Al Dukhan

Shakir

1 Ha Mim!

Shakir

2 I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).

Shakir

3 Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning - -

Shakir

4 Therein every wise affair is made distinct,

Shakir

5 A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),

Shakir

6 A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

Shakir

7 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.

Shakir

8 There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.

Shakir

9 Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.

Shakir

10 Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,

Shakir

11 That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.

Shakir

12 Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.

Shakir

13 How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),

Shakir

14 Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.

Shakir

15 Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).

Shakir

16 On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.

Shakir

17 And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,

Shakir

18 Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,

Shakir

19 And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:

Shakir

20 And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:

Shakir

21 And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.

Shakir

22 Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.

Shakir

23 So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:

Shakir

24 And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.

Shakir

25 How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!

Shakir

26 And cornfields and noble places!

Shakir

27 And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;

Shakir

28 Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.

Shakir

29 So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.

Shakir

30 And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,

Shakir

31 From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.

Shakir

32 And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.

Shakir

33 And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.

Shakir

34 Most surely these do say:

Shakir

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

Shakir

36 So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.

Shakir

37 Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

Shakir

38 And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.

Shakir

39 We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.

Shakir

40 Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them

Shakir

41 The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,

Shakir

42 Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.

Shakir

43 Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,

Shakir

44 Is the food of the sinful

Shakir

45 Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,

Shakir

46 Like the boiling of hot water.

Shakir

47 Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;

Shakir

48 Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water:

Shakir

49 Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:

Shakir

50 Surely this is what you disputed about.

Shakir

51 Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place,

Shakir

52 In gardens and springs;

Shakir

53 They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face;

Shakir

54 Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.

Shakir

55 They shall call therein for every fruit in security;

Shakir

56 They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,

Shakir

57 A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.

Shakir

58 So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.

Shakir

59 Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
