<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>

    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

  2. Ayah 2

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

    Ce qu'Allah accorde en miséricorde aux gens, il n'est personne à pouvoir le retenir. Et ce qu'Il retient, il n'est personne à le relâcher après Lui. Et c'est Lui le Puissant, le Sage.

  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

    O hommes! Rappelez-vous le bienfait d'Allah sur vous: existe-t-il en dehors d'Allah, un créateur qui du ciel et de la terre vous attribue votre subsistance? Point de divinité à part Lui! Comment pouvez-vous vous détourner [de cette vérité]?

  4. Ayah 4

    وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ ۚ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ

    Et s'ils te traitent de menteur, certes on a traité de menteurs des Messagers avant toi. Vers Allah cependant, tout est ramené.

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

    O hommes! La promesse d'Allah est vérité. Ne laissez pas la vie présente vous tromper, et que le grand trompeur (Satan) ne vous trompe pas à propos d'Allah!

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

    Le Diable est pour vous un ennemi. Prenez-le donc pour ennemi. Il ne fait qu'appeler ses partisans pour qu'ils soient des gens de la Fournaise.

  7. Ayah 7

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

    Ceux qui ont mécru auront un dur châtiment, tandis que ceux qui croient et accomplissent les bonnes œuvres auront un pardon et une grosse récompense.

  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

    Eh quoi! Celui à qui on a enjolivé sa mauvaise action au point qu'il la voit belle...? - Mais Allah égare qui Il veut, et guide qui Il veut - Que ton âme ne se répande donc pas en regrets pour eux: Allah est Parfaitement Savant de ce qu'ils fabriquent.

  9. Ayah 9

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

    Et c'est Allah qui envoie les vents qui soulèvent un nuage que Nous poussons ensuite vers une contrée morte; puis, Nous redonnons la vie à la terre après sa mort. C'est ainsi que se fera la Résurrection!

  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

    Quiconque veut la puissance (qu'il la cherche auprès d'Allah) car la puissance tout entière est à Allah: vers Lui monte la bonne parole, et Il élève haut la bonne action. Et quand à ceux qui complotent de mauvaises actions, ils auront un dur châtiment. Cependant, leur stratagème est voué à l'échec.

  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

    Et Allah vous a créés de terre, puis d'une goutte de sperme, Il vous a ensuite établis en couples. Nulle femelle ne porte ni ne met bas sans qu'Il le sache. Et aucune existence n'est prolongée ou abrégée sans que cela soit consigné dans un livre. Cela est vraiment facile pour Allah.

  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

    Les deux mers ne sont pas identiques: [l'eau de] celle-ci est potable, douce et agréable à boire, et celle-là est salée, amère. Cependant de chacune vous mangez une chair fraîche, et vous extrayez un ornement que vous portez. Et tu vois le vaisseau fendre l'eau avec bruit, pour que vous cherchiez certains [des produits] de Sa grâce. Peut-être serez-vous reconnaissants!

  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

    Il fait que la nuit pénètre le jour et que le jour pénètre la nuit. Et Il a soumis le soleil et la lune. Chacun d'eux s'achemine vers un terme fixé. Tel est Allah, votre Seigneur: à Lui appartient la royauté, tandis que ceux que vous invoquez, en dehors de Lui, ne sont même pas maîtres de la pellicule d'un noyau de datte.

  14. Ayah 14

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

    Si vous les invoquez, ils n'entendent pas votre invocation; et même s'ils entendaient, ils ne sauraient vous répondre. Et le jour du Jugement ils vont nier votre association. Nul ne peut te donner des nouvelles comme Celui qui est parfaitement informé.

  15. Ayah 15

    يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

    O hommes, vous êtes les indigents ayant besoin d'Allah, et c'est Allah, Lui qui se dispense de tout et Il est Le Digne de louange.

  16. Ayah 16

    إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

    S'Il voulait, Il vous ferait disparaître, et ferait surgir une nouvelle création.

  17. Ayah 17

    وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ

    Et cela n'est point difficile pour Allah.

  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

    Or, personne ne portera le fardeau d'autrui. Et si une âme surchargée [de péchés] appelle à l'aide, rien de sa charge ne sera supporté par une autre même si c'est un proche parent. Tu n'avertis en fait, que ceux qui craignent leur Seigneur malgré qu'ils ne Le voient pas, et qui accomplissent la Salât. Et quiconque se purifie ne se purifie que pour lui-même, et vers Allah est la destination.

  19. Ayah 19

    وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ

    L'aveugle et celui qui voit ne sont pas semblables,

  20. Ayah 20

    وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُ

    ni les ténèbres et la lumière,

  21. Ayah 21

    وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الْحَرُورُ

    ni l'ombre et la chaleur ardente.

  22. Ayah 22

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

    De même, ne sont pas semblables les vivants et les morts. Allah fait entendre qui Il veut, alors que toi [Muhammad], tu ne peux faire entendre ceux qui sont dans les tombeaux.

  23. Ayah 23

    إِنْ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ

    Tu n'es qu'un avertisseur.

  24. Ayah 24

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

    Nous t'avons envoyé avec la Vérité en tant qu'annonciateur et avertisseur. Il n'est pas une nation qui n'ait déjà eu un avertisseur.

  25. Ayah 25

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

    Et s'ils te traitent de menteur, eh bien, ceux d'avant eux avaient traité (leurs Messagers) de menteurs, cependant que leurs Messagers leur avaient apporté les preuves, les Ecrits et le Livre illuminant.

