| 44:1 | | Ha. Mim |
| 44:2 | | By the Scripture that maketh plai |
| 44:3 | | Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning |
| 44:4 | | Whereon every wise command is made clea |
| 44:5 | | As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending |
| 44:6 | | A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower |
| 44:7 | | Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure |
| 44:8 | | There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers |
| 44:9 | | Nay, but they play in doubt |
| 44:10 | | But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smok |
| 44:11 | | That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment |
| 44:12 | | (Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers |
| 44:13 | | How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them |
| 44:14 | | And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman |
| 44:15 | | Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief) |
| 44:16 | | On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish |
| 44:17 | | And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger |
| 44:18 | | Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you |
| 44:19 | | And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant |
| 44:20 | | And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death |
| 44:21 | | And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go |
| 44:22 | | And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk |
| 44:23 | | Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed |
| 44:24 | | And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host |
| 44:25 | | How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind |
| 44:26 | | And the cornlands and the goodly site |
| 44:27 | | And pleasant things wherein they took delight |
| 44:28 | | Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk |
| 44:29 | | And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved |
| 44:30 | | And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom |
| 44:31 | | (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones |
| 44:32 | | And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures |
| 44:33 | | And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial |
| 44:34 | | Lo! these, forsooth, are saying |
| 44:35 | | There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again |
| 44:36 | | Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth |
| 44:37 | | Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty |
| 44:38 | | And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play |
| 44:39 | | We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not |
| 44:40 | | Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them |
| 44:41 | | A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped |
| 44:42 | | Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful |
| 44:43 | | Lo! the tree of Zaqqum |
| 44:44 | | The food of the sinner |
| 44:45 | | Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellie |
| 44:46 | | As the seething of boiling water |
| 44:47 | | (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell |
| 44:48 | | Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water |
| 44:49 | | (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble |
| 44:50 | | Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt |
| 44:51 | | Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured |
| 44:52 | | Amid gardens and watersprings |
| 44:53 | | Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another |
| 44:54 | | Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes |
| 44:55 | | They call therein for every fruit in safety |
| 44:56 | | They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell |
| 44:57 | | A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph |
| 44:58 | | And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed |
| 44:59 | | Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting |
