أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ ﴿1﴾
74:1
O you covered up ˹in your clothes˺!
2
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ ﴿2﴾
74:2
Arise and warn ˹all˺.
3
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ﴿3﴾
74:3
Revere your Lord ˹alone˺.
4
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ ﴿4﴾
74:4
Purify your garments.
5
وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ ﴿5﴾
74:5
˹Continue to˺ shun idols.
6
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ ﴿6﴾
74:6
Do not do a favour expecting more ˹in return˺.1
7
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ ﴿7﴾
74:7
And persevere for ˹the sake of˺ your Lord.
8
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ ﴿8﴾
74:8
˹For˺ when the Trumpet will be sounded,1
9
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ ﴿9﴾
74:9
that will ˹truly˺ be a difficult Day—
10
عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ ﴿10﴾
74:10
far from easy for the disbelievers.
11
ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا ﴿11﴾
74:11
And leave to me ˹O Prophet˺ the one I created all by Myself,
12
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا ﴿12﴾
74:12
and granted him abundant wealth,
13
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا ﴿13﴾
74:13
and children always by his side,
14
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا ﴿14﴾
74:14
and made life very easy for him.
15
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ ﴿15﴾
74:15
Yet he is hungry for more.
16
كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا ﴿16﴾
74:16
But no! ˹For˺ he has been truly stubborn with Our revelations.
17
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا ﴿17﴾
74:17
I will make his fate unbearable,
18
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ ﴿18﴾
74:18
for he contemplated and determined ˹a degrading label for the Quran˺.
19
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿19﴾
74:19
May he be condemned! How evil was what he determined!
20
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ﴿20﴾
74:20
May he be condemned even more! How evil was what he determined!
21
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ﴿21﴾
74:21
Then he re-contemplated ˹in frustration˺,
22
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ﴿22﴾
74:22
then frowned and scowled,
23
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ ﴿23﴾
74:23
then turned his back ˹on the truth˺ and acted arrogantly,
24
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ ﴿24﴾
74:24
saying, “This ˹Quran˺ is nothing but magic from the ancients.
25
إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ ﴿25﴾
74:25
This is no more than the word of a man.”
26
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ ﴿26﴾
74:26
Soon I will burn him in Hell!
27
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ ﴿27﴾
74:27
And what will make you realize what Hell is?
28
لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ ﴿28﴾
74:28
It does not let anyone live or die,1
29
لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ ﴿29﴾
74:29
scorching the skin.
30
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ﴿30﴾
74:30
It is overseen by nineteen ˹keepers˺.
