<h2>Name</h2><p>The Surah takes its name from the word <em>al-muddaththir</em> in the <a href="/74/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first verse</a>. This also is only a name, not a title of its subject matter.</p><h2>Period of Revelation</h2><p>The <a href="/74/1-7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first seven verses</a> of this Surah belong to the earliest period at Makkah. Even according to some traditions which have been related in Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Musnad Ahmad, etc., on the authority of Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah, these are the very earliest verses of the Qur'an to be revealed to the Holy Prophet (upon whoa be peace). But the Muslim <em>Ummah</em> almost unanimously agreed that the earliest Revelation to the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) consisted of the <a href="/96/1-5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first five verses of Surah Al-Alaq(XCVI)</a>. However, what is established by authentic traditions is that after this first Revelation, no Revelation came down to the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) for quite some time. Then, when it was resumed, it started with theme verses of Surah Al- Muddaththir. Imam Zuhri has given the following details of it:</p><p>"Revelation to the Holy Prophet remained suspended for quite some time, and it was such a period of deep grief and distress for him that he started going early to the tops of the mountains to throw himself down from them. But whenever he stood on the edge of a peak, the Angel Gabriel would appear and tell him that he was Allah's Prophet. This would console him and restore to him full peace of mind." (Ibn Jarir).</p><p>After this Imam Zuhri relates the following tradition on the authority of Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah:</p><p>"The Holy Messenger of Allah describing the period of <em>falrat al-wahi</em> (break in revelation) said: One day when I was passing on the way, I suddenly heard a call from heaven. I raised my head and saw that the same Angel who had visited me in the Cave of Hira was sitting on a throne between heaven and earth. This struck terror in my heart, and reaching home quickly, I said: 'Cover me up, cover me up'. So the people of the house covered me up with a quilt (or blanket). At that time Allah sent down the Revelation: <em>Ya ayyuhal-Muddaththiru..</em>. From then on revelation became intense and continuous." (Bukhari, Muslim Musnad Ahmad, Ibn Jarir).</p><p>The rest of the Surah (<a href="/74/8-56" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vv. 8-56</a>) was revealed when the first Hajj season came after public preaching of Islam had begun in Makkah. This has been fully well described in the <em>Sirah</em> by Ibn Hisham and we shall cite it below.</p><h2>Theme and Subject Matter</h2><p>As has been explained above, the earliest Revelation to the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) consisted of the first five verses of Surah Al-Alaq, in which it had been Said: "Read (O Prophet), in the name of your Lord, Who created: created man from a clot of congealed blood. Read: and your Lord is Most Generous, Who taught knowledge by the pen, taught man what he did not know."</p><p>This was the first experience of Revelation met with suddenly by the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace). in this message it was not told what great mission he had been entrusted with and what duties he had to perk form in future. He was only initiated into it and then left alone for a time so that the great strain this experience had caused should pass away and he should mentally become prepared to receive the Revelation and perform the prophetic mission in the future. After this intermission when Revelation Was resumed, the first seven verses of this Surah Were revealed:In these he Was for the first time commanded to arise and warn the people of the consequences of the way of life they were following and to proclaim the greatness of God in the world where others were being magnified without any right. Along with that he was given this instruction: The demand of the Unique mission that you have to perform, now is that your life should be pure in every respect and you should carry out the duty of reforming your people sincerely irrespective of any worldly gain. Then, in the last sentence, he was exhorted to endure with patience, for the sake of his Lord, all the hardships and troubles that he might have to face while performing his mission.</p><p>In the implementation of this Divine Command when the Holy Messenger of Allah began to preach Islam and recite the Qur'anic Surahs revealed successively, the people of Makkah felt alarmed, and it provoked a great storm of opposition and hostility. A few months passed in this state until the Hajj season approached. The people of Makkah feared that if Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace) started visiting the caravans of the pilgrims coming from all over Arabia at their halting places and reciting the spell binding and unique Revelations of the Qur'an in their assemblies on the occasion of Hajj, his message would reach every part of Arabia and influence countless people. Therefore, the Quraish chiefs held a conference and settled that they would start a propaganda campaign against the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) among the pilgrims as soon as they arrived.