1. * |
Ha. Mim.
|
|
2. * |
I swear by the illustrious Book.
|
|
3. * |
that We have revealed the Quran on a blessed night to warn mankind.
|
|
4. * |
On this night, every absolute command coming from Us becomes distinguishable.
|
|
5. * |
The command that We have been sending
|
|
6. * |
as a mercy (for the human being) from your Lord. Your Lord is All-hearing and All-knowing.
|
|
7. * |
He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if only you would have strong faith.
|
|
8. * |
There is only One Lord. It is He who gives life and causes things to die. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
|
|
9. * |
In fact, the unbelievers have doubts because of excessive involvement in worldly affairs.
|
|
10. * |
Wait for the day (which will come before the Day of Judgment) when the sky will give out dense smoke
|
|
11. * |
which will smother the people. They will say, "This is a painful torment.
|
|
12. * |
Lord, remove this torment from us for we are believers".
|
|
13. * |
How could this punishment bring them to their senses when a Messenger evidently had come to them,
|
|
14. * |
and they turned away, saying, "He is a trained and insane person".
|
|
15. * |
We shall remove the torment for a while but you will revert to your old ways.
|
|
16. * |
However, We shall truly take Our revenge on the day when the great seizure takes place.
|
|
17. * |
We had certainly tested the people of the Pharaoh before them to whom a noble Messengers had come, saying,
|
|
18. * |
"Send the servants of God with me. I am a trustworthy Messenger sent to you.
|
|
19. * |
Do not consider yourselves above God? I shall show you a manifest authority (in support of my truthfulness).
|
|
20. * |
I seek protection from my Lord and your Lord from your decision of stoning me.
|
|
21. * |
If you do not want to believe, leave me alone".
|
|
22. * |
Moses addressed his Lord, saying, "Lord, these people are sinners".
|
|
23. * |
We told him, "Leave the city with My servants during the night. You will be pursued.
|
|
24. * |
Cross the sea by cutting a path through it. Pharaoh's army will be drowned.
|
|
25. * |
How many were the gardens, springs,
|
|
26. * |
corn-fields, gracious mansions,
|
|
27. * |
and other bounties which they enjoyed yet left behind!
|
|
28. * |
We gave these as an inheritance to other people.
|
|
29. * |
The sky nor the earth cried for them, nor were they given respite.
|
|
30. * |
We rescued the Israelites from the humiliating torment
|
|
31. * |
and from the Pharaoh. He was the chief of the transgressors.
|
|
32. * |
We gave preference to the Israelites over the other people with Our knowledge
|
|
33. * |
and sent them revelations of which some were a clear trial for them.
|
|
34. * |
These people say,
|
|
35. * |
"After we die, we shall never be raised to life again.
|
|
36. * |
Bring back to life our fathers if what you say is true".
|
|
37. * |
Are they better than the tribe of Tubba (name of a Yemenite tribal chief) and those who lived before them? We destroyed them. They were criminals.
|
|
38. * |
We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for Our own amusement.
|
|
39. * |
We have created them for a genuine purpose, but most people do not know.
|
|
40. * |
The appointed time for all of them will be the Day of Judgment
|
|
41. * |
(when wrong will be distinguished from right). On this day friends will be of no benefit to one another, nor will they receive any help
|
|
42. * |
except for those to whom God grants mercy. He is Majestic and All-merciful.
|
|
43. * |
The tree of Zaqqum
|
|
44. * |
is food for the sinner.
|
|
45. * |
It will be like molted brass which will boil in the bellies
|
|
46. * |
like water.
|
|
47. * |
(It will be said of such sinners), "Seize them and drag them into the middle of hell.
|
|
48. * |
Then pour unto their heads the boiling water to torment them".
|
|
49. * |
They will be told, "Suffer the torment. You had thought yourselves to be majestic and honorable.
|
|
50. * |
This is the torment that you persistently doubted".
|
|
51. * |
The pious ones will be in a secure place
|
|
52. * |
amid gardens and springs,
|
|
53. * |
clothed in fine silk and rich brocade, sitting face to face with one another.
|
|
54. * |
We shall unite them to maidens with big black and white lovely eyes.
|
|
55. * |
They will be offered all kinds of fruits, in peace and security.
|
|
56. * |
They will not experience any death other than that which they have already been through.
|
|
57. * |
God will protect them from the torment of hell as a favor from your Lord. (Muhammad), this is certainly the greatest triumph.
|
|
58. * |
We have made the Quran easy for you to recite so that perhaps they may take heed.
|
|
59. * |
Wait (for God's decree) and they too will be waiting.
