The word Al-muzzammil ( Arabic: المزمل) in Quran is the name that Allah gives to our beloved prophet ” Muhammed”, peace be upon him, at the beginning of surah muzzammil, that name means the carefully covered or enfolded one.
On the night of the glory in Heraa, the messenger of revelation from our God ” Gabriel” appears in his real angel appearance for the first time to our prophet” Muhammed” PBUH.
When you hear the word angel, you could imagine his appearance as a man with two feathery archangels, but that isn’t what we are talking about!
The revelation angel, Gabriel, was an enormous and very powerful angel with 600 archangels each one spreads between east and west, he came closer to our prophet then asked him to read, our prophet was shocked and didn’t know what to read, he said” I couldn’t read”, Gabriel clasped our prophet tightly then lose him and asked him to read again, our prophet was trembling he returned to Khadiga, beloved wife and the mother of believers, and asked her to cover him more and more.

surah muzammil mishary
When was surah muzammil revealed?
For the first while, you might think that the time of the revelation of surah al muzammil is the time when our prophet saw Gabriel in his angel-look for the first time, but in fact, it doesn’t!
According to Hadith scholars, the period of the revelation of surah Muzzammil is divided into two periods:
- The first period:(1-19 verses)
This period is composed of three parts and they all were in Makkah:
- the first part is the earliest part of the prophethood where our prophet was surrounded by a little number of believers, he was in great need of support, Our god instructed him to keep praying at night(Tahajud) as much as he could to be able to bear the heavy responsibilities of prophethood.
- In the second part, our holy god ordered Muhammed PBUH to recite Qur’an, that’s meaning to read loudly in a simple, straightforwardly way, and beautiful sounds from what you have in your memory or by reading from the Holy Qur’an.
- Thirdly, Allah knows what disbelievers did to our prophet PBUH,
They insulted, tortured, and pretended bad things about him and his friends, here our prophet started to raise the words of Allah loudly against the infidels of Quraish, Allah urged our prophet to be patient against what they did.
- The second period:(vers no 20)
This part is most likely to be in Madinah, according to Islamic scholars said because here Allah is talking about fighting in the name of Allah(Jihad) and this was in Madinah, not Makkah.
Why was surah muzammil revealed?
According to what we previously talked about, we could understand why surah muzzammil was revealed:
- Allah urged our beloved prophet PBUH to pray at night, and throughout the verses, Allah showed to us how far praying and reciting Qur’an at night is important to have the strength and patience to face the difficulties of life and achieve the success that you aim to have.
- In the last verse, Allah commands the Muslims to give the obligatory payments from their wealth which is called zakah, which means rich people give poor people according to Islamic limits, which is called Nisab.
Zakah is the purification of your wealth and also your soul and keeps the integrity of the Islamic community, where the rich people help poor people by the command of Allah.
What are the benefits of surah muzzammil?
You might be heard many statements about the benefits of surah al muzzammil and claimed to be said by the prophet Muhammed PBUH, but according to hadith scholars there aren’t, but that doesn’t mean there are no benefits of these Holly words, every word of the Qur’an has its own benefit.
Now we will mention some of those benefits and lessons:
The Spiritual and Physical Benefits of Nightly Prayer

The Lesson of Perseverance: The term “Muzzammil” signifies the Prophet’s early struggles and sacrifices in fulfilling his divine mission. This serves as a powerful reminder that achieving our goals often requires perseverance and overcoming challenges.
The Secrets of Nightly Prayer: Allah commanded the Prophet to perform Tahajjud regularly, highlighting its unique spiritual significance. This practice is believed to foster a deeper connection with the divine and unlock spiritual insights that are often missed during the day.

Divine Patience and Strength: Engaging in nightly prayer is a source of divine patience and strength. It helps individuals endure life’s challenges with resilience and trust in Allah’s plan.
The Legacy of the Prophet: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made countless sacrifices to spread Islam. His unwavering dedication and leadership make him a beloved figure and a role model for Muslims worldwide.
The Wisdom of Nightly Quran Recitation: Reciting the Quran at night enhances understanding and appreciation of its profound messages. This practice fosters a deeper connection with the divine word and its guidance.
The Consequences of Disbelief: Those who persecuted the Prophet and the early believers will face severe punishment in the Hereafter. Their disbelief and cruelty will be met with just retribution.