</p><p>After they had agreed on this, Walid bin al-Mughirah said to the assembled people: "If you said contradictory things about Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings), we all would lose our trust among the people. Therefore, let us agree upon one opinion, which we should all say without dispute.</p><p>Some people said that they would call Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) a soothsayer. Walid said: “No, by God, be is not a soothsayer. We have seen the soothsayers: what they murmur and what they utter has no remote resemblance with the Qur'an.”</p><p>Some other people said: “Then we say he is possessed.” Walid said: He is not a possessed one: we have seen mad and insane people; the way one talks disjointedly and behaves foolishly in that state is known to all: who would believe that what Muhammad (upon whom be peace) presented was the incoherent speech of a madman?”</p><p>The people said: “Then we say he is a poet.” Walid said: “No, he is not a poet, for we know poetry in all its forms, and what he presents conforms to no form of it.”</p><p>The people said: “Then he is a sorcerer.” Walid said: “He is no sorcerer either: we have seen sorcerers and we also know what methods they adopt for their sorcery. This also does not apply to Muhammad.”</p><p>Then he said: "Whichever of these things you said about Muhammad, it would be known to be a false accusation. By God, his speech is sweet, his root is deep and his branches are fruitful.” At this Abu Jahl urging on Walid said: “Your people will never be pleased with you unless you say something about Muhammad.” He said: “Let me think over it awhile.”</p><p>Then, after prolonged thought and consideration, he said: “The nearest thing to the truth is that you tell the Arabs that he is a sorcerer, who has brought a message by which he separates a man from his father; and from his brother, and from his wife and children, and from his family.” They all agreed on what Walid had proposed.</p><p>Then, according to a scheme the men of Quraish spread among the pilgrims in the Hajj season and they warned everyone they met of the sorcery of Muhammad (upon whom be peace) and of his stirring up divisions in the families by it." But the result was that by their this plan the Quraish chiefs themselves made the name of the Holy Messenger known throughout Arabia. (Ibn Hisham, pp. 288-289. That Walid had made this proposal on the insistence of Abu Jahl has been related by Ibn Jarir in his <em>Tafsir</em> on the authority of Ikrimah).</p><p>This same event has been reviewed and commented upon in the second section of this Surah. The sequence of its contents is as follows:</p><p>In <a href="/74/8-10" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vv. 8-10</a> the deniers of Truth have been warned, saying: "You will see the evil result of what you are doing today on the Resurrection Day."</p><p>In <a href="/74/11-26" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vv. 11-26</a>, without naming Walid bin al-Mughirah, it has been told how Allah had blessed him and how inimical he proved to be to true Faith. In this connection, his mental conflict has been portrayed, telling that, on the one hand, he was fully convinced of the truth of Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) and the Qur'an, but, on the other, he did not want to risk his leadership and position among his people. Therefore, not only he did not believe himself but after a long-drawn-out conflict with his conscience he also came out with the proposal that in order to restrain the people from believing the Qur'an should be branded as magic. After exposing his evil nature, it has been said: "Notwithstanding such evil inclinations and misdeeds, this person desires that he should be further blessed, whereas he has now become worthy of Hell, and never of further blessings."</p><p>In <a href="/74/27-48" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vv. 27-48</a>, the dreadfulness of Hell has been depicted and it has been explained as to people of what character and morals really deserve it.</p><p>In <a href="/74/49-53" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vv. 49-53</a>, the root cause of the disbelievers' aversion has been pointed out, saying: "Since they are fearless of the Hereafter, and look upon this worldly life as an end in itself, they flee from the Qur'an as though they were wild asses fleeing away from the lion: therefore, they propose unreasonable conditions for believing, whereas even if each and every condition of theirs was fulfilled, they could not advance even an inch on the way of Faith with their denial of the Hereafter."</p><p>In conclusion, it has been explicitly stated: Allah does not stand in need of anybody's faith that He may fulfill his conditions. The Qur'an is an admonition that has been presented before the people openly; now whoever wills may accept it. Allah has a right that the people should fear His disobedience and He alone has the power to forgive the one who adopts piety and an attitude of God consciousness even though one may have committed many acts of disobedience in the past.</p>

