Surah 44. Smoke
Surah Ad-Dukhan
- Ha-Mim.
- By the Book that makes things clear;—
- We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
- In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
- By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),
- As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
- The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.
- There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,— The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
- Yet they play about in doubt.
- Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
- Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
- (They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
- How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,—
- Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
- We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
- One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
- We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them an apostle most honourable,
- Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah. I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust;
- "And be not arrogant as against Allah. for I come to you with authority manifest.
- "For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
- "If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
- (But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
- (The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
- "And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
- How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
- And corn-fields and noble buildings,
- And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
- Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
- And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
- We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
- Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
- And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
- And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
- As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
- "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
- "Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
- What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.
- We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:
- We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.
- Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them,—
- The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,
- Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
- Verily the tree of Zaqqum
- Will be the food of the Sinful,—
- Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
- Like the boiling of scalding water.
- (A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
- "Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water,
- "Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!
- "Truly this is what ye used to doubt!"
- As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security,
- Among Gardens and Springs;
- Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other;
- So; and We shall join them to Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.
- There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security;
- Nor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire,—
- As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement!
- Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.
- So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting.
