بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم حم
Hameem
By the Book that makes things clear; -
والكتاب المبين
Waalkitabi almubeeni
We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
إنا أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة ۚ إنا كنا منذرين
Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena
In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم
Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin
By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),
أمرا من عندنا ۚ إنا كنا مرسلين
Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena
As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
رحمة من ربك ۚ إنه هو السميع العليم
Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.
رب السماوات والأرض وما بينهما ۖ إن كنتم موقنين
Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena
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.
لا إله إلا هو يحيي ويميت ۖ ربكم ورب آبائكم الأولين
La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena
Yet they play about in doubt.
بل هم في شك يلعبون
Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
فارتقب يوم تأتي السماء بدخان مبين
Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
يغشى الناس ۖ هذا عذاب أليم
Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
ربنا اكشف عنا العذاب إنا مؤمنون
Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona
How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them, -
أنى لهم الذكرى وقد جاءهم رسول مبين
Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
ثم تولوا عنه وقالوا معلم مجنون
Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
إنا كاشفو العذاب قليلا ۚ إنكم عائدون
Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
يوم نبطش البطشة الكبرى إنا منتقمون
Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona
We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,
۞ ولقد فتنا قبلهم قوم فرعون وجاءهم رسول كريم
Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun
Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah: I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust;
أن أدوا إلي عباد الله ۖ إني لكم رسول أمين
An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun
"And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.
وأن لا تعلوا على الله ۖ إني آتيكم بسلطان مبين
Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin
"For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
وإني عذت بربي وربكم أن ترجمون
Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
وإن لم تؤمنوا لي فاعتزلون
Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
فدعا ربه أن هؤلاء قوم مجرمون
FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
فأسر بعبادي ليلا إنكم متبعون
Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
واترك البحر رهوا ۖ إنهم جند مغرقون
Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
كم تركوا من جنات وعيون
Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin
And corn - fields and noble buildings,
وزروع ومقام كريم
WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin
And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين
WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
كذلك ۖ وأورثناها قوما آخرين
Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
فما بكت عليهم السماء والأرض وما كانوا منظرين
Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
ولقد نجينا بني إسرائيل من العذاب المهين
Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
من فرعون ۚ إنه كان عاليا من المسرفين
Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
ولقد اخترناهم على علم على العالمين
Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena
And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
وآتيناهم من الآيات ما فيه بلاء مبين
Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
إن هؤلاء ليقولون
Inna haolai layaqooloona
"There is nothing beyond 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
"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
فأتوا بآبائنا إن كنتم صادقين
Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena
What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.
أهم خير أم قوم تبع والذين من قبلهم ۚ أهلكناهم ۖ إنهم كانوا مجرمين
Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin waallatheena min qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeena
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:
وما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين
Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena
We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.
ما خلقناهما إلا بالحق ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona
Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them, -
إن يوم الفصل ميقاتهم أجمعين
Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,
يوم لا يغني مولى عن مولى شيئا ولا هم ينصرون
Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona
Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
إلا من رحم الله ۚ إنه هو العزيز الرحيم
Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
Verily the tree of Zaqqum
إن شجرت الزقوم
Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi
Will be the food of the Sinful, -
طعام الأثيم
TaAAamu alatheemi
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
كالمهل يغلي في البطون
Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni
Like the boiling of scalding water.
كغلي الحميم
Kaghalyi alhameemi
(A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
خذوه فاعتلوه إلى سواء الجحيم
Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi
"Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water,
ثم صبوا فوق رأسه من عذاب الحميم
Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!
ذق إنك أنت العزيز الكريم
Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu
"Truly this is what ye used to doubt!"
إن هذا ما كنتم به تمترون
Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona
As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security,
إن المتقين في مقام أمين
Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin
Among Gardens and Springs;
في جنات وعيون
Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin
Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other;
يلبسون من سندس وإستبرق متقابلين
Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena
So; and We shall join them to fair women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.
كذلك وزوجناهم بحور عين
Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin
There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security;
يدعون فيها بكل فاكهة آمنين
YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena
Nor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire, -
لا يذوقون فيها الموت إلا الموتة الأولى ۖ ووقاهم عذاب الجحيم
La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi
As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement!
فضلا من ربك ۚ ذلك هو الفوز العظيم
Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu
Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.
فإنما يسرناه بلسانك لعلهم يتذكرون
Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona
So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting.
فارتقب إنهم مرتقبون
Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona
