| In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. |
|
1. | Ha Mim! |
2. | I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth) |
3. | Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning-- |
4. | Therein every wise affair is made distinct, |
5. | A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles), |
6. | A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing, |
7. | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure. |
8. | There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore. |
9. | Nay, they are in doubt, they sport |
10. | Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke, |
11. | That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment |
12. | Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers. |
13. | How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth), |
14. | Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman. |
15. | Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil). |
16. | On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution. |
17. | And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle, |
18. | Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you, |
19. | And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority: |
20. | And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death: |
21. | And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone |
22. | Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people |
23. | So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued: |
24. | And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned. |
25. | How many of the gardens and fountains have they left! |
26. | And cornfields and noble places! |
27. | And goodly things wherein they rejoiced; |
28. | Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people. |
29. | So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited. |
30. | And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement, |
31. | From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant. |
32. | And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations. |
33. | And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing. |
34. | Most surely these do say: |
35. | There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again. |
36. | So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful |
37. | Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. |
38. | And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport. |
39. | We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know. |
40. | Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them |
41. | The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped, |
42. | Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful. |
43. | Surely the tree of the Zaqqum, |
44. | Is the food of the sinful |
45. | Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies, |
46. | Like the boiling of hot water |
47. | Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell; |
48. | Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water: |
49. | Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable: |
50. | Surely this is what you disputed about |
51. | Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place, |
52. | In gardens and springs; |
53. | They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face; |
54. | Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones. |
55. | They shall call therein for every fruit in security; |
56. | They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell, |
57. | A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement |
58. | So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful. |
59. | Therefore wait; surely they are waiting |
