English - Chapter 44 - Ad-Dukhan

Haa Miim

By the book that makes (things) clear

We certainly sent it down during a blessed night, We are certainly the Warners

Every wise affair is made distinct in it (by)

a command from Us, We are certainly the Senders

a mercy from your Lord, He is certainly the Hearing, the Knowing

the Lord of the skies and the earth and that which is between them, if you like to be of those who are certain

There is no god except Him, He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers

No, they are in doubt (therefore) they are not serious

So be vigilant for the day when clear smoke will come from the sky

which will cover mankind, this will be a painful punishment

(People will pray), “Our Lord! remove from us the punishment we will certainly believe.”

How can their being mindful (be beneficial on that day), when a messenger who was clear (in his message) had come to them (earlier, but)

then they had turned away from him while saying, “One taught (by others), one under the influence of jinn.”

We will remove the punishment a little (but) you will certainly return (to evil)

One day We will seize with a great seizure. We are certainly Inflicters of retribution

And before them We had tested the people of Pharaoh, when an honourable messenger came to them, (saying)

that, “Deliver to me the servants of God (children of Israel), I am a trustworthy messenger to you,”

and that, “Do not transgress against God, I have come to you with a clear authority

And I seek the protection of my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me

And if you do not believe me then withdraw from me.”

Then he prayed to his Lord that, “These are a people who are criminals

(Moses was ordered by God), “Then travel (away at) night with My servants, you will certainly be pursued (by Pharaoh’s army)

and let the sea remain (as a dry path in the form of) a furrow (bounded by water on two sides), they are an army to be drowned.”

How many of the gardens and springs have they left (behind)

and corn fields and places of honour

and comforts in which they used to be joyful

Thus (it happened), and We made other people to inherit (all those things)

So neither the sky nor the earth wept over them, nor were they given time (for amendment)

And We saved the children of Israel from the disgraceful punishment

of Pharaoh, he was certainly a transgressor, one among the extravagant

and We brought to them such of the signs in which there was clear trial

These certainly say

“There is nothing but our first death and we will not be raised again

then bring back our fathers if you are truthful.”

Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, they were certainly criminals

And We did not create the skies and the earth and that which is between them, in play

We did not create them but in reality, but the majority of them does not know

The day of decision is certainly their appointed term, of all of them

A day on which a friend will not be of any use to (another) friend in anything, nor will they be helped

except him on whom God has mercy. He is certainly the Mighty, the Merciful

Certainly the tree of Zaqqum

is food of the sinner

like molten brass, it will boil in the stomachs

like the boiling of hot water

(It will be said), “Catch him then drag him to the middle of the hell

then pour above his head, from the tormenting boiling water

Taste ! you were the mighty, the honoured

This is certainly that about which you used to doubt.”

Those who guarded (against evil) will certainly be in a secure place

in gardens and springs

dressed in fine and thick silk, facing each other

Thus (it will happen).And We will pair them with fair ones (having) wide beautiful eyes

Therein, they will call for every fruit, being secure

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

A grace from your Lord, that is the great achievement

So We have made the (Quran) easy in your language only that they may be mindful

So be vigilant, they (too) are certainly vigilant