  1. Ayah 1

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ ۚ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

    ¡Alabado sea Dios, el Originador de los cielos y de la Tierra! Dispuso que los ángeles fuesen Sus enviados [para transmitir el Mensaje a Sus Profetas], dotados de dos, tres o cuatro alas. [Dios] aumenta en la creación a quien quiere. Dios tiene poder sobre todas las cosas.

  2. Ayah 2

    مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

    Nada ni nadie puede impedir que una misericordia de Dios alcance a la gente; pero si Él la retuviese, no hay nada ni nadie que pudiera hacer que les llegara. Él es el Poderoso, el Sabio.

  3. Ayah 3

    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ هَلْ مِنْ خَالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ

    ¡Oh, gente! Recuerden las bendiciones que Dios les ha concedido. ¿Acaso hay otro Creador además de Dios que los sustente de lo que hay en el cielo y en la Tierra? No hay nada ni nadie con derecho a ser adorado salvo Dios. ¿Por qué entonces se desvían?

  4. Ayah 4

    وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ۚ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ

    Si te desmienten [¡oh, Mujámmad!], ya antes de ti otros Mensajeros fueron desmentidos. Todos los asuntos vuelven a Dios.

  5. Ayah 5

    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ

    ¡Oh, gente! La promesa de Dios es verdadera. Que no los alucine la vida mundanal, y que el Seductor no los aparte de Dios.

  6. Ayah 6

    إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا ۚ إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ

    El demonio es para ustedes un enemigo, tómenlo como un enemigo; él seduce a sus seguidores para que sean de los moradores del Infierno.

  7. Ayah 7

    الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ

    Los que rechazan el Mensaje recibirán un castigo severo, mientras que los creyentes que obren rectamente obtendrán el perdón y una gran recompensa.

  8. Ayah 8

    أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ فَرَآهُ حَسَنًا ۖ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَاتٍ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ

    ¿Acaso a quien [el demonio] le hizo ver sus obras malas como buenas [es comparable a quien Dios ha guiado]? Dios decreta el desvío para quien Él quiere y guía a quien quiere. No te apenes [por la incredulidad de quienes te desmienten]. Dios sabe bien lo que hacen.

  9. Ayah 9

    وَاللَّهُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَسُقْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ النُّشُورُ

    Dios es Quien envía los vientos que conducen las nubes, y con ellas riega un territorio muerto. [Dios] da vida a la tierra árida con las lluvias; de igual manera será la resurrección.

  10. Ayah 10

    مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۖ وَمَكْرُ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ

    Quien desee el poder, debe saber que el poder absoluto pertenece solo a Dios. Hacia Él ascienden las buenas palabras y Él eleva las obras piadosas. Pero quienes se confabulen para hacer el mal tendrán un castigo severo, y sus planes fracasarán.

  11. Ayah 11

    وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ۚ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِ ۚ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِن مُّعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ

    Dios creó [a Adán] de la tierra, luego [a toda su descendencia] de un óvulo fecundado, luego los hace pares [hombre y mujer]. Ninguna mujer concibe ni da a luz sin que Él tenga conocimiento. A nadie se le alarga ni se le acorta la vida sin que ello conste en un Libro. Eso es fácil para Dios.

  12. Ayah 12

    وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِ هَـٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهَـٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ ۖ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا ۖ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

    Las dos masas de agua no son iguales: una es potable, dulce y agradable para beber; la otra es salobre. De ambas comen carne fresca y obtienen adornos con los que se engalanan. Ven al barco atravesarlas para buscar Su favor: sean agradecidos [con Dios].

  13. Ayah 13

    يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِن قِطْمِيرٍ

    [Dios] hace que la noche se funda en el día y que el día se funda en la noche, sometió el Sol y la Luna, cada uno transcurre por una órbita prefijada. Él es Dios, su Señor; Suyo es el reino, pero los ídolos que ustedes invocan fuera de Él no poseen absolutamente nada, ni siquiera el pellejo de un hueso de dátil.

  14. Ayah 14

    إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَاءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْ ۖ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ ۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ

    Si ustedes los invocan, no oyen su invocación, y si oyeran no podrían responder. El Día de la Resurrección negarán que los hayan adorado, y no te informará nadie como Dios, Quien está bien informado de todo.

  15. Ayah 15

    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

    ¡Oh, gente! Ustedes son los que necesitan de Dios, mientras que Dios es el que tiene domino absoluto y es digno de toda alabanza.

