The Enshrouded One, Bundled Up, The Mantled One — George Sale Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Prophet enjoined to pray

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ ۝١

O thou wrapped up

yāayyuhā l-muzamil

قُمِ ٱلَّیۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا ۝٢

arise to prayer, and continue therein during the night

qumi al-layla illā qalīla

نِّصۡفَهُۥۤ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِیلًا ۝٣

except a small part; that is to say, during one half thereof: Or do thou lessen the same a little

niṣ'fahu awi unquṣ min'hu qalīla

أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَیۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِیلًا ۝٤

or add thereto. And repeat the Koran with a distinct and sonorous voice

aw zid ʿalayhi warattili l-qur'āna tartīla

إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِی عَلَیۡكَ قَوۡلࣰا ثَقِیلًا ۝٥

For We will lay on thee a weighty word

innā sanul'qī ʿalayka qawlan thaqīla

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّیۡلِ هِیَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡءࣰا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِیلًا ۝٦

Verily the rising by night is more efficacious for stedfast continuance in devotion, and more conducive to decent pronunciation

inna nāshi-ata al-layli hiya ashaddu waṭan wa-aqwamu qīla

إِنَّ لَكَ فِی ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحࣰا طَوِیلࣰا ۝٧

For in the day-time thou hast long employment

inna laka fī l-nahāri sabḥan ṭawīla

وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَیۡهِ تَبۡتِیلࣰا ۝٨

And commemorate the name of thy Lord: And separate thy self unto Him, renouncing worldly vanities

wa-udh'kuri is'ma rabbika watabattal ilayhi tabtīla

رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِیلࣰا ۝٩

He is the Lord of the east, and of the west; there is no God but He. Wherefore take Him for thy patron

rabbu l-mashriqi wal-maghribi lā ilāha illā huwa fa-ittakhidh'hu wakīla

وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرࣰا جَمِیلࣰا ۝١٠

And patiently suffer the contumelies which the infidels utter against thee; and depart from them with a decent departure

wa-iṣ'bir ʿalā mā yaqūlūna wa-uh'jur'hum hajran jamīla

وَذَرۡنِی وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ أُو۟لِی ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِیلًا ۝١١

And let Me alone with those who charge the Koran with falsehood, who enjoy the blessings of this life; and bear with them for a while

wadharnī wal-mukadhibīna ulī l-naʿmati wamahhil'hum qalīla

إِنَّ لَدَیۡنَاۤ أَنكَالࣰا وَجَحِیمࣰا ۝١٢

Verily with Us are heavy fetters, and a burning fire

inna ladaynā ankālan wajaḥīma

وَطَعَامࣰا ذَا غُصَّةࣲ وَعَذَابًا أَلِیمࣰا ۝١٣

and food ready to choke him who swalloweth it, and painful torment

waṭaʿāman dhā ghuṣṣatin waʿadhāban alīma

یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِیبࣰا مَّهِیلًا ۝١٤

On a certain day the earth shall be shaken, and the mountains also, and the mountains shall become a heap of sand poured forth

yawma tarjufu l-arḍu wal-jibālu wakānati l-jibālu kathīban mahīla

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَاۤ إِلَیۡكُمۡ رَسُولࣰا شَـٰهِدًا عَلَیۡكُمۡ كَمَاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ رَسُولࣰا ۝١٥

Verily We have sent unto you an apostle, to bear witness against you; as We sent an apostle unto Pharaoh

innā arsalnā ilaykum rasūlan shāhidan ʿalaykum kamā arsalnā ilā fir'ʿawna rasūla

فَعَصَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ أَخۡذࣰا وَبِیلࣰا ۝١٦

But Pharaoh was disobedient unto the apostle; wherefore We chastised him with a heavy chastisement

faʿaṣā fir'ʿawnu l-rasūla fa-akhadhnāhu akhdhan wabīla

فَكَیۡفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرۡتُمۡ یَوۡمࣰا یَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡوِلۡدَ ٰنَ شِیبًا ۝١٧

How, therefore, will ye escape, if ye believe not, the day which shall make children become greyheaded through terror

fakayfa tattaqūna in kafartum yawman yajʿalu l-wil'dāna shība

ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا ۝١٨

The heaven shall be rent in sunder thereby: The promise thereof shall surely be performed

al-samāu munfaṭirun bihi kāna waʿduhu mafʿūla

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةࣱۖ فَمَن شَاۤءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِیلًا ۝١٩

Verily this is an admonition; and whoever is willing to be admonished, will take the way unto his Lord

inna hādhihi tadhkiratun faman shāa ittakhadha ilā rabbihi sabīla

2 Prayer enjoined on Muslims

۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدۡنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَیِ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَنِصۡفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَاۤىِٕفَةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِینَ مَعَكَۚ وَٱللَّهُ یُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّیۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحۡصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَیۡكُمۡۖ فَٱقۡرَءُوا۟ مَا تَیَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَیَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرۡضَىٰ وَءَاخَرُونَ یَضۡرِبُونَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ یَبۡتَغُونَ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَءَاخَرُونَ یُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَٱقۡرَءُوا۟ مَا تَیَسَّرَ مِنۡهُۚ وَأَقِیمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقۡرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنࣰاۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنۡ خَیۡرࣲ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَیۡرࣰا وَأَعۡظَمَ أَجۡرࣰاۚ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِیمُۢ ۝٢٠

Thy Lord knoweth that thou continuest in prayer and meditation sometimes near two third parts of the night, and sometimes one half thereof, and at other times one third part thereof: And a part of thy companions, who are with thee, do the same. But God measureth the night and the day; he knoweth that ye cannot exactly compute the same: Wherefore He turneth favourably unto you. Read, therefore, so much of the Koran as may be easy unto you. He knoweth that there will be some infirm among you; and others travel through the earth, that they may obtain a competency of the bounty of God; and others fight in the defence of God's faith. Read, therefore, so much of the same as may be easy. And observe the stated times of prayer, and pay the legal alms; and lend unto God an acceptable loan; for whatever good ye send before for your souls, ye shall find the same with God. This will be better, and will merit a greater reward. And ask God forgiveness; for God is ready to forgive, and merciful
