah
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
إِلَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ74:39
Illaaa as haabal yameen
Except the companions of the right,
فِى جَنَّـٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ74:40
Fee jannaatiny yata saaa'aloon
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ74:41
'Anil mujrimeen
About the criminals,
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ74:42
Maa salakakum fee saqar
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ74:43
Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ74:44
Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ74:45
Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ74:46
Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ74:47
Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen
Until there came to us the certainty."
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ74:48
Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ74:49
Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ74:50
Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah
As if they were alarmed donkeys
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ74:51
Farrat min qaswarah
Fleeing from a lion?
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ74:52
Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ74:53
Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ74:54
Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ74:55
Fa man shaaa'a zakarah
Then whoever wills will remember it.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ74:56
Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
