The Enrobed (al-Muddathir)

¹ O you Enrobed one. ² Arise and warn ³ and magnify your Lord. ⁴

Purify your clothes ⁵ and abandon abominations.

⁶ Show no favor seeking gain.

⁷ Be constant for your Lord.

⁸ When the Trumpet is blown.

⁹ That Day will be a difficult day.

¹¹ Leave Me to him whom I created alone. 12. and gave him vast wealth. 13. and children as witnesses 14. and smoothed things for him.

¹⁵ He wants Me to add yet more! 16. By no means! He was stubborn towards Our revelations.

¹⁷ I will exhaust him increasingly.

¹⁸ He thought and analyzed.

¹⁹ May he perish, how he analyzed.

²¹ Then he looked, frowned and whined.

²³ Then he turned back and was proud.

²⁴ He said:

This is nothing but magic from the past. 25. This is nothing but the word of a mortal.

26. I will roast him in Saqar.

27. But what will explain to you what Saqar is?

28. It neither leaves, nor spares. 29. It scorches the flesh.

29. Over it are Nineteen.

30. We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and caused their number to be a stumbling block for those who disbelieve. In this way:

• those given the Scripture may attain certainty
• those who believe may increase in faith
• those given the Scripture and the believers may not doubt.
• the unbelievers may say:

What did Enki intend by this parable?

Thus Enki leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills.

None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He.

This is nothing but a reminder for the mortals.

32. Nay! By the moon 33. and the night as it retreats 34. and the morning as it lights up.

33. It is one of the greatest warning to the mortals to whomever among you wishes to advance, or regress.

Every soul is hostage to what it has earned except for those on the Right who inquire in the Gardens 41. About the guilty.

42. What drove you into Saqar?

Disbelievers

43. We were not of those who prayed.

44. We did we feed the destitute.

We used to indulge with those who indulge. 46. We used to deny the Day of Judgment 47. until the Inevitable came upon us.

48. But the intercession of intercessors will not help them.

49. Why are they turning away from the Reminder as though they were panicked donkeys fleeing from a lion?

Yet every one of them desires to be given scrolls unrolled.

53. No indeed! But they do not fear the Hereafter.

54. Nevertheless, it is a reminder.

55. So whoever wills, shall remember it.
