يٰۤاَيُّهَا الۡمُزَّمِّلُ ۙ ١
73:1
O you who wraps himself [in clothing],
قُمِ الَّيۡلَ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا ۙ ٢
73:2
Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -
نِّصۡفَهٗۤ اَوِ انۡقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِيۡلًا ۙ ٣
73:3
Half of it or lessen from it a little
اَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَيۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ تَرۡتِيۡلًا ؕ ٤
73:4
Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.
اِنَّا سَنُلۡقِىۡ عَلَيۡكَ قَوۡلًا ثَقِيۡلًا ؕ ٥
73:5
Indeed, We will cast upon you a weighty word.
اِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ الَّيۡلِ هِىَ اَشَدُّ وَطۡئًا وَّاَقۡوَمُ قِيۡلًا ؕ ٦
73:6
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for recitation.
اِنَّ لَكَ فِىۡ النَّهَارِ سَبۡحًا طَوِيۡلًا ؕ ٧
73:7
Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.
وَاذۡكُرِ اسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ اِلَيۡهِ تَبۡتِيۡلًا ؕ ٨
73:8
And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.
رَبُّ الۡمَشۡرِقِ وَالۡمَغۡرِبِ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِيۡلًا ؕ ٩
73:9
[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.
وَاصۡبِرۡ عَلٰى مَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَاهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرًا جَمِيۡلًا ؕ ١٠
73:10
And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.
وَذَرۡنِىۡ وَالۡمُكَذِّبِيۡنَ اُولِىۡ النَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِيۡلًا ؕ ١١
73:11
And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers - those of ease - and respite them for a little.
اِنَّ لَدَيۡنَاۤ اَنۡكَالًا وَّجَحِيۡمًا ۙ ١٢
73:12
Indeed, with Us are shackles and burning fire
وَّطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَّعَذَابًا اَلِيۡمًا ۙ ١٣
73:13
And food that chokes and a painful punishment -
يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ الۡاَرۡضُ وَالۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الۡجِبَالُ كَثِيۡبًا مَّهِيۡلًا ؕ ١٤
73:14
On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse, and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.
اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكُمۡ رَسُوۡلًا ۙ شَاهِدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَاۤ اِلٰى فِرۡعَوۡنَ رَسُوۡلًا ؕ ١٥
73:15
Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you, just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.
فَعَصٰى فِرۡعَوۡنُ الرَّسُوۡلَ فَاَخَذۡنٰهُ اَخۡذًا وَّبِيۡلًا ؕ ١٦
73:16
But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
فَكَيۡفَ تَتَّقُوۡنَ اِنۡ كَفَرۡتُمۡ يَوۡمًا يَّجۡعَلُ الۡوِلۡدَانَ شِيۡبًا ۖ ١٧
73:17
Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white-haired?
السَّمَآءُ مُنۡفَطِرٌۢ بِهٖ ؕ كَانَ وَعۡدُهٗ مَفۡعُوۡلًا ؕ ١٨
73:18
The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.
اِنَّ هٰذِهٖ تَذۡكِرَةٌ ۚ فَمَنۡ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ سَبِيۡلًا ؕ ١٩
73:19
Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعۡلَمُ اَنَّكَ تَقُوۡمُ اَدۡنٰى مِنۡ ثُلُثَىِ الَّيۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهٗ وَثُلُثَهٗ وَطَآئِفَةٌ مِّنَ الَّذِيۡنَ مَعَكَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُقَدِّرُ الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ؕ عَلِمَ اَنۡ لَّنۡ تُحۡصُوۡهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ۬ ۖ فَاقۡرَءُوۡا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الۡقُرۡاٰنِ ؕ عَلِمَ اَنۡ سَيَكُوۡنُ مِنۡكُمۡ مَّرۡضٰى ۙ وَاٰخَرُوۡنَ يَضۡرِبُوۡنَ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ يَبۡتَغُوۡنَ مِنۡ فَضۡلِ اللّٰهِ ۙ وَاٰخَرُوۡنَ يُقَاتِلُوۡنَ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ ۙ فَاقۡرَءُوۡا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنۡهُ ۚ وَاَقِيۡمُوۡا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوۡا الزَّكَوٰةَ وَاَقۡرِضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا ؕ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوۡا لِاَنۡفُسِكُمۡ مِّنۡ خَيۡرٍ تَجِدُوۡهُ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ هُوَ خَيۡرًا وَّاَعۡظَمَ اَجۡرًا ؕ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرُوا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ٪ ٢٠
73:20
Indeed, your Lord knows that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night, and sometimes half of it, and sometimes a third of it, and [so do] a party of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] would not be able to precisely keep it, so He 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 in 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 forth 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.
