يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ ﴿١﴾

Ya ayyuha almuzzammilu

O you who wraps himself [in clothing]

قُمِ ٱلَّيۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ﴿٢﴾

Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little

نِّصۡفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِيلًا ﴿٣﴾

Nisfahu awi onqus minhu qaleelan

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِيلًا ﴿٤﴾

Aw zid ʿalayhi warattili alqurana tarteelan

Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation

إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِي عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلٗا ثَقِيلًا ﴿٥﴾

Inna sanulqee ʿalayka qawlan thaqeelan

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word

Inna nashiata allayli hiya ashaddu watan waaqwamu qeelan

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words

إِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحٗا طَوِيلٗا ﴿٧﴾

Inna laka fee alnnahari sabhan taweelan

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation

وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَيۡهِ تَبۡتِيلٗا ﴿٨﴾

Waothkuri isma rabbika watabattal ilayhi tabteelan

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion

رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِيلٗا ﴿٩﴾

Rabbu almashriqi waalmaghribi la ilaha illa huwa faittakhithhu wakeelan

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs

وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرٗا جَمِيلٗا ﴿١٠﴾

Waisbir ʿala ma yaqooloona waohjurhum hajran jameelan

And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance

وَذَرۡنِي وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ أُوْلِي ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِيلًا ﴿١١﴾

Watharnee waalmukaththibeena olee alnnaʿmati wamahhilhum qaleelan

And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little

إِنَّ لَدَيۡنَآ أَنكَالٗا وَجَحِيمٗا ﴿١٢﴾

Inna ladayna ankalan wajaheeman

Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

وَطَعَامٗا ذَا غُصَّةٖ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ﴿١٣﴾

Wataʿaman tha ghussatin waʿathaban aleeman

And food that chokes and a painful punishment

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِيبٗا مَّهِيلًا ﴿١٤﴾

Yawma tarjufu alardu waaljibalu wakanati aljibalu katheeban maheelan

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ رَسُولٗا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ رَسُولٗا ﴿١٥﴾

Inna arsalna ilaykum rasoolan shahidan ʿalaykum kama arsalna ila firʿawna rasoolan

Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger

فَعَصَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ أَخۡذٗا وَبِيلٗا ﴿١٦﴾

Faʿasa firʿawnu alrrasoola faakhathnahu akhthan wabeelan

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure

فَكَيۡفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرۡتُمۡ يَوۡمٗا يَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡوِلۡدَٰنَ شِيبًا ﴿١٧﴾

Fakayfa tattaqoona in kafartum yawman yajʿalu alwildana sheeban

Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white- haired

ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا ﴿١٨﴾

Alssamao munfatirun bihi kana waʿduhu mafʿoolan

The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةٞۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا ﴿١٩﴾

Inna hathihi tathkiratun faman shaa ittakhatha ila rabbihi sabeelan

Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way

۞إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدۡنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَيِ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٞ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحۡصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرۡضَىٰ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضۡرِبُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَبۡتَغُونَ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَٱقۡرَءُواْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنۡهُۚ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقۡرِضُواْ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَيۡرٖ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٗا وَأَعۡظَمَ أَجۡرٗاۚ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمُۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
