ad-Dukhan Bilal Muhammad 2018

44:1
- Haa, Miim
44:2
- By the Book that makes things clear
44:3
- We sent it down during a blessed night, for We wish to warn
44:4
- In the night is made clear every affair of wisdom
44:5
- By command, from Our presence, for We send revelation
44:6
- As mercy from your Lord, for He hears and knows all things
44:7
- The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if you have an assured faith
44:8
- There is no god but He. It is He Who gives life and gives death, the Guardian Evolver to you and your earliest ancestors
44:9
- Yet they play around in doubt
44:10
- Then watch for the day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke, plainly visible
44:11
- Smothering the people. This will be a terrible penalty
44:12
- “Our Lord, remove the penalty from us, for we really do believe.
44:13
- How can there be a reminder for them, seeing that a messenger explaining things clearly has already come to them
44:14
- Yet they turn away from him and say, “Tutored by others, a person possessed.
44:15
- We will indeed remove the penalty for a while and truly you will return
44:16
- One day We will seize you with a mighty onslaught. We will indeed exact retribution
44:17
- We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh. There came to them a messenger honorabl
44:18
- Saying, “Restore to me the servants of God. I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust
44:19
- “And do not be arrogant as against God, for I come to you with clear authority
44:20
- “For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me
44:21
- “If you do not believe, at least keep away from me.
44:22
- Then he cried to his Lord, “These are indeed people given to harmful deeds.
44:23
- “March forth with My servants by night, for you are sure to be pursued
44:24
- “And leave the sea divided, for they are an army destined to be drowned.
44:25
- How many were the gardens and springs they left behind
44:26
- And corn-fields, and impressive buildings
44:27
- And wealth which they had taken such pride
44:28
- All this We made other people inherit
44:29
- And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them, nor were they given respite
44:30
- We did deliver the Children of Israel from a crushing punishment
44:31
- Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant and one of the transgressors
44:32
- And We chose them above the nations knowingly
44:33
- And granted them signs in which there were a manifest trial
44:34
- As for these, they say humorously
44:35
- “There is nothing beyond our first death, and we will not be raised again
44:36
- “Then bring back our ancestors, if what you say is true.
44:37
- What, are they better than the people of Touba, and those who were before them? We caused them to perish because they were guilty of harmful deeds
44:38
- We did not create the heavens, the earth, and all between them, for mere play
44:39
- We did not create them except for just ends, but most of them do not understand
44:40
- Indeed the day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them
44:41
- The day no protector can avail his client in anything, and no help can they receive
44:42
- Except those who receive God's mercy, for He is Exalted in Might, the Merciful Redeemer
44:43
- Indeed the tree of Zaqqum
44:44
- Will be the food of the sinful
44:45
- Like molten brass, it will boil in their insides
44:46
- Like the boiling of scalding water
44:47
- “Seize him and drag him into the middle of the blazing fire
44:48
- “Then pour over his head the penalty of boiling water
44:49
- “Taste this. Truly were you mighty, full of pride
44:50
- “Indeed this is what you used to doubt.
44:51
- As for the righteous, they will be in a position of security
44:52
- Among gardens and springs
44:53
- Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other
44:54
- And We will join them to companions with beautiful eyes
44:55
- There they can call for every kind of fruit in peace and security
44:56
- Nor will they taste death there, only the first death, and He will preserve them from the penalty of the blazing fire
44:57
- As a bounty from your Lord. That will be the ultimate achievement
44:58
- Indeed, We have made this easy in your tongue, in order that they may take heed
44:59
- So wait and watch, for they too are waiting
