HA MIM.
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Ahmed Ali
The perspicuous Book is witness
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
Ahmed Ali
(That) We sent it down one night of blessing -- so that We could warn --
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
Ahmed Ali
On which all affairs are sorted out and decided
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
Ahmed Ali
As commands from Us. It is indeed We who send (messengers),
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Ahmed Ali
A mercy from your Lord. Verily He is all-hearing and all-knowing,
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Ahmed Ali
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you really do believe.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Ahmed Ali
There is no god other than He, who gives you life and death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Yet they are lost in doubt and play.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
So watch for the day when the sky begins to emit clear smoke,
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
Ahmed Ali
Which would envelope mankind. That would be a grievous affliction.
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Ahmed Ali
"O Lord, take away this torment from us," (they will pray); "we have come to believe."
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Ahmed Ali
How can a warning benefit them? The Apostle who explained all things clearly had come to them,
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ
Ahmed Ali
But they turned away from him, and said: "He is well-instructed, (but) possessed."
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
Ahmed Ali
If We remove the torment a little, you revert back (to misdeeds).
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
Ahmed Ali
The day that We shall seize them with a grievous hold, We will indeed castigate them.
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ
Ahmed Ali
We had tried the people of Pharaoh before them. A respected prophet had come to them (saying):
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
Ahmed Ali
"Deliver the creatures of God to me. I am the trusted messenger sent to you.
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
Do not think yourselves to be above God: I have come to you with clear authority.
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
Ahmed Ali
I have taken refuge in my Lord and your Lord against your stoning me to death.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
Ahmed Ali
If you do not believe in me, leave me alone."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Then he called to his Lord: "These are a sinful people."
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Ahmed Ali
"Journey by night with My devotees," (it was said); "you will certainly be pursued.
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ
Ahmed Ali
(Cross and) leave the sea undisturbed. The (pursuing) hosts will surely be drowned,"
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind,
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
And fields and stately mansions,
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
Ahmed Ali
And the comfort they enjoyed.
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Ahmed Ali
Thus it was; and We passed them on to another people.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
Ahmed Ali
Neither did the heavens weep for them, nor the earth, nor were they granted respite.
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
Ahmed Ali
So We saved the children of Israel from degrading suffering
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
Ahmed Ali
They (had experienced) under the Pharaoh. He was certainly a tyrant, guilty of excess.
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Ahmed Ali
And We exalted them over the other people knowingly,
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ
Ahmed Ali
And sent them tokens to bring out the best in them.
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Even then they say:
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.
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Ahmed Ali
So bring our ancestors back, if you are truthful."
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?
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.
مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Ahmed Ali
We created them with definite purpose; but most of them do not understand.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ahmed Ali
The Day of Judgement is your promised day of meeting,
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,
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.
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Ahmed Ali
The tree of Zaqqum will indeed be
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
Ahmed Ali
The food of sinners.
كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ
Ahmed Ali
It is like pitch. It will fume in the belly
كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
Ahmed Ali
As does boiling water.
خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Ahmed Ali
"Seize him and drag him into the depths of Hell," (it will be said),
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
Ahmed Ali
"Then pour over his head the torment of scalding water."
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ
Ahmed Ali
"Taste it," (they will be told). "You were indeed the mighty and noble!
إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ
Ahmed Ali
This is certainly what you had denied."
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
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
In the midst of gardens and of springs,
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ
Ahmed Ali
Dressed in brocade and shot silk, facing one another.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
Just like that. We shall pair them with companions with large black eyes.
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ
Ahmed Ali
They will call for every kind of fruit with satisfaction.
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
فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Ahmed Ali
By the beneficence of your Lord. This will be the great success.
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Therefore We have made this (Qur'an) easy in your tongue. They may haply take a warning.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ
Ahmed Ali
So you wait. They are also waiting.
