| | Syed Vickar Ahamed rendition of Surah Smoke, The Evident Smoke(ad-Dukhan)
--- |
|---|
| 44:1 | | Ha Mim |
| 44:2 | | And the Book that makes things clear&mdash |
| 44:3 | | We have sent it down during a blessed night: Verily, We (always) wish to warn (against evil |
| 44:4 | | In that (night) is set out (decreed) every item of wisdom |
| 44:5 | | By Command from Us (Allah), verily, We (always) send (revelations) |
| 44:6 | | As a Mercy from your Lord: Verily, He is the All Hearing (As-Sami'), the All Knowing (Al-Aleem) |
| 44:7 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you have firm faith and certainty |
| 44:8 | | There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and causes death, your Lord and Sustainer (Rab) and the Lord and Sustainer of your (earliest) ancestors |
| 44:9 | | Yet, they amuse themselves in doubt |
| 44:10 | | Then you watch for the Day on which the sky will bring out a kind of clearly visible smoke (or mist) |
| 44:11 | | Surrounding the people: This will be a painful penalty |
| 44:12 | | (They will say:) "Our Lord! Remove the penalty from us, really, we are believers!" |
| 44:13 | | How shall the Message be (meaningful) for them, seeing that a Messenger (the Prophet) has (already) come to them— (And is) explaining things clearly |
| 44:14 | | Yet they turned away from him and said: "Taught (by others), he is a madman (possessed by evil)!" |
| 44:15 | | Indeed, We shall remove the penalty for a while, (but) truly, you will go back (to your ways) |
| 44:16 | | One day We shall get to you with a mighty disaster that will come: (And then) We will truly make (you) suffer the real punishment |
| 44:17 | | And indeed, We did try the people of Firon (Pharaoh), before them (those who reject the Message); To them came a most honorable messenger (Musa) |
| 44:18 | | (Saying:) "Give me the servants of Allah verily, I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust |
| 44:19 | | "And do not be proud (especially) against Allah: Truly, I have come to you with clear authority |
| 44:20 | | "As for me, I have prayed to my Lord and your Lord, for safety against your injuring (stoning) me |
| 44:21 | | "But if you do not believe, keep yourselves away from me and leave me alone." |
| 44:22 | | (But they were angry and haughty) then he cried to his Lord: "Truly, these are a criminal people used to sin." |
| 44:23 | | (The reply came:) "March forth with My servants by night, surely, you will be followed |
| 44:24 | | "And leave the sea at the gap (across the ocean bed divided): Verily, they are a group to be drowned." |
| 44:25 | | How many of the gardens and springs did they leave behind |
| 44:26 | | And green crops (and corn fields) and noble places |
| 44:27 | | And wealth (and things of life), in which they had taken such delight |
| 44:28 | | Like this (was their end)! And We made other people take over (those things they left behind) |
| 44:29 | | And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear for them: And they were not given any relief (again) |
| 44:30 | | And indeed, (before this), We did save the Children of Israel from disgraceful punishment |
| 44:31 | | Caused by Firon (Pharaoh), indeed he was proud (haughty and arrogant, even) among unruly transgressors |
| 44:32 | | And We chose them before above the nations, with knowledg |
| 44:33 | | And granted them Signs in which there was an open trial |
| 44:34 | | Verily, these (People of the Quraish), they openly say |
| 44:35 | | "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be resurrected |
| 44:36 | | Then bring (back) our forefathers, if you say the truth!" |
| 44:37 | | Are they better than the people of Tubba' and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were criminals (guilty of sin) |
| 44:38 | | And We did not create the heavens and the earth, and all between them, just as (an idle) play |
| 44:39 | | We did not create them except for true (and noble) ends: But most of them do not understand |
| 44:40 | | Surely, the Day of Sorting Out is the time appointed for all of them&mdash |
| 44:41 | | The Day when the nearest of kin can be of no use to the related one, even the least, and no help can they receive |
| 44:42 | | Except such as those who receive Allah’s Mercy: Verily, He is Exalted in Might (Al-Aziz), Most Merciful (Ar-Raheem) |
| 44:43 | | Surely, the (evil) tree of Zaqqu |
| 44:44 | | Will be the food of the sinful&mdash |
| 44:45 | | Like molten brass; It will boil in their bellies |
| 44:46 | | Like the boiling of very hot water |
| 44:47 | | (A voice will cry:) "You 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 | | "You taste (this)! Truly were you (all that) mighty, full of honor |
| 44:50 | | "Surely, this is what you used to doubt!" |
| 44:51 | | Verily, as to 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 lace, they will face each other |
| 44:54 | | Like this, (it will be!) We shall enjoin them the companions with beautiful, big and lovely eyes |
| 44:55 | | There they can call for every fruit in peace and security |
| 44:56 | | There, they will not undergo death, except the first death; And He will preserve them from the penalty of the blazing Fire&mdash |
| 44:57 | | As a Gift from your Lord! That will be the supreme achievement |
| 44:58 | | Surely, We have made this (Quran) easy, in your tongue, in order that they may remember |
| 44:59 | | So you wait and watch, verily, they (too) are waiting |
