بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

حمٓ۝١

1Ha Mim!

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ۝٢

2I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ۝٣

3Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning--

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ۝٤

4Therein every wise affair is made distinct,

أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ۝٥

5A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),

رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ۝٦

6A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ۝٧

7The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ۝٨

8There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ۝٩

9Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ۝١٠

10Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۝١١

11That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ۝١٢

12Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ۝١٣

13How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ۝١٤

14Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ۝١٥

15Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ۝١٦

16On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ۝١٧

17And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ۝١٨

18Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,

٤٩٧

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ۝١٩

19And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ۝٢٠

20And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ۝٢١

21And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ۝٢٢

22Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ۝٢٣

23So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ۝٢٤

24And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ۝٢٥

25How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!

وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ۝٢٦

26And cornfields and noble places!

وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ۝٢٧

27And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ۝٢٨

28Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ۝٢٩

29So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ۝٣٠

30And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ۝٣١

31From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ۝٣٢

32And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ۝٣٣

33And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ۝٣٤

34Most surely these do say:

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ۝٣٥

35There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again.

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ۝٣٦

36So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ۝٣٧

37Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ۝٣٨

38And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۝٣٩

39We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.

٤٩٨

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ۝٤٠

40Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ۝٤١

41The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ۝٤٢

42Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ۝٤٣

43Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ۝٤٤

44Is the food of the sinful

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ۝٤٥

45Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ۝٤٦

46Like the boiling of hot water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ۝٤٧

47Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ۝٤٨

48Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water:

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ۝٤٩

49Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ۝٥٠

50Surely this is what you disputed about.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ۝٥١

51Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place,

فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ۝٥٢

52In gardens and springs;

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ۝٥٣

53They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face;

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ۝٥٤

54Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ۝٥٥

55They shall call therein for every fruit in security;

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ۝٥٦

56They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,

فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ۝٥٧

57A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ۝٥٨

58So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ۝٥٩

59Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
