| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah The Cloaked One, The Man Wearing a Cloak, The Clothed One(al-Mudathir)
--- |
|---|
| 74:1 | | O you Al-Muddassir |
| 74:2 | | Take a stand, then warn (your people) |
| 74:3 | | And your Nourisher-Sustainer: so glorify and magnify (Him by establishing the proper status to Allah and His Al-Kitab) |
| 74:4 | | And your garments: so cleanse (them |
| 74:5 | | And uncleanliness: so avoid (that) |
| 74:6 | | And bestow not favours (on some one with expectations that) you get extra (reward in return) |
| 74:7 | | And regarding (the Code of life prescribed by) your Nourisher-Sustainer: so be steadfast |
| 74:8 | | Then when is blown in the trumpet |
| 74:9 | | Then that, this Day is a distressful day — |
| 74:10 | | for the disbelievers, not (at all) an easy one |
| 74:11 | | Leave Me and that whom I created as one individual |
| 74:12 | | and sanctioned for him extended provision |
| 74:13 | | and sons ever present |
| 74:14 | | and set for him abode in the form of a fine, luxurious resting place |
| 74:15 | | after (all this) he desires that I may (still) increase (his status and possessions) |
| 74:16 | | By no means! Surely he had been, regarding Ayaatina a stubborn opponent |
| 74:17 | | Soon I subject him to an overwhelming hardship |
| 74:18 | | Surely, he thought over and assessed (a plan against Al-Kitab) |
| 74:19 | | So, he has been condemned. How he assessed (and plotted) |
| 74:20 | | Again, he has been destroyed.How he assessed (and plotted) |
| 74:21 | | Then he looked (all around to create a psychological atmosphere through his expressions) |
| 74:22 | | Then he frowned and scowled |
| 74:23 | | Then he took an about-turn and behaved disdainfully |
| 74:24 | | Then he said: “It is nothing but magic being accepted (since times gone-by) |
| 74:25 | | It is nothing but a statement of a human being.” |
| 74:26 | | Soon I cast him in Saqar (Hell-Fire) |
| 74:27 | | And what made you realise what (is meant by) Saqar |
| 74:28 | | It spares not (any condemned person), and nor leaves (him unburnt) |
| 74:29 | | one that completely burns and dissolves the skin of a human being |
| 74:30 | | Over it (are) nineteen |
| 74:31 | | And We did not appoint the guardians of the Fire but angels; and We did not fix their number (which is 19) except as a test for the people who have disbelieved — in order that those who have been given Al-Kitab may develop certainty in Faith; and may increase Faith-wise those who have Believed; and may not harbour doubts and suspicions (in Al-Kitab) those who are given Al-Kitab and those who have already become Believers; and so that those in whose hearts is sickness and the disbelievers may comment: “What is that which Allah intended with the help of this example?” Thus Allah lets one go astray whom He thinks proper and gives guidance whom He thinks proper. And does not comprehend the forces of your Nourisher-Sustainer except He (Himself,). And this is not but zikrah (reminder) for man |
| 74:32 | | Nay! The moon is a witness |
| 74:33 | | The night is a witness when it retreated |
| 74:34 | | Dawn is a witness when it brightened |
| 74:35 | | Surely this (phenomenon of Revelation) is indeed one of the major (events) — |
| 74:36 | | a warning for man — |
| 74:37 | | for that of you who desired that he should advance or he should hang back and await |
| 74:38 | | Every Nafs because of what she earned (remains) mortgaged |
| 74:39 | | except companions of the right (side) |
| 74:40 | | In Gardens — they will ask questions to one another — |
| 74:41 | | unto the sinners |
| 74:42 | | “What has caused you to enter Saqar?” |
| 74:43 | | They said : “We were not of those who offer Prayers regularly |
| 74:44 | | and we used not to feed the indigent |
| 74:45 | | and we used to talk uselessly alongwith those who indulge in senseless talhead of state |
| 74:46 | | and we used to deny the Day of Judgment |
| 74:47 | | until there came to us the Certainty (i.e., the moment of death).” |
| 74:48 | | So, would not benefit them the intercession of the intercessors |
| 74:49 | | Then what (is wrong) with them — from At-Tazkirah (‘The Admonition’.) they are those who remain at a distance |
| 74:50 | | As if they (are) frightened donkey |
| 74:51 | | who have fled (out of fear) from a group of lions |
| 74:52 | | Nay! Every man of them desires that he may be given Suhuf (booklets) Munashsharah (spread out) |
| 74:53 | | By no means! Nay, they are not mindful of the Hereafter |
| 74:54 | | By no means (it benefits them)! Surely this is Tazkirah |
| 74:55 | | So whosoever desired he reminded it (to himself and to others) |
| 74:56 | | They will not remind (their ownselves or others) except that Allah desires (this). He (Alone is) worthy of (receiving) obedience and worthy for (granting) Forgiveness |
