Our Motto : 'In-Allah-ha-Ma'anaa' ("Be not grieved, for surely Allah is with us." - The Holy Quran 9:40). We find spiritual strength, courage and comfort, in the times of trials and  hardships, from this Divine Quranic revelation that descended upon the pure heart of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), so as to console and compose him during one of the most perilous moments of his life. <Please click the 'Our Motto' link on our homepage for more details>

Chapter 73: (Al-Muzzammil - The One Covering Himself Up)
(Revealed at Makkah - 2 sections; 20 verses)

 


Printer-friendly Version

Sections (Rukus): || 1. The Prophet Enjoined to Pray || 2. Prayer Enjoined on Muslims ||

Section 1: The Prophet Enjoined to Pray:

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1. O thou covering thyself up!

2. Rise to pray by night except a little,

3. Half of it, or lessen it a little,

4. Or add to it, and recite the Quran in a leisurely manner.

5. Surely We shall charge thee with a weighty word.

6. The rising by night is surely the firmest way to tread and most effective in speech.

7. Truly thou hast by day prolonged occupation.

8. And remember the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him with (complete) devotion.

9. The Lord of the East and the West – there is no God but He – so take Him for Protector.

10. And bear patiently what they say and forsake them with a becoming withdrawal.

11. And leave Me and the deniers, possessors of plenty, and respite them a little.

12. Surely with Us are heavy fetters and a flaming Fire,

13. And food that chokes and a painful chastisement.

14. On the day when the earth and the mountains quake and the mountains become (as) heaps of sand let loose.

15. Surely We have sent to you a Messenger, a witness against you, as We sent a messenger to Pharaoh.

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

17. How, then, if you disbelieve, will you guard yourselves on the day which will make children grey-headed?

18. The heaven being rent asunder thereby. His promise is ever fulfilled.

19. Surely this is a Reminder; so let him, who will, take a way to his Lord.


Section 2: Prayer Enjoined on Muslims:

20. Thy Lord knows indeed that thou passest in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, as do a party of those with thee. And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that (all of) you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully); so read of the Quran that which is easy for you. He knows that there are sick among you, and others who travel in the land seeking of Allah’s bounty, and others who fight in Allah’s way. So read as much of it as is easy (for 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.
