حٰمٓۚۛ‏

Ha, Meem

وَالۡكِتٰبِ الۡمُبِيۡنِۙۛ‏

By the clear Book

اِنَّا٘ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ فِيۡ لَيۡلَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُنۡذِرِيۡنَ

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

فِيۡهَا يُفۡرَقُ كُلُّ اَمۡرٍ حَكِيۡمٍۙ‏

On that night is made distinct every precise matter

اَمۡرًا مِّنۡ عِنۡدِنَاؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِيۡنَۚ‏

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

رَحۡمَةً مِّنۡ رَّبِّكَؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُۙ‏

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

رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۘ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّوۡقِنِيۡنَ

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

لَا٘ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ يُحۡيٖ وَيُمِيۡتُؕ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآئِكُمُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ

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

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِيۡ شَكٍّ يَّلۡعَبُوۡنَ

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves

فَارۡتَقِبۡ يَوۡمَ تَاۡتِي السَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِيۡنٍۙ‏

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

يَّغۡشَي النَّاسَؕ هٰذَا عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ

Covering the people; this is a painful torment

رَبَّنَا اكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا الۡعَذَابَ اِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ

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

اَنّٰي لَهُمُ الذِّكۡرٰي وَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۙ‏

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

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡا عَنۡهُ وَقَالُوۡا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجۡنُوۡنٌۘ‏

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

اِنَّا كَاشِفُوا الۡعَذَابِ قَلِيۡلًا اِنَّكُمۡ عَآئِدُوۡنَۘ‏

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

يَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ الۡبَطۡشَةَ الۡكُبۡرٰيۚ اِنَّا مُنۡتَقِمُوۡنَ

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

وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَآءَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ كَرِيۡمٌۙ‏

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

اَنۡ اَدُّوۡ٘ا اِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللّٰهِؕ اِنِّيۡ لَكُمۡ رَسُوۡلٌ اَمِيۡنٌۙ‏

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