| Sura - 44 Smoke | |||
| In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 44: 1 ] H. M. | ||
| 2 | [ 44: 2 ] And this enlightening scripture. | ||
| 3 | [ 44: 3 ] We have sent it down in a blessed night, for we are to warn. | ||
| 4 | [ 44: 4 ] In it ( the scripture ), every matter of wisdom is clarified. | ||
| 5 | [ 44: 5 ] It is a predetermined command from us that we send messengers. | ||
| 6 | [ 44: 6 ] This is a mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. | ||
| 7 | [ 44: 7 ] Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If only you could be certain! | ||
| 8 | [ 44: 8 ] There is no other god beside Him. He controls life and death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors. | ||
| 9 | [ 44: 9 ] Indeed, they are doubtful, heedless. | ||
| 10 | [ 44: 10 ] Therefore, watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke. | ||
| 11 | [ 44: 11 ] It will envelope the people; this is a painful retribution. | ||
| 12 | [ 44: 12 ] " Our Lord, relieve this retribution for us; we are believers. " | ||
| 13 | [ 44: 13 ] Now that it is too late, they remember! An enlightening messenger had come to them. | ||
| 14 | [ 44: 14 ] But they turned away from him, saying, " Well educated, but crazy! " | ||
| 15 | [ 44: 15 ] We will relieve the retribution for awhile; you will soon revert. | ||
| 16 | [ 44: 16 ] The day we strike the big stroke, we will avenge. | ||
| 17 | [ 44: 17 ] We have tested before them the people of Pharaoh; an honorable messenger went to them. | ||
| 18 | [ 44: 18 ] Proclaiming: " Listen to me, servants of GOD. I am an honest messenger to you. " | ||
| 19 | [ 44: 19 ] And, " Do not transgress against GOD. I bring to you powerful proofs. | ||
| 20 | [ 44: 20 ] " I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, if you oppose me. | ||
| 21 | [ 44: 21 ] " If you do not wish to believe, then simply leave me alone. " | ||
| 22 | [ 44: 22 ] Subsequently, he implored his Lord: " These are wicked people. " | ||
| 23 | [ 44: 23 ] ( God said, ) " Travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued. | ||
| 24 | [ 44: 24 ] " Cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned. " | ||
| 25 | [ 44: 25 ] Thus, they left behind many gardens and springs. | ||
| 26 | [ 44: 26 ] Crops and a luxurious life. | ||
| 27 | [ 44: 27 ] Blessings that they enjoyed. | ||
| 28 | [ 44: 28 ] All these we caused to be inherited by other people. | ||
| 29 | [ 44: 29 ] Neither the heaven, nor the earth wept over them, and they were not respited. | ||
| 30 | [ 44: 30 ] Meanwhile, we saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating persecution. | ||
| 31 | [ 44: 31 ] From Pharaoh; he was a tyrant. | ||
| 32 | [ 44: 32 ] We have chosen them from among all the people, knowingly. | ||
| 33 | [ 44: 33 ] We showed them so many proofs, which constituted a great test. | ||
| 34 | [ 44: 34 ] The present generations say, | ||
| 35 | [ 44: 35 ] " We only die the first death; we will never be resurrected! | ||
| 36 | [ 44: 36 ] " Bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful. " | ||
| 37 | [ 44: 37 ] Are they better than the people of Tubba` and others before them? We annihilated them for their crimes. | ||
| 38 | [ 44: 38 ] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, just to play. | ||
| 39 | [ 44: 39 ] We created them for a specific purpose, but most of them do not know. | ||
| 40 | [ 44: 40 ] The Day of Decision awaits them all. | ||
| 41 | [ 44: 41 ] That is the day when no friend can help his friend in any way; no one can be helped. | ||
| 42 | [ 44: 42 ] Only those who attain mercy from GOD. He is the Almighty, Most Merciful. | ||
| 43 | [ 44: 43 ] Surely, the tree of bitterness - | ||
| 44 | [ 44: 44 ] will provide the food for the sinful. | ||
| 45 | [ 44: 45 ] Like lye, it will boil in the stomachs. | ||
| 46 | [ 44: 46 ] Like the boiling of hellish drinks. | ||
| 47 | [ 44: 47 ] Take him and throw him into the center of Hell. | ||
| 48 | [ 44: 48 ] Then pour upon his head the retribution of the Inferno. | ||
| 49 | [ 44: 49 ] " Taste this; you were so powerful, so honorable. " | ||
| 50 | [ 44: 50 ] This is what you used to doubt. | ||
| 51 | [ 44: 51 ] The righteous will be in a secure position. | ||
| 52 | [ 44: 52 ] Enjoying gardens and springs. | ||
| 53 | [ 44: 53 ] Wearing velvet and satin; close to each other. | ||
| 54 | [ 44: 54 ] We grant them wonderful spouses. | ||
| 55 | [ 44: 55 ] They enjoy in it all kinds of fruits, in perfect peace. | ||
| 56 | [ 44: 56 ] They do not taste death therein - beyond the first death - and He has spared them the retribution of Hell. | ||
| 57 | [ 44: 57 ] Such is the blessing from your Lord. Such is the great triumph. | ||
| 58 | [ 44: 58 ] We have thus clarified it in your language, that they may take heed. | ||
| 59 | [ 44: 59 ] Therefore, wait; they too will have to wait. | ||
