Surah “The Cloaked One, The Man Wearing a Cloak, The Clothed One”

as rendered by Abdul Majid Daryabadi — 56 verses

O thou enveloped
Arise, and warn
And thine Lord magnify
And thine raiment purify
And pollution shun
And bestow not favour that thou mayest receive more
And for the good-will of thy Lord be thou patient
Then when the horn shall be blown
That shall be - that Day-a day hard
For the infidels, not easy
Let Me alone with him whom I created lonely
And for whom I appointed wealth extended
And sons present by his side
And for whom I smoothed everything
And who yet coveteth that shall increase
By no means! Verily he hath been Unto Our signs a foe
Anon I shall afflict him with a fearful woe
Verily he considered, and devised
Perish he! How moliciously he devised
And again perish he! How maliciously he devised
Then looked he
Then frowned he and scowled
Then turned he back, and grew stiff-necked
Then he said: naught is this but magic from of old
Naught is this but the word of Man
Anon shall I roast him into the Scorching Fire
And what knoweth thou that which the Scorching Fire
It shall not spare, nor leave
. Scorching the skin
Over it are appointed nineteen
And We have appointed none but the angels to be wardens of the Fire. And their number we have made only a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who are vouchsafed the Book may be convinced, and that those who believe may increase in faith, and that those who are vouchsafed the Book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the infidels may say: what meaneth Allah by this description! In this wise Allah sendeth astray whomsoever He will, and guideth whomsoever He will. And none knoweth the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but an admonition Unto man
By no means! By the moon
By the night when it with draweth
By the morning when it brighteneth
Verily it is one of the greatest woes
A warning Unto humankind
A warning Unto him of you who shall go forward or who chooseth to lag behind
Every soul will be a pledge for that which it hath earned
Save the fellows of the right
In Gardens; they shall be asking
Concerning the culprits
What led you into the Scorching Fire
They will say. 'we have not been of those who prayed
And we have not been feeding the poor
And we have been wading with the waders
And we have been belying the Day of Requital
until there came to us the certainty
Then there will not Profit them intercision of the interceders
What aileth them, therefore, that they are from the Admonition turning away
As though they were asses startled."
Fleeing away from a lion
Aye! every one of them desireth that: he should be vouchsafed scrolls expanded
By no means! Aye, they fear not the Hereafter
By no means! Verily this Qur'an is an Admonition
So whosoever willeth may heed it
And they shall not heed unless Allah Willeth. He is the Lord of piety. and the Lord of forgivenes
