In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Ad-Dukhan 44:1
Ha, Mim.
Ad-Dukhan 44:2
By the clarifying Book.
Ad-Dukhan 44:3
ۚ
We sent it down on a blessed night; We have been warning.
Ad-Dukhan 44:4
In it every wise matter is distinguished,
Ad-Dukhan 44:5
ۚ
As a command from Us; We have been sending,
Ad-Dukhan 44:6
ۚ
As a mercy from your Lord; He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
Ad-Dukhan 44:7
ۖ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you are certain.
Ad-Dukhan 44:8
ۖ
There is no god but Him. He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your earlier fathers.
Ad-Dukhan 44:9
Rather, they are in doubt, playing.
Ad-Dukhan 44:10
So watch for the day when the sky brings a visible smoke,
Ad-Dukhan 44:11
ۖ
Enveloping the people; this is a painful punishment.
Ad-Dukhan 44:12
Our Lord, remove the punishment from us; we are believers.
Ad-Dukhan 44:13
How can they take heed, when a clarifying messenger had already come to them?
Ad-Dukhan 44:14
Then they turned away from him and said: Taught by others, mad.
Ad-Dukhan 44:15
ۚ
We will remove the punishment for a little while; you will return.
Ad-Dukhan 44:16
The day We seize with the greatest seizure, We will take retribution.
Ad-Dukhan 44:17
We certainly tested Pharaoh’s people before them, and an honored messenger came to them,
Ad-Dukhan 44:18
ۖ
Saying: Hand over to me the servants of The God; I am a trustworthy messenger to you.
Ad-Dukhan 44:19
ۖ
And do not exalt yourselves against The God; I bring you clear authority.
Ad-Dukhan 44:20
I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from your stoning me.
Ad-Dukhan 44:21
If you do not believe me, then leave me alone.
Ad-Dukhan 44:22
Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
Ad-Dukhan 44:23
Then travel by night with My servants; you will be pursued.
Ad-Dukhan 44:24
ۖ
Leave the sea still; they are an army to be drowned.
Ad-Dukhan 44:25
How many gardens and springs they left behind,
Ad-Dukhan 44:26
And fields and an honorable dwelling,
Ad-Dukhan 44:27
And comfort in which they delighted.
Ad-Dukhan 44:28
ۖ
Thus it was; and We made another people inherit it.
Ad-Dukhan 44:29
Neither heaven nor earth wept for them, nor were they reprieved.
Ad-Dukhan 44:30
We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating punishment,
Ad-Dukhan 44:31
ۚ
From Pharaoh; he was arrogant, one of the excessive.
Ad-Dukhan 44:32
We certainly chose them knowingly above the worlds.
Ad-Dukhan 44:33
We gave them signs in which there was a clear trial.
Ad-Dukhan 44:34
These people surely say:
Ad-Dukhan 44:35
There is only our first death, and we will not be raised.
Ad-Dukhan 44:36
Then bring our fathers, if you are truthful.
Ad-Dukhan 44:37
ۚ ۖ
Are they better, or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them; they were guilty.
Ad-Dukhan 44:38
We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in play.
Ad-Dukhan 44:39
We created them only in truth, but most of them do not know.
Ad-Dukhan 44:40
The Day of Separation is the appointed time for them all,
Ad-Dukhan 44:41
The day when no ally will avail an ally at all, nor will they be helped,
Ad-Dukhan 44:42
ۚ
Except one on whom The God has mercy; He is the Almighty, the Especially Merciful.
Ad-Dukhan 44:43
Indeed, the tree of Zaqqum,
Ad-Dukhan 44:44
Is the food of the sinful,
Ad-Dukhan 44:45
Like molten metal, boiling in the bellies,
Ad-Dukhan 44:46
Like the boiling of scalding water.
Ad-Dukhan 44:47
Seize him and drag him into the midst of the blazing fire.
Ad-Dukhan 44:48
Then pour over his head some of the punishment of scalding water.
Ad-Dukhan 44:49
Taste! You are indeed the mighty, the honored!
Ad-Dukhan 44:50
This is what you used to doubt.
Ad-Dukhan 44:51
The mindful are in a secure place,
Ad-Dukhan 44:52
Amid gardens and springs,
Ad-Dukhan 44:53
Wearing fine silk and heavy brocade, facing one another.
Ad-Dukhan 44:54
Thus it is; and We paired them with wide-eyed houris.
Ad-Dukhan 44:55
There they call for every kind of fruit, secure.
Ad-Dukhan 44:56
ۖ
They will taste no death there beyond the first death, and He protected them from the punishment of the blazing fire,
Ad-Dukhan 44:57
ۚ
As a favor from your Lord; that is the great triumph.
Ad-Dukhan 44:58
We have made it easy in your language, so that they may take heed.
Ad-Dukhan 44:59
So wait; they too are waiting.
