In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. O thou folded in garments!

2. Stand (to pray) by night but not all night

3. Half of it or a little less

4. Or a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow measured
rhythmic tones

5. Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message

6. Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the
soul) and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and
Praise)

7. True there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with
ordinary duties

8. But keep in remembrance the name of the Lord and devote
thyself to Him wholeheartedly

9. (He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He:
take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs

10. And have patience with what they say and leave them with
noble (dignity)

11. And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the
good things of life who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them
for a little while

12. With Us are Fetters (to bind them) and a Fire (to burn them)

13. And Food that chokes and a Penalty Grievous

14. One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent
commotion and the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out
and flowing down

15. We have sent to you (O men!) an apostle to be a witness
concerning you even as We sent an apostle to Pharaoh

16. But Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle; so We seized him with a
heavy Punishment

17. Then how shall ye if ye deny (Allah) guard yourselves against
a Day that will make children hoary-headed?

18. Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must
be accomplished

19. Verily this is an Admonition: Therefore whoso will let him
take a (straight) path to his Lord!

20. The Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh
two-thirds of the night or half the night or a third of the night
and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint
Night and Day in due measure. He knoweth that ye are unable to
keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye
therefore of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He
knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others
travelling through the land seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others
fighting in Allah's Cause. Read ye therefore as much of the
Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and
give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And
whatever good ye send forth for your souls Ye shall find it in
Allah's presence yea better and greater in Reward. And seek ye
the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful

#74. Mudatthir *SURAH*

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

1. O thou wrapped up (in a mantle)!

2. Arise and deliver thy warning!

3. And thy Lord do thou magnify!

4. And thy garments keep free from stain!

5. And all abomination shun!

6. Nor expect in giving any increase (for thyself)!

7. But for thy Lord's (Cause) be patient and constant!

8. Finally when the Trumpet is sounded

9. That will be that Day a Day of Distress

10. Far from easy for those without Faith

11. Leave Me alone (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created
(bare and) alone!

12. To whom I granted resources in abundance

13. And sons to be by his side!

14. To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!

15. Yet is he greedy that I should add (yet more)

16. By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!

17. Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!

18. For he thought and he plotted

19. And woe to him! how he plotted!

20. Yea woe to him! how he plotted!

21. Then he looked round;

22. Then he frowned and he scowled;

23. Then he turned back and was haughty;

24. Then said he: "This is nothing but magic derived from of
old;"

25. "This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"

26. Soon will cast him into Hell-Fire!

27. And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?

28. Naught doth it permit to endure and naught doth it leave
alone!

29. Darkening and changing the color of man!

30. Over it are Nineteen

31. And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire; and
We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers in
order that the people of the Book may arrive at certainty and the
Believers may increase in Faith and that no doubts may be left
for the People of the Book and the Believers and that those in
whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say "What
symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray
whom He pleaseth and guide whom He pleaseth; and none can know
the forces of the Lord except He and this is no other than a
warning to mankind

32. Nay verily: by the Moon

33. And by the Night as it retreateth

34. And by the Dawn as it shineth forth

35. This is but one of the mighty (Portents)

36. A warning to mankind

37. To any of you that chooses to press forward or to follow
behind

38. Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds

39. Except the Companions of the Right Hand

40. (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight); they will question
each other

41. And (ask) of the Sinners:

42. "What led you into Hell-Fire?"

43. They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;"

44. "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;"

45. "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;"

46. "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment"

47. "Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."

48. Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them

49. Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from
admonition?

50. As if they were affrighted asses

51. Fleeing from a lion!

52. Forsooth each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of
revelation) spread out!

53. By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter

54. Nay this surely is an admonition:

55. Let any who will keep it in remembrance!

56. But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills:
He is the Lord of Righteousness and the Lord of Forgiveness
