English - Chapter 44 - Ad-Dukhan

Ha Mim

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

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

Therein every wise affair is made distinct

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

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

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

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

Nay, they are in doubt, they sport

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

That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How many of the gardens and fountains have they left

And cornfields and noble places

And goodly things wherein they rejoiced

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

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

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

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

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

And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing

Most surely these do say

There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again

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

Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty

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

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

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

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

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

Surely the tree of the Zaqqum

Is the food of the sinful

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

Like the boiling of hot water

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

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

Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable

Surely this is what you disputed about

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

In gardens and springs

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

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

They shall call therein for every fruit in security

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

A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement

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

Therefore wait; surely they are waiting
