44 : 11

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

We had tried the people of Pharaoh before them. A respected prophet had come to them (saying):

44 : 23

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Ahmed Ali

"Journey by night with My devotees," (it was said); "you will certainly be pursued.

44 : 24

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ

Ahmed Ali

(Cross and) leave the sea undisturbed. The (pursuing) hosts will surely be drowned,"

44 : 25

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

Ahmed Ali

How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind,

44 : 26

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

Ahmed Ali

And fields and stately mansions,

44 : 27

وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ

Neither did the heavens weep for them, nor the earth, nor were they granted respite.

44 : 30

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

Ahmed Ali

So We saved the children of Israel from degrading suffering

44 : 31

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Ahmed Ali

They (had experienced) under the Pharaoh. He was certainly a tyrant, guilty of excess.

44 : 32

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Ahmed Ali

And We exalted them over the other people knowingly,

44 : 33

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ

Ahmed Ali

And sent them tokens to bring out the best in them.

44 : 34

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

Ahmed Ali

Even then they say:

44 : 35

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

Ahmed Ali

"There is no dying for us but once; and we shall not be raised again.

44 : 36

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Ahmed Ali

So bring our ancestors back, if you are truthful."

44 : 37

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

Ahmed Ali

Are they better than the people of Tubba, and those who had lived before them, whom We destroyed as they were sinners?

44 : 38

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

Ahmed Ali

We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, out of play.

44 : 39

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Ahmed Ali

We created them with definite purpose; but most of them do not understand.

44 : 40

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Ahmed Ali

The Day of Judgement is your promised day of meeting,

44 : 41

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

Ahmed Ali

The day when friend will help no friend in the least, nor will they be helped,

44 : 42

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Ahmed Ali

Apart from those to whom God is kind. He is all-mighty and all-merciful.

44 : 43

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Ahmed Ali

The tree of Zaqqum will indeed be

44 : 44

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

Ahmed Ali

The food of sinners.

44 : 45

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

Ahmed Ali

It is like pitch. It will fume in the belly

44 : 46

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Ahmed Ali

As does boiling water.

44 : 47

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Ahmed Ali

"Seize him and drag him into the depths of Hell," (it will be said),

44 : 48

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Ahmed Ali

"Then pour over his head the torment of scalding water."

44 : 49

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

Ahmed Ali

"Taste it," (they will be told). "You were indeed the mighty and noble!

44 : 50

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

Ahmed Ali

This is certainly what you had denied."

44 : 51

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ

Ahmed Ali

Surely those who fear and follow the straight path will be in a place of peace and security

44 : 52

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

Ahmed Ali

In the midst of gardens and of springs,

44 : 53

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

Ahmed Ali

Dressed in brocade and shot silk, facing one another.

44 : 54

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ

Ahmed Ali

Just like that. We shall pair them with companions with large black eyes.

44 : 55

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

Ahmed Ali

They will call for every kind of fruit with satisfaction.

44 : 56

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Ahmed Ali

There they will not know any death apart from the first death they had died, and will be kept safe from the torment of Hell

44 : 57

فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Ahmed Ali

By the beneficence of your Lord. This will be the great success.

44 : 58

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Ahmed Ali

Therefore We have made this (Qur'an) easy in your tongue. They may haply take a warning.

44 : 59

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

Ahmed Ali
