"The Smoke"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
"44.1": Ha Mim!
"44.2": I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).
"44.3": Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning --
"44.4": Therein every wise affair is made distinct,
"44.5": A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),
"44.6": A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
"44.7": The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
"44.8": There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.
"44.9": Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.
"44.10": Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,
"44.11": That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.
"44.12": Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.
"44.13": How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),
"44.14": Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.
"44.15": Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).
"44.16": On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.
"44.17": And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,
"44.18": Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,
"44.19": And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:
"44.20": And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:
"44.21": And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
"44.22": Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
"44.23": So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:
"44.24": And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.
"44.25": How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!
"44.26": And cornfields and noble places!
"44.27": And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;
"44.28": Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.
"44.29": So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.
"44.30": And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,
"44.31": From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.
"44.32": And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.
"44.33": And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.
"44.34": Most surely these do say:
"44.35": There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again.
"44.36": So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.
"44.37": Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
"44.38": And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.
"44.39": We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.
"44.40": Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them
"44.41": The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,
"44.42": Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.
"44.43": Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,
"44.44": Is the food of the sinful
"44.45": Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,
"44.46": Like the boiling of hot water.
"44.47": Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;
"44.48": Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water:
"44.49": Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:
"44.50": Surely this is what you disputed about.
"44.51": Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place,
"44.52": In gardens and springs;
"44.53": They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face;
"44.54": Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.
"44.55": They shall call therein for every fruit in security;
"44.56": They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,
"44.57": A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.
"44.58": So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.
"44.59": Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
