English - Chapter 73 - Al-Muzzammil

O you who are wrapped up in garments

Rise (to pray in) the night except a little

half of it or a little less than that

or increase it and recite the Quran gradually (giving) intervals

We will put on you (the responsibility of delivering) a weighty statement

The rising at night (for righteous work) certainly gives rise to more strength of co-ordination and firmly established speech (because)

during the day you certainly have prolonged occupation

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him (with exclusive) devotion

Lord of the east and the west, there is no god except Him, so take Him as a Trustee

And leave Me and the deniers, the possessors of favours (from Me) and give them a little time

Certainly, with Us are heavy fetters and hell fire

and a food that chokes and a painful punishment

The day the earth will quake and the mountains (too), and the mountains will become a heap of running sand

We have sent to you a messenger, a witness over you, as We had sent a messenger to Pharaoh

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a severe seizure

If you reject, then how will you guard (yourselves) on the day which will make children grey headed

(and) on which (day) the sky will be cleft asunder ? His promise is to be fulfilled

This is certainly a reminder, so whoever wills, let him take a way towards his Lord

Your Lord certainly knows that you stand (for worship, salat) nearly two thirds of the night and (sometimes) half of it or one third of it along with a party of those with you, and God measures out the night and the day, He knows that you are not able to keep count of the (length of night), so He has turned to you (mercifully). Therefore recite as much of the Quran as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be (some who are) sick among you and others traveling in the earth seeking from God’s grace and (still) others fighting in the way of God. So recite as much of the (Quran) as may be easy (for you) and establish worship (salat) and give charity (zakat) and loan to God a good loan. And whatever of good you send in advance for yourselves, you will find it with God, (and) it will be better and greater in reward (compared to your good deeds). And seek protective forgiveness from God, God is certainly Protectively Forgiving, Merciful
