Al-Muddaththir (Surah 74)

Al-Muddaththir (The One Covered up)

Makki Surah

Introduction

Following his first encounter with the angel Gabriel at a cave in the outskirts of Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) rushed to his house in total shock, asking his wife to cover him up with his cloak. Later, this Meccan sûrah was revealed, urging him (ﷺ) to shoulder the responsibility of delivering the message. Allah promises to deal with the pagan tyrants who oppose the truth, defame the Quran, and ridicule warnings of Hell. The pagan denial of the Hereafter is dealt with in the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

A Message to the Prophet

1. O you covered up (in your clothes)!

2. Arise and warn (all).

3. Revere your Lord (alone).

4. Purify your garments.

5. (Continue to) shun idols.

6. Do not do a favour expecting more (in return).

7. And persevere for (the sake of) your Lord.

8. (For) when the Trumpet will be sounded,

9. that will (truly) be a difficult Day—

10. far from easy for the disbelievers.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ١

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ٢

وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ٣

وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ٤

وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ٥

وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ٦

وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ٧

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ٨

فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ٩

عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ١٠
