English - Chapter 44 - Ad-Dukhan

And the clarifying Book

We have sent it down in a blessed night. Surely, We were to warn

In it, is a decree for every matter of wisdom

A decree from Us. Surely, We were to send messengers

A mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable

The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If you were certain

There is no god except He. He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors

No; they are in doubt, playing

Therefore, watch for the day when the heaven will bring a visible smoke

It will envelop the people: "This is a painful retribution

Our Lord, remove the retribution from us; we are believers

How is it that now they remember, while a clarifying messenger had come to them

But then, they turned away from him and said: "Clearly educated, but crazy

We will remove the retribution in a while; you will then return back

On the Day We strike the great strike, We will avenge

And We had tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and an honorable messenger came to them

Restore to me the servants of God. I am a trustworthy messenger to you

And, do not transgress against God. I come to you with clear authority

And I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, should you stone me

And if you do not believe in me, then have no dealing with me

Subsequently, he called on his Lord: "These are a criminal people

You shall travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued

And cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned

How many gardens and springs did they leave behind

And crops and an honorable station

And blessings that they enjoyed

Thus it was; and We caused another people to inherit it

Neither the heaven, nor the earth wept over them, and they were not respited

And We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating agony

From Pharaoh; he was a transgressing tyrant

And We have chosen them, out of knowledge, over the worlds

And We granted them signs, which constituted a great test

These people now are saying

There is nothing except our first death; and we will never be resurrected

So bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful

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

And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, for mere play

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

Surely, the Day of Separation is the appointment for them all

That is the Day when no friend can help his friend in any way; nor will they be helped

Except him on whom God has mercy. He is the Noble, the Merciful

Surely, the tree of Bitterness

Will be the food for the sinful

Like hot oil, it will boil in the bellies

Like the boiling of liquid

Take him and throw him into the midst of Hell

Then pour upon his head the retribution of boiling liquid

Surely, this is what you used to doubt

The righteous will be in a station of security

Among gardens and springs

Wearing silk and satin; facing each other

So it is, and We married them to wonderful companions

They enjoy in it all kinds of fruits, in perfect peace

They do not taste death therein except for the first death, and He has spared them the retribution of Hell

As a blessing from your Lord. Such is the great triumph

We have thus made it easy in your language, perhaps they may take heed

Therefore, watch; for they too will be watching
