আদ্ দুখান (ধোঁয়া)

1 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].

1 Ha Mim!

1 Hameem

2 By the manifest Book (this Qur'an) that makes things clear.

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

2 Waalkitabi almubeeni

3 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].

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

3 Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena

4 Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments.

4 Therein every wise affair is made distinct,

4 Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin

5 As a Command (or this Qur'an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers),

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

5 Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena

6 (As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

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

6 Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

7 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you (but) have a faith with certainty.

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

7 Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

8 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.

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

8 La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

9 Nay! They play about in doubt.

9 Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.

9 Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona

10 Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke,

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

10 Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin

11 Covering the people: this is a painful torment.

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

11 Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun

12 (They will say): "Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!"

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

12 Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona

13 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.

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

13 Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun

14 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!"

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

14 Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun

15 Verily, We shall remove the torment for a while. Verily you will revert (to disbelief).

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

15 Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona

16 On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution.

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

16 Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona

17 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],

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

17 Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun

18 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.

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

18 An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

19 "And exalt not yourselves against Allah. Truly, I have come to you with a manifest authority.

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

19 Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin

20 "And truly, I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me (or call me a sorcerer or kill me).

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

20 Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni

21 "But if you believe me not, then keep away from me and leave me alone."

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

21 Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni

22 (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)."

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

22 FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona

23 (Allah said): "Depart you with My slaves by night. Surely, you will be pursued.

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

23 Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona

24 "And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Verily, they are a host to be drowned."

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

24 Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona

25 How many of gardens and springs that they [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people] left behind,

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

25 Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin

26 And green crops (fields) and goodly places,

26 And cornfields and noble places!

26 WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin

27 And comforts of life wherein they used to take delight!

27 And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;

27 WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena

28 Thus (it was)! And We made other people inherit them (i.e. We made the Children of Israel to inherit the kingdom of Egypt).

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

28 Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena

29 And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given a respite.

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

29 Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena

30 And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment:

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

30 Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni

31 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).

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

31 Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena

32 And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn) [during the time of Musa (Moses)] with knowledge,

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

32 Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena

33 And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial.

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

33 Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun

34 Verily, these (Quraish) people are saying:

34 Most surely these do say:

34 Inna haolai layaqooloona

35 "There is nothing but our first death, and we shall not be resurrected.

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 "Then bring back our forefathers, if you speak the truth!"

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

36 Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena

37 Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them because they were indeed Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals).

37 Are they better or the people of Tubba 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, for mere play.

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

38 Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

39 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.

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

39 Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

40 Verily, the Day of Judgement (when Allah will judge between the creatures) is the time appointed for all of them -

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

40 Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena

41 The Day when a Maula (a near relative) cannot avail a Maula (a near relative) in aught, and no help can they receive,

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

41 Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona

42 Except him on whom Allah has Mercy. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

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

42 Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

43 Verily, the tree of Zaqqum

43 Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,

43 Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi

44 Will be the food of the sinners.

44 Is the food of the sinful

44 TaAAamu alatheemi

45 Like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,

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

45 Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni

46 Like the boiling of scalding water.

46 Like the boiling of hot water.

46 Kaghalyi alhameemi

47 (It will be said) "Seize him and drag him into the midst of blazing Fire,

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

47 Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi

48 "Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water.

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

48 Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi

49 "Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the generous!

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

49 Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu

50 "Verily, this is that whereof you used to doubt!"

50 Surely this is what you disputed about.

50 Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona

51 Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2), will be in place of Security (Paradise).

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

51 Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin

52 Among Gardens and Springs,

52 In gardens and springs;

52 Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

53 Dressed in fine silk and (also) in thick silk, facing each other,

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

53 Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena

54 So (it will be). And We shall marry them to Hur (fair female) with wide, lovely eyes.

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

54 Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

55 They will call therein for every kind of fruit in peace and security;

55 They shall call therein for every fruit in security;

55 YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena

56 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,

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

56 La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi

57 As a Bounty from your Lord! That will be the supreme success!

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

57 Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

58 Certainly, We have made this (Qur'an) easy in your tongue, in order that they may remember.

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

58 Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona

59 Wait then (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم); verily, they (too) are waiting.

59 Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.

59 Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona
