| | Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali rendition of Surah Smoke, The Evident Smoke(ad-Dukhan)
--- |
|---|
| 44:1 | | Ha, Mim (These are the names of letters of the Arabic alphabet, and only Allah knows their meaning here) |
| 44:2 | | And (by) the evident Book |
| 44:3 | | Surely We have sent it down in a blessed night; surely We have been warning |
| 44:4 | | Therein every Wise Command is distinctly (decreed) |
| 44:5 | | (As) a Command from Our providence; surely We have (ever) been sending (Messengers) |
| 44:6 | | As a mercy from your Lord; surely He, Ever He, is The Ever-Hearing, The Ever-Knowing |
| 44:7 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them both, in case you are (believers) with certitude |
| 44:8 | | There is no god except He; He gives life and He makes to die; (He is) your Lord and The Lord of your earliest fathers |
| 44:9 | | No indeed, (but) they are in doubt, playing |
| 44:10 | | So be on the watch for a Day when the heaven will come up with an evident smoke |
| 44:11 | | That will envelop mankind; this is a painful torment |
| 44:12 | | "Our Lord, lift off from us the torment; surely, we are believers." |
| 44:13 | | However could they have the Reminding, and an evident Messenger has already come to them |
| 44:14 | | (Yet) thereafter they turned away from him and said, "A man taught (by others), a madman!" |
| 44:15 | | Surely We are lifting off the torment a little; surely you will be going back (to disbelief) |
| 44:16 | | Upon the Day when We will assault you with the greatest assault; surely We will be Avengers |
| 44:17 | | And indeed already before them We tempted the people of Firaawn, (Pharaoh) and an honorable Messenger came to them. (Saying), "Discharge (Literally: give back to me) to me the bondmen of Allah; surely I am for you a trustworthy Messenger." |
| 44:18 | | And, "Do not exalt yourselves against Allah; surely I am bringing you an evident, all-binding authority |
| 44:19 | | And surely I take refuge in my Lord and your Lord that you should (not) stone me |
| 44:20 | | And in case you do not believe me, then keep apart from me!" |
| 44:21 | | So he invoked his Lord, (saying |
| 44:22 | | "These are a criminal people." |
| 44:23 | | "Then set forth with My bondmen by night, surely you will be closely followed |
| 44:24 | | And leave the sea becalmed; (Or: furrowed) surely they are a drowned host." |
| 44:25 | | They left how many gardens and springs |
| 44:26 | | And plantations and how honorable a station |
| 44:27 | | And what comfort they used to (enjoy) cheerfully |
| 44:28 | | Thus (it was); and We made another people to inherit (these favors) |
| 44:29 | | So, in no way did the heaven and the earth weep for them, and in no way were they respited |
| 44:30 | | And indeed We already safely delivered the Seeds (Or: sons) of Israel) from degrading torment |
| 44:31 | | From Firaawn; (Pharaoh) surely he was exalted, of the extravagant |
| 44:32 | | And indeed We already chose them, out of a knowledge, over the worlds |
| 44:33 | | And We brought them (some) signs wherein there was an evident trial |
| 44:34 | | Surely these (people) are indeed saying |
| 44:35 | | "Decidedly there is nothing except our first death; and in no way will we be raised up |
| 44:36 | | Then come up with (i.e., bring) our fathers, in case you are sincere!" |
| 44:37 | | Are they more charitable, (i.e., better) or the people of Tubbac and the ones even before them? We caused them to perish; surely they were criminals |
| 44:38 | | And in no way did We create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them both, playing |
| 44:39 | | In no way did We create them both except with The Truth; but most of them do not know |
| 44:40 | | Surely the Day of Verdict is their appointed time all together |
| 44:41 | | The Day a patronizer will not avail any patronized thing, and they will not be vindicated |
| 44:42 | | Except him on whom Allah has mercy; surely He, Ever He, is The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Merciful |
| 44:43 | | Surely the Tree of Az-Zaqqum |
| 44:44 | | Is the food of the constantly vicious |
| 44:45 | | Like molten metal, it boils in the bellies |
| 44:46 | | As the boiling of scalding water |
| 44:47 | | "Take him, then thrust him into the (deepest) level of Hell-Fire |
| 44:48 | | Thereafter pour above his head of the torment of scalding (water) |
| 44:49 | | Taste! Surely you, (only) you are (i.e., you used to think that you were mighty) the constantly mighty, the constantly honorable |
| 44:50 | | Surely this is what you used to wrangle about." |
| 44:51 | | Surely the pious will be in a station constantly secure |
| 44:52 | | In Gardens and Springs |
| 44:53 | | Wearing (garments) of serenest and brocade, facing one another |
| 44:54 | | Thus (it will be); and We will espouse them to wide-eyed h?r (Fair females in paradise) |
| 44:55 | | Therein (they will be) calling for every (kind) of fruit, secure |
| 44:56 | | They will not taste therein of death, except the first death, and He will protect them from the torment of Hell-Fire |
| 44:57 | | A Grace from your Lord; that is it which is the magnificent triumph |
| 44:58 | | So We have surely made it easy by your tongue, only that possibly they would remind themselves |
| 44:59 | | Then be on the watch; surely they (too) are on the watch |
