Há Mím.

2. |
By the Book that makes things clear;-
|
|
3. |
We sent it down during a blessed night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
|
|
4. |
In that (night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
|
|
5. |
By command, from Us. For We (ever) send (revelations),
|
|
6. |
As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
|
|
7. |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.
|
|
8. |
There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,- The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
|
|
9. |
Yet they play about in doubt.
|
|
10. |
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
|
|
11. |
Enveloping the people: this will be a Chastisement Grievous.
|
|
12. |
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Chastisement from us, for we do really believe!"
|
|
13. |
How should they have the Reminder, seeing that a Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,-
|
|
14. |
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
|
|
15. |
We shall indeed remove the Chastisement for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
|
|
16. |
The Day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
|
|
17. |
We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honorable,
|
|
18. |
Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah. I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust;
|
|
19. |
"And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.
|
|
20. |
"For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
|
|
21. |
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
|
|
22. |
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
|
|
23. |
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
|
|
24. |
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
|
|
25. |
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
|
|
26. |
And corn-fields and noble buildings,
|
|
27. |
And pleasant things, wherein they had taken such delight!
|
|
28. |
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
|
|
29. |
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
|
|
30. |
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
|
|
31. |
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
|
|
32. |
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
|
|
33. |
And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
|
|
34. |
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
|
|
35. |
"There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
|
|
36. |
"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
|
|
37. |
What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.
|
|
38. |
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:
|
|
39. |
We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not know.
|
|
40. |
Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them,-
|
|
41. |
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,
|
|
42. |
Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
|
|
43. |
Verily the tree of Zaqqüm
|
|
44. |
Will be the food of the Sinful,-
|
|
45. |
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
|
|
46. |
Like the boiling of scalding water.
|
|
47. |
(A voice will cry): "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
|
|
48. |
"Then pour over his head the Chastisement of Boiling Water,
|
|
49. |
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honor!
|
|
50. |
"Truly this is what ye used to doubt!"
|
|
51. |
As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security,
|
|
52. |
Among Gardens and Springs;
|
|
53. |
Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other;
|
|
54. |
So; and We shall wed them to maidens with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.
|
|
55. |
There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security;
|
|
56. |
Nor will they there taste death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Chastisement of the Blazing Fire,-
|
|
57. |
As a Bounty from thy Lord! That will be the supreme achievement!
|
|
58. |
Verily, We have made this (Qurán) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.
|
|
59. |
So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting.
