Surah Ad-Dukhan

Ha, Meem

By the clear Book

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind]

On that night is made distinct every precise matter

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves

Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke

Covering the people; this is a painful torment

[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers

How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger

Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman

Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief]

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people

[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

And crops and noble sites

And comfort wherein they were amused

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying

There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all

The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped

Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

Indeed, the tree of zaqqum

Is food for the sinful

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

Like the boiling of scalding water

[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place

Within gardens and springs

Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other

Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes

They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure

They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment

And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded

So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end]
