Smoke - Chapter 44 | Contains 59 Verses – Mecca |
|
|
حم |
|
1- |
Haa – Meem 1 |
|
وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ |
|
2- |
Consider the importance of the Book (the Quran) which clarifies and explains. |
|
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ |
|
3- |
We sent it (the Quran) down on a blessed
night; as We have always been warning and awakening (humankind). |
|
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ |
|
4- |
In it, all subjects of wisdom have been explained and decreed (commanded). |
|
أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ |
|
5- |
As a Command from Us, just as We have been sending (Messages via Messengers), |
|
رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ |
|
6- |
(This Quran is sent to you) As a Mercy and Grace from your Lord; as indeed He is All Hearing, All Knowing, |
|
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ |
|
7- |
He is the Lord of the Heavens and the earth and all that is between them, as you should be a believer with certainty. |
|
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ |
|
8- |
There is no one worthy of worship except Him,
Who gives life and causes death. Your True Lord and The Lord of your forefathers. |
|
بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ |
|
9- |
But (instead of realizing this), they are in doubt and wasting their time playing (with idols) |
|
فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاء بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
10- |
So wait for the Day when the sky will turn into an obvious smoke, |
|
يَغْشَى النَّاسَ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
|
11- |
Covering the people; this shall be (a sign of) the coming painful suffering (for evil persons). |
|
رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ |
|
12- |
(At which time they will say:) “Our Lord, Please take away the punishment from us, as we now are believers”. |
|
أَنَّى لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَى وَقَدْ جَاءهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
13- |
Of what use is any such statement for them
then, whereas a Messenger who clarified the truth, had come to them before (and they did not listen to him). |
|
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ |
|
14- |
On the contrary they turned away from him and
said: “He is a man, who was taught something by someone and he is a madman.” |
|
إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ |
|
15- |
We shall keep the torment away (from your
disbelievers yet) for a little while (in this world to give you a chance to repent); but you tend to go back (to disbelief). |
|
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَى إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ |
|
16- |
The Day when We seize (sinful people) by the
Great Seizure, We shall be giving them in fact the retaliation (for their sinful behavior). |
|
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَاءهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ |
|
17- |
And We did test the people of the Pharaoh before them, when a noble Messenger (Moses) came to them. |
|
أَنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ |
|
18- |
Saying: “Deliver the servants of God to me, I am truly a trustworthy Messenger (of God) for you.” |
|
وَأَنْ لَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنِّي آتِيكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
19- |
“And that you should not raise yourselves
against God. I have truly come to you with an evident miracle and sign of authority (from God).” |
|
وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ |
|
20- |
“And I really seek protection from my Lord and your Lord, that you shall not stone me.” |
|
وَإِنْ لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ |
|
21- |
“And if you do not believe me, then at least leave me alone.” |
|
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاء قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ |
|
22- |
He (Moses) then called upon his Lord, saying: “These are really an evil-doing people.” |
|
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ |
|
23- |
(We ordered him): “Move my servants away by night, because you shall be pursued.” |
|
وَاتْرُكْ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ |
|
24- |
“And cross and leave the sea while it is
calm. They (the Pharaoh-people) are an army, who are destined to be drowned.” |
|
كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ |
|
25- |
How many gardens and spring-wells that they left behind, |
|
وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ |
|
26- |
And green crop-fields and splendid palaces of residence, |
|
وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ |
|
27- |
And other blessings which they were enjoying. |
|
كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ |
|
28 |
So it was. And We made other people inherit them. |
|
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ |
|
29- |
And neither the sky, nor the earth shed any tears for them, nor were they given any other chance. |
|
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ |
|
30- |
And indeed We did save the Children of Israel from the humiliating suffering, (inflicted on them), |
|
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ |
|
31- |
From the Pharaoh, He truly was one of the most arrogant, among those who go way beyond their limits. |
|
وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ |
|
32- |
And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above all others because of granting them knowledge. |
|
وَآتَيْنَاهُم مِّنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاء مُّبِينٌ |
|
33- |
And We granted them also some of the advices and instructions, which contained obvious test and trial. |
|
إِنَّ هَؤُلَاء لَيَقُولُونَ |
|
34- |
And (now) these people (of Mecca) keep saying: |
|
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَى وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ |
|
35- |
“There is nothing after our first and only death and we will not be resurrected to life again.” |
|
فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ |
|
36- |
“Then bring our ancestor back if you (Muhammad) are being truthful (about the resurrection).” |
|
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ |
|
37- |
Are they any better or the people of Tubba’
and those before them, which We destroyed? They were indeed similarly sinful. |
|
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ |
|
38- |
And (they should know) that We did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is in between them for play. |
|
مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ |
|
39- |
We did create them only to manifest the Truth, yet most of them are not aware of that. |
|
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَاتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ |
|
40- |
Certainly the Day of Separation (of truth
from falsehood at Resurrection) will be the predetermined gathering time for all of them. |
|
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئًا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ |
|
41- |
The Day when a close friend or relative can be of no help to another, nor will they be helped any other way. |
|
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ |
|
42- |
Except on whom God will have Mercy; since He Alone is the Almighty, the Most Merciful (to the good ones). |
|
إِنَّ شَجَرَةَ الزَّقُّومِ |
|
43- |
As a matter of fact, the Zaqqoom tree (of Hell), |
|
طَعَامُ الْأَثِيمِ |
|
44- |
Will be the food for the very sinful people, |
|
كَالْمُهْلِ يَغْلِي فِي الْبُطُونِ |
|
45- |
it will be like a boiling oil, which will boil around inside their bellies, |
|
كَغَلْيِ الْحَمِيمِ |
|
46- |
Like the boiling feeling of scalding hot water. |
|
خُذُوهُ فَاعْتِلُوهُ إِلَى سَوَاء الْجَحِيمِ |
|
47- |
(It will be commanded by God): “Seize him, then drag him into the middle of The Blazing Hellfire”. |
|
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيمِ |
|
48- |
“Then pour over his head the suffering from the boiling water (of despair).” |
|
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ |
|
49- |
(They will be told:) “Taste this now, you who supposedly were in high power and noble (during your lifetime on earth)”. |
|
إِنَّ هَذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تَمْتَرُونَ |
|
50- |
“This is of course what you kept on having doubt about”. |
|
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ |
|
51- |
The pious, God-conscious people will certainly be in a safe place and in state of security (in Paradise), |
|
فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ |
|
52- |
Inside Gardens and Springs, |
|
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ |
|
53- |
Dressed in fine silk and heavy brocade, facing each other as friends |
|
كَذَلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَاهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ |
|
54- |
So it will be, and We shall unite them with fair looking lovely-eyed ones. |
|
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ آمِنِينَ |
|
55- |
There they order all kinds of fruits, which they will receive, while being safe and secure. |
|
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَى وَوَقَاهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ |
|
56- |
There They will never taste death anymore,
after their previous death (on earth) and so He has already saved them from the suffering of the Blazing Hell-Fire. |
|
فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ |
|
57- |
That is a real favor from your Lord; that is the supreme success. |
|
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ |
|
58- |
So We have made this (Quran) easy to
understand in your tongue, so that they may remember and take it to their hearts. |
|
فَارْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ |
|
59- |
Then just wait (for the result), they are also waiting (for what will happen to them) |
|
