١
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ
٢
قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا
٣
نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا
٤
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا
O Prophet, you who wrap yourself in your clothes, stand at night in prayer except a little: half of it, a little less, or a little more. And recite the Quran slowly and clearly, letter by letter.
٥
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًۭا ثَقِيلًا
٦
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًۭٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا
٧
إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًۭا طَوِيلًۭا
O Prophet, We will send down to you a great Quran full of commands and rulings. Worship at night touches the heart more deeply, because the heart is free from the day's busy work, and in the day you have much to do.
٨
وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًۭا
٩
رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًۭا
Remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him fully in your worship. He is the Lord of the East and the West; there is no god but Him, so rely on Him in all your affairs.
١٠
وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًۭا جَمِيلًۭا
١١
وَذَرْنِى وَٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُو۟لِى ٱلنَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا
Be patient with what the idolaters say, and keep away from them in a gracious way, without taking revenge. Leave Me to deal with the deniers who live in comfort, and give them a little time.
١٢
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَآ أَنكَالًۭا وَجَحِيمًۭا
١٣
وَطَعَامًۭا ذَا غُصَّةٍۢ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا
١٤
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًۭا مَّهِيلًا
With Allah, for the deniers in the Hereafter, are heavy shackles and a Fire, food that sticks in the throat, and a painful punishment. That is on the Day the earth and the mountains shake, and the mountains become heaps of scattered sand.
١٥
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًۭا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًۭا
١٦
فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ أَخْذًۭا وَبِيلًۭا
We sent to you, people of Makkah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, as a messenger and a witness over you, just as We sent Moses, peace be upon him, to Pharaoh. Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We destroyed him severely.
١٧
فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًۭا يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوِلْدَٰنَ شِيبًا
١٨
ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرٌۢ بِهِۦ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَفْعُولًا
١٩
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا
If you disbelieve, how will you protect yourselves from a Day so hard that it turns children's hair white? The sky will split apart on it, and Allah's promise will surely come. These verses are a reminder, so whoever wills may take a path to his Lord.
٢٠
۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَىِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍۢ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًۭا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًۭا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۢ
Your Lord knows you stand less than two thirds of the night, sometimes half, sometimes a third, with a group of your companions. He knew you could not stand all of it, so He made it lighter for you. So recite what is easy of the Quran, pray, give zakat, and ask Allah's forgiveness.
