| 44:1 | | Ha-Mim. (Only Allah and the Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] know the real meaning. |
| 44:2 | | By this Light-Giving Book |
| 44:3 | | Surely, We have sent it down in a blessed night. Surely, We are the Warner |
| 44:4 | | In this (night) judgment is given on all matters of wisdom (separately) |
| 44:5 | | By Our command; surely, it is We Who send |
| 44:6 | | (It) is mercy from your Lord. Verily, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing |
| 44:7 | | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, provided you have faith with certitude |
| 44:8 | | There is no God but He. He is the One Who gives life and causes death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your fathers (as well) |
| 44:9 | | Yet they are in doubt, busy playing |
| 44:10 | | So wait for the Day when the sky will cause a clear smoke to appear |
| 44:11 | | Which will envelop people (i.e., will encompass everything). That will be a painful torment |
| 44:12 | | (They will then say:) ‘O our Lord! Remove this torment from us. Surely, we believe. |
| 44:13 | | How can their acceptance of the admonition now be (of any use), whereas there came to them a Messenger with a clear exposition |
| 44:14 | | But they turned their faces from him and (denigrating) they said: ‘(He) is a tutored madman. |
| 44:15 | | Indeed, We remove the torment a little (but) you will certainly reiterate (the same disbelief) |
| 44:16 | | The Day when We will seize with the Greatest Seizure, (that Day) We shall certainly exact revenge |
| 44:17 | | And in fact, We put to trial the people of Pharaoh (also) before them and the exalted Messenger (Musa [Moses]) came to them |
| 44:18 | | (He said:) ‘Hand over to me the servants of Allah (the Children of Israel). Verily, I am a trusted Messenger for your guidance and leadership |
| 44:19 | | And do not rebel against Allah. I have come to you with the enlightening proof |
| 44:20 | | And I have indeed sought the protection of my Lord and your Lord lest you should stone me |
| 44:21 | | And if you do not believe in me, then keep away from me. |
| 44:22 | | Then he prayed to his Lord: ‘Surely, they are a sinful people. |
| 44:23 | | (Allah said:) ‘Then set out with My servants by night. You shall certainly be chased |
| 44:24 | | And (after you pass through) leave the river still and split open. Surely, they are an army who will be drowned. |
| 44:25 | | How many a garden and spring they left behind |
| 44:26 | | And green crops and magnificent buildings |
| 44:27 | | And blessings (and comforts) in which they used to luxuriate |
| 44:28 | | So it happened! We made another people the inheritors of all that |
| 44:29 | | Then neither the heaven nor the earth wept over them, nor were they given respite |
| 44:30 | | And verily, We delivered the Children of Israel from a humiliating suffering |
| 44:31 | | From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was of the most rebellious transgressors |
| 44:32 | | And surely, We chose them (the Children of Israel) above (their contemporary civilizations of) the world on the basis of knowledge |
| 44:33 | | And We bestowed upon them signs containing an obvious favour (and a clear trial) |
| 44:34 | | Surely, they say |
| 44:35 | | ‘There is nothing after our first death and we shall not be raised up (again) |
| 44:36 | | So bring back our ancestors (alive) if you are truthful. |
| 44:37 | | Well, are they better or the people of Tubba‘ (the people of As‘ad Abu Kurib al-Himyari, the King of Yemen) and those who were before them? We destroyed (all of) them. Surely, they were people given to evildoing |
| 44:38 | | And We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them merely in sport |
| 44:39 | | We have created them both with (the purpose and reason) of truth. But most of them do not know |
| 44:40 | | Surely, the Day of Judgment is the appointed time for all of them |
| 44:41 | | The Day when a friend shall not avail a friend at all, nor will they be helped |
| 44:42 | | Except those to whom Allah has shown mercy. (They will intercede for one another.) Surely, He is Almighty, Ever-Merciful |
| 44:43 | | Indeed, the tree bearing thorny fruit |
| 44:44 | | Will be the food of the major sinners |
| 44:45 | | It will boil in the bellies like molten copper |
| 44:46 | | Like the seething of simmering water |
| 44:47 | | (It will be commanded:) ‘Seize him and drag him forcefully to the midst of Hell |
| 44:48 | | Then torment him by pouring boiling water over his head |
| 44:49 | | Taste it! Yes, you it is, the respectable and venerable (in your notion and claim) |
| 44:50 | | Certainly, this is the very Hell you used to doubt. |
| 44:51 | | Assuredly, the Godfearing will be in a place of calm and peace |
| 44:52 | | Amid gardens and springs |
| 44:53 | | Dressed in fine silk and heavy brocade, facing one another |
| 44:54 | | So will it happen! And We shall marry them to fair maidens having lovely wide eyes |
| 44:55 | | (Sitting) there, they will call calmly for every kind of fruit |
| 44:56 | | There (in Paradise) they will not taste death except the first death (which would have passed). And Allah will save them from the torment of Hell |
| 44:57 | | It is a bounty of your Lord (i.e., your Lord will bestow through your mediation alone). That is but a great success |
| 44:58 | | So We have made this (Qur’an) easy in your own tongue so that they may take advice |
| 44:59 | | So wait. Certainly, they (too) are waiting. (You will see Our revenge and their evil end, and they will see your glory and My favours to the believers through your mediation. |
