  1. بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    حمٓ

    44:1Ha, Meem.

  2. وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

    44:2By the clear Book,

  3. إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ

    44:3Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

  4. فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

    44:4On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

  5. أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

    44:5[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

  6. رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

    44:6As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

  7. رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

    44:7Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

  8. لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

    44:8There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

  9. بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ

    44:9But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

  10. فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

    44:10Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.

  11. يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

    44:11Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

  12. رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ

    44:12[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."

  13. أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

    44:13How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.

  14. ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ

    44:14Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

  15. إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

    44:15Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

  16. يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

    44:16The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

  17. ۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ

    44:17And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,

  18. أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ

    44:18[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

  19. وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

    44:19And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.

  20. وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

    44:20And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

  21. وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

    44:21But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

  22. فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ

    44:22And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

  23. فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

    44:23[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

  24. وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ

    44:24And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

  25. كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

    44:25How much they left behind of gardens and springs

  26. وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

    44:26And crops and noble sites

  27. وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ

    44:27And comfort wherein they were amused.

  28. كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

    44:28Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

  29. فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

    44:29And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

  30. وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

    44:30And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

  31. مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

    44:31From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

  32. وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

    44:32And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

  33. وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ

    44:33And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

  34. إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

    44:34Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

  35. إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

    44:35"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

  36. فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

    44:36Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

  37. أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

    44:37Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

  38. وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

    44:38And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

  39. مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

    44:39We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

  40. إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    44:40Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -

  41. يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

    44:41The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

  42. إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

    44:42Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

  43. إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

    44:43Indeed, the tree of zaqqum

  44. طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

    44:44Is food for the sinful.

  45. كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

    44:45Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

  46. كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

    44:46Like the boiling of scalding water.

  47. خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

    44:47[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

  48. ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

    44:48Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

  49. ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

    44:49[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!

  50. إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

    44:50Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

  51. إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ

    44:51Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;

  52. فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

    44:52Within gardens and springs,

  53. يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

    44:53Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

  54. كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ

    44:54Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

  55. يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

    44:55They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.

  56. لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

    44:56They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

  57. فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

    44:57As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.

  58. فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

    44:58And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.

  59. فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

    44:59So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
