Ha Mim. |
|
2. |
By the Book that makes things clear― |
|
3. |
We sent it down during a blessed night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil). |
|
4. |
In that (night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom |
|
5. |
By Command, from Our presence. For We (ever) send (Revelations) |
|
6. |
As a Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things); |
|
7. |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them if ye (but) have an assured faith. |
|
8. |
There is no god but He: it is He Who gives life and gives death the Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors. |
|
9. |
Yet they play about in doubt. |
|
10. |
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible. |
|
11. |
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty grievous. |
|
12. |
(They will say:) "Our Lord! Remove the Penalty from us, for We do really believe!" |
|
13. |
How shall the Message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them― |
|
14. |
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!" |
|
15. |
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways). |
|
16. |
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught We will indeed (then) exact Retribution! |
|
17. |
We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them and Messenger most honourable |
|
18. |
Saying: "Restore to me the servants of Allah: I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust; |
|
19. |
"And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest. |
|
20. |
"For me, I have sought Safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me. |
|
21. |
"If ye believe me, not at least keep yourselves away from me." |
|
22. |
(But they were aggressive): then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin." |
|
23. |
(The reply came): "March forth with My servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued. |
|
24. |
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided). for they are a host (destined) to be drowned." |
|
25. |
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind. |
|
26. |
And corn-fields and noble buildings. |
|
27. |
And wealth (and conveniences of life) wherein they had taken such delight! |
|
28. |
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)! |
|
29. |
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again). |
|
30. |
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment, |
|
31. |
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors. |
|
32. |
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly, |
|
33. |
And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial. |
|
34. |
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth: |
|
35. |
"There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again. |
|
36. |
"Then bring (back) our forefathers if what ye say is true!" |
|
37. |
What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin. |
|
38. |
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them merely in (idle) sport: |
|
39. |
We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand. |
|
40. |
Verily the Day of sorting Out is the time appointed for all of them― |
|
41. |
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive. |
|
42. |
Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is exalted in Might, Most Merciful. |
|
43. |
Verily the tree of Zaqqum |
|
44. |
Will be the food of the Sinful |
|
45. |
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides |
|
46. |
Like the boiling of scalding water. |
|
47. |
(A voice will cry:) "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire! |
|
48. |
"Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water; |
|
49. |
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou Mighty full of honour! |
|
50. |
"Truly this is what ye used to doubt!" |
|
51. |
As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security |
|
52. |
Among Gardens and Springs; |
|
53. |
Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other; |
|
54. |
Moreover, We shall Join them to Companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes. |
|
55. |
There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security; |
|
56. |
Nor will they there taste Death, except the first Death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire― |
|
57. |
As a Bounty from thy Lord! That will be the supreme achievement! |
|
58. |
Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed. |
|
59. |
So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting. |
