44. Surah Ad-Dukhan

Ḥā, Meem.1

— Saheeh International

By the clear Book,

— Saheeh International

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night.1 Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

— Saheeh International

Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct1 every precise matter -

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger [i.e., Moses],

— Saheeh International

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allāh.1 Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.1

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And leave the sea in stillness.1 Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

— Saheeh International

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

— Saheeh International

And crops and noble sites

— Saheeh International

And comfort wherein they were amused.

— Saheeh International

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Are they better or the people of Tubbaʿ1 and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International