Surah Muzzammil Tafseer
In the beginning, we will talk about the Tafseer of the Qur’an meaning, its importance, and the most important Tafseer books
what is the meaning of Tafseer?
Tafseer is an Arabic word that means the explanation and clarification of the words of Allah and the most important Islamic science.
The importance of Tafseer:
firstly, during the life of our beloved prophet Muhammed PBUH, our prophet explained the meaning and aims of the words that were revealed to him, and after his death PBUH his companions transfer all that he said to them, but later and through the years there were many commentators and different stories that enhance our scientist to concur and establish the sciences of Islam and Tafseer is one of them.
ٍsome important Tafseer books that could help:
- Tafseer Al-jalalayn
- Tafseer Al-Muyassar
Now, we will begin to explain the verses of Allah according to Tafseer al Muyasser:
- verses(1-10)The command of praying night
1- Allah called Muhammed PBUH, the enshrouded one.
2-Allah gives him a command to pray at night except for little time he could rest
3-or to pray half-night or to decrease than half.
4- or to increase as he can and keep reciting Qur’an in a measured recitation.
5- Allah will reveal to you heavy words.
6-certainly, praying at night is the most impactful for yourself and the best for recitation.
7-certainly, you have in the day prolonged responsibilities.
8-And remember the name of your God and devote yourself to Allah with all your heart.
9-The Lord of earth and west, the only Lord worths to be worshiped, so take him as the only one who handles all your affairs.
10-Be patient about what they always say, and beautifully leave them.
- Verses(11-19)the torment of deniers
11-And leave me with deniers with luxury and reprieve them for a little.
12-Certainly we had fetters and burning hell.
13-And food that makes them choke and painful torment.
14- on that day when the earth and mountains will shiver and the mountains turn into loose hills of sand.
15 -certainly we send a messenger as an observer exactly as we send a messenger to pharao.
16-Pharao disobey the messenger so Allah tormentedly grasped him.
17-So how would you avoid that day, when the child turned into white hair person.
18-the sky will be cracked on that day due to horrors, that’s what Allah promises to fulfill.
19-that’s a reminder to those who want to take the way to Allah.
- Verse 20 mitigation of night pray
Allah knows that you(Muhammed PBUH) stand to pray for two-thirds of the night, half, or third of it and so do some people with you, and Allah determines the exact amount of time of night and day but he knows you can’t do so he accepts your seeking for forgiveness, so read Qur’an as you can, Allah knows that some of you will be ill, others will be working to get sustenance by the grace of Allah, and others are fighting in the route of Allah, so read as you can from Qur’an, stand to pray, give the obligatory Zakah, a give Allah a good loan, and every good you will do to your self will be back by Allah better than what you did and greatest than what you deserve, and asking Allah for forgiveness because he is forgiving and merciful.
surah muzammil in English
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
O thou folded in garments!
Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,-
Half of it,- or a little less,
Or a little more; and recite the Qur´an in slow, measured rhythmic tones.
Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.
Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).
True, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties:
But keep in remembrance the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him whole-heartedly.
(He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs.
And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity).
And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while.
With Us are Fetters (to bind them), and a Fire (to burn them),
And a Food that chokes, and a Penalty Grievous.
One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion. And the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down.
We have sent to you, (O men!) a messenger, to be a witness concerning you, even as We sent a messenger to Pharaoh.
But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger; so We seized him with a heavy Punishment.
Then how shall ye, if ye deny (Allah), guard yourselves against a Day that will make children hoary-headed?-
Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be accomplished.
Verily this is an Admonition: therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to his Lord!
Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur´an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah´s bounty; yet others fighting in Allah´s Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur´an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah´s Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
