Surah Ad-Dukhan (The Smoke)

حمٓ ﴿1﴾

44:1 Ha, Meem.

وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ﴿2﴾

44:2 By the clear Book,

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ فِي لَيۡلَةࣲ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ﴿3﴾

44:3 Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

فِيهَا يُفۡرَقُ كُلُّ أَمۡرٍ حَكِيمٍ ﴿4﴾

44:4 On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

أَمۡرࣰ ا مِّنۡ عِندِنَآۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِينَ ﴿5﴾

44:5 [Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ﴿6﴾

44:6 As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ﴿7﴾

44:7 Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿8﴾

44:8 There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكࣲّ يَلۡعَبُونَ ﴿9﴾

44:9 But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ يَوۡمَ تَأۡتِي ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانࣲ مُّبِينࣲ‏ ﴿10﴾

44:10 Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.

يَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ‏ ﴿11﴾

44:11 Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ ﴿12﴾

44:12 [They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مُّبِينࣱ‏ ﴿13﴾

44:13 How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُواْ مُعَلَّمࣱ مَّجۡنُونٌ ﴿14﴾

44:14 Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

إِنَّا كَاشِفُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابِ قَلِيلًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ عَآئِدُونَ ﴿15﴾

44:15 Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

يَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ﴿16﴾

44:16 The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

۞وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ كَرِيمٌ ﴿17﴾

44:17 And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,

أَنۡ أَدُّوٓاْ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينࣱ‏ ﴿18﴾

44:18 [Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

وَأَن لَّا تَعۡلُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّيٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلۡطَٰنࣲ مُّبِينࣲ‏ ﴿19﴾

44:19 And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.

وَإِنِّي عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمۡ أَن تَرۡجُمُونِ ﴿20﴾

44:20 And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُواْ لِي فَٱعۡتَزِلُونِ ﴿21﴾

44:21 But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمࣱ مُّجۡرِمُونَ ﴿22﴾

44:22 And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

فَأَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيۡلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ﴿23﴾

44:23 [Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندࣱ مُّغۡرَقُونَ ﴿24﴾

44:24 And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

كَمۡ تَرَكُواْ مِن جَنَّٰتࣲ وَعُيُونࣲ‏ ﴿25﴾

44:25 How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِيمࣲ‏ ﴿26﴾

44:26 And crops and noble sites

وَنَعۡمَةࣲ كَانُواْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ ﴿27﴾

44:27 And comfort wherein they were amused.

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ﴿28﴾

44:28 Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ ﴿29﴾

44:29 And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِينِ ﴿30﴾

44:30 And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيࣰ ا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ﴿31﴾

44:31 From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿32﴾

44:32 And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤࣱ اْ مُّبِينٌ ﴿33﴾

44:33 And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿34﴾

44:34 Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ﴿35﴾

44:35 "There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

فَأۡتُواْ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿36﴾

44:36 Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

أَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعࣲ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ ﴿37﴾

44:37 Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ﴿38﴾

44:38 And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

مَا خَلَقۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ﴿39﴾

44:39 We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ﴿40﴾

44:40 Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -

يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِي مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلࣰ ى شَيۡـࣰٔ ا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿41﴾

44:41 The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿42﴾

44:42 Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿43﴾

44:43 Indeed, the tree of zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِيمِ ﴿44﴾

44:44 Is food for the sinful.

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ يَغۡلِي فِي ٱلۡبُطُونِ ﴿45﴾

44:45 Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

كَغَلۡيِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ﴿46﴾

44:46 Like the boiling of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ﴿47﴾

44:47 [It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

ثُمَّ صُبُّواْ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ﴿48﴾

44:48 Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡكَرِيمُ ﴿49﴾

44:49 [It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ ﴿50﴾

44:50 Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينࣲ‏ ﴿51﴾

44:51 Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;

فِي جَنَّٰتࣲ وَعُيُونࣲ‏ ﴿52﴾

44:52 Within gardens and springs,

يَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسࣲ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقࣲ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿53﴾

44:53 Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينࣲ‏ ﴿54﴾

44:54 Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

يَدۡعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ ﴿55﴾

44:55 They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ﴿56﴾

44:56 They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

فَضۡلࣰ ا مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ﴿57﴾

44:57 As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿58﴾

44:58 And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ إِنَّهُم مُّرۡتَقِبُونَ ﴿59﴾

44:59 So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
