44:1  Beneficent God

44:2  By the Book that makes it manifest

44:3  We revealed it on a blessed night -- truly We are ever warning

44:4  Therein is made clear every affair full of wisdom -

44:5  A command from Us -- truly We are ever sending messengers -

44:6  A mercy from thy Lord -- truly 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, in doubt they sport

44:10  So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear drought

44:11  Enveloping men. This is a painful chastisement

44:12  Our Lord, remove from us the chastisement -- surely we are believers

44:13  When will they be reminded? And a Messenger has indeed come, making clear

44:14  Yet they turned away from him and said: One taught (by others); a madman

44:15  We shall remove the chastisement a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil)

44:16  On the day when We seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We shall exact retribution

44:17  And certainly We tried before them Pharaoh’s people and a nobel messenger came to them

44:18  Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah. Surely I am a faithful messenger to you

44:19  And exalt not yourselves against Allah. Surely I bring to you a clear authority

44:20  And I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me to death

44:21  And if you believe not in me, 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 behind calm. Surely they are a host to be drowned

44:25  How many the gardens and springs they left behind

44:26  And cornfields and noble places

44:27  And goodly things wherein they rejoiced

44:28  Thus (it was). And We made other people inherit them

44:29  So the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they respited

44:30  And We indeed delivered the Children of Israel from the abasing chastisement

44:31  From Pharaoh. Surely he was haughty, prodigal

44:32  And certainly We chose them above the nations, having knowledge

44:33  And We gave them signs wherein was clear blessing

44:34  These do indeed say

44:35  There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again

44:36  So bring our fathers (back), of 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 that which is between them in sport

44:39  We created them but with truth, but most of them know not

44:40  Surely the day of Decision is the term for them all

44:41  The day when friend will avail friend in naught, nor will they be helped

44:42  Save those on whom Allah has mercy. Surely He is the Mighty, the Merciful

44:43  Surely the tree of Zaqqu

44:44  Is the food of the sinful

44:45  Like molten brass; it seethes in (their) bellie

44:46  Like boiling water

44:47  Seize him, then drag him into the midst of hell

44:48  Then pour on his head of the torment of boiling water -

44:49  Taste -- thou art forsooth the mighty, the honourable

44:50  Surely this is what you doubted

44:51  Those who keep their duty are indeed in a secure place -

44:52  In gardens and springs

44:53  Wearing fine and thick silk, facing one another -

44:54  Thus (shall it be). And We shall join them to pure, beautiful ones

44:55  They call therein for every fruit in security -

44:56  They taste not therein death, except the first death; and He will save them from the chastisement of hell -

44:57  A grace from thy Lord. This is the great achievement

44:58  So We have made it easy in thy tongue that they may mind

44:59  Wait then; surely they (too) are waiting
