| 44:1 | | Ha Mim |
| 44:2 | | By the manifest Book |
| 44:3 | | We have sent it down in a blessed night, (because) We had to warn (people) |
| 44:4 | | In that (night), every wise matter is allocate |
| 44:5 | | through a command from Us. We were to send the Messenge |
| 44:6 | | as a mercy from your Lord, __Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing__ |
| 44:7 | | the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of whatever there is between them, if you are to believe |
| 44:8 | | There is no god, but He. He gives life and brings death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers |
| 44:9 | | But they, being in doubt, are playing around |
| 44:10 | | So, wait for a day when the sky will come up with a visible smok |
| 44:11 | | that will envelop people. This is a painful punishment |
| 44:12 | | (Then they will say,) .O our Lord, remove from us the punishment; we will truly believe |
| 44:13 | | How will they take lesson, while there has already come to them a messenger making things clear |
| 44:14 | | Then they turned away from him, and said, .(He is) tutored, crazy |
| 44:15 | | (Well,) We are going to remove the punishment for a while, (but) you will certainly go back (to your original position) |
| 44:16 | | (Then,) the day We will seize (you) with the greatest seizure, We will take vengeance |
| 44:17 | | And We tested the people of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) prior to them, and a noble messenger came to the |
| 44:18 | | saying, .Deliver to me the servants of Allah. I am an honest messenger to you, |
| 44:19 | | and saying, .Do not be haughty against Allah. I bring to you a clear proof |
| 44:20 | | And I have sought refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me to death |
| 44:21 | | And if you do not believe in me, then keep away from me |
| 44:22 | | Then he prayed to his Lord saying, .These are a guilty people |
| 44:23 | | (So, Allah answered his prayer saying,) .Now, take away my servants at night. You will certainly be chased |
| 44:24 | | and leave the sea in the state of stillness; they are an army that is sure to be drowned |
| 44:25 | | How many gardens and fountains have they left behind |
| 44:26 | | _ and how many fields and noble sites |
| 44:27 | | and how many a luxury they used to rejoice in |
| 44:28 | | This is how it happened. And We made other people inherit all this |
| 44:29 | | So, neither the sky and earth wept over them, nor were they given a respite |
| 44:30 | | And We delivered the children of Isra‘il from the humiliating punishment |
| 44:31 | | from Fir‘aun. Indeed, he was haughty, one of the transgressors |
| 44:32 | | And We chose them, with knowledge, above all the worlds |
| 44:33 | | And We gave them the clear signs in which there was a manifest blessing |
| 44:34 | | These people say |
| 44:35 | | .There is nothing more than our first death, and we are not going to be resurrected |
| 44:36 | | So, (O believers,) bring our fathers, if you are true (in your belief in resurrection.) |
| 44:37 | | Are they better or the people of Tubba‘ and those who were before them? We have destroyed them. They were guilty indeed |
| 44:38 | | And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them just as players |
| 44:39 | | We did not create them but with true purpose, but most of them do not know |
| 44:40 | | The Day of Decision is the appointed time for all of them_ |
| 44:41 | | the day when no close relation will be of any use to any close relation, nor will they be helped |
| 44:42 | | except the One on whom Allah has mercy. Of course, He is the All-Mighty, the Very-Merciful |
| 44:43 | | Indeed the tree of zaqqu |
| 44:44 | | is the food of the sinful |
| 44:45 | | like dregs of oil. It will boil in the bellie |
| 44:46 | | like the boiling of hot water |
| 44:47 | | (It will be said to angels,) .Seize him, and drag him into the midst of the Hell |
| 44:48 | | Then pour on his head some torment of boiling water |
| 44:49 | | .Have a taste! You are the ‘man of might‘, the ‘man of honour‘ |
| 44:50 | | This is the thing about which you used to be skeptic |
| 44:51 | | Indeed the God-fearing will be in a place free from fear |
| 44:52 | | in gardens and fountains |
| 44:53 | | They will be dressed in fine silk and thick silk, facing each other |
| 44:54 | | Thus (it will happen,) and We will marry them with houris having big dark eyes |
| 44:55 | | They will call therein for every fruit peacefully |
| 44:56 | | They will not taste death therein beyond the first death (they faced in the world). And He (Allah) will save them from the torment of Hell |
| 44:57 | | as a favour from your Lord. That is the great achievement |
| 44:58 | | So, We had made it (the Qur‘an) easy in your tongue, so that they may take lesson |
| 44:59 | | Now wait. They too are waiting |
