Ha, Meem.
وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ ( 2 )
By the clear Book,
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ( 3 )
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ( 4 )
On that night is made distinct every precise matter -
أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ( 5 )
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]
رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ( 6 )
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ( 7 )
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( 8 )
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ ( 9 )
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ( 10 )
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.
يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ( 11 )
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.
رَّبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ( 12 )
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ ( 13 )
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ ( 14 )
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ ( 15 )
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ( 16 )
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ ( 17 )
And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,
أَنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ( 18 )
[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي آتِيكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ( 19 )
And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.
وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ ( 20 )
And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ ( 21 )
But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ ( 22 )
And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ( 23 )
[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.
وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ ( 24 )
And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."
كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 25 )
How much they left behind of gardens and springs
وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ ( 26 )
And crops and noble sites
وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ ( 27 )
And comfort wherein they were amused.
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ( 28 )
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ ( 29 )
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ ( 30 )
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ( 31 )
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.
وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ( 32 )
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
وَآتَيْنَاهُم مِّنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُّبِينٌ ( 33 )
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ( 34 )
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ( 35 )
"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ( 36 )
Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ ( 37 )
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ( 38 )
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.
مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ( 39 )
We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَاتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( 40 )
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئًا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ( 41 )
The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ( 42 )
Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّومِ ( 43 )
Indeed, the tree of zaqqum
طَعَامُ الْأَثِيمِ ( 44 )
Is food for the sinful.
كَالْمُهْلِ يَغْلِي فِي الْبُطُونِ ( 45 )
Like murky oil, it boils within bellies
كَغَلْيِ الْحَمِيمِ ( 46 )
Like the boiling of scalding water.
خُذُوهُ فَاعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ ( 47 )
[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيمِ ( 48 )
Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ ( 49 )
[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!
إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تَمْتَرُونَ ( 50 )
Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ ( 51 )
Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;
فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 52 )
Within gardens and springs,
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ ( 53 )
Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَاهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ ( 54 )
Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ آمِنِينَ ( 55 )
They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَاهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ ( 56 )
They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire
فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ( 57 )
As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ( 58 )
And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.
فَارْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ ( 59 )
So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
