Surah Introduction

This early Meccan sûrah prepares the Prophet ( ﷺ ) for the commandments yet to be revealed and the challenges ahead. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) is advised, both in this sûrah and the next, to seek comfort in patience and prayer, whereas the arrogant disbelievers are warned of a horrible punishment in Hell.


Translation of Verse 1-18
1. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. O you wrapped ˹in your clothes˺!

2. Stand all night ˹in prayer˺ except a little-

3. ˹pray˺ half the night, or a little less,

4. or a little more-and recite the Quran ˹properly˺ in a measured way.

5. ˹For˺ We will soon send upon you a weighty revelation.

6. Indeed, worship in the night is more impactful and suitable for recitation.

7. For during the day you are over-occupied ˹with worldly duties˺.

8. ˹Always˺ remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.

9. ˹He is the˺ Lord of the east and the west. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, so take Him ˹alone˺ as a Trustee of Affairs.

10. Be patient ˹O Prophet˺ with what they say, and depart from them courteously.

11. And leave to Me the deniers-the people of luxury- and bear with them for a little while.

12. ˹For˺ We certainly have shackles, a ˹raging˺ Fire,

13. choking food, and a painful punishment ˹in store for them˺

14. on the Day the earth and mountains will shake ˹violently˺, and mountains will be ˹reduced to˺ dunes of shifting sand.

15. Indeed, We have sent to you a messenger as a witness over you, just as We sent a messenger to Pharaoh.

16. But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a stern grip.

17. If you ˹pagans˺ persist in disbelief, then how will you guard yourselves against ˹the horrors of˺ a Day which will turn children's hair grey?

18. It will ˹even˺ cause the sky to split apart. His promise ˹of judgment˺ must be fulfilled.
