44:1  Ha´. Mim
44:2  By the Clear Book
44:3  We revealed it on a Blessed Night, for We were intent on warning
44:4  (We revealed it on the Night) wherein every matter is wisely determined
44:5  by Our command. Verily, We were set to send a Messenge
44:6  as a Mercy from your Lord. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing
44:7  the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them: if you would only have sure faith
44:8  There is no god but He: He gives life and causes death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers of yore
44:9  (But the fact is, they lack certainty) and frolic about in doubt
44:10  So watch for the Day when the sky will come down with a pall of smoke
44:11  enveloping people. That will be a grievous scourge
44:12  (People will then say): "Our Lord, remove this scourge from us; we shall believe."
44:13  But how will they take heed? Such are they that a Messenger came to them clearly expounding the Truth
44:14  yet they turned away from him and said: "This is a well-tutored madman."
44:15  Yet We will hold the scourge back for a while, (but no sooner than We will do so) you will revert to your old ways
44:16  The Day when We shall seize them with a mighty seizing, that will be the Day on which We shall inflict upon you full retribution
44:17  Indeed before that We subjected the Pharaonites to the same test. A noble Messenger came to the
44:18  (and said): "Deliver to me Allah´s servants. I am a trustworthy Messenger to you
44:19  and do not exalt yourselves in defiance of Allah. I have come to you with a clear authority (as a Messenger)
44:20  I have taken refuge with my Lord and your Lord lest you should attack me with stones
44:21  But if you do not believe what I say, leave me alone (and desist from laying hands on me)."
44:22  Then he called upon his Lord: "These are a criminal people."
44:23  (He was told): "Set out with My servants by night for you will certainly be pursued
44:24  And leave the sea behind you as calm as ever. Surely they are an army that is doomed to be drowned."
44:25  How many gardens did they leave behind, and how many fountain
44:26  and sown fields and splendid mansions
44:27  and the life of ease in which they took delight
44:28  Thus it was; and We made another people inherit all that
44:29  Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth. They were granted no respite
44:30  Thus did We deliver the Children of Israel from the humiliating chastisement
44:31  from Pharaoh who was most prominent among the prodigals
44:32  We knowingly exalted them (i.e., the Children of Israel) above other peoples of the world
44:33  and bestowed upon them the Signs wherein lay an evident test for them
44:34  Indeed these people say
44:35  "This is our first and only death, and we shall never be raised again
44:36  Bring back to us our fathers if you are truthful."
44:37  Are these better or the people of Tubba and those who went before them? We destroyed them for they were a criminal people
44:38  It was not in idle sport that We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them
44:39  We did not create them except in Truth. But most of them do not know
44:40  The Day of Final Decision is the appointed time for all
44:41  the Day when a friend shall be of no avail to his friend nor shall they be helped
44:42  except those to whom Allah shows mercy. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate
44:43  The tree of al-Zaqqu
44:44  shall be the food of the sinful
44:45  Like dregs of oil, it will boil in their bellie
44:46  like boiling water
44:47  "Seize him and drag him to the middle of the Blazing Fire
44:48  then pour boiling water over his head as chastisement
44:49  Taste this, you are a person mighty and noble
44:50  This is what you used to doubt."
44:51  Verily the God-fearing shall be in a secure plac
44:52  amidst gardens and springs
44:53  Attired in silk and brocade, they shall be arrayed face to face
44:54  Thus shall it be: and We shall espouse them to fair, wide-eyed maidens
44:55  While resting in security, they shall call for all kinds of fruit
44:56  They shall not taste death except the death in this world. And Allah will save them from the chastisement of Hel
44:57  as a favour from your Lord. That is the great triumph
44:58  (O Prophet), We have made this Book easy in your tongue so that they may take heed
44:59  Wait, then; they too are waiting
