Ha, Meem.
حٰمٓ ۚ
By the clear Book,
وَالْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ ۙ
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ فِىْ لَيْلَةٍ مُّبٰـرَكَةٍ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِيْنَ
On that night is made distinct every precise matter -
فِيْهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ اَمْرٍ حَكِيْمٍۙ
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]
اَمْرًا مِّنْ عِنْدِنَاۗ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِيْنَۚ
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَۗ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُۙ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.
رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۘ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِيْنَ
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىٖ وَيُمِيْتُۗ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآٮِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
بَلْ هُمْ فِىْ شَكٍّ يَّلْعَبُوْنَ
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.
فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى السَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِيْنٍۙ
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.
يَغْشَى النَّاسَۗ هٰذَا عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ اِنَّا مُؤْمِنُوْنَ
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
اَنّٰى لَهُمُ الذِّكْرٰى وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوْا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُوْنٌۘ
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].
اِنَّا كَاشِفُوا الْعَذَابِ قَلِيْلًا اِنَّكُمْ عَآٮِٕدُوْنَۘ
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْـرٰىۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُوْنَ
And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ كَرِيْمٌۙ
[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah . Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"
اَنْ اَدُّوْۤا اِلَىَّ عِبَادَ اللّٰهِۗ اِنِّىْ لَـكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌۙ
And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah . Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.
وَّاَنْ لَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِۚ اِنِّىْۤ اٰتِيْكُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍۚ
And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
وَاِنِّىْ عُذْتُ بِرَبِّىْ وَرَبِّكُمْ اَنْ تَرْجُمُوْنِ ۚ
But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
وَاِنْ لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوْا لِىْ فَاعْتَزِلُوْنِ
And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗۤ اَنَّ هٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُوْنَ
[ Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.
فَاَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىْ لَيْلًا اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَۙ
And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."
وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًاۗ اِنَّهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ
How much they left behind of gardens and springs
كَمْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍۙ
And crops and noble sites
وَّزُرُوْعٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيْمٍۙ
And comfort wherein they were amused.
وَّنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوْا فِيْهَا فٰكِهِيْنَۙ
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.
كَذٰلِكَۗ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِيْنَ
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوْا مُنْظَرِيْنَ
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىْۤ اِسْرَآءِيْلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِيْنِۙ
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.
مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِيْنَ
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنٰهُمْ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَۚ
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الْاٰيٰتِ مَا فِيْهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِيْنٌ
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَيَقُوْلُوْنَۙ
"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
اِنْ هِىَ اِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْاُوْلٰى وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِيْنَ
Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
فَأْتُوْا بِاٰبَآٮِٕنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.
اَهُمْ خَيْرٌ اَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۙ وَّ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيْنَ
We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.
مَا خَلَقْنٰهُمَاۤ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -
اِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيْقَاتُهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ
The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِىْ مَوْلًى عَنْ مَّوْلًى شَيْــًٔا وَّلَا هُمْ يُنْصَرُوْنَۙ
Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ اللّٰهُۗ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ
Indeed, the tree of zaqqum
اِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّوْمِۙ
Is food for the sinful.
طَعَامُ الْاَثِيْمِ ۛ
Like murky oil, it boils within bellies
كَالْمُهْلِ ۛ يَغْلِىْ فِى الْبُطُوْنِۙ
Like the boiling of scalding water.
كَغَلْىِ الْحَمِيْمِ
[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,
خُذُوْهُ فَاعْتِلُوْهُ اِلٰى سَوَآءِ الْجَحِيْمِ ۖ
Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."
ثُمَّ صُبُّوْا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهٖ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيْمِۗ
[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!
ذُقْ ۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْكَرِيْمُ
Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."
اِنَّ هٰذَا مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تَمْتَرُوْنَ
Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;
اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِىْ مَقَامٍ اَمِيْنٍۙ
Within gardens and springs,
فِىْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍۙ
Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.
يَّلْبَسُوْنَ مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيْنَۚ ۙ
Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.
كَذٰلِكَۗ وَزَوَّجْنٰهُمْ بِحُوْرٍ عِيْنٍۗ
They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.
يَدْعُوْنَ فِيْهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ اٰمِنِيْنَۙ
They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire
لَا يَذُوْقُوْنَ فِيْهَا الْمَوْتَ اِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْاُوْلٰى ۚ وَوَقٰٮهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيْمِۙ
As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.
فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ ۗ ذٰ لِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ
And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.
فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ
So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
فَارْتَقِبْ اِنَّهُمْ مُّرْتَقِبُوْنَ
