| 44:1 | | HM |
| 44:2 | | And the clarifying Book |
| 44:3 | | We have sent it down in a blessed night. Surely, We were to warn |
| 44:4 | | In it, is a decree for every matter of wisdom |
| 44:5 | | A decree from Us. Surely, We were to send messengers |
| 44:6 | | A mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable |
| 44:7 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If you were certain |
| 44:8 | | There is no god except He. He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors |
| 44:9 | | No; they are in doubt, playing |
| 44:10 | | Therefore, watch for the day when the heaven will bring a visible smoke |
| 44:11 | | It will envelop the people: "This is a painful retribution! |
| 44:12 | | "Our Lord, remove the retribution from us; we are believers. |
| 44:13 | | How is it that now they remember, while a clarifying messenger had come to them |
| 44:14 | | But then, they turned away from him and said: "Clearly educated, but crazy! |
| 44:15 | | We will remove the retribution in a while; you will then return back |
| 44:16 | | On the Day We strike the great strike, We will avenge |
| 44:17 | | And We had tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and an honorable messenger came to them |
| 44:18 | | "Restore to me the servants of God. I am a trustworthy messenger to you. |
| 44:19 | | "And, do not transgress against God. I come to you with clear authority. |
| 44:20 | | "And I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, should you stone me. |
| 44:21 | | "And if you do not believe in me, then have no dealing with me. |
| 44:22 | | Subsequently, he called on his Lord: "These are a criminal people. |
| 44:23 | | You shall travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued |
| 44:24 | | And cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned |
| 44:25 | | How many gardens and springs did they leave behind |
| 44:26 | | And crops and an honorable station |
| 44:27 | | And blessings that they enjoyed |
| 44:28 | | Thus it was; and We caused another people to inherit it |
| 44:29 | | Neither the heaven, nor the earth wept over them, and they were not respited |
| 44:30 | | And We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating agony |
| 44:31 | | From Pharaoh; he was a transgressing tyrant |
| 44:32 | | And We have chosen them, out of knowledge, over the worlds |
| 44:33 | | And We granted them signs, which constituted a great test |
| 44:34 | | These people now are saying: |
| 44:35 | | "There is nothing except our first death; and we will never be resurrected! |
| 44:36 | | "So bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful! |
| 44:37 | | Are they better or the people of Tubba` and those before them? We destroyed them, they were criminals |
| 44:38 | | And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, for mere play |
| 44:39 | | We did not create them except with the truth, but most of them do not know |
| 44:40 | | Surely, the Day of Separation is the appointment for them all |
| 44:41 | | That is the Day when no friend can help his friend in any way; nor will they be helped |
| 44:42 | | Except him on whom God has mercy. He is the Noble, the Merciful |
| 44:43 | | Surely, the tree of Bitterness |
| 44:44 | | Will be the food for the sinful |
| 44:45 | | Like hot oil, it will boil in the bellies |
| 44:46 | | Like the boiling of liquid |
| 44:47 | | "Take him and throw him into the midst of Hell. |
| 44:48 | | "Then pour upon his head the retribution of boiling liquid. |
| 44:49 | | "Taste this; surely you are the noble, the generous! |
| 44:50 | | Surely, this is what you used to doubt |
| 44:51 | | The righteous will be in a station of security |
| 44:52 | | Among gardens and springs |
| 44:53 | | Wearing silk and satin; facing each other |
| 44:54 | | So it is, and We married them to wonderful companions |
| 44:55 | | They enjoy in it all kinds of fruits, in perfect peace |
| 44:56 | | They do not taste death therein except for the first death, and He has spared them the retribution of Hell |
| 44:57 | | As a blessing from your Lord. Such is the great triumph |
| 44:58 | | We have thus made it easy in your language, perhaps they may take heed |
| 44:59 | | Therefore, watch; for they too will be watching |
