By the Book that makes things clear; -
والكتاب المبين
By the clear Book,
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
إنا أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة ۚ إنا كنا منذرين
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم
On that night is made distinct every precise matter -
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),
أمرا من عندنا ۚ إنا كنا مرسلين
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]
أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
رحمة من ربك ۚ إنه هو السميع العليم
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
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
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
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
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Yet they play about in doubt.
بل هم في شك يلعبون
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
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
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
يغشى الناس ۖ هذا عذاب أليم
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
ربنا اكشف عنا العذاب إنا مؤمنون
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
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
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
ثم تولوا عنه وقالوا معلم مجنون
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
إنا كاشفو العذاب قليلا ۚ إنكم عائدون
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
يوم نبطش البطشة الكبرى إنا منتقمون
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
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
And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ
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
[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
"And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.
وأن لا تعلوا على الله ۖ إني آتيكم بسلطان مبين
And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
"For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
وإني عذت بربي وربكم أن ترجمون
And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
وإن لم تؤمنوا لي فاعتزلون
But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
فدعا ربه أن هؤلاء قوم مجرمون
And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
فأسر بعبادي ليلا إنكم متبعون
[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
واترك البحر رهوا ۖ إنهم جند مغرقون
And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
كم تركوا من جنات وعيون
How much they left behind of gardens and springs
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
And corn - fields and noble buildings,
وزروع ومقام كريم
And crops and noble sites
وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين
And comfort wherein they were amused.
وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
كذلك ۖ وأورثناها قوما آخرين
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
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
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
ولقد نجينا بني إسرائيل من العذاب المهين
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
من فرعون ۚ إنه كان عاليا من المسرفين
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
ولقد اخترناهم على علم على العالمين
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
وآتيناهم من الآيات ما فيه بلاء مبين
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
إن هؤلاء ليقولون
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
"There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
إن هي إلا موتتنا الأولى وما نحن بمنشرين
"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ
"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
فأتوا بآبائنا إن كنتم صادقين
Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
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
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:
وما خلقنا السماوات والأرض وما بينهما لاعبين
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ
We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.
ما خلقناهما إلا بالحق ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.
مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them, -
إن يوم الفصل ميقاتهم أجمعين
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
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
The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
إلا من رحم الله ۚ إنه هو العزيز الرحيم
Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Verily the tree of Zaqqum
إن شجرت الزقوم
Indeed, the tree of zaqqum
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Will be the food of the Sinful, -
طعام الأثيم
Is food for the sinful.
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
كالمهل يغلي في البطون
Like murky oil, it boils within bellies
كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ
Like the boiling of scalding water.
كغلي الحميم

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
(A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
خذوه فاعتلوه إلى سواء الجحيم
[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,
خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
"Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water,
ثم صبوا فوق رأسه من عذاب الحميم
Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!
ذق إنك أنت العزيز الكريم
[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ
"Truly this is what ye used to doubt!"
إن هذا ما كنتم به تمترون
Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."
إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ
As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security,
إن المتقين في مقام أمين
Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ
Among Gardens and Springs;
في جنات وعيون
Within gardens and springs,
فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other;
يلبسون من سندس وإستبرق متقابلين
Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
So; and We shall join them to fair women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.
كذلك وزوجناهم بحور عين
Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ
There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security;
يدعون فيها بكل فاكهة آمنين
They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ
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
They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement!
فضلا من ربك ۚ ذلك هو الفوز العظيم
As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.
فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.
فإنما يسرناه بلسانك لعلهم يتذكرون
And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting.
فارتقب إنهم مرتقبون
So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ
