Surah 44 الدخان

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ Verse 9

Nay, but they play in doubt.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ Verse 10

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

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ Verse 11

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

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ Verse 12

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

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ Verse 13

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

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ Verse 14

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

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ Verse 15

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

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ 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 وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ Verse 17

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

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ Verse 18

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

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ Verse 19

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

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى 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 تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ Verse 21

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

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ Verse 22

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

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ Verse 23

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

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ Verse 24

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

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍ 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 كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهِينَ Verse 27

And pleasant things wherein they took delight!

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ Verse 28

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

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ Verse 29

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

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ Verse 30

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

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ Verse 31

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

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ Verse 32

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

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ Verse 33

And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ Verse 34

Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ Verse 35

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

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ Verse 36

Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ 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 ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ Verse 38

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

مَا خَلَقْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ Verse 39

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

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَـٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Verse 40

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

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ Verse 41

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

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ Verse 42

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

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ Verse 43

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ Verse 44

The food of the sinner!

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ Verse 45

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ Verse 46

As the seething of boiling water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ Verse 47

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

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ Verse 48

Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ Verse 49

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ Verse 50

Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ Verse 51

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

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ Verse 52

Amid gardens and watersprings,

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ Verse 53

Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ Verse 54

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

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ Verse 55

They call therein for every fruit in safety.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ 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 ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ Verse 57

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

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ Verse 58

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

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ Verse 59

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