بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ حمۤ

Ha Mim

وَٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ

By the Clear Book.

إِنَّاۤ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِی لَیۡلَةࣲ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِینَ

We have sent it down in a blessed night (We are ever warning)

فِیهَا یُفۡرَقُ كُلُّ أَمۡرٍ حَكِیمٍ

therein every wise bidding

أَمۡرࣰا مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۤۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِینَ

determined as a bidding from Us, (We are ever sending)

رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

as a mercy from thy Lord (surely He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing)

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ

Lord of the heavens and earth, and all that between them is if you have faith.

لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ یُحۡیِۦ وَیُمِیتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

There is no god but He; He gives life and makes to die; your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients.

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِی شَكࣲّ یَلۡعَبُونَ

Nay, but they are in doubt, playing.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ یَوۡمَ تَأۡتِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ بِدُخَانࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

So be on the watch for a day when heaven shall bring a manifest smoke

یَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ

covering the people; this is a painful chastisement.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ

'O our Lord, remove Thou from us the chastisement; we are believers.'

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

How should they have the Reminder, seeing a clear Messenger already came to them,

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡا۟ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمࣱ مَّجۡنُونٌ

then they turned away from him and said, 'A man tutored, possessed!'

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابِ قَلِیلًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ عَاۤىِٕدُونَ

'Behold, We are removing the chastisement a little; behold, you revert!'

یَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰۤ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

Upon the day when We shall assault most mightily, then We shall take Our vengeance.

۞ وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ كَرِیمٌ

Already before them We tried the people of Pharaoh, and a noble Messenger came unto them,

أَنۡ أَدُّوۤا۟ إِلَیَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

saying, 'Deliver to me God's servants; I am for you a faithful Messenger,

وَأَن لَّا تَعۡلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّیۤ ءَاتِیكُم بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

and, 'Rise not up against God; behold, I come to you with a clear authority,

وَإِنِّی عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّی وَرَبِّكُمۡ أَن تَرۡجُمُونِ

and I take refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me.

وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوا۟ لِی فَٱعۡتَزِلُونِ

'But if so be that you believe me not, go you apart from me!'

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوۡمࣱ مُّجۡرِمُونَ

And he called to his Lord, saying, 'These are a sinful people.'

فَأَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِی لَیۡلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

'Then set thou forth with My servants in a watch of the night; surely you will be followed.

وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندࣱ مُّغۡرَقُونَ

And leave the sea becalmed; they are a drowned host.'

كَمۡ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

They left how many gardens and fountains,

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ

sown fields, and how noble a station,

وَنَعۡمَةࣲ كَانُوا۟ فِیهَا فَـٰكِهِینَ

and what prosperity they had rejoiced in!

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِینَ

Even so; and We bequeathed them upon another people.

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِینَ

Neither heaven nor earth wept for them, nor were they respited;

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّیۡنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰ⁠ۤءِیلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِینِ

and We delivered the Children of Israel from the humbling chastisement,

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِیࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

from Pharaoh; surely he was a high One, of the prodigals;

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

and We chose them, out of a knowledge, above all beings,

وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡـَٔایَـٰتِ مَا فِیهِ بَلَـٰۤؤࣱا۟ مُّبِینٌ

and gave them signs wherein there was a manifest trial.

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَیَقُولُونَ

These men do say,

إِنۡ هِیَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِینَ

'There is nothing but our first death; we shall not be revived.

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَاۤىِٕنَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ

Bring us our fathers, if you speak truly!'

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

Are they better, or the people of Tubba' and those before them whom We destroyed? They were surely sinners.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِینَ

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

مَا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۤ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ

We created them not save in truth; but most of them know it not.

إِنَّ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِیقَـٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ

Surely the Day of Decision shall be their appointed time, all together,

یَوۡمَ لَا یُغۡنِی مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلࣰى شَیۡـࣰٔا وَلَا هُمۡ یُنصَرُونَ

the day a master shall avail nothing a client, and they shall not be helped,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

save him upon whom God has mercy; He is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Lo, the Tree of Ez-Zakkoum

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِیمِ

is the food of the guilty,

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ یَغۡلِی فِی ٱلۡبُطُونِ

like molten copper, bubbling in the belly

كَغَلۡیِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

as boiling water bubbles.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاۤءِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

'Take him, and thrust him into the midst of Hell,

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

then pour over his head the chastisement of boiling water!'

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡكَرِیمُ

'Taste! Surely thou art the mighty, the noble.

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ

This is that concerning which you were doubting.'

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی مَقَامٍ أَمِینࣲ

Surely the godfearing shall be in a station secure

فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

among gardens and fountains,

یَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسࣲ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقࣲ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِینَ

robed in silk and brocade, set face to face.

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِینࣲ

Even so; and We shall espouse them to wide-eyed houris,

یَدۡعُونَ فِیهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِینَ

therein calling for every fruit, secure.

لَا یَذُوقُونَ فِیهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

They shall not taste therein of death, save the first death, And He shall guard them against the chastisement of Hell --

فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِیمُ

a bounty from thy Lord; that is the mighty triumph.

فَإِنَّمَا یَسَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Now We have made it easy by thy tongue, that haply they may remember.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ إِنَّهُم مُّرۡتَقِبُونَ

So be on the watch; they too are on the watch.