  16. Ayah 16

    إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

    Si Él quisiera, los haría desaparecer y crearía a otros seres [creyentes].

  17. Ayah 17

    وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ

    Eso no sería difícil para Dios.

  18. Ayah 18

    وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۚ وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۗ إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ ۚ وَمَن تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفْسِهِ ۚ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ

    Nadie cargará con culpas ajenas. Si [un pecador] pide que le ayuden con su carga [de pecados], nadie podrá ayudarle en nada, aunque fuera su pariente. [¡Oh, Mujámmad!] Solo se beneficia con tus advertencias quien teme a su Señor en su vida privada y practica la oración. Quien se purifica [de la idolatría y el pecado], lo hace en beneficio propio; y ante Dios comparecerán.

  19. Ayah 19

    وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ

    No son iguales el ciego y el que ve.

  20. Ayah 20

    وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُ

    Ni las tinieblas y la luz.

  21. Ayah 21

    وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَرُورُ

    Ni la frescura de la sombra y el calor del sol.

  22. Ayah 22

    وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَحْيَاءُ وَلَا الْأَمْوَاتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ وَمَا أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِي الْقُبُورِ

    No son iguales los vivos y los muertos. Dios hace oír [y aceptar el Mensaje] a quien quiere, pero tú no puedes hacer oír a quienes están [muertos de corazón como los que están muertos] en sus tumbas.

  23. Ayah 23

    إِنْ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ

    Tú solo eres un amonestador.

  24. Ayah 24

    إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ۚ وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ

    Te he enviado con la Verdad, como albriciador y amonestador; no hubo ninguna nación a la que no se le haya enviado un amonestador.

  25. Ayah 25

    وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَبِالزُّبُرِ وَبِالْكِتَابِ الْمُنِيرِ

    Pero si te desmienten, también desmintieron sus antecesores a Mis Mensajeros, que se les presentaron con pruebas y con las escrituras y el Libro luminoso.

  26. Ayah 26

    ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

    Entonces castigué a los que no creyeron, ¡y qué terrible fue Mi castigo!

  27. Ayah 27

    أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ ثَمَرَاتٍ مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهَا ۚ وَمِنَ الْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌ بِيضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ

    ¿Acaso no observas que Dios hace descender del cielo el agua, y que con ella hace brotar diversas clases de frutos, y que algunas montañas tienen vetas blancas, rojas y negras, de diversos colores,

  28. Ayah 28

    وَمِنَ النَّاسِ وَالدَّوَابِّ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ كَذَٰلِكَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ

    y que los seres humanos, los animales y los rebaños los hay de diversos colores? Los siervos que tienen más temor devocional de Dios son los sabios. Dios es Poderoso, Absolvedor.

  29. Ayah 29

    إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ تِجَارَةً لَّن تَبُورَ

    Quienes reciten el Libro de Dios, practiquen la oración y hagan caridades de aquello que les proveí, tanto en público como en secreto, recibirán una recompensa que jamás desaparecerá.

  30. Ayah 30

    لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدَهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

    Dios les retribuirá por sus obras y les concederá aún más de Su bendición, porque Él es Absolvedor, Recompensador.

  31. Ayah 31

    وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِعِبَادِهِ لَخَبِيرٌ بَصِيرٌ

    Lo que te he revelado del Libro [¡oh, Mujámmad!] es la Verdad que corrobora lo que ya había sido revelado anteriormente. Dios ve y sabe todo lo que hacen Sus siervos.

  32. Ayah 32

    ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ

    Luego hice que heredaran el Libro quienes elegí entre Mis siervos, pero entre ellos hay quienes son injustos consigo mismos [cometiendo pecados], otros que lo ponen en práctica con moderación, y otros que, con el permiso de Dios, se apresuran en hacer el bien. Eso es un favor inmenso.

  33. Ayah 33

    جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ

    Ingresarán por ello en los Jardines del Edén, allí serán engalanados con pulseras de oro y perlas, y sus vestiduras serán de seda.

  34. Ayah 34

    وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ ۖ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

    Y dirán: "¡Alabado sea Dios, que ha hecho desaparecer toda causa de tristeza! Nuestro Señor es Absolvedor, Recompensador.

