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

وَّاَنۡ لَّا تَعۡلُوۡا عَلَي اللّٰهِؕ اِنِّيۡ٘ اٰتِيۡكُمۡ بِسُلۡطٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍۚ‏

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

وَاِنِّيۡ عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّيۡ وَرَبِّكُمۡ اَنۡ تَرۡجُمُوۡنِۚ‏

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

وَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوۡا لِيۡ فَاعۡتَزِلُوۡنِ

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

فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗ٘ اَنَّ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمٌ مُّجۡرِمُوۡنَ

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

فَاَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيۡ لَيۡلًا اِنَّكُمۡ مُّتَّبَعُوۡنَۙ‏

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

وَاتۡرُكِ الۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاؕ اِنَّهُمۡ جُنۡدٌ مُّغۡرَقُوۡنَ

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

كَمۡ تَرَكُوۡا مِنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۙ‏

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَّزُرُوۡعٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏

And crops and noble sites

وَّنَعۡمَةٍ كَانُوۡا فِيۡهَا فٰكِهِيۡنَۙ‏

And comfort wherein they were amused

كَذٰلِكَࣞ وَاَوۡرَثۡنٰهَا قَوۡمًا اٰخَرِيۡنَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوۡا مُنۡظَرِيۡنَࣖ‏

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

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيۡ٘ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ مِنَ الۡعَذَابِ الۡمُهِيۡنِۙ‏

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

مِنۡ فِرۡعَوۡنَؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ

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

وَلَقَدِ اخۡتَرۡنٰهُمۡ عَلٰي عِلۡمٍ عَلَي الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۚ‏

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

وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاٰيٰتِ مَا فِيۡهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِيۡنٌ

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

اِنَّ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying

اِنۡ هِيَ اِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا الۡاُوۡلٰي وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنۡشَرِيۡنَ

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

فَاۡتُوۡا بِاٰبَآئِنَا٘ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ

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

اَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ اَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعٍۙ وَّالَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡؕ اَهۡلَكۡنٰهُمۡؗ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا مُجۡرِمِيۡنَ

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

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيۡنَ

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

مَا خَلَقۡنٰهُمَا٘ اِلَّا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

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

اِنَّ يَوۡمَ الۡفَصۡلِ مِيۡقَاتُهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ‏

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

يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِيۡ مَوۡلًي عَنۡ مَّوۡلًي شَيۡـًٔا وَّلَا هُمۡ يُنۡصَرُوۡنَۙ‏

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

اِلَّا مَنۡ رَّحِمَ اللّٰهُؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الرَّحِيۡمُࣖ‏

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

اِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّوۡمِۙ‏

Indeed, the tree of zaqqum

طَعَامُ الۡاَثِيۡمِۚۛۖ‏

Is food for the sinful

كَالۡمُهۡلِۚۛ يَغۡلِيۡ فِي الۡبُطُوۡنِۙ‏

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

كَغَلۡيِ الۡحَمِيۡمِ

Like the boiling of scalding water

خُذُوۡهُ فَاعۡتِلُوۡهُ اِلٰي سَوَآءِ الۡجَحِيۡمِۙ‏

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

ثُمَّ صُبُّوۡا فَوۡقَ رَاۡسِهٖ مِنۡ عَذَابِ الۡحَمِيۡمِؕ‏

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water

ذُقۡۚۖ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡكَرِيۡمُ

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

اِنَّ هٰذَا مَا كُنۡتُمۡ بِهٖ تَمۡتَرُوۡنَ

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute

اِنَّ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ فِيۡ مَقَامٍ اَمِيۡنٍۙ‏

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place

فِيۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۚۙ‏

Within gardens and springs

يَّلۡبَسُوۡنَ مِنۡ سُنۡدُسٍ وَّاِسۡتَبۡرَقٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيۡنَۚۙ‏

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

كَذٰلِكَࣞ وَزَوَّجۡنٰهُمۡ بِحُوۡرٍ عِيۡنٍؕ‏

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

يَدۡعُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ اٰمِنِيۡنَۙ‏

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

لَا يَذُوۡقُوۡنَ فِيۡهَا الۡمَوۡتَ اِلَّا الۡمَوۡتَةَ الۡاُوۡلٰيۚ وَوَقٰىهُمۡ عَذَابَ الۡجَحِيۡمِۙ‏

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

فَضۡلًا مِّنۡ رَّبِّكَؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُ

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

فَاِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُوۡنَ

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

فَارۡتَقِبۡ اِنَّهُمۡ مُّرۡتَقِبُوۡنَࣖ‏

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