| | Faridul Haque rendition of Surah The Cloaked One, The Man Wearing a Cloak, The Clothed One(al-Mudathir)
--- |
|---|
| 74:1 | | O the Cloaked One! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) |
| 74:2 | | Rise up and warn! |
| 74:3 | | And proclaim the Purity of your Lord. |
| 74:4 | | And keep your clothes clean. |
| 74:5 | | And stay away from idols. |
| 74:6 | | And do not favour others in order to receive more. |
| 74:7 | | And for the sake of your Lord, patiently endure. |
| 74:8 | | So when the Trumpet will be blown. |
| 74:9 | | So that is a tough day. |
| 74:10 | | Not easy upon the disbelievers. |
| 74:11 | | Leave him to Me, the one whom I created single. |
| 74:12 | | And gave him vast wealth. |
| 74:13 | | And gave him sons present before him. |
| 74:14 | | And made several preparations for him. |
| 74:15 | | Yet he desires that I should give more. |
| 74:16 | | Never! For he is an enemy to Our signs! |
| 74:17 | | Soon I shall mount him on Saood, the hill of fire. |
| 74:18 | | Indeed he thought, and inwardly decided. |
| 74:19 | | So accursed be he, how evilly did he decide! |
| 74:20 | | Again accursed be he, how evilly did he decide! |
| 74:21 | | He then dared to lift his gaze. |
| 74:22 | | Then frowned and grimaced. |
| 74:23 | | Then he turned away, and was haughty. |
| 74:24 | | And said, “This is nothing but magic learnt from earlier men.” |
| 74:25 | | “This is nothing but the speech of a man.” |
| 74:26 | | I will soon fling him into hell. |
| 74:27 | | And what have you understood, what hell is! |
| 74:28 | | It neither leaves, nor spares. |
| 74:29 | | It strips away the hide of man. |
| 74:30 | | Above it are nineteen guards. |
| 74:31 | | We have not appointed the guards of hell, except angels; and did not keep this number except to test the disbelievers – in order that the People given the Book(s) may be convinced, and to increase the faith of the believers – and so that the People given the Book(s) and the Muslims may not have any doubt - and so that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers, may say, “What does Allah mean by this amazing example?” This is how Allah sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills; and no one knows the armies of Allah except Him; and this is not but an advice to man. |
| 74:32 | | Yes, never!* By oath of the moon. (Hell will never spare the disbelievers). |
| 74:33 | | And by oath of the night when it turns back. |
| 74:34 | | And by oath of the morning, when it spreads light. |
| 74:35 | | Indeed hell is one of the greatest entities. |
| 74:36 | | Warn the men. |
| 74:37 | | For the one among you who wishes to come forward or stay back. |
| 74:38 | | Every soul is mortgaged for its own deeds. |
| 74:39 | | Except those on the right side. |
| 74:40 | | In Gardens, they seek answers, |
| 74:41 | | - From the guilty. |
| 74:42 | | “What took you into the hell?” |
| 74:43 | | They said, “We never used to offer the prayer.” |
| 74:44 | | “Nor used to feed the needy.” |
| 74:45 | | “And used to dwell on evil matters with those who think evilly.” |
| 74:46 | | “And used to deny the Day of Justice.” |
| 74:47 | | “Till death overcame us.” |
| 74:48 | | So the intercession of the intercessors will not benefit them. (The disbelievers will not have any intercessor.) |
| 74:49 | | So what is the matter with them that they turn away from the advice? |
| 74:50 | | As if they were startled donkeys - |
| 74:51 | | Fleeing away from a lion. |
| 74:52 | | Rather each one of them desires that he should be given open Books. |
| 74:53 | | Never! In fact they do not fear the Hereafter. |
| 74:54 | | Yes indeed, this is an advice. |
| 74:55 | | So whoever wills may heed advice from it. |
| 74:56 | | And what advice will they heed, except if Allah wills? Only He deserves to be feared, and His only is the greatness of forgiving. |
