English - Chapter 44 - Ad-Dukhan

M

By the perspicuous Book

verily, we have sent it down on a blessed night;- verily, we had given warning

wherein is decided every wise affair

as an order from us. Verily, we were sending (apostles)

a mercy from thy Lord; verily, He both hears and knows

from the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between the two, if ye were but sure

There is no god but He, He quickens and He kills - your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore

Nay, they in doubt do play

But expect thou the day when the heaven shall bring obvious smoke

to cover men - this is grievous torment

Our Lord! remove from us the torment; verily, we are believers

How can they have the reminder (now), when they have had a plain apostle

and when they turned their backs away from him and said, 'Taught! mad

Verily, we will remove the torment a little, (but) ye will surely return

On the day when we will assault with the great assault, verily, we will take vengeance

And we already tried the people of Pharaoh when there came to them a noble apostle

Send back to me God's servants; verily, I am to you a faithful apostle

and, 'Exalt not yourselves above God; verily, I come to you with obvious authority

And, verily, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, that ye stone me not

And if ye believe not in me then let me alone

Then he called upon his Lord, 'Verily, these are a sinful people

So journey with my servants by night - verily, ye will be pursued

But leave the sea in quiet - verily, they are a host to be drowned

How many gardens and springs have they left

and corn lands and a noble place

and comfort wherein they did enjoy themselves

Thus - and we gave them for an inheritance to another people

And the heaven wept not for them, nor the earth, nor were they respited

But we saved the children of Israel from shameful woe

from Pharaoh; verily, he was haughty, one of the extravagant

And we did choose them, wittingly, above the worlds

and we gave them signs wherein was an obvious trial

Verily, these say

It is but our first death

so bring our fathers, if ye do speak the truth

Are they better than the people of Tubbah, and those before them? We destroyed them - verily, they were sinners

Nor did we create the heavens and the earth, and what is between the two in sport

we did but create them in truth, though most of them know it not

Verily, the day of separation is their appointed term

save whomsoever God shall have mercy on; verily, He is the mighty, the merciful

Verily, the Zaqqum tree

(shall be) the food of the sinful

as it were melting, shall it boil in their bellies

like the boiling of hot water

Take him and hale him into the midst of hell

then pour over his head the torment of hot water

Taste! verily, thou art the mighty, the honourable

Verily, this is that whereon ye did dispute

Verily, the pious shall be in a safe place

in gardens and springs

they shall be clad in satin and stout silk face to face

Thus!- and we will wed them to bright and large-eyed maids

They shall call therein for every fruit in safety

They shall not taste therein of death save their first death, and we will keep them from the torment of hell

Grace from thy Lord, that is the grand bliss

And we have only made it easy for thy tongue, that haply they may be mindful

Then watch thou; verily, they are watching too
