THE HOLY QURAN

O you who wraps himself [in clothing], Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [1]

Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little - Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [2]

Half of it - or subtract from it a little Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [3]

Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [4]

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [5]

Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [6]

Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [7]

And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [8]

[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [9]

And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [10]

And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [11]

Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [12]

And food that chokes and a painful punishment - Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [13]

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [14]

Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [15]

But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [16]

Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white- haired? Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [17]

The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [18]

Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [19]

Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Al-Muzzammil (The One wrapped in Garments) [20]
