44:2
By the Manifest Book!
44:3
We sent it down on a blessed night, and We have been warning [mankind].
44:4
Every definitive matter is resolved on it,
44:5
as an ordinance from Us. We have been sending [apostles]
44:6
as a mercy from your Lord—indeed He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing—
44:7
the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, should you have conviction.
44:8
There is no god except Him: He gives life and brings death, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
44:9
But they play around in doubt.
44:10
So watch out for the day when the sky brings on a manifest smoke,
44:11
enveloping the people. [They will cry out:] ‘This is a painful punishment.
44:12
Our Lord! Remove this punishment from us. Indeed we have believed!’
44:13
What will the admonition avail them, when a manifest apostle had already come to them,
44:14
but they turned away from him, and said, ‘A tutored madman?’
44:15
Indeed We will withdraw the punishment a little; but you will revert [to your earlier ways].
44:16
The day We shall strike with the most terrible striking, We will indeed take vengeance [on them].
44:17
Certainly We tried the people of Pharaoh before them, when a noble apostle came to them,
44:18
[saying,] ‘Give over the servants of Allah to me; indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.
44:19
Do not defy Allah. Indeed I bring you a manifest authority.
44:20
I seek the protection of my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me.
44:21
And if you do not believe me, keep out of my way.’
44:22
Then he invoked his Lord, [saying,] ‘These are indeed a guilty lot.’
44:23
[Allah told him,] ‘Set out by night with My servants; for you will be pursued.
44:24
Leave behind the sea unmoving; for they will be a drowned host.’
44:25
How many gardens and springs did they leave behind!
44:26
Fields and splendid places,
44:27
and the affluence wherein they rejoiced!
44:28
So it was; and We bequeathed them to another people.
44:29
So neither the sky wept for them, nor the earth; nor were they granted any respite.
44:30
Certainly We delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment
44:31
of Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a tyrant among the transgressors.
44:32
Certainly We chose them knowingly above all the nations,
44:33
and We gave them some signs in which there was a manifest test.
44:35
‘It will be only our first death, and we shall not be resurrected.
44:36
Bring our fathers back [to life], if you are truthful.’
44:37
Are they better, or the people of Tubba‘, and those who were before them? We destroyed them; indeed, they were guilty.
44:38
We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them for play.
44:39
We did not create them except with consummate wisdom; but most of them do not know.
44:40
Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst for them all,
44:41
the day when a friend will not avail a friend in any way, nor will they be helped,
44:42
except for him on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed He is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.
44:43
Indeed the tree of Zaqqum
44:44
will be the food of the sinful.
44:45
Like molten copper it will boil in their bellies,
44:46
seething like boiling water.
44:47
[The keepers of hell will be told,] ‘Seize him and drag him to the middle of hell,
44:48
then pour over his head boiling water as punishment,
44:49
[and tell them,] “Taste this! Indeed you are the [self-styled] mighty and noble!
44:50
This is what you used to doubt!’
44:51
Indeed the Godwary will be in a safe place,
44:52
amid gardens and springs,
44:53
dressed in fine silk and brocade, sitting face to face.
44:54
So shall it be, and We shall wed them to black-eyed houris.
44:55
Secure [from any kind of harm,] there they will call for every kind of fruit [they wish].
44:56
Other than the first death, they will not taste death therein, and He will save them from the punishment of hell
44:57
—a grace from your Lord. That is the great success.
44:58
Indeed We have made it simple in your language, so that they may take admonition.
44:59
So wait! They [too] are waiting.
