بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

1. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُدَّثِّرُ

2. قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ

3. وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ

4. وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ

5. وَٱلرُّجْزَ فَٱهْجُرْ

6. وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ

7. وَلِرَبِّكَ فَٱصْبِرْ

8. فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى ٱلنَّاقُورِ

9. فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ

10. عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍۢ

11. ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًۭا

12. وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُۥ مَالًۭا مَّمْدُودًۭا

13. وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًۭا

14. وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُۥ تَمْهِيدًۭا

15. ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ

16. كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًۭا

17. سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا

18. إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

19. فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

20. ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

21. ثُمَّ نَظَرَ

22. ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ

23. ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ

24. فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌۭ يُؤْثَرُ

25. إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

26. سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ

27. وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ

28. لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ

29. لَوَّاحَةٌۭ لِّلْبَشَرِ

30. عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

31. وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ

32. كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ

33. وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ

34. وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ

35. إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ

36. نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ

37. لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ

38. كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ

39. إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ

40. فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

41. عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

42. مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ

43. قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ

44. وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ

45. وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ

46. وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

47. حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

48. فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ

49. فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ

50. كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ

51. فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ

52. بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ

53. كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ

54. كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ

55. فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

56. وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ

Context of Revelation

Surah Al-Muddaththir (The Cloaked One) is a Meccan surah consisting of 56 verses. It is among the earliest revelations, revealed shortly after Surah Al-‘Alaq and Al-Muzzammil. The word Al-Muddaththir means “the one wrapped in his cloak,” referring to the Prophet ﷺ when he was enveloped in a garment, moved by the weight of the first revelations.

According to authentic narrations in Sahih Al-Bukhari (4953) and Muslim (160), this surah marks the beginning of the Prophet’s public mission. God calls upon him to rise, warn humanity, purify himself, and proclaim the divine message with courage. ([sahih al-bukhari, 4953])

Main Teachings and Key Insights

Surah Al-Muddaththir lays the foundations of the prophetic mission: calling, purification, and perseverance. Its major lessons include:

  • The divine command to the Prophet ﷺ to rise and warn. (vv. 1–2)
  • The call to moral and spiritual purity: cleansing oneself and staying away from sin. (vv. 4–5)
  • The order to be patient and detached from worldly reward: seeking no compensation for conveying the message. (vv. 6–7)
  • The warning to the deniers and the story of Al-Walīd ibn Al-Mughīrah, who accused the Qur’an of being sorcery. (vv. 11–26)
  • The vivid description of Hell (Saqar) and the dialogue between its inhabitants. (vv. 27–48)

The surah emphasizes that Islam’s message is rooted in sincerity, purification, and inner struggle. It reveals the weight of prophetic responsibility and the believer’s duty toward truth and moral vigilance.

Structure and Main Themes

  • Initial Call (vv. 1–7): God commands the Prophet ﷺ to rise, purify his mission, and persevere in patience.
  • Condemnation of the Deniers (vv. 8–26): the arrogant reaction of the disbelievers to revelation and their moral blindness.
  • Punishment in Hell (vv. 27–48): depiction of the torment awaiting the deniers and their testimony in the Hereafter.
  • Conclusion (vv. 49–56): affirmation that the Qur’an is a universal reminder, accessible only to those whom God guides.

The tone of the surah is solemn, urgent, and commanding: it announces the beginning of the prophetic mission and underscores the seriousness of divine revelation and the certainty of Judgment.

Key Verse

The central verse of the surah is verse 2:

قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ

Rise and warn!

Why this verse is key:

  • It marks the official beginning of the Prophet’s public mission ﷺ.
  • It encapsulates the responsibility of every messenger and believer: to convey truth and warn against spiritual negligence.
  • It illustrates the active and universal nature of Islam: faith manifests through action, transmission, and moral integrity.

In summary, Surah Al-Muddaththir inaugurates the Prophet’s ﷺ public call to Islam. It teaches inner purification, spiritual perseverance, and responsibility in delivering the message: to rise, warn, and act with sincerity for the sake of God alone.
