The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
| Surah 73
- The Wrapped Up |
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[73.1] O you
who have wrapped up in your
garments!
[73.2] Rise to pray in the
night except a little,
[73.3] Half of it, or lessen
it a little,
[73.4] Or add to it, and
recite the Quran as it ought to be
recited.
[73.5] Surely We will make to
light upon you a weighty Word.
[73.6] Surely the rising by
night is the firmest way to tread
and the best corrective of speech.
[73.7] Surely you have in the
day time a long occupation.
[73.8] And remember the name
of your Lord and devote yourself to
Him with (exclusive) devotion.
[73.9] The Lord of the East
and the West-- there is no god but
He-- therefore take Him for a
protector.
[73.10] And bear patiently
what they say and avoid them with a
becoming avoidance.
[73.11] And leave Me and the
rejecters, the possessors of ease
and plenty, and respite them a
little.
[73.12] Surely with Us are
heavy fetters and a flaming fire,
[73.13] And food that chokes
and a painful punishment,
[73.14] On the day when the
earth and the mountains shall quake
and the mountains shall become (as)
heaps of sand let loose.
[73.15] Surely We have sent
to you an Apostle, a witness against
you, as We sent an apostle to Firon.
[73.16] But Firon disobeyed
the apostle, so We laid on him a
violent hold.
[73.17] How, then, will you
guard yourselves, if you disbelieve,
on the day which shall make children
gray-headed?
[73.18] The heaven shall rend
asunder thereby; His promise is ever
brought to fulfillment.
[73.19] Surely this is a
reminder, then let him, who will
take the way to his Lord.
[73.20] Surely your Lord
knows that you pass in prayer nearly
two-thirds of the night, and
(sometimes) half of it, and
(sometimes) a third of it, and
(also) a party of those with you;
and Allah measures the night and the
day. He knows that you are not able
to do it, so He has turned to you
(mercifully), therefore read what is
easy of the Quran. He knows that
there must be among you sick, and
others who travel in the land
seeking of the bounty of Allah, and
others who fight in Allah's way,
therefore read as much of it as is
easy (to you), and keep up prayer
and pay the poor-rate and offer to
Allah a goodly gift, and whatever of
good you send on beforehand for
yourselves, you will find it with
Allah; that is best and greatest in
reward; and ask forgiveness of
Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful. |
