In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Ha, Meem.
By the clear Book,
“Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -” (44:3)
indeed, We have always been warning.
“Whereon every wise command is made clear” (44:4)
A matter decreeing from Us,
for indeed, We have always sent messengers,
as a mercy from your Lord.
Truly, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them,
if you would only be certain.
There is no deity worthy of worship except Him; He gives life and causes death,
your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
“Nay, but they play in doubt.” (44:9)
“But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke” (44:10)
“That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.” (44:11)
"Our Lord, relieve us of the punishment; indeed, we will believe."
How can they take heed when there has already come to them a clear messenger,
“And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman?” (44:14)
Indeed, We will remove the punishment a little, but you will surely revert.
“On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.” (44:16)
and indeed, We will exact retribution.
“And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,” (44:17)
and there came to them a noble messenger,
“Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.” (44:18)
"Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,
“And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.” (44:19)
“And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.” (44:19)
“And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.” (44:20)
“And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.” (44:21)
So he called upon his Lord, "These are indeed a criminal people."
"So depart with My servants by night; indeed, you will be pursued,
“And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.” (44:24)
“How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,” (44:25)
and crops, and a noble estate,
“And pleasant things wherein they took delight!” (44:27)
“Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;” (44:28)
“And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.” (44:29)
“And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;” (44:30)
from Pharaoh.
“(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.” (44:31)
“And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.” (44:32)
“And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.” (44:33)
Indeed, these people say, "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we will not be resurrected."
“Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!” (44:36)
“Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.” (44:37)
“Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.” (44:37)
“And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.” (44:38)
“We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.” (44:39)
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all,
the Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped,
“Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.” (44:42)
Indeed, the tree of Zaqqum
is the food of the sinful,
“Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies” (44:45)
boiling like scalding water.
“(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,” (44:47)
"Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water."
“(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!” (44:49)
“Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.” (44:50)
“Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.” (44:51)
in gardens and springs,
“Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.” (44:53)
“Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.” (44:54)
“They call therein for every fruit in safety.” (44:55)
“They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,” (44:56)
and He protected them from the torment of Hellfire,
as a bounty from your Lord.
That is indeed the supreme triumph.
“And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.” (44:58)
So wait; indeed, they too are waiting.