  35. Ayah 35

    الَّذِي أَحَلَّنَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِن فَضْلِهِ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا لُغُوبٌ

    Nos recompensó con la morada eterna, y por Su gracia no padeceremos allí cansancio ni fatiga".

  36. Ayah 36

    وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يُقْضَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُم مِّنْ عَذَابِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي كُلَّ كَفُورٍ

    Pero quienes no hayan creído serán castigados con el fuego del Infierno, [allí] no morirán ni se les aliviará el tormento; así castigo a quienes rechazan [el Mensaje].

  37. Ayah 37

    وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ فِيهَا رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُم مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَكَّرَ وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ ۖ فَذُوقُوا فَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

    Allí clamarán: "¡Señor nuestro! Sácanos [del tormento] para que obremos rectamente, y no como lo hicimos". Pero, ¿acaso no les concedí vivir largamente donde podrían haberlo hecho, y no se les presentó un Mensajero [y lo rechazaron]? Sufran el castigo. Los injustos no tendrán quién los defienda.

  38. Ayah 38

    إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَالِمُ غَيْبِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

    Dios conoce lo oculto de los cielos y de la Tierra, y sabe bien lo que hay dentro de los corazones.

  39. Ayah 39

    هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَائِفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا مَقْتًا ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

    Él es Quien hizo que se sucedieran unos a otros en la Tierra. La incredulidad del que se niegue a creer será en su propia contra; y la incredulidad de los que se nieguen a creer no hará sino hacerlos más detestables ante su Señor, y la incredulidad de los que se nieguen a creer no hará sino aumentarles en perdición.

  40. Ayah 40

    قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ شُرَكَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَمْ آتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَابًا فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَتٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ بَلْ إِن يَعِدُ الظَّالِمُونَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا إِلَّا غُرُورًا

    Diles: "¿No se fijan en lo que adoran en vez de Dios? Muéstrenme qué han creado de la Tierra, ¿acaso participaron en la creación de los cielos? ¿O les concedí un libro en el que se basan para confirmar la idolatría?" La esperanza que los opresores se dan unos a otros no es más que un engaño.

  41. Ayah 41

    إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَن تَزُولَا ۚ وَلَئِن زَالَتَا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّن بَعْدِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا

    Dios es Quien contiene a los cielos y la Tierra para que no se desvíen [de su órbita], porque si se desviaran nadie los podría contener más que Él. Él es Tolerante, Absolvedor.

  42. Ayah 42

    وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لَئِن جَاءَهُمْ نَذِيرٌ لَّيَكُونُنَّ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْ إِحْدَى الْأُمَمِ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ نَذِيرٌ مَّا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّا نُفُورًا

    [Los incrédulos] juraron por Dios que si se les presentaba un [Profeta] amonestador, serían más encaminados que ninguna otra comunidad; pero cuando se les presentó un amonestador, no hicieron sino aumentar su rechazo.

  43. Ayah 43

    اسْتِكْبَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِ ۚ وَلَا يَحِيقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِ ۚ فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ۚ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَحْوِيلًا

    Fueron soberbios en la Tierra, y se confabularon [para apartar a la gente del camino recto], pero las confabulaciones recayeron sobre ellos mismos. ¿Es que no temen que les suceda como a sus predecesores? No habrá cambios en el designio de Dios.

  44. Ayah 44

    أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُ مِن شَيْءٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلِيمًا قَدِيرًا

    ¿Acaso no han viajado por el mundo y observaron cuál fue el fin de quienes los precedieron? Eran más poderosos que ellos [y aun así fueron castigados], pues nadie puede huir de Dios, ni en los cielos ni en la Tierra. Él lo sabe todo y tiene poder sobre todas las cosas.

  45. Ayah 45

    وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيرًا

    Si Dios castigara a la gente [inmediatamente] por sus pecados, no dejaría ninguna criatura sobre la faz de la Tierra. Por Su voluntad les da una prórroga hasta un plazo fijado; pero cuando llegue el plazo, Dios [los juzgará porque] está bien enterado de todo lo que hacen.

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs are the later Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed in Medina after the Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. They were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
