بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ حمٓ ﴿1﴾

Haa Meeem

44:1Ha, Meem.

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ﴿2﴾

Wal Kitaabil Mubeen

44:2By the Manifest Book!

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ﴿3﴾

Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen

44:3We sent it down on a blessed night, and We have been warning [mankind].

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ﴿4﴾

Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem

44:4Every definitive matter is resolved on it,

أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ﴿5﴾

Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen

44:5as an ordinance from Us. We have been sending [apostles]

رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴿6﴾

Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

44:6as a mercy from your Lord—indeed He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing—

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ﴿7﴾

Rabbis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa; in kuntum mooqineen

44:7the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, should you have conviction.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿8﴾

Laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa yuhyee wa yumeetu Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

44:8There is no god except Him: He gives life and brings death, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ﴿9﴾

Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon

44:9But they play around in doubt.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿10﴾

Fartaqib Yawma taatis samaaa'u bidukhaanim mubeen

44:10So watch out for the day when the sky brings on a manifest smoke,

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ﴿11﴾

Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem

44:11enveloping the people. [They will cry out:] ‘This is a painful punishment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿12﴾

Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon

44:12Our Lord! Remove this punishment from us. Indeed we have believed!’

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ﴿13﴾

Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen

44:13What will the admonition avail them, when a manifest apostle had already come to them,

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ ﴿14﴾

Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon

44:14but they turned away from him, and said, ‘A tutored madman?’

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ ﴿15﴾

Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon

44:15Indeed We will withdraw the punishment a little; but you will revert [to your earlier ways].

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ﴿16﴾

Yawma nabtishul batsha tal kubraa innaa muntaqimoon

44:16The day We shall strike with the most terrible striking, We will indeed take vengeance [on them].

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ ﴿17﴾

Wa laqad fatannaa qablahum qawma Fir'awna wa jaaa'ahum Rasoolun kareem

44:17Certainly We tried the people of Pharaoh before them, when a noble apostle came to them,

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ﴿18﴾

An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

44:18[saying,] ‘Give over the servants of Allah to me; indeed I am a trusted apostle [sent] to you.

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴿19﴾

Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen

44:19Do not defy Allah. Indeed I bring you a manifest authority.

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ ﴿20﴾

Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon

44:20I seek the protection of my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me.

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ ﴿21﴾

Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon

44:21And if you do not believe me, keep out of my way.’

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ ﴿22﴾

Fada'aa rabbahooo anna haaa'ulaaa'i qawmum mujrimoon

44:22Then he invoked his Lord, [saying,] ‘These are indeed a guilty lot.’

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ﴿23﴾

Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon

44:23[Allah told him,] ‘Set out by night with My servants; for you will be pursued.

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ ﴿24﴾

Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon

44:24Leave behind the sea unmoving; for they will be a drowned host.’

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ﴿25﴾

Kam tarakoo min jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

44:25How many gardens and springs did they leave behind!

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ﴿26﴾

Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem

44:26Fields and splendid places,

وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ ﴿27﴾

Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen

44:27and the affluence wherein they rejoiced!

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ﴿28﴾

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen

44:28So it was; and We bequeathed them to another people.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ ﴿29﴾

Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen

44:29So neither the sky wept for them, nor the earth; nor were they granted any respite.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ ﴿30﴾

Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen

44:30Certainly We delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿31﴾

Min Fir'awn; innahoo kaana 'aaliyam minal musrifeen

44:31of Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a tyrant among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿32﴾

Wa laqadikh tarnaahum 'alaa 'ilmin 'alal 'aalameen

44:32Certainly We chose them knowingly above all the nations,

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ ﴿33﴾

Wa aatainaahum minal aayaati maa feehi balaaa'um mubeen

44:33and We gave them some signs in which there was a manifest test.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿34﴾

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i la yaqooloon

44:34These ones say,

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ﴿35﴾

In hiya illaa mawtatunal oolaa wa maa nahnu bimun shareen

44:35‘It will be only our first death, and we shall not be resurrected.

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴿36﴾

Faatoo bi aabaaa'inaaa inkuntum saadiqeen

44:36Bring our fathers back [to life], if you are truthful.’

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ ﴿37﴾

Ahum khayrun am qawmu Tubba'inw wallazeena min qablihim; ahlaknaahum innahum kaanoo mujrimeen

44:37Are they better, or the people of Tubba‘, and those who were before them? We destroyed them; indeed, they were guilty.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ﴿38﴾

Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa baina humaa laa'ibeen

44:38We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them for play.

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿39﴾

Maa khalaqnaahumaaa illaa bilhaqqi wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon

44:39We did not create them except with consummate wisdom; but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿40﴾

Inna yawmal fasli meeqaatuhum ajma'een

44:40Indeed the Day of Judgement is the tryst for them all,

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ﴿41﴾

Yawma laa yughnee mawlan 'am mawlan shai'anw wa laa hum yunsaroon

44:41the day when a friend will not avail a friend in any way, nor will they be helped,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴿42﴾

Illaa mar rahimal laah' innahoo huwal 'azeezur raheem

44:42except for him on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed He is the All-mighty, the All-merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ﴿43﴾

Inna shajarataz zaqqoom

44:43Indeed the tree of Zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ ﴿44﴾

Ta'aamul aseem

44:44will be the food of the sinful.

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ ﴿45﴾

Kalmuhli yaghlee filbutoon

44:45Like molten copper it will boil in their bellies,

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ﴿46﴾

Kaghalyil hameem

44:46seething like boiling water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿47﴾

Khuzoohu fa'tiloohu ilaa sawaaa'il Jaheem

44:47[The keepers of hell will be told,] ‘Seize him and drag him to the middle of hell,

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ﴿48﴾

Summa subboo fawqa raasihee min 'azaabil hameem

44:48then pour over his head boiling water as punishment,

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ ﴿49﴾

Zuq innaka antal 'azeezul kareem

44:49[and tell them,] “Taste this! Indeed you are the [self-styled] mighty and noble!

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ ﴿50﴾

Inna haazaa maa kuntum bihee tamtaroon

44:50This is what you used to doubt!’

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ ﴿51﴾

Innal muttaqeena fee maqaamin ameen

44:51Indeed the Godwary will be in a safe place,

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ﴿52﴾

Fee jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

44:52amid gardens and springs,

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ﴿53﴾

Yalbasoona min sundusinw wa istbraqim mutaqaabileen

44:53dressed in fine silk and brocade, sitting face to face.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ ﴿54﴾

Kazaalika wa zawwajnaahum bihoorin 'een

44:54So shall it be, and We shall wed them to black-eyed houris.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ ﴿55﴾

Yad'oona feehaa bikulli faakihatin aamineen

44:55Secure [from any kind of harm,] there they will call for every kind of fruit [they wish].

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿56﴾

Laa yazooqoona feehal mawtaa illal mawtatal oolaa wa qaqaahum 'azaabal jaheem

44:56Other than the first death, they will not taste death therein, and He will save them from the punishment of hell

فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿57﴾

Fadlam mir rabbik; zaalika huwal fawzul 'azeem

44:57—a grace from your Lord. That is the great success.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿58﴾

Fa innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika la'allahum yatazakkaroon

44:58Indeed We have made it simple in your language, so that they may take admonition.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ ﴿59﴾

Fartaqib innahum murta qiboon

44:59So wait! They [too] are waiting.
