73. Al-Muzzammil سُورَةُ المُزَّمِّلِ
Yusuf AliO thou folded in garments
Yusuf AliStand (to prayer) by night, but not all night
Yusuf AliOr a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones
Yusuf AliSoon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message
Yusuf AliTruly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise)
Yusuf AliTrue, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties
Yusuf AliBut keep in remembrance the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him whole-heartedly
Yusuf Ali(He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs
Yusuf AliAnd have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity)
Yusuf AliAnd leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while
Yusuf AliWith Us are Fetters (to bind them), and a Fire (to burn them)
Yusuf AliAnd a Food that chokes, and a Penalty Grievous
Yusuf AliOne Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion. And the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down
Yusuf AliWe have sent to you, (O men!) an apostle, to be a witness concerning you, even as We sent an apostle to Pharaoh
Yusuf AliBut Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle; so We seized him with a heavy Punishment
Yusuf AliThen how shall ye, if ye deny (God), guard yourselves against a Day that will make children hoary-headed
Yusuf AliWhereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be accomplished
Yusuf AliVerily this is an Admonition: therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to his Lord
Yusuf AliThy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But God doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of God's bounty ; yet others fighting in God's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to God a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall f ind it in God's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of God: for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
