| 44:1 | | ?a. Mim |
| 44:2 | | By the clear Book |
| 44:3 | | truly We sent it down on a blessed night—truly We are ever warning |
| 44:4 | | Therein every wise command is made distinct |
| 44:5 | | as a command from Us—truly We are ever sending |
| 44:6 | | as a mercy from thy Lord. Truly He is the Hearing, the Knowing |
| 44:7 | | Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is between them; would that you were certain |
| 44:8 | | There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old |
| 44:9 | | Nay, but they are playing in doubt |
| 44:10 | | So keep watch for a day when the sky brings forth manifest smoke |
| 44:11 | | covering the people. This is a painful punishment |
| 44:12 | | “Our Lord! Remove from us the punishment; truly we are believers. |
| 44:13 | | How can there be a reminder for them, when a clear messenger had come to them |
| 44:14 | | Then they turned away from him and said, “He is taught, possessed. |
| 44:15 | | We shall indeed remove the punishment a little. Surely you will revert |
| 44:16 | | On the Day when We strike with a terrible striking, surely We are vengeful |
| 44:17 | | And indeed We tried the people of Pharaoh before them, and a noble messenger came unto them |
| 44:18 | | “Deliver God’s servants unto me! Truly I am a trustworthy messenger unto you |
| 44:19 | | And rise not against God; surely I have come to you with a manifest authority |
| 44:20 | | Truly I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me |
| 44:21 | | But if you believe me not, then keep away from me. |
| 44:22 | | Then he called unto his Lord, “These are a guilty people. |
| 44:23 | | “Set forth with My servants by night; you will indeed be pursued |
| 44:24 | | And leave the sea at rest; truly they will be a drowned host. |
| 44:25 | | How many gardens and springs did they leave behind |
| 44:26 | | sown fields and a noble dwelling |
| 44:27 | | and prosperity in which they rejoiced |
| 44:28 | | Thus it was. And We bequeathed it unto another people |
| 44:29 | | Neither Heaven nor earth wept for them, nor were they granted respite |
| 44:30 | | And We delivered the Children of Israel from a humiliating punishment |
| 44:31 | | from Pharaoh. Truly he was foremost among the prodigal |
| 44:32 | | We knowingly chose them over the worlds |
| 44:33 | | And We gave them signs wherein was a manifest trial |
| 44:34 | | Truly these say |
| 44:35 | | “There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be resurrected |
| 44:36 | | Bring us our fathers, if you are truthful. |
| 44:37 | | Are they better, or the people of Tubba? and those before them? We destroyed them. Truly they were guilty |
| 44:38 | | And We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is between them in play |
| 44:39 | | We did not create them, save in truth. But most of them know not |
| 44:40 | | Truly the Day of Division is their tryst, all together |
| 44:41 | | The Day when no friend will avail a friend in any way, nor will they be helped |
| 44:42 | | save him unto whom God has been merciful. Truly He is the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 44:43 | | Truly the tree of Zaqqu |
| 44:44 | | is the food of the sinner |
| 44:45 | | like molten lead boiling in their bellies |
| 44:46 | | like the boiling of boiling liquid |
| 44:47 | | “Seize him and thrust him into the midst of Hellfire |
| 44:48 | | Then pour the punishment of boiling liquid upon his head. |
| 44:49 | | “Taste! Surely you are the mighty, the noble |
| 44:50 | | This is that which you used to doubt. |
| 44:51 | | Truly the reverent are in a station secure |
| 44:52 | | amid gardens and springs |
| 44:53 | | wearing fine silk and rich brocade, facing one another |
| 44:54 | | Thus it is. And We shall wed them to wide-eyed maidens |
| 44:55 | | Therein they call for every fruit, secure |
| 44:56 | | They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He will shield them from the punishment of Hellfire |
| 44:57 | | a bounty from thy Lord; that is the great triumph |
| 44:58 | | We have only made this easy upon thy tongue, that haply they may remember |
| 44:59 | | So be on the watch, for they, too, are on the watch |
