In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
44:1. Ha, Meem.
44:2. By the Enlightening Scripture.
44:3. We have revealed it on a Blessed Night—We have warned.
44:4. In it is distinguished every wise command.
44:5. A decree from Us. We have been sending messages.
44:6. As mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
44:7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you know for sure.
44:8. There is no Allah but He. He gives life and causes death—your Lord and Lord of your ancestors of old.
44:9. Yet they play around in doubt.
44:10. So watch out for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke.
44:11. Enveloping mankind; this is a painful punishment.
44:12. “Our Lord, lift the torment from us, we are believers.”
44:13. But how can they be reminded? An enlightening messenger has already come to them.
44:14. But they turned away from him, and said, “Educated, but crazy!”
44:15. We will ease the punishment a little, but you will revert.
44:16. The Day when We launch the Great Assault—We will avenge.
44:17. Before them We tested the people of Pharaoh; a noble messenger came to them.
44:18. Saying, “Hand over Allah’s servants to me. I am an honest messenger to you.”
44:19. And, “Do not exalt yourselves above Allah. I come to you with clear authority.
44:20. I have taken refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
44:21. But if you do not believe in me, keep away from me.”
44:22. He appealed to his Lord: “These are a sinful people.”
44:23. “Set out with My servants by night—you will be followed.
44:24. And cross the sea quickly; they are an army to be drowned.”
44:25. How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind?
44:26. And plantations, and splendid buildings.
44:27. And comforts they used to enjoy.
44:28. So it was; and We passed it on to another people.
44:29. Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor were they reprieved.
44:30. And We delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating persecution.
44:31. From Pharaoh. He was a transgressing tyrant.
44:32. And We chose them knowingly over all other people.
44:33. And We gave them many signs, in which was an obvious test.
44:34. These people say.
44:35. “There is nothing but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
44:36. Bring back our ancestors, if you are truthful.”
44:37. Are they better, or the people of Tubba and those before them? We annihilated them. They were evildoers.
44:38. We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them to play.
44:39. We created them only for a specific purpose, but most of them do not know.
44:40. The Day of Sorting Out is the appointed time for them all.
44:41. The Day when no friend will avail a friend in any way, and they will not be helped.
44:42. Except for him upon whom Allah has mercy. He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
44:43. The Tree of Bitterness.
44:44. The food of the sinner.
44:45. Like molten lead; boiling inside the bellies.
44:46. Like the boiling of seething water.
44:47. Seize him and drag him into the midst of Hell!
44:48. Then pour over his head the suffering of the Inferno!
44:49. Taste! You who were powerful and noble.
44:50. This is what you used to doubt.
44:51. As for the righteous, they will be in a secure place.
44:52. Amidst gardens and springs.
44:53. Dressed in silk and brocade, facing one another.
44:54. So it is, and We will wed them to lovely companions.
44:55. They will call therein for every kind of fruit, in peace and security.
44:56. Therein they will not taste death, beyond the first death; and He will protect them from the torment of Hell.
44:57. A favor from your Lord. That is the supreme salvation.
44:58. We made it easy in your language, so that they may remember.
44:59. So wait and watch. They too are waiting and watching.
