| 1 | Ha. Mim. | |
| |
| 2 | By the Scripture that maketh plain | |
| |
| 3 | Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning - | |
| |
| 4 | Whereon every wise command is made clear | |
| |
| 5 | As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending - | |
| |
| 6 | A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower, | |
| |
| 7 | Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure. | |
| |
| 8 | There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers. | |
| |
| 9 | Nay, but they play in doubt. | |
| |
| 10 | But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke | |
| |
| 11 | That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment. | |
| |
| 12 | (Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers. | |
| |
| 13 | How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them, | |
| |
| 14 | And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman? | |
| |
| 15 | Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief). | |
| |
| 16 | On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish. | |
| |
| 17 | And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger, | |
| |
| 18 | Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you. | |
| |
| 19 | And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant. | |
| |
| 20 | And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death. | |
| |
| 21 | And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go. | |
| |
| 22 | And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk. | |
| |
| 23 | Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed, | |
| |
| 24 | And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host. | |
| |
| 25 | How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind, | |
| |
| 26 | And the cornlands and the goodly sites | |
| |
| 27 | And pleasant things wherein they took delight! | |
| |
| 28 | Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk; | |
| |
| 29 | And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved. | |
| |
| 30 | And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom; | |
| |
| 31 | (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones. | |
| |
| 32 | And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures. | |
| |
| 33 | And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. | |
| |
| 34 | Lo! these, forsooth, are saying: | |
| |
| 35 | There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again. | |
| |
| 36 | Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth! | |
| |
| 37 | Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. | |
| |
| 38 | And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play. | |
| |
| 39 | We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not. | |
| |
| 40 | Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them, | |
| |
| 41 | A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped, | |
| |
| 42 | Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. | |
| |
| 43 | Lo! the tree of Zaqqum, | |
| |
| 44 | The food of the sinner! | |
| |
| 45 | Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies | |
| |
| 46 | As the seething of boiling water. | |
| |
| 47 | (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, | |
| |
| 48 | Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. | |
| |
| 49 | (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble! | |
| |
| 50 | Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt. | |
| |
| 51 | Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured. | |
| |
| 52 | Amid gardens and watersprings, | |
| |
| 53 | Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another. | |
| |
| 54 | Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes. | |
| |
| 55 | They call therein for every fruit in safety. | |
| |
| 56 | They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell, | |
| |
| 57 | A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph. | |
| |
| 58 | And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed. | |
| |
| 59 | Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting. | |
