1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Ha. Mim.

1 Hameem

2 By the Scripture that maketh plain

2 Waalkitabi almubeeni

3 Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -

3 Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena

4 Whereon every wise command is made clear

4 Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin

5 As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending -

5 Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena

6 A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower,

6 Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

7 Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.

7 Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

8 There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.

8 La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

9 Nay, but they play in doubt.

9 Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona

10 But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke

10 Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin

11 That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.

11 Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun

12 (Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.

12 Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona

13 How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,

13 Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun

14 And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman ?

14 Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun

15 Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).

15 Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona

16 On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.

16 Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona

17 And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,

17 Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun

18 Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.

18 An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

19 And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.

19 Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin

20 And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.

20 Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni

21 And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.

21 Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni

22 And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.

22 FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona

23 Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,

23 Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona

24 And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.

24 Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona

25 How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,

25 Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin

26 And the cornlands and the goodly sites

26 WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin

27 And pleasant things wherein they took delight!

27 WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena

28 Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;

28 Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena

29 And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

29 Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena

30 And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;

30 Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni

31 (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.

31 Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena

32 And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.

32 Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena

33 And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.

33 Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun

34 Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:

34 Inna haolai layaqooloona

35 There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again.

35 In hiya illa mawtatuna aloola wama nahnu bimunshareena

36 Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!

36 Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena

37 Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them ? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

37 Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin waallatheena min qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeena

38 And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.

38 Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

39 We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.

39 Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

40 Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,

40 Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena

41 A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,

41 Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona

42 Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

42 Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

43 Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,

43 Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi

44 The food of the sinner!

44 TaAAamu alatheemi

45 Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

45 Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni

46 As the seething of boiling water.

46 Kaghalyi alhameemi

47 (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,

47 Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi

48 Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.

48 Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi

49 (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

49 Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu

50 Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

50 Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona

51 Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.

51 Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin

52 Amid gardens and watersprings,

52 Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

53 Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.

53 Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena

54 Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.

54 Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

55 They call therein for every fruit in safety.

55 YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena

56 They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,

56 La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi

57 A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.

57 Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

58 And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.

58 Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona

59 Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting.

59 Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona
