Summary

Surah Al-Muzzammil addresses the Prophet ﷺ directly—‘Enshrouded one’—embedding empathy as he wraps himself after intense revelation experiences. He is lovingly commanded to stand in Tahajjud (night prayer), recite the Quran patiently, and prepare for the weighty burden of Prophethood. The Surah balances devotion with practicality, easing obligatory worship over time. It concludes by urging believers to pray, give charity, seek forgiveness, and entrust Allah with their affairs.
