44:1  Ha-Mim.

44:2  By the clear book (the Qur’an).

44:3  Surely We sent it (this Qur’an) down in a blessed night (of Qadr in the month of Ramadan). Surely, We are ever warning (mankind).

44:4  in it (that night) every matter is decided wisely,

44:5  by a command from Us. Surely, We have ever sending (the Messengers),

44:6  (as) Mercy from your Lord. Surely! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

44:7  The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you have faith with certainty.

44:8  There is no true one worthy of worship but He. It is He Who gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.

44:9  Nay! They play in doubt.

44:10  Then you wait for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke,

44:11  covering the people, this will be a painful punishment.

44:12  (People will say): “Our Lord! Remove the punishment from us, really we have become believers!”

44:13  How can there be an admonition (at the time when the punishment has reached) for them when a Messenger explaining things clearly has already come to them

44:14  Yet, they turn away from him (Muhammad) and said: “He (Muhammad) is a madman, taught (by others)!”

44:15  Surely, We shall remove the punishment (famine) for a while. But you will return (to disbelief).

44:16  On the Day We shall seize you with the greatest grasp. Surely, We will take retribution.

44:17  And indeed We tried Pharaoh’s people before them, when a noble Messenger (Moses) came to them,

44:18  saying: “Deliver the servants of Allah (the children of Israel) to me. Surely! I am a Messenger to you worthy of all trust.

44:19  And don’t exalt (yourselves) against Allah. Truly, I have come to you with a clear authority.

44:20  And truly, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

44:21  But if you don’t believe me, then keep away from me and leave me alone.”

44:22  So he (Moses) called upon (when they were aggressive) his Lord (saying) indeed: “These are criminal people.”

44:23  (Allah said): “You depart with My servants by night. Surely, you will be pursued.

44:24  And (when you have crossed the sea with your people), then leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Surely, they are a host to be drowned.”

44:25  How many gardens and springs did they (Pharaoh’s people) leave behind,

44:26  and corn-fields and goodly places,

44:27  and comforts (of life) they used to take delight in it!

44:28  Thus We made other people inherit them (the children of Israel inherit the kingdom of Egypt).

44:29  And neither the heavens and the earth did weep for them, nor were they given a respite.

44:30  And indeed We saved the children of Israel from the humiliating punishment

44:31  from Pharaoh. Surely! He was arrogant and was one of the transgressors,

44:32  and surely, We chose them (the children of Israel) above the worlds (during the time of Moses) with knowledge.

44:33  And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial.

44:34  Surely, these (people of Quraish) say:

44:35  “There is nothing after our first death and we shall not be resurrected.

44:36  Bring back our forefathers if you speak the truth!”

44:37  Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were indeed criminals.

44:38  And We did not create the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for merely a play.

44:39  We have not created them but (to reveal) the truth, but most of them don’t know.

44:40  Surely, the Day of judgment is the time appointed for all of them,

44:41  the Day when a near relative cannot avail a relative in anything, nor they can receive help

44:42  except those on whom Allah will show Mercy. Surely, He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

44:43  Surely, the tree of Zaqqum (very bitter taste),

44:44  will be the food of the sinners,

44:45  like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,

44:46  like the boiling of scalding water.

44:47  (It will be said): “Seize and drag him into the midst of blazing fire,

44:48  then pour from the punishment of boiling water over its head,

44:49  taste you (this)! Surely, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the noble!

44:50  Surely! This is what you used to doubt about it!”

44:51  Surely! The pious will be in place of security (Paradise),

44:52  among gardens and springs;

44:53  dressed in fine silk and also in thick silk, facing each other.

44:54  So (it will be), and We shall marry them to Houris (fair females) with wide lovely eyes.

44:55  They will call in it for every kind of fruit in peace and security;

44:56  they will never taste death in it except the first death (of this world), and He will save them from the punishment of the blazing fire

44:57  as a Bounty from your Lord! That will be the supreme success!

44:58  Certainly, We have made this (Qur’an) easy in your tongue in order that they may remember.

44:59  Wait then (O Muhammad); surely, they too are waiting.
