Qur’an — Page 575 of 604

۞ 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 Muḥammad], 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 Allāh determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it¹ and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’ān. 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 Allāh and others fighting for the cause of Allāh. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakāh and loan Allāh a goodly loan.² And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُدَّثِّرُ ١

O you who covers himself [with a garment],¹

قُمۡ فَأَنذِرۡ ٢

Arise and warn

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرۡ ٣

And your Lord glorify

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرۡ ٤

And your clothing purify

وَٱلرُّجۡزَ فَٱهۡجُرۡ ٥

And uncleanliness¹ avoid

وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ ٦

And do not confer favor to acquire more¹

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصۡبِرۡ ٧

But for your Lord be patient.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ ٨

And when the trumpet is blown,

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَوۡمٌ عَسِيرٌ ٩

That Day will be a difficult day

عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ غَيۡرُ يَسِيرٖ ١٠

For the disbelievers - not easy.

ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا ١١

Leave Me with the one I created alone¹

وَجَعَلۡتُ لَهُۥ مَالٗا مَّمۡدُودٗا ١٢

And to whom I granted extensive wealth

وَبَنِينَ شُهُودٗا ١٣

And children present [with him]

وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمۡهِيدٗا ١٤

And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life].

ثُمَّ يَطۡمَعُ أَنۡ أَزِيدَ ١٥

Then he desires that I should add more.

كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِأٓيَٰتِنَا عَنِيدٗا ١٦

No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate.

سَأُرۡهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ١٧

I will cover him with arduous torment.
