The Enshrouded One, Bundled Up, The Mantled One — Sher Ali Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Prophet enjoined to pray

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلۡمُزَّمِّلُ ۝١

O thou wrapped up in thy mantle

yāayyuhā l-muzamil

قُمِ ٱلَّیۡلَ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا ۝٢

Stand up in Prayer at night except a small portion thereof

qumi al-layla illā qalīla

نِّصۡفَهُۥۤ أَوِ ٱنقُصۡ مِنۡهُ قَلِیلًا ۝٣

Half of it, or reduce from it a little

niṣ'fahu awi unquṣ min'hu qalīla

أَوۡ زِدۡ عَلَیۡهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَرۡتِیلًا ۝٤

Or, add to it a little - and recite the Qur'an a good recital

aw zid ʿalayhi warattili l-qur'āna tartīla

إِنَّا سَنُلۡقِی عَلَیۡكَ قَوۡلࣰا ثَقِیلًا ۝٥

Verily, WE are about to charge thee with a weighty Word

innā sanul'qī ʿalayka qawlan thaqīla

إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّیۡلِ هِیَ أَشَدُّ وَطۡءࣰا وَأَقۡوَمُ قِیلًا ۝٦

Verily, getting up at night for Prayer is the most potent means of subduing the self and most effective in speech

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

إِنَّ لَكَ فِی ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبۡحࣰا طَوِیلࣰا ۝٧

Thou hast, indeed, during the day a long chain of engagements

inna laka fī l-nahāri sabḥan ṭawīla

وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلۡ إِلَیۡهِ تَبۡتِیلࣰا ۝٨

So remember the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to HIM with full devotion

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 the West; there is no god but HE; so take him for thy Guardian

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

وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرࣰا جَمِیلࣰا ۝١٠

And bear patiently all that they say; and withdraw from them in a decent manner

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

وَذَرۡنِی وَٱلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ أُو۟لِی ٱلنَّعۡمَةِ وَمَهِّلۡهُمۡ قَلِیلًا ۝١١

And leave ME alone with those who reject the truth, possessors of ease and plenty; and give them a little respite

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

إِنَّ لَدَیۡنَاۤ أَنكَالࣰا وَجَحِیمࣰا ۝١٢

Surely, with US are heavy fetters and a raging fire

inna ladaynā ankālan wajaḥīma

وَطَعَامࣰا ذَا غُصَّةࣲ وَعَذَابًا أَلِیمࣰا ۝١٣

And food that chokes, and a painful punishment

waṭaʿāman dhā ghuṣṣatin waʿadhāban alīma

یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِیبࣰا مَّهِیلًا ۝١٤

On the day when the earth and the mountains shall quake, and the mountains will become like crumbling sand-hills

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 to you a Messenger, who is a witness over you, even as WE sent a Messenger to Pharaoh

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 terrible seizing

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

فَكَیۡفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرۡتُمۡ یَوۡمࣰا یَجۡعَلُ ٱلۡوِلۡدَ ٰنَ شِیبًا ۝١٧

How will you then, if you disbelieve, guard yourselves against a day which will turn children grey-headed

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

ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا ۝١٨

The day when the heaven will be rent asunder; and HIS promise is bound to be fulfilled

al-samāu munfaṭirun bihi kāna waʿduhu mafʿūla

إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةࣱۖ فَمَن شَاۤءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِیلًا ۝١٩

This, surely, is a reminder. So let him, who will, take a 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

Surely, thy Lord knows that thou standest up praying for nearly two-thirds of the night, and sometimes half or a third thereof and also a party of those who are with thee. And ALLAH determines the measure of the night and the day. HE knows that you cannot calculate the time accurately, so HE has turned to you in mercy. Recite, then, as much of the Qur'an as is easy for you. HE knows that there will be some among you who may be sick, and others who may travel in the land, seeking ALLAH's bounty, and others who may fight in the cause of ALLAH. So recite of it that which is easy for you, and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat and lend to ALLAH a goodly loan. And whatever good you may send on before you for your souls, you will find it with ALLAH. It will be better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of ALLAH. Surely, ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful
