Al-Muzzammil

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ ١

O you who wraps himself [in clothing],1

قُمِ ٱلَّيۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ٢

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

نِّصۡفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِيلًا ٣

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِيلًا ٤

Or add to it, and recite the Qur’ān with measured recitation.

إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِي عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلٗا ثَقِيلًا ٥

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.1

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيۡلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡـٔٗا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِيلًا ٦

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue]1 and more suitable for words.2

إِنَّ لَكَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحٗا طَوِيلٗا ٧

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَيۡهِ تَبۡتِيلٗا ٨

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

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.1

وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرٗا جَمِيلٗا ١٠

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

وَذَرۡنِي وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ أُوْلِي ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِيلًا ١١

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

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