Chapter 44, 59 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ha.-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
Hameem
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم حم
By the manifest Book (this Qur'an) that makes things clear.
Waalkitabi almubeeni
والكتاب المبين
We sent it (this Qur'an) down on a blessed night [(i.e. night of Al-Qadr, Surah No. 97) in the month of Ramadan - the 9th month of the Islamic calendar]. Verily, We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship].
Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena
إنا أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة ۚ إنا كنا منذرين
Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments.
Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin
فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم
As a Command (or this Qur'an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers),
Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena
أمرا من عندنا ۚ إنا كنا مرسلين
(As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu
رحمة من ربك ۚ إنه هو السميع العليم
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you (but) have a faith with certainty.
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena
رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما ۖ إن كنتم موقنين
La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). It is He Who gives life and causes death - your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena
لا إله إلا هو يحيي ويميت ۖ ربكم ورب آبائكم الأولين
Nay! They play about in doubt.
Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona
بل هم في شك يلعبون
Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke,
Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin
فارتقب يوم تأتي السماء بدخان مبين
Covering the people: this is a painful torment.
Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun
يغشى الناس ۖ هذا عذاب أليم
(They will say): "Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!"
Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona
ربنا اكشف عنا العذاب إنا مؤمنون
How can there be for them an admonition (at the time when the torment has reached them), when a Messenger explaining things clearly has already come to them.
Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun
أنى لهم الذكرى وقد جاءهم رسول مبين
Then they had turned away from him (Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and said: (He is) one taught (by a human being), a madman!"
Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun
ثم تولوا عنه وقالوا معلم مجنون
Verily, We shall remove the torment for a while. Verily you will revert (to disbelief).
Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona
إنا كاشفو العذاب قليلا ۚ إنكم عائدون
On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution.
Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona
يوم نبطش البطشة الكبرى إنا منتقمون
And indeed We tried before them Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, when there came to them a noble Messenger [i.e. Musa (Moses) عليه السلام],
Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun
۞ ولقد فتنا قبلهم قوم فرعون وجاءهم رسول كريم
Saying: "Deliver to me the slaves of Allah (i.e. the Children of Israel). Verily, I am to you a Messenger worthy of all trust.
An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun
أن أدوا إلي عباد الله ۖ إني لكم رسول أمين
"And exalt not yourselves against Allah. Truly, I have come to you with a manifest authority.
Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin
وأن لا تعلوا على الله ۖ إني آتيكم بسلطان مبين
"And truly, I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me (or call me a sorcerer or kill me).
Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni
وإني عذت بربي وربكم أن ترجمون
"But if you believe me not, then keep away from me and leave me alone."
Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni
وإن لم تؤمنوا لي فاعتزلون
(But they were aggressive), so he [Musa (Moses)] called upon his Lord (saying): "These are indeed the people who are Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals)."
FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona
فدعا ربه أن هؤلاء قوم مجرمون
(Allah said): "Depart you with My slaves by night. Surely, you will be pursued.
Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona
فأسر بعبادي ليلا إنكم متبعون
"And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Verily, they are a host to be drowned."
Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona
واترك البحر رهوا ۖ إنهم جند مغرقون
How many of gardens and springs that they [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people] left behind,
Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin
كم تركوا من جنات وعيون
And green crops (fields) and goodly places,
WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin
وزروع ومقام كريم
And comforts of life wherein they used to take delight!
WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena
ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين
Thus (it was)! And We made other people inherit them (i.e. We made the Children of Israel to inherit the kingdom of Egypt).
Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena
كذلك ۖ وأورثناها قوما آخرين
And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given a respite.
Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena
فما بكت عليهم السماء والأرض وما كانوا منظرين
And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment:
Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni
ولقد نجينا بني إسرائيل من العذاب المهين
From Fir'aun (Pharaoh); verily he was arrogant and was of the Musrifun (those who transgress beyond bound in spending and other things and commit great sins).
Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena
من فرعون ۚ إنه كان عاليا من المسرفين
And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn) [during the time of Musa (Moses)] with knowledge,
Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena
ولقد اخترناهم على علم على العالمين
And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial.
Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun
وآتيناهم من الآيات ما فيه بلاء مبين
Verily, these (Quraish) people are saying:
Inna haolai layaqooloona
إن هؤلاء ليقولون
"There is nothing but our first death, and we shall not be resurrected.
In hiya illa mawtatuna aloola wama nahnu bimunshareena
إن هي إلا موتتنا الأولى وما نحن بمنشرين
"Then bring back our forefathers, if you speak the truth!"
Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena
فأتوا بآبائنا إن كنتم صادقين
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them because they were indeed Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals).
Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin waallatheena min qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeena
أهم خير أم قوم تبع والذين من قبلهم ۚ أهلكناهم ۖ إنهم كانوا مجرمين
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play.
Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena
وما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين
We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not.
Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona
ما خلقناهما إلا بالحق ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Verily, the Day of Judgement (when Allah will judge between the creatures) is the time appointed for all of them -
Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena
إن يوم الفصل ميقاتهم أجمعين
The Day when a Maula (a near relative) cannot avail a Maula (a near relative) in aught, and no help can they receive,
Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona
يوم لا يغني مولى عن مولى شيئا ولا هم ينصرون
Except him on whom Allah has Mercy. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
إلا من رحم الله ۚ إنه هو العزيز الرحيم
Verily, the tree of Zaqqum
Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi
إن شجرت الزقوم
Will be the food of the sinners.
TaAAamu alatheemi
طعام الأثيم
Like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,
Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni
كالمهل يغلي في البطون
Like the boiling of scalding water.
Kaghalyi alhameemi
كغلي الحميم
(It will be said) "Seize him and drag him into the midst of blazing Fire,
Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi
خذوه فاعتلوه إلى سواء الجحيم
"Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water.
Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi
ثم صبوا فوق رأسه من عذاب الحميم
"Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the generous!
Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu
ذق إنك أنت العزيز الكريم
"Verily, this is that whereof you used to doubt!"
Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona
إن هذا ما كنتم به تمترون
Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2), will be in place of Security (Paradise).
Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin
إن المتقين في مقام أمين
Among Gardens and Springs,
Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin
في جنات وعيون
Dressed in fine silk and (also) in thick silk, facing each other,
Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena
يلبسون من سندس وإستبرق متقابلين
So (it will be). And We shall marry them to Hur (fair female) with wide, lovely eyes.
Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin
كذلك وزوجناهم بحور عين
They will call therein for every kind of fruit in peace and security;
YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena
يدعون فيها بكل فاكهة آمنين
They will never taste death therein except the first death (of this world), and He will save them from the torment of the blazing Fire,
La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi
لا يذوقون فيها الموت إلا الموتة الأولى ۖ ووقاهم عذاب الجحيم
As a Bounty from your Lord! That will be the supreme success!
Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu
فضلا من ربك ۚ ذلك هو الفوز العظيم
Certainly, We have made this (Qur'an) easy in your tongue, in order that they may remember.
Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona
فإنما يسرناه بلسانك لعلهم يتذكرون
Wait then (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم); verily, they (too) are waiting.
Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona
فارتقب إنهم مرتقبون
