حمٓ ﴿1﴾
Ha. Mim. (44:1)
By the Scripture that maketh plain (44:2)
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ﴿3﴾
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning - (44:3)
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ﴿4﴾
Whereon every wise command is made clear (44:4)
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ﴿5﴾
As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending - (44:5)
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿6﴾
A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower, (44:6)
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ﴿7﴾
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure. (44:7)
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿8﴾
There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers. (44:8)
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ﴿9﴾
Nay, but they play in doubt. (44:9)
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿10﴾
But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke (44:10)
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ﴿11﴾
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment. (44:11)
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿12﴾
(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers. (44:12)
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿13﴾
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them, (44:13)
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ ﴿14﴾
And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman? (44:14)
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ ﴿15﴾
Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief). (44:15)
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ﴿16﴾
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish. (44:16)
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ ﴿17﴾
And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger, (44:17)
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ﴿18﴾
Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you. (44:18)
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿19﴾
And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant. (44:19)
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ ﴿20﴾
And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death. (44:20)
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ ﴿21﴾
And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go. (44:21)
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ ﴿22﴾
And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk. (44:22)
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ﴿23﴾
Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed, (44:23)
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ ﴿24﴾
And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host. (44:24)
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ﴿25﴾
How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind, (44:25)
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ﴿26﴾
And the cornlands and the goodly sites (44:26)
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ ﴿27﴾
And pleasant things wherein they took delight! (44:27)
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ﴿28﴾
Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk; (44:28)
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ ﴿29﴾
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved. (44:29)
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ ﴿30﴾
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom; (44:30)
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿31﴾
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones. (44:31)
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿32﴾
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures. (44:32)
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ ﴿33﴾
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. (44:33)
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿34﴾
Lo! these, forsooth, are saying: (44:34)
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ﴿35﴾
There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again. (44:35)
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿36﴾
Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth! (44:36)
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. (44:37)
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ﴿38﴾
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play. (44:38)
مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿39﴾
We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not. (44:39)
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿40﴾
Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them, (44:40)
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿41﴾
A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped, (44:41)
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿42﴾
Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. (44:42)
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿43﴾
Lo! the tree of Zaqqum, (44:43)
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ ﴿44﴾
The food of the sinner! (44:44)
كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ ﴿45﴾
Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies (44:45)
كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ﴿46﴾
As the seething of boiling water. (44:46)
خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿47﴾
(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, (44:47)
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ﴿48﴾
Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. (44:48)
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ ﴿49﴾
(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble! (44:49)
إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ ﴿50﴾
Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt. (44:50)
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ ﴿51﴾
Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured. (44:51)
Amid gardens and watersprings, (44:52)
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿53﴾
Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another. (44:53)
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ ﴿54﴾
Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes. (44:54)
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ ﴿55﴾
They call therein for every fruit in safety. (44:55)
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿56﴾
They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell, (44:56)
فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿57﴾
A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph. (44:57)
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿58﴾
And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed. (44:58)
فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ ﴿59﴾
Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting. (44:59)
