1 Ha - Mim.

1 Hameem

2 By the Book that makes things clear; -

2 Waalkitabi almubeeni

3 We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).

3 Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena

4 In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,

4 Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin

5 By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),

5 Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena

6 As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);

6 Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

7 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.

7 Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

8 There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death, - The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.

8 La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

9 Yet they play about in doubt.

9 Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona

10 Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,

10 Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin

11 Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.

11 Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun

12 (They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"

12 Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona

13 How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them, -

13 Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun

14 Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"

14 Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun

15 We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).

15 Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona

16 One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!

16 Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona

17 We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,

17 Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun

18 Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah: I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust;

18 An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

19 "And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.

19 Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin

20 "For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.

20 Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni

21 "If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."

21 Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni

22 (But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."

22 FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona

23 (The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.

23 Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona

24 "And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."

24 Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona

25 How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,

25 Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin

26 And corn - fields and noble buildings,

26 WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin

27 And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!

27 WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena

28 Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!

28 Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena

29 And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).

29 Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena

30 We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,

30 Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni

31 Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.

31 Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena

32 And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,

32 Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena

33 And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial

33 Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun

34 As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:

34 Inna haolai layaqooloona

35 "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.

35 In hiya illa mawtatuna aloola wama nahnu bimunshareena

36 "Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"

36 Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena

37 What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.

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

38 We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:

38 Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

39 We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.

39 Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

40 Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them, -

40 Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena

41 The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,

41 Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona

42 Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

42 Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

43 Verily the tree of Zaqqum

43 Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi

44 Will be the food of the Sinful, -

44 TaAAamu alatheemi

45 Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.

45 Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni

46 Like the boiling of scalding water.

46 Kaghalyi alhameemi

47 (A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!

47 Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi

48 "Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water,

48 Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi

49 "Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!

49 Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu

50 "Truly this is what ye used to doubt!"

50 Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona

51 As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security,

51 Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin

52 Among Gardens and Springs;

52 Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

53 Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other;

53 Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena

54 So; and We shall join them to fair women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.

54 Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

55 There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security;

55 YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena

56 Nor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire, -

56 La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi

57 As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement!

57 Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

58 Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.

58 Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona

59 So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting.

59 Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona
