حمۤ

Ha. Mim

وَٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ

By the Scripture that maketh plain

إِنَّاۤ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِی لَیۡلَةࣲ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِینَ

Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning

فِیهَا یُفۡرَقُ كُلُّ أَمۡرٍ حَكِیمٍ

Whereon every wise command is made clear

أَمۡرࣰا مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۤۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِینَ

As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending

رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure

لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ یُحۡیِۦ وَیُمِیتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِی شَكࣲّ یَلۡعَبُونَ

Nay, but they play in doubt

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ یَوۡمَ تَأۡتِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ بِدُخَانࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

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

یَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ

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

رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ

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

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

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

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡا۟ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمࣱ مَّجۡنُونٌ

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

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابِ قَلِیلًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ عَاۤئِدُونَ

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

یَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰۤ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish

۞ وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ كَرِیمٌ

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

أَنۡ أَدُّوۤا۟ إِلَیَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

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

وَأَن لَّا تَعۡلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّیۤ ءَاتِیكُم بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

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

وَإِنِّی عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّی وَرَبِّكُمۡ أَن تَرۡجُمُونِ

And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death

وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوا۟ لِی فَٱعۡتَزِلُونِ

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

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوۡمࣱ مُّجۡرِمُونَ

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

فَأَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِی لَیۡلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

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

وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندࣱ مُّغۡرَقُونَ

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

كَمۡ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ

And the cornlands and the goodly sites

وَنَعۡمَةࣲ كَانُوا۟ فِیهَا فَـٰكِهِینَ

And pleasant things wherein they took delight

كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِینَ

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

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِینَ

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

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّیۡنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِینِ

And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِیࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

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

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

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

وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ مَا فِیهِ بَلَـٰۤؤࣱا۟ مُّبِینٌ

And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَیَقُولُونَ

Lo! these, forsooth, are saying

إِنۡ هِیَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِینَ

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

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِءَابَاۤئِنَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ

Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth

أَهُمۡ خَیۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعࣲ وَٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ مُجۡرِمِینَ

Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِینَ

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

مَا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۤ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ

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

إِنَّ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِیقَـٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ

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

یَوۡمَ لَا یُغۡنِی مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلࣰى شَیۡءࣰا وَلَا هُمۡ یُنصَرُونَ

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

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

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

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِیمِ

The food of the sinner

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ یَغۡلِی فِی ٱلۡبُطُونِ

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

كَغَلۡیِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

As the seething of boiling water

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاۤءِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

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

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡكَرِیمُ

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

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ

Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی مَقَامٍ أَمِینࣲ

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

فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

Amid gardens and watersprings

یَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسࣲ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقࣲ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِینَ

Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another

كَذَ ٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِینࣲ

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

یَدۡعُونَ فِیهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِینَ

They call therein for every fruit in safety

لَا یَذُوقُونَ فِیهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell

فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِیمُ

A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph

فَإِنَّمَا یَسَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَتَذَكَّرُونَ

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

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ إِنَّهُم مُّرۡتَقِبُونَ

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