Ad-Dukhan

Ḥa. Mim.

حم

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

وٱلكتب ٱلمبين إنآ أنزلنه في ليلة مبركة إنا كنا منذرين

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

فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم أمرا من عندنآ

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

إنه هو ٱلسميع ٱلعليم

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

رب ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهمآ إن كنتم موقنين

your Guardian and the Guardian of your earliest forefathers.

ربكم ورب ءابآئكم ٱلأولين

But they play in doubt.

بل هم في شك يلعبون

this is a painful punishment.

هذا عذاب أليم

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

ربنا ٱكشف عنا ٱلعذاب إنا مؤمنون

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"?

أنى لهم ٱلذكرى وقد جآءهم رسول مبين ثم تولوا عنه وقالوا معلم مجنون

but you will indeed relapse.

إنكم عآئدون

We will indeed take vengeance.

إنا 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 وجآءهم رسول كريم أن أدوا إلى عباد ٱلله إني لكم رسول أمين وأن لا تعلوا على ٱلله إني ءاتيكم بسلطن مبين وإني عذت بربي وربكم أن ترجمون وإن لم تؤمنوا لي فٱعتزلون

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

فدعا ربه أن هؤلآء قوم مجرمون

They are indeed an army that will be drowned."

إنهم 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.

وأورثنها قوما ءاخرين

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

فما بكت عليهم ٱلسمآء وٱلأرض وما كانوا منظرين

He was, among the excessive, a haughty one.

إنه كان عاليا من ٱلمسرفين

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

ولقد ٱخترنهم على علم على ٱلعلمين وءاتينهم من ٱلءايت ما فيه بلؤا 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."

إن هؤلآء ليقولون إن هي إلا موتتنا ٱلأولى وما نحن بمنشرين فأتوا بابآئنآ إن كنتم صدقين

They were indeed severed.

إنهم كانوا مجرمين

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

وما خلقنا ٱلسموت وٱلأرض وما بينهما لعبين

but most of them do not know.

ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون

He is indeed the All-Powerful, the Benevolent.

إنه هو ٱلعزيز ٱلرحيم

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

إن شجرت ٱلزقوم طعام ٱلأثيم كٱلمهل يغلي في ٱلبطون كغلي ٱلحميم

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

إنك أنت ٱلعزيز ٱلكريم

This is indeed what you used to contend about.

إن 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.

إن ٱلمتقين في مقام أمين في جنت وعيون يلبسون من سندس وإستبرق 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.

إلا ٱلموتة ٱلأولى

That is the immense triumph.

ذلك هو ٱلفوز ٱلعظيم

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

فإنما يسرنه بلسانك لعلهم يتذكرون

they are watching.

إنهم مرتقبون
