44:1  Ha Mim

44:2  And the Book that makes things clear—

44:3  We have sent it down during a blessed night: Verily, We (always) wish to warn (against evil

44:4  In that (night) is set out (decreed) every item of wisdom

44:5  By Command from Us (Allah), verily, We (always) send (revelations)

44:6  As a Mercy from your Lord: Verily, He is the All Hearing (As-Sami'), the All Knowing (Al-Aleem)

44:7  The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you have firm faith and certainty

44:8  There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and causes death, your Lord and Sustainer (Rab) and the Lord and Sustainer of your (earliest) ancestors

44:9  Yet, they amuse themselves in doubt

44:10  Then you watch for the Day on which the sky will bring out a kind of clearly visible smoke (or mist)

44:11  Surrounding the people: This will be a painful penalty

44:12  (They will say:) "Our Lord! Remove the penalty from us, really, we are believers!"

44:13  How shall the Message be (meaningful) for them, seeing that a Messenger (the Prophet) has (already) come to them— (And is) explaining things clearly

44:14  Yet they turned away from him and said: "Taught (by others), he is a madman (possessed by evil)!"

44:15  Indeed, We shall remove the penalty for a while, (but) truly, you will go back (to your ways)

44:16  One day We shall get to you with a mighty disaster that will come: (And then) We will truly make (you) suffer the real punishment

44:17  And indeed, We did try the people of Firon (Pharaoh), before them (those who reject the Message); To them came a most honorable messenger (Musa)

44:18  (Saying:) "Give me the servants of Allah verily, I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust

44:19  "And do not be proud (especially) against Allah: Truly, I have come to you with clear authority

44:20  "As for me, I have prayed to my Lord and your Lord, for safety against your injuring (stoning) me

44:21  "But if you do not believe, keep yourselves away from me and leave me alone."

44:22  (But they were angry and haughty) then he cried to his Lord: "Truly, these are a criminal people used to sin."

44:23  (The reply came:) "March forth with My servants by night, surely, you will be followed

44:24  "And leave the sea at the gap (across the ocean bed divided): Verily, they are a group to be drowned."

44:25  How many of the gardens and springs did they leave behind

44:26  And green crops (and corn fields) and noble places

44:27  And wealth (and things of life), in which they had taken such delight

44:28  Like this (was their end)! And We made other people take over (those things they left behind)

44:29  And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear for them: And they were not given any relief (again)

44:30  And indeed, (before this), We did save the Children of Israel from disgraceful punishment

44:31  Caused by Firon (Pharaoh), indeed he was proud (haughty and arrogant, even) among unruly transgressors

44:32  And We chose them before above the nations, with knowledg

44:33  And granted them Signs in which there was an open trial

44:34  Verily, these (People of the Quraish), they openly say

44:35  "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be resurrected

44:36  Then bring (back) our forefathers, if you say the truth!"

44:37  Are they better than the people of Tubba' and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were criminals (guilty of sin)

44:38  And We did not create the heavens and the earth, and all between them, just as (an idle) play

44:39  We did not create them except for true (and noble) ends: But most of them do not understand

44:40  Surely, the Day of Sorting Out is the time appointed for all of them—

44:41  The Day when the nearest of kin can be of no use to the related one, even the least, and no help can they receive

44:42  Except such as those who receive Allah’s Mercy: Verily, He is Exalted in Might (Al-Aziz), Most Merciful (Ar-Raheem)

44:43  Surely, the (evil) tree of Zaqqu

44:44  Will be the food of the sinful—

44:45  Like molten brass; It will boil in their bellies

44:46  Like the boiling of very hot water

44:47  (A voice will cry:) "You seize him and drag him into the middle of the blazing Fire

44:48  "Then pour over his head the penalty of boiling water

44:49  "You taste (this)! Truly were you (all that) mighty, full of honor

44:50  "Surely, this is what you used to doubt!"

44:51  Verily, as to the righteous, (they will be) in a position of security

44:52  Among Gardens and Springs

44:53  Dressed in fine silk and in rich lace, they will face each other

44:54  Like this, (it will be!) We shall enjoin them the companions with beautiful, big and lovely eyes

44:55  There they can call for every fruit in peace and security

44:56  There, they will not undergo death, except the first death; And He will preserve them from the penalty of the blazing Fire—

44:57  As a Gift from your Lord! That will be the supreme achievement

44:58  Surely, We have made this (Quran) easy, in your tongue, in order that they may remember

44:59  So you wait and watch, verily, they (too) are waiting
