    Read the passage · Al-Muzzammil

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ١

    O you who wraps himself [in clothing],

    قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا٢

    Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -

    نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا٣

    Half of it - or subtract from it a little

    أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا٤

    Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.

    إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًۭا ثَقِيلًا٥

    Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.

    إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًۭٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا٦

    Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.

    إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًۭا طَوِيلًۭا٧

    Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.

    وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًۭا٨

    And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

    رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًۭا٩

    [He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.

    وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًۭا جَمِيلًۭا١٠

    And be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.

    وَذَرْنِى وَٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُو۟لِى ٱلنَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا١١

    And leave Me with [the matter of] the deniers, those of ease [in life], and allow them respite a little.

    إِنَّ لَدَيْنَآ أَنكَالًۭا وَجَحِيمًۭا١٢

    Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire

    وَطَعَامًۭا ذَا غُصَّةٍۢ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًۭا١٣

    And food that chokes and a painful punishment -

    يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًۭا مَّهِيلًا١٤

    On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

    إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًۭا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًۭا١٥

    Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

    فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ أَخْذًۭا وَبِيلًۭا١٦

    But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.

    فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًۭا يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوِلْدَٰنَ شِيبًا١٧

    Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white- haired?

    ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرٌۢ بِهِۦ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَفْعُولًا١٨

    The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.

    إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا١٩

    Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.

    ۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَىِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍۢ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًۭا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًۭا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۢ٢٠

    Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

  2. Jumu'ah

    Al-Jumu'a and Al-Ghaashiya

    Imam: Bandar Baleelah

    Read the passage · Al-Jumu'a

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ١

    Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

    هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّۦنَ رَسُولًۭا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ٢

    It is He who has sent among the unlettered a Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom - although they were before in clear error -

    وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِمْ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ٣

    And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

    ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ٤

    That is the bounty of Allah, which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.

    مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًۢا ۚ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ٥

    The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

    قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓا۟ إِن زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ٦

    Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah, excluding the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."

    وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُۥٓ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ٧

    But they will not wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

    قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَٰقِيكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ٨

    Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ٩

    O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

    فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ فَٱنتَشِرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ١٠

    And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah, and remember Allah often that you may succeed.

    وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ تِجَٰرَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا ٱنفَضُّوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمًۭا ۚ قُلْ مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَٰرَةِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ١١

    But when they saw a transaction or a diversion, [O Muhammad], they rushed to it and left you standing. Say, "What is with Allah is better than diversion and than a transaction, and Allah is the best of providers."

    Read the passage · Al-Ghaashiya

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ١

    Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

    وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ٢

    [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,

    عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ٣

    Working [hard] and exhausted.

    تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ٤

    They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

    تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ٥

    They will be given drink from a boiling spring.

    لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ٦

    For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant

    لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ٧

    Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.

    وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ٨

    [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.

    لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ٩

    With their effort [they are] satisfied

    فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ١٠

    In an elevated garden,

    لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ١١

    Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.

    فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ١٢

    Within it is a flowing spring.

    فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ١٣

    Within it are couches raised high

    وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ١٤

    And cups put in place

    وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ١٥

    And cushions lined up

    وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ١٦

    And carpets spread around.

    أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ١٧

    Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?

    وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ١٨

    And at the sky - how it is raised?

    وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ١٩

    And at the mountains - how they are erected?

    وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ٢٠

    And at the earth - how it is spread out?

    فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ٢١

    So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.

    لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ٢٢

    You are not over them a controller.

    إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ٢٣

    However, he who turns away and disbelieves -

    فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ٢٤

    Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

    إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ٢٥

    Indeed, to Us is their return.

    ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم٢٦

    Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

  3. Maghrib

  4. Isha

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently. The live tracker's ayat begin on 25 September 2026; for earlier days this page shows the Haramain library's records.

Look up a day

Hijri date

Where this comes from

Each prayer's imam, passage and recording are listed by the Haramain library, Tilawat al-Haramain (tilawatalharamain.com), usually within a few hours of the prayer. Its titles are written by hand; Hasanah reads the surahs and ayat from them.

The ayat by rak'ah come from Hasanah's live tracker, which listens to the Quran channel's broadcast from the Haram and names each ayah as it is recited. It has kept them since 25 September 2026. It can miss an ayah or mishear one, so a passage it heard may be a little shorter or longer than the one recited.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently, so there is no recitation to show for them. Times are calculated for Makkah by the Umm al-Qura method.
