Chapter 44, 59 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Ha. Mim.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم حم
Hameem
By the Scripture that maketh plain
والكتاب المبين
Waalkitabi almubeeni
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -
إنا أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة ۚ إنا كنا منذرين
Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena
Whereon every wise command is made clear
فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم
Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin
As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending -
أمرا من عندنا ۚ إنا كنا مرسلين
Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena
A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower,
رحمة من ربك ۚ إنه هو السميع العليم
Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.
رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما ۖ إن كنتم موقنين
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena
There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.
لا إله إلا هو يحيي ويميت ۖ ربكم ورب آبائكم الأولين
La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena
Nay, but they play in doubt.
بل هم في شك يلعبون
Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona
But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke
فارتقب يوم تأتي السماء بدخان مبين
Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.
يغشى الناس ۖ هذا عذاب أليم
Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun
(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.
ربنا اكشف عنا العذاب إنا مؤمنون
Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,
أنى لهم الذكرى وقد جاءهم رسول مبين
Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun
And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman ?
ثم تولوا عنه وقالوا معلم مجنون
Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun
Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).
إنا كاشفو العذاب قليلا ۚ إنكم عائدون
Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.
يوم نبطش البطشة الكبرى إنا منتقمون
Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona
And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,
۞ ولقد فتنا قبلهم قوم فرعون وجاءهم رسول كريم
Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun
Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.
أن أدوا إلي عباد الله ۖ إني لكم رسول أمين
An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun
And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.
وأن لا تعلوا على الله ۖ إني آتيكم بسلطان مبين
Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin
And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.
وإني عذت بربي وربكم أن ترجمون
Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni
And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.
وإن لم تؤمنوا لي فاعتزلون
Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni
And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.
فدعا ربه أن هؤلاء قوم مجرمون
FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona
Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,
فأسر بعبادي ليلا إنكم متبعون
Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona
And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.
واترك البحر رهوا ۖ إنهم جند مغرقون
Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona
How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,
كم تركوا من جنات وعيون
Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin
And the cornlands and the goodly sites
وزروع ومقام كريم
WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin
And pleasant things wherein they took delight!
ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين
WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena
Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;
كذلك ۖ وأورثناها قوما آخرين
Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
فما بكت عليهم السماء والأرض وما كانوا منظرين
Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;
ولقد نجينا بني إسرائيل من العذاب المهين
Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.
من فرعون ۚ إنه كان عاليا من المسرفين
Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.
ولقد اخترناهم على علم على العالمين
Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.
وآتيناهم من الآيات ما فيه بلاء مبين
Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun
Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:
إن هؤلاء ليقولون
Inna haolai layaqooloona
There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
إن هي إلا موتتنا الأولى وما نحن بمنشرين
In hiya illa mawtatuna aloola wama nahnu bimunshareena
Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!
فأتوا بآبائنا إن كنتم صادقين
Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them ? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
أهم خير أم قوم تبع والذين من قبلهم ۚ أهلكناهم ۖ إنهم كانوا مجرمين
Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin waallatheena min qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeena
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.
وما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين
Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena
We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.
ما خلقناهما إلا بالحق ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona
Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,
إن يوم الفصل ميقاتهم أجمعين
Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena
A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,
يوم لا يغني مولى عن مولى شيئا ولا هم ينصرون
Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona
Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
إلا من رحم الله ۚ إنه هو العزيز الرحيم
Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,
إن شجرت الزقوم
Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi
The food of the sinner!
طعام الأثيم
TaAAamu alatheemi
Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies
كالمهل يغلي في البطون
Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni
As the seething of boiling water.
كغلي الحميم
Kaghalyi alhameemi
(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,
خذوه فاعتلوه إلى سواء الجحيم
Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi
Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.
ثم صبوا فوق رأسه من عذاب الحميم
Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi
(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!
ذق إنك أنت العزيز الكريم
Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu
Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.
إن هذا ما كنتم به تمترون
Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona
Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.
إن المتقين في مقام أمين
Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin
Amid gardens and watersprings,
في جنات وعيون
Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin
Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.
يلبسون من سندس وإستبرق متقابلين
Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena
Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.
كذلك وزوجناهم بحور عين
Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin
They call therein for every fruit in safety.
يدعون فيها بكل فاكهة آمنين
YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena
They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,
لا يذوقون فيها الموت إلا الموتة الأولى ۖ ووقاهم عذاب الجحيم
La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi
A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.
فضلا من ربك ۚ ذلك هو الفوز العظيم
Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu
And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.
فإنما يسرناه بلسانك لعلهم يتذكرون
Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona
Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting.
فارتقب إنهم مرتقبون
Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona
