IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah ad-Dukhan - Smoke, The Evident Smoke as rendered by
Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar
44:1
+[ M\m.
44:2
By the clear Book
44:3
truly, We caused it to descend on a blessed night. Truly, We had been ones who warn.
44:4
Every wise command is made clear in it,
44:5
a command from Us. Truly, We had been ones who send it
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 whatever
is
between them. If you had been ones who are certain.
44:8
There is
no god but He.
It is
He Who gives life and causes to die.
He is
your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers.
44:9
Nay! They play in uncertainty.
44:10
Then, thou be on the watch for a Day when the heavens will bring a clear smoke
44:11
overcoming humanity. This
is
a painful punishment.
44:12
Our Lord! Remove thou the punishment from us! Truly, we
are
ones who believe.
44:13
What will there be as a reminder for them? A clear Messenger drew near them.
44:14
Again, they turned away from him and they said: He is one who is taught
by others
, one who is possessed.
44:15
Truly, We
are
ones who remove the punishment for a little. Truly, you
are
ones who revert to
ingratitude
.
44:16
On the Day when We will seize by force with the greatest attack, truly, We
will be
ones who requite.
44:17
And, certainly, We tried a folk of Pharaoh before them when there drew near them a generous Messenger:
44:18
Give back to me the servants of God,
the Children of Israel
. Truly, I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
44:19
And rise not up against God. Truly, I am one who arrives with a clear authority.
44:20
Truly, I took refuge in my Lord and your Lord so that you not stone me.
44:21
But if you believe not in me, then, withdraw.
44:22
So he called on his Lord: Truly, these
are
a folk, ones who sin.
44:23
He said
: Set thou forth with my servants by night. Truly, you
will be
ones who are followed.
44:24
And leave the sea calmly as it is. Truly, they will be an army, one that is drowned.
44:25
How many they left behind of gardens and springs
44:26
and crops and generous stations
44:27
and prosperity in which they had been, ones who are joyful!
44:28
And, thus, We gave it as inheritance to another folk.
44:29
And neither the heavens wept for them nor the earth nor had they been ones who are given respite.
44:30
And, certainly, We delivered the Children of Israel from the despised punishment
44:31
of Pharaoh. Truly, He had been one who exalts himself
and was
of the ones who are excessive.
44:32
And, certainly, We chose them with knowledge above the worlds
44:33
and gave them the signs in which there
was
a clear trial.
44:34
Truly, these say:
44:35
There
is
nothing but our first singled out death and we
will
not
be
ones who are revived.
44:36
Then, bring our fathers back if you had been ones who are sincere.
44:37
Are
they better or a folk of Tubba and those who were before them? We caused them to perish. They, truly, had been ones who sin.
44:38
And We created not the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them as ones who play!
44:39
We created them not but with The Truth but most of them know not.
44:40
Truly, the Day of Decision
is
the time appointed for them one and all,
44:41
a Day when a defender will not avail
another
defender at all nor will they be helped
44:42
but him on whom God had mercy. Truly, He
is
The Almighty, The Compassionate.
44:43
Truly, the tree of Zaqqum
44:44
will be
the food of the sinful.
44:45
Like molten copper it will bubble in the bellies,
44:46
like boiling, scalding water.
44:47
It will be said
: Take him and drag him violently into the depths of hellfire.
44:48
Again, then, unloose over his head the punishment of scalding water!
44:49
Experience
this
! Truly, thou, thou
art
seemingly the mighty, the generous.
44:50
Truly, this
is
what you had been contesting.
44:51
Truly, the ones who are Godfearing
will be
in the station of trustworthiness
44:52
among Gardens and springs
44:53
wearing fine silk and brocade, ones who face one another.
44:54
Thus,
it is so
. We will give in marriage lovely, most beautiful eyed ones.
44:55
They will call therein for every kind of sweet fruit, ones that are safe.
44:56
They will not experience death with them but the first singled out death. And He will protect them from the punishment of hellfire,
44:57
a grace from thy Lord. That, it
is
the winning the sublime triumph!
44:58
Truly, We made this easy in thy language so that perhaps they will recollect.
44:59
So be on the watch! Truly, they
are
ones who watch.
