#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