  26. Ayah 26

    ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

    Puis J'ai saisi ceux qui ont mécru. Et quelle réprobation fut la Mienne!

  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

    N'as-tu pas vu que, du ciel, Allah fait descendre l'eau? Puis Nous en faisons sortir des fruits de couleurs différentes. Et dans les montagnes, il y a des sillons blancs et rouges, de couleurs différentes, et des roches excessivement noires.

  28. Ayah 28

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

    Il y a pareillement des couleurs différentes, parmi les hommes, les animaux, et les bestiaux. Parmi Ses serviteurs, seuls les savants craignent Allah. Allah est, certes, Puissant et Pardonneur.

  29. Ayah 29

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

    Ceux qui récitent le Livre d'Allah, accomplissent la Salât, et dépensent, en secret et en public de ce que Nous leur avons attribué, espèrent ainsi faire un commerce qui ne périra jamais,

  30. Ayah 30

    لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدَهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

    afin [qu'Allah] les récompense pleinement et leur ajoute de Sa grâce. Il est Pardonneur et Reconnaissant.

  31. Ayah 31

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

    Et ce que Nous t'avons révélé du Livre est la Vérité confirmant ce qui l'a précédé. Certes Allah est Parfaitement Connaisseur et Clairvoyant sur Ses serviteurs.

  32. Ayah 32

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

    Ensuite, Nous fîmes héritiers du Livre ceux de Nos serviteurs que Nous avons choisis. Il en est parmi eux qui font du tort à eux-mêmes, d'autres qui se tiennent sur une voie moyenne, et d'autres avec la permission d'Allah devancent [tous les autres] par leurs bonnes actions; telle est la grâce infinie

  33. Ayah 33

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

    Les jardins d'Eden où ils entreront, parés de bracelets en or ainsi que de perles; et là, leurs vêtements sont de soie.

  34. Ayah 34

    وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ ۖ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

    Et ils diront: «Louange à Allah qui a écarté de nous l'affliction. Notre Seigneur est certes Pardonneur et Reconnaissant.

  35. Ayah 35

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

    C'est Lui qui nous a installés, par Sa grâce, dans la Demeure de la stabilité, où nulle fatigue, nulle lassitude ne nous touchent».

  36. Ayah 36

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

    Et ceux qui ont mécru auront le feu de l'Enfer: on ne les achève pas pour qu'ils meurent; on ne leur allège rien de ses tourments. C'est ainsi que Nous récompensons tout négateur obstiné.

  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

    Et là, ils hurleront: «Seigneur, fais-nous sortir; nous ferons le bien, contrairement à ce que nous faisions». «Ne vous avons-Nous pas donné une vie assez longue pour que celui qui réfléchit réfléchisse? L'avertisseur, cependant, vous était venu. Et bien, goûtez (votre punition). Car pour les injustes, il n'y a pas de secoureur».

  38. Ayah 38

    إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَالِمُ غَيْبِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

    Allah connaît l'Inconnaissable dans les cieux et la terre. Il connaît le contenu des poitrines.

  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

    C'est Lui qui a fait de vous des successeurs sur terre. Quiconque mécroit, sa mécréance retombera sur lui. Leur mécréance n'ajoute aux mécréants qu'opprobre auprès de leur Seigneur. Leur mécréance n'ajoute que perte aux mécréants.

  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

    Dis: «Voyez-vous vos associés que vous invoquez en dehors d'Allah? Montrez-moi ce qu'ils ont créé de la terre. Ont-ils été associés à la création des cieux? Ou leur avons-Nous apporté un Livre qui contienne des preuves [pour ce qu'ils font?]» Non! Mais ce n'est qu'en tromperie que les injustes se font des promesses les uns aux autres.

  41. Ayah 41

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

    Allah retient les cieux et la terre pour qu'ils ne s'affaissent pas. Et s'ils s'affaissaient, nul autre après Lui ne pourra les retenir. Il est Indulgent et Pardonneur.

  42. Ayah 42

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

    Et ils ont juré solennellement par Allah, que si un avertisseur leur venait, ils seraient certes mieux guidés que n'importe quelle autre communauté. Puis, quand un avertisseur (Muhammad) leur est venu, cela n'a fait qu'accroître leur répulsion,

  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

    par orgueil sur terre et par manœuvre perfide. Cependant, la manœuvre perfide n'enveloppe que ses propres auteurs. Attendent-ils donc un autre sort que celui des Anciens? Or, jamais tu ne trouveras de changement dans la règle d'Allah et jamais tu ne trouveras de déviation dans la règle d'Allah.

  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

    N'ont-ils donc jamais parcouru la terre pour voir ce qu'il est advenu de ceux qui vécurent avant eux et qui étaient plus puissants qu'eux? Et rien, dans les cieux ni sur terre ne saurait réduire l'autorité d'Allah. Car Il est certes Omniscient, Omnipotent.

  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

    Et si Allah s'en prenait aux gens pour ce qu'ils acquièrent, Il ne laisserait à la surface [de la terre] aucun être vivant. Mais Il leur donne un délai jusqu'à un terme fixé. Puis quand leur terme viendra... (Il se saisira d'eux) car Allah est Très Clairvoyant sur Ses serviteurs.

About the Quran

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.
