| | Dr. Munir Munshey rendition of Surah Smoke, The Evident Smoke(ad-Dukhan)
--- |
|---|
| 44:1 | | Ha, Meem |
| 44:2 | | (Allah swears) by the clear lucid book |
| 44:3 | | We have revealed this book on the night full of blessings. Indeed, We are placing (the human kind) on alert |
| 44:4 | | On that night, all matters are decreed and decided with wisdom |
| 44:5 | | (It is revealed) by Our command. Indeed, We have sent (this) message |
| 44:6 | | A mercy from your Lord! He is indeed, the all-Hearing, the all-Knowing |
| 44:7 | | If you want to be absolutely sure, (consider this): He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between |
| 44:8 | | There is no god but He, (the One Who) gives life and gives death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers and (your) ancient ancestors |
| 44:9 | | Yet, (immersed) in doubt, they waste their time in pastimes |
| 44:10 | | Watch out for the day when the sky would emit (vast volumes of) visible smoke |
| 44:11 | | It would enshroud people. That is a painful punishment |
| 44:12 | | (They would cry out). "Our Lord! Release us from the painful punishment. We would (now) definitely become the believers." |
| 44:13 | | Why this change of heart? (Earlier) the messenger had come to them, and had explained matters to them clearly. (But they rejected him) |
| 44:14 | | At that time, they turned away and said, "He is a lunatic being coached by others." |
| 44:15 | | If We withdraw your suffering a little, you would revert to your evil ways |
| 44:16 | | The day (of Judgment) is when We will strike that severe blow; We would exact a real revenge |
| 44:17 | | Prior to them, We had certainly put the pharaoh and his people through a test; a noble messenger came to them |
| 44:18 | | (He said), "Release the servants of Allah into my care. I am certainly the trustworthy messenger (sent) towards you." |
| 44:19 | | "Do not exceed (the bounds), and do not deem yourselves exalted before Allah. In fact, I have brought you the clear proofs." |
| 44:20 | | "I have sought refuge with my Lord, (Who is also) your Lord, should you stone me (to death)." |
| 44:21 | | "If you refuse to believe, then stay away and leave me alone." |
| 44:22 | | Musa called his Lord, "These people are indeed the defiant criminals!" |
| 44:23 | | (Allah said), "Along with My servants, leave (the country) by night. You would surely be pursued." |
| 44:24 | | "Leave the sea as it is _ (parted); their entire army shall drown." |
| 44:25 | | (Pity)! Those who drowned left behind so many gardens and springs |
| 44:26 | | Fields and magnificent palaces |
| 44:27 | | (And the comfort and luxuries) _ the riches they used to relish |
| 44:28 | | In this manner, We caused other nations to inherit (those riches) |
| 44:29 | | And nobody _ neither the sky nor the earth _ shed any tears upon their demise; nor were they granted a respite |
| 44:30 | | We certainly rescued the children of Israel from the abusive and humiliating tyranny |
| 44:31 | | Of the pharaoh! Among those who exceeded the bounds and transgressed, he was indeed, one of the worst |
| 44:32 | | Of course, We chose them purposely over all others |
| 44:33 | | And We displayed to them Our signs. That was an obvious test for them |
| 44:34 | | These people assert (so emphatically) |
| 44:35 | | "Our death here in this life is it _ (the end), and there is nothing (beyond). We will not be resurrected." |
| 44:36 | | "Bring our forefathers back (to life), if you are truthful!" |
| 44:37 | | Are they better than the people of ´Tubbah´, or those before them? We destroyed them! All of them were really criminals |
| 44:38 | | We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything else just as a pastime |
| 44:39 | | We did not create the heavens and the earth except with a purpose _ (and for a specified time). But most of them (just) do not understand |
| 44:40 | | The scheduled time for (the resurrection of) all of them together, is the day of decision |
| 44:41 | | That day, nobody would lend a bit of support to his friend or kin. Nobody shall receive any help (at all) |
| 44:42 | | Except the one, upon whom Allah bestows (special) mercy! He is the Mighty, the most Merciful |
| 44:43 | | The tree of ´zaqum´ |
| 44:44 | | Shall be the food for the sinners |
| 44:45 | | Like boiling oil, it shall burn the inside of their bellies |
| 44:46 | | Just as boiling water scalds |
| 44:47 | | (The command would be): grab him and drag him right into the thick of the blazing fire |
| 44:48 | | Then pour (the steaming hot water) over his head. The (torture and) torment of the boiling water |
| 44:49 | | Taste this! (Now), aren´t you the mighty and the noble |
| 44:50 | | This is exactly what you used to doubt |
| 44:51 | | The righteous would live in a peaceful place, (serene and) secure |
| 44:52 | | Amidst gardens and springs |
| 44:53 | | Dressed in lush luxurious brocade, they shall sit facing each other |
| 44:54 | | Thus shall it be! And We shall wed them to the fair females with big beautiful eyes |
| 44:55 | | In paradise, they shall ask for, (and get), all sorts of sumptuous delights; (they shall live) in peace (and bliss) |
| 44:56 | | There, they shall never ever face death, other than their death in the previous life; and He will spare them the punishment of the hellfire |
| 44:57 | | Courtesy of your Lord, a generous favor! That indeed is the supreme success, the greatest triumph |
| 44:58 | | Certainly! We have rendered this Qur´an easy for your tongue. Perhaps they would heed its message |
| 44:59 | | So wait a while; they too, are waiting |
