Ha Mim!
|
2. |
I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).
|
3. |
Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning--
|
4. |
Therein every wise affair is made distinct,
|
5. |
A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),
|
6. |
A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
|
7. |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
|
8. |
There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.
|
9. |
Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.
|
10. |
Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,
|
11. |
That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.
|
12. |
Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.
|
13. |
How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),
|
14. |
Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.
|
15. |
Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).
|
16. |
On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.
|
17. |
And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,
|
18. |
Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,
|
19. |
And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:
|
20. |
And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:
|
21. |
And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
|
22. |
Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
|
23. |
So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:
|
24. |
And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned
|
25. |
How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!
|
26. |
And cornfields and noble places!
|
27. |
And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;
|
28. |
Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.
|
29. |
So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited
|
30. |
And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,
|
31. |
From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.
|
32. |
And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.
|
33. |
And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.
|
34. |
Most surely these do say:
|
35. |
There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again.
|
36. |
So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.
|
37. |
Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
|
38. |
And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.
|
39. |
We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.
|
40. |
Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them
|
41. |
The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,
|
42. |
Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.
|
43. |
Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,
|
44. |
Is the food of the sinful
|
45. |
Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,
|
46. |
Like the boiling of hot water.
|
47. |
Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;
|
48. |
Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water:
|
49. |
Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:
|
50. |
Surely this is what you disputed about.
|
51. |
Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place,
|
52. |
In gardens and springs;
|
53. |
They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face;
|
54. |
Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.
|
55. |
They shall call therein for every fruit in security;
|
56. |
They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,
|
57. |
A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.
|
58. |
So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.
|
59. |
Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
