| 1 | 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 Apostle 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 apostle most honorable. | ||
| 18 | Saying: " Restore to me the servants of Allah: I am to you an apostle 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 honor! | ||
| 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 | So; and 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. | ||
