Ad-Dukhan

Ḥa. Mim.

حم

By the clear Scripture! We indeed sent it down in a blessed night; We are warners.

والكتب المبين انا انزلنه في ليلة مبركة انا كنا منذرين

In it, every wise matter is set apart, a command from Us.

فيها يفرق كل امر حكيم امرا من عندنا

It is indeed He, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,

انه هو السميع العليم

the Guardian of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you are of those who know with certainty.

رب السموت والارض وما بينهما ان كنتم موقنين

your Guardian and the Guardian of your earliest forefathers.

ربكم ورب ءابايكم الاولين

But they play in doubt.

بل هم في شك يلعبون

this is a painful punishment.

هذا عذاب اليم

"Our Guardian, remove the punishment from us; we indeed believe."

ربنا اكشف عنا العذاب انا مومنون

How would the reminder benefit them, when a clear messenger had come to them, then they turned their backs on him and said: "One taught, deranged"?

انى لهم الذكرى وقد جاءهم رسول مبين ثم تولوا عنه وقالوا معلم مجنون

but you will indeed relapse.

انكم عايدون

We will indeed take vengeance.

انا منتقمون

Before them, We tried the people of Fir'awn, and a noble messenger came to them: "Hand over to me the obedient ones of God; I am indeed for you a trustworthy messenger; and do not exalt yourselves against God — I bring you manifest authority; and I take refuge in my Guardian and yours against your banishing me; and if you do not give me credit, then keep away from me."

ولقد فتنا قبلهم قوم فرعون وجاءهم رسول كريم ان ادوا الى عباد الله اني لكم رسول امين وان لا تعلوا على الله اني ءاتيكم بسلطن مبين واني عذت بربي وربكم ان ترجمون وان لم تومنوا لي فاعتزلون

So he called upon his Guardian: "These are a severed people."

فدعا ربه ان هولاء قوم مجرمون

They are indeed an army that will be drowned.

انهم جند مغرقون

How many gardens and springs they left behind, and crops, and noble stations, and well-being in which they took delight.

كم تركوا من جنت وعيون وزروع ومقام كريم ونعمة كانوا فيها فكهين

And We made another people inherit them.

واورثنها قوما ءاخرين

Neither the sky nor the earth wept over them, and they were granted no reprieve.

فما بكت عليهم السماء والارض وما كانوا منظرين

He was, among the excessive, a haughty one.

انه كان عاليا من المسرفين

We opted for them, knowingly, above all beings, and We gave them, among the signs, that which held a manifest testing.

ولقد اخترنهم على علم على العلمين وءاتينهم من الءايت ما فيه بلوا مبين

These surely say: "There is nothing but our first death, and we will not be deployed. Bring back our forefathers, if you are veracious."

ان هولاء ليقولون ان هي الا موتتنا الاولى وما نحن بمنشرين فاتوا باباينا ان كنتم صدقين

They were indeed severed.

انهم كانوا مجرمين

We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in play.

وما خلقنا السموت والارض وما بينهما لعبين

but most of them do not know.

ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون

He is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent.

انه هو العزيز الرحيم

Indeed, the tree of Zaqqoum is the food of the hardened transgressor; like molten metal, it boils in the bellies as boiling water boils.

ان شجرت الزقوم طعام الاثيم كالمهل يغلي في البطون كغلي الحميم

"It is indeed you, the mighty, the noble!"

انك انت العزيز الكريم

This is indeed what you used to contend about.

ان هذا ما كنتم به تمترون

Those who guard themselves will indeed be in a secure place, in gardens and springs, wearing fine silk and brocade, facing one another.

ان المتقين في مقام امين في جنت وعيون يلبسون من سندس واستبرق متقبلين

And We will unite them with companions of listening and support.

وزوجنهم بحور عين

They will call therein for every savoury fruit, secure.

يدعون فيها بكل فكهة ءامنين

except the first death.

الا الموتة الاولى

That is the immense triumph.

ذلك هو الفوز العظيم

We have made it easy on your tongue only in the hope that they will remember.

فانما يسرنه بلسانك لعلهم يتذكرون

they are watching.

انهم مرتقبون
