Surah 44 الدخان

بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ Verse 9

Nay, but they play in doubt.

فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ Verse 10

But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke

يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ Verse 11

That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ Verse 12

(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ Verse 13

How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ Verse 14

And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman?

إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ Verse 15

Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ Verse 16

On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ Verse 17

And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,

أَنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ Verse 18

Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي آتِيكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ Verse 19

And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.

وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ Verse 20

And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ Verse 21

And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ Verse 22

And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ Verse 23

Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,

وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ Verse 24

And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.

كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ Verse 25

How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,

وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ Verse 26

And the cornlands and the goodly sites

وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ Verse 27

And pleasant things wherein they took delight!

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ Verse 28

Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ Verse 29

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

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ Verse 30

And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ Verse 31

(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.

وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ Verse 32

And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.

وَآتَيْنَاهُم مِّنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُّبِينٌ Verse 33

And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ Verse 34

Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ Verse 35

There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again.

فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ Verse 36

Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ Verse 37

Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ Verse 38

And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.

مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ Verse 39

We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَاتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 40

Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئًا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ Verse 41

A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ Verse 42

Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّومِ Verse 43

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,

طَعَامُ الْأَثِيمِ Verse 44

The food of the sinner!

كَالْمُهْلِ يَغْلِي فِي الْبُطُونِ Verse 45

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

كَغَلْيِ الْحَمِيمِ Verse 46

As the seething of boiling water.

خُذُوهُ فَاعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ Verse 47

(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيمِ Verse 48

Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ Verse 49

(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تَمْتَرُونَ Verse 50

Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ Verse 51

Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.

فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ Verse 52

Amid gardens and watersprings,

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ Verse 53

Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَاهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ Verse 54

Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ آمِنِينَ Verse 55

They call therein for every fruit in safety.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَاهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ Verse 56

They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,

فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ Verse 57

A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ Verse 58

And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.

فَارْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ Verse 59

Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting.
