| 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 |
