| | Muhammad Sarwar rendition of Surah Smoke, The Evident Smoke(ad-Dukhan) --- |
---|
44:1 | | Ha. Mim |
44:2 | | I swear by the illustrious Book |
44:3 | | that We have revealed the Quran on a blessed night to warn mankind |
44:4 | | On this night, every absolute command coming from Us becomes distinguishable |
44:5 | | The command that We have been sendin |
44:6 | | as a mercy (for the human being) from your Lord. Your Lord is All-hearing and All-knowing |
44:7 | | He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if only you would have strong faith |
44:8 | | There is only One Lord. It is He who gives life and causes things to die. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers |
44:9 | | In fact, the unbelievers have doubts because of excessive involvement in worldly affairs |
44:10 | | Wait for the day (which will come before the Day of Judgment) when the sky will give out dense smok |
44:11 | | which will smother the people. They will say, "This is a painful torment |
44:12 | | Lord, remove this torment from us for we are believers" |
44:13 | | How could this punishment bring them to their senses when a Messenger evidently had come to them |
44:14 | | and they turned away, saying, "He is a trained and insane person" |
44:15 | | We shall remove the torment for a while but you will revert to your old ways |
44:16 | | However, We shall truly take Our revenge on the day when the great seizure takes place |
44:17 | | We had certainly tested the people of the Pharaoh before them to whom a noble Messengers had come, saying |
44:18 | | "Send the servants of God with me. I am a trustworthy Messenger sent to you |
44:19 | | Do not consider yourselves above God? I shall show you a manifest authority (in support of my truthfulness) |
44:20 | | I seek protection from my Lord and your Lord from your decision of stoning me |
44:21 | | If you do not want to believe, leave me alone" |
44:22 | | Moses addressed his Lord, saying, "Lord, these people are sinners" |
44:23 | | We told him, "Leave the city with My servants during the night. You will be pursued |
44:24 | | Cross the sea by cutting a path through it. Pharaoh's army will be drowned |
44:25 | | How many were the gardens, springs |
44:26 | | corn-fields, gracious mansions |
44:27 | | and other bounties which they enjoyed yet left behind |
44:28 | | We gave these as an inheritance to other people |
44:29 | | The sky nor the earth cried for them, nor were they given respite |
44:30 | | We rescued the Israelites from the humiliating tormen |
44:31 | | and from the Pharaoh. He was the chief of the transgressors |
44:32 | | We gave preference to the Israelites over the other people with Our knowledg |
44:33 | | and sent them revelations of which some were a clear trial for them |
44:34 | | These people say |
44:35 | | "After we die, we shall never be raised to life again |
44:36 | | Bring back to life our fathers if what you say is true" |
44:37 | | Are they better than the tribe of Tubba (name of a Yemenite tribal chief) and those who lived before them? We destroyed them. They were criminals |
44:38 | | We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for Our own amusement |
44:39 | | We have created them for a genuine purpose, but most people do not know |
44:40 | | The appointed time for all of them will be the Day of Judgmen |
44:41 | | (when wrong will be distinguished from right). On this day friends will be of no benefit to one another, nor will they receive any hel |
44:42 | | except for those to whom God grants mercy. He is Majestic and All-merciful |
44:43 | | The tree of Zaqqu |
44:44 | | is food for the sinner |
44:45 | | It will be like molted brass which will boil in the bellie |
44:46 | | like water |
44:47 | | (It will be said of such sinners), "Seize them and drag them into the middle of hell |
44:48 | | Then pour unto their heads the boiling water to torment them" |
44:49 | | They will be told, "Suffer the torment. You had thought yourselves to be majestic and honorable |
44:50 | | This is the torment that you persistently doubted" |
44:51 | | The pious ones will be in a secure plac |
44:52 | | amid gardens and springs |
44:53 | | clothed in fine silk and rich brocade, sitting face to face with one another |
44:54 | | We shall unite them to maidens with big black and white lovely eyes |
44:55 | | They will be offered all kinds of fruits, in peace and security |
44:56 | | They will not experience any death other than that which they have already been through |
44:57 | | God will protect them from the torment of hell as a favor from your Lord. (Muhammad), this is certainly the greatest triumph |
44:58 | | We have made the Quran easy for you to recite so that perhaps they may take heed |
44:59 | | Wait (for God's decree) and they too will be waiting |
