In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surat Al-Dukhan
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hamim
And the clear book
We sent it down on a blessed night
Indeed, we were warned
Hamim
And the clear book
He swore by this book that he sent it down on a blessed night
It is the Night of Destiny
Indeed, we were warned. We were created with this book as our punishment
In it every wise matter is distinguished
An order from us
We were messengers
Mercy from your Lord
He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing
On this blessed night
He decides and details every matter that God Almighty has decreed in that year
The same as the other year
On this blessed night, every wise matter will be judged
An order from us
We were sending our Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, to our servants
Mercy from your Lord, O Muhammad
God is the Hearer of what these polytheists say
He knows what their consciences contain
And other matters about themselves and others
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them
If you are sure
There is no god but Him who gives life and causes death
Your Lord and the Lord of your first fathers
Who sent down this book, O Muhammad, upon you
Owner of the seven heavens, the earth, and everything between them
If you are certain of the truth of what I told you
So be certain of Him just as you are certain of the truths of things other than Him
There is no god for you, O people, other than the Lord of the heavens and the earth
It is He who gives life to what He wills and causes death to what He wills
What is your property and what is the property of those who came before you from among your forefathers
So worship him rather than your gods
Rather, they are doubtful playing
They are not certain of the truth of what they say and tell of this news
But they doubt it
They are amused by their doubts about what they are telling them
So wait for the day when the sky will bring forth clear smoke
People tell us this is a painful punishment
O Lord, remove the torment from us. We are believers
So wait, O Muhammad, with these polytheists
On the Day when the sky will bring to them something like smoke that will become clear to anyone who looks at it that it is smoke
That was when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, prayed against the Quraysh
That God would give them years like the years of Joseph
Their vision becomes blurred from the stress that befalls them
They say this is painful torture
They say that if you reveal it, we will believe in you
We worshiped You without any deity other than You
I am theirs of remembrance, and a clear messenger has come to them
Then they turned away from him and said, “A crazy teacher.”
In what way do these polytheists have to remember after the affliction befalls them?
They turned away from Our Messenger when he came to them, turning away from him
They do not remember or learn
They say that he is crazy to know this
We will reveal the torment for a little while. You will return
We are the detector of the harm befalling them
O polytheists, when I reveal to you what harm is upon you
You have not fulfilled the faith that you promised and pledged to your Lord
But you return to your error and error
The day we unleash the greatest assault, we will be vengeful
You are polytheists
If I uncover the torment from you and then you return to your disbelief
I took revenge on you
The day I will strike you with my greatest brutality in the world
So I will destroy you
God revealed them and they returned
He brutalized them with the greatest brutality in this world
He killed them with the sword on the day of Badr
