The Enshrouded One, Bundled Up, The Mantled One — Safi Kaskas Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Prophet enjoined to pray

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ ۝١

You who wraps himself [in his clothing],

yāayyuhā l-muzamil

قُمِ ٱلَّیۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا ۝٢

stay up during the night, except for a little,

qumi al-layla illā qalīla

نِّصۡفَهُۥۤ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِیلًا ۝٣

for half of it, or a little less,

niṣ'fahu awi unquṣ min'hu qalīla

أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَیۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِیلًا ۝٤

or a little more, and recite the Qur'an slowly and distinctly.

aw zid ʿalayhi warattili l-qur'āna tartīla

إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِی عَلَیۡكَ قَوۡلࣰا ثَقِیلًا ۝٥

We will send a weighty message to you.

innā sanul'qī ʿalayka qawlan thaqīla

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّیۡلِ هِیَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡءࣰا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِیلًا ۝٦

Rising at night has a stronger effect and is more conducive to concentration.

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

إِنَّ لَكَ فِی ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحࣰا طَوِیلࣰا ۝٧

In the daytime, you are kept busy for long periods.

inna laka fī l-nahāri sabḥan ṭawīla

وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَیۡهِ تَبۡتِیلࣰا ۝٨

So remember to call upon the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.

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

رَّبُّ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ وَٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذۡهُ وَكِیلࣰا ۝٩

The Lord of the East and the West; there is no god but Him. So, assign to Him alone the power to determine your fate.

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

وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرࣰا جَمِیلࣰا ۝١٠

And patiently endure what they say, and withdraw from them politely

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

وَذَرۡنِی وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ أُو۟لِی ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِیلًا ۝١١

and leave those who deny the truth and live in luxury to Me. Just bear with them a little longer;

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

إِنَّ لَدَیۡنَاۤ أَنكَالࣰا وَجَحِیمࣰا ۝١٢

We have shackles and Hell

inna ladaynā ankālan wajaḥīma

وَطَعَامࣰا ذَا غُصَّةࣲ وَعَذَابًا أَلِیمࣰا ۝١٣

And food that chokes and a painful punishment reserved for them

waṭaʿāman dhā ghuṣṣatin waʿadhāban alīma

یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِیبࣰا مَّهِیلًا ۝١٤

on the Day when the earth and the mountains tremble, and the mountains become heaps of sand.

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

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

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

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

فَعَصَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُ أَخۡذࣰا وَبِیلࣰا ۝١٦

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a crushing grip.

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

فَكَیۡفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرۡتُمۡ یَوۡمࣰا یَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡوِلۡدَ ٰنَ شِیبًا ۝١٧

How, then, if you refuse to acknowledge the truth, will you protect yourself from a Day which will turn the children gray-haired?

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

ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا ۝١٨

A Day when the heavens will shatter. God's promise is always fulfilled.

al-samāu munfaṭirun bihi kāna waʿduhu mafʿūla

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةࣱۖ فَمَن شَاۤءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِیلًا ۝١٩

This is a reminder, so let anyone who wills set a path towards 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

Your Lord knows that you stay up praying nearly two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, along with a group of those with you. God justly evaluates the night and the day. He knows that you will not be able to sustain it, so He will not require it of you. Read from the Qur'an what you can. He knows that some of you may be ill; and others travelling through the land, seeking God's bounty; yet others will be fighting in God's cause. So read from it what is easy for you, and observe the prayers, and pay The purifying alms, and lend God a loan of goodness. Whatever good you advance for yourselves, you will find it with God, improved and increased for you. Ask God's forgiveness, for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
