Chapter 44
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
44:1 HM.
44:2 And the clarifying Book.
44:3 We have sent it down in a blessed night. Surely, We were to warn.
44:4 In it, is a decree for every matter of wisdom.
44:5 A decree from Us. Surely, We were to send messengers.
44:6 A mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.
44:7 The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If you were certain!
44:8 There is no god except He. He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors.
44:9 No; they are in doubt, playing.
44:10 Therefore, watch for the day when the heaven will bring a visible smoke.
44:11 It will envelop the people: “This is a painful retribution!”
44:12 “Our Lord, remove the retribution from us; we are believers.”
44:13 How is it that now they remember, while a clarifying messenger had come to them?
44:14 But then, they turned away from him and said: “Clearly educated, but crazy!”
44:15 We will remove the retribution in a while; you will then return back.
44:16 On the Day We strike the great strike, We will avenge.
44:17 And We had tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and an honorable messenger came to them.
44:18 “Restore to me the servants of God. I am a trustworthy messenger to you.”
44:19 “And, do not transgress against God. I come to you with clear authority.”
44:20 “And I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, should you stone me.”
44:21 “And if you do not believe in me, then have no dealing with me.”
44:22 Subsequently, he called on his Lord: “These are a criminal people.”
44:23 You shall travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued.
44:24 And cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned.
44:25 How many gardens and springs did they leave behind?
44:26 And crops and an honorable station?
44:27 And blessings that they enjoyed?
44:28 Thus it was; and We caused another people to inherit it.
44:29 Neither the heaven, nor the earth wept over them, and they were not respited.
44:30 And We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating agony.
44:31 From Pharaoh; he was a transgressing tyrant.
44:32 And We have chosen them, out of knowledge, over the worlds.
44:33 And We granted them signs, which constituted a great test.
44:34 These people now are saying:
44:35 “There is nothing except our first death; and we will never be resurrected!”
44:36 “So bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful!”
44:37 Are they better or the people of Tubba` and those before them? We destroyed them, they were criminals.
44:38 And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, for mere play.
44:39 We did not create them except with the truth, but most of them do not know.
44:40 Surely, the Day of Separation is the appointment for them all.
44:41 That is the Day when no friend can help his friend in any way; nor will they be helped.
44:42 Except him on whom God has mercy. He is the Noble, the Merciful.
44:43 Surely, the tree of Bitterness,
44:44 Will be the food for the sinful.
44:45 Like hot oil, it will boil in the bellies.
44:46 Like the boiling of liquid.
44:47 “Take him and throw him into the midst of Hell.”
44:48 “Then pour upon his head the retribution of boiling liquid.”
44:49 “Taste this; surely you are the noble, the generous!”
44:50 Surely, this is what you used to doubt!
44:51 The righteous will be in a station of security.
44:52 Among gardens and springs.
44:53 Wearing silk and satin; facing each other.
44:54 So it is, and We married them to wonderful companions.
44:55 They enjoy in it all kinds of fruits, in perfect peace.
44:56 They do not taste death therein except for the first death, and He has spared them the retribution of Hell.
44:57 As a blessing from your Lord. Such is the great triumph.
44:58 We have thus made it easy in your language, perhaps they may take heed.
44:59 Therefore, watch; for they too will be watching.
