سورة المزمل

The Enshrouded One

Al-Muzzammil | Sura # 73 | 20 verses | Makkan

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful

يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ١

73:1 O' Muzzammil (O' Prophet  ﷺ covered in a sheet).   

It is one of the names with which Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) called his beloved Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم).

قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا٢

73:2 Stand in prayers at night, but not the whole night,

نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا٣

73:3 half of it or a little less,

أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا٤

73:4 or a little more, and recite the Quran slowly and distinctly.

إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا٥

73:5 Soon We are going to send you a weighty message  (and entrust you with a momentous mission).

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا٦

73:6 Indeed, worship in the night is more impactful and suitable for recitation.

إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا٧

73:7 For, during the day you are over-occupied (with several responsibilities).

وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا٨

73:8 (Always) remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.

رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا٩

73:9 He is the Lord of the east and the west. There is no god but He, therefore, take Him as your Protector.

وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا١٠

73:10 And be patient over what they say, and depart from them in a good manner.

وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا١١

73:11 And leave Me to deal with the deniers who have been given certain (worldly) things, and respite for a while.

إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنْكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا١٢

73:12 Surely, We have fetters (in store to bind them) and a raging Fire,

وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا١٣

73:13 choking food, and a painful punishment (in store for them),

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَهِيلًا١٤

73:14 on the Day when the earth and the mountains tremble, and the mountains become heaps of sand.

إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا١٥

73:15 O' mankind, We have sent towards you an Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), to bear witness for you, as We sent an Apostle (Musa  عليه السلام) towards Pharaoh before you.

فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا١٦

73:16 But Pharaoh disobeyed the Apostle (Musa - عليه السلام), so We seized him with a stern grip.

فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا١٧

73:17 If you defy and disobey, how would you go through (the frightful) Day (of Judgment), which would turn even the children gray (old in horror).

السَّمَاءُ مُنْفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا١٨

73:18 (On that day), the sky will burst asunder; His promise is  bound to be fulfilled.

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا١٩

73:19 This is indeed a Reminder. So let anyone who wishes,  take the way toward his Lord.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَنْ سَيَكُونُ مِنْكُمْ مَرْضَىٰ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ٢٠

73:20 Indeed, Allah knows that,  you and some of those with you, do stand (in Salah) close to two-thirds of the night. Sometimes half the night and sometimes close to one-third (of the night). Allah keeps the count of the day and the night (precisely). He knows that you cannot (always) keep time (so accurately). So He has turned to you with kindness and grace. You may recite as much of the Quran as you easily can.  He knows that (at any given time) some of you would be sick, and others would be traveling in search of Allah´s bounties. Still others would be (engaged in) fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite as much of the Quran as you can, establish Salah, pay Zakat and advance the virtuous loan to Allah. Whatever good deeds you send ahead for yourself are there with Allah. You will receive the rewards for your deeds far better and bigger (than your deeds). Seek the forgiveness of Allah, for Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
