73. Al-Muzzammil

The Enshrouded One

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ١

O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

قُمِٱلَّيۡلَإِلَّاقَلِيلٗا٢

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

نِّصۡفَهُۥٓأَوِٱنقُصۡمِنۡهُقَلِيلًا٣

Half of it - or subtract from it a little

أَوۡزِدۡعَلَيۡهِوَرَتِّلِٱلۡقُرۡءَانَتَرۡتِيلًا٤

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

إِنَّاسَنُلۡقِيعَلَيۡكَقَوۡلٗاثَقِيلًا٥

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

إِنَّنَاشِئَةَٱلَّيۡلِهِيَأَشَدُّوَطۡـٔٗاوَأَقۡوَمُقِيلًا٦

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

إِنَّلَكَفِيٱلنَّهَارِسَبۡحٗاطَوِيلٗا٧

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

وَٱذۡكُرِٱسۡمَرَبِّكَوَتَبَتَّلۡإِلَيۡهِتَبۡتِيلٗا٨

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

رَّبُّٱلۡمَشۡرِقِوَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِلَآإِلَٰهَإِلَّاهُوَفَٱتَّخِذۡهُوَكِيلٗا٩

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

وَٱصۡبِرۡعَلَىٰمَايَقُولُونَوَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡهَجۡرٗاجَمِيلٗا١٠

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