Ha, Meem.

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

By the Enlightening Scripture.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ

We have revealed it on a Blessed Night-We have warned.

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

In it is distinguished every wise command.

أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

A decree from Us. We have been sending messages.

رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

As mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you know for sure.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

There is no god but He. He gives life and causes death-your Lord and Lord of your ancestors of old.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ

Yet they play around in doubt.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

So watch out for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke.

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

Enveloping mankind; this is a painful punishment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ

"Our Lord, lift the torment from us, we are believers."

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

But how can they be reminded? An enlightening messenger has already come to them.

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ

But they turned away from him, and said, "Educated, but crazy!"

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

We will ease the punishment a little, but you will revert.

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

The Day when We launch the Great Assault-We will avenge.

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ

Before them We tested the people of Pharaoh; a noble messenger came to them.

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ

Saying, "Hand over God's servants to me. I am an honest messenger to you."

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

And, "Do not exalt yourselves above God. I come to you with clear authority.

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

I have taken refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

But if you do not believe in me, keep away from me."

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ

He appealed to his Lord: "These are a sinful people."

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

"Set out with My servants by night-you will be followed.

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ

And cross the sea quickly; they are an army to be drowned."

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind?

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

And plantations, and splendid buildings.

وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ

And comforts they used to enjoy.

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

So it was; and We passed it on to another people.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

And We delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating persecution.

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

From Pharaoh. He was a transgressing tyrant.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

And We chose them knowingly over all other people.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ

Tajweed highlighting is unavailable for this verse: the source annotations do not align with the displayed text.

And We gave them many signs, in which was an obvious test.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

These people say.

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

"There is nothing but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Bring back our ancestors, if you are truthful."

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

Are they better, or the people of Tubba and those before them? We annihilated them. They were evildoers.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them to play.

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

We created them only for a specific purpose, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

The Day of Sorting Out is the appointed time for them all.

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

The Day when no friend will avail a friend in any way, and they will not be helped.

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Except for him upon whom God has mercy. He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

The Tree of Bitterness.

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

The food of the sinner.

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

Like molten lead; boiling inside the bellies.

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Like the boiling of seething water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Seize him and drag him into the midst of Hell!

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Then pour over his head the suffering of the Inferno!

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

Taste! You who were powerful and noble.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

This is what you used to doubt.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ

As for the righteous, they will be in a secure place.

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

Amidst gardens and springs.

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

Dressed in silk and brocade, facing one another.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ

So it is, and We will wed them to lovely companions.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

They will call therein for every kind of fruit, in peace and security.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Therein they will not taste death, beyond the first death; and He will protect them from the torment of Hell.

فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

A favor from your Lord. That is the supreme salvation.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

We made it easy in your language, so that they may remember.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

So wait and watch. They too are waiting and watching.
