Sura 73 The Enwrapped (Al-Muzzammil)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[73:1] O you enwrapped one,

[73:2] arise during the night, except a little,

[73:3] half of it, or reduce from it a little,

[73:4] or add to it a little, and recite the Quran at a measured pace.

[73:5] We will cast upon you a heavy Word.

[73:6] The night vigil is more productive and more receptive to what is to be told.

[73:7] During the day, you are long occupied with other matters.

[73:8] Remember the name of your Lord, and devote yourself wholeheartedly to Him.

[73:9] He is the Lord of the east and the west. There is no god except Him, so take Him as a Trustee.

[73:10] Be patient in the face of what they say, and part company with them gracefully.

[73:11] And leave the deniers who are immersed in luxury to Me. Just give them a little respite.

[73:12] Indeed, We have shackles and Hellfire,

[73:13] and food that chokes, and a painful punishment

[73:14] on the Day when the earth and the mountains will shake, and the mountains will become heaps of crumbling sand.

[73:15] We have sent to you a messenger serving as a witness over you, just as We sent Pharaoh a messenger.

[73:16] But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a disastrous grip.

[73:17] So how are you able to be reverent if you have disbelieved in a Day that turns children's hair grey?

[73:18] The heaven will shatter therefrom. His promise will be fulfilled.
