Chapter 44 - "The Smoke"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

44.1: Ha Mim!

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

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

44.4: Therein every wise affair is made distinct,

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

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

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

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

44.9: Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.

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

44.11: That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

44.25: How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!

44.26: And cornfields and noble places!

44.27: And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;

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

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

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

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

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

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

44.34: Most surely these do say:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

44.43: Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,

44.44: Is the food of the sinful

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

44.46: Like the boiling of hot water.

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

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

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

44.50: Surely this is what you disputed about.

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

44.52: In gardens and springs;

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

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

44.55: They shall call therein for every fruit in security;

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

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

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

44.59: Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
