Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 44 Aya 1 to 59
 
  1   [ 44: 1 ] Ha Mim!
  2   [ 44: 2 ] I swear by the Book that makes manifest ( the truth ).
  3   [ 44: 3 ] Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning--
  4   [ 44: 4 ] Therein every wise affair is made distinct,
  5   [ 44: 5 ] A command from Us; surely We are the senders ( of messengers ),
  6   [ 44: 6 ] A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
  7   [ 44: 7 ] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
  8   [ 44: 8 ] There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.
  9   [ 44: 9 ] Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.
  10   [ 44: 10 ] Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,
  11   [ 44: 11 ] That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.
  12   [ 44: 12 ] Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.
  13   [ 44: 13 ] How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Messenger making clear ( the truth ),
  14   [ 44: 14 ] Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught ( by others ), a madman.
  15   [ 44: 15 ] Surely We will remove the punishment a little, ( but ) you will surely return ( to evil ).
  16   [ 44: 16 ] On the day when We will seize ( them ) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.
  17   [ 44: 17 ] And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble messenger,
  18   [ 44: 18 ] Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful messenger to you,
  19   [ 44: 19 ] And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:
  20   [ 44: 20 ] And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:
  21   [ 44: 21 ] And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
  22   [ 44: 22 ] Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
  23   [ 44: 23 ] So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:
  24   [ 44: 24 ] And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.
  25   [ 44: 25 ] How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!
  26   [ 44: 26 ] And cornfields and noble places!
  27   [ 44: 27 ] And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;
  28   [ 44: 28 ] Thus ( it was ), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.
  29   [ 44: 29 ] So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.
  30   [ 44: 30 ] And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,
  31   [ 44: 31 ] From Firon; surely he was haughty, ( and ) one of the extravagant.
  32   [ 44: 32 ] And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.
  33   [ 44: 33 ] And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.
  34   [ 44: 34 ] Most surely these do say:
  35   [ 44: 35 ] There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again.
  36   [ 44: 36 ] So bring our fathers ( back ), if you are truthful.
  37   [ 44: 37 ] Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
  38   [ 44: 38 ] And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.
  39   [ 44: 39 ] We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.
  40   [ 44: 40 ] Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them
  41   [ 44: 41 ] The day on which a friend shall not avail ( his ) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,
  42   [ 44: 42 ] Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.
  43   [ 44: 43 ] Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,
  44   [ 44: 44 ] Is the food of the sinful
  45   [ 44: 45 ] Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in ( their ) bellies,
  46   [ 44: 46 ] Like the boiling of hot water.
  47   [ 44: 47 ] Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;
  48   [ 44: 48 ] Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water:
  49   [ 44: 49 ] Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:
  50   [ 44: 50 ] Surely this is what you disputed about.
  51   [ 44: 51 ] Surely those who guard ( against evil ) are in a secure place,
  52   [ 44: 52 ] In gardens and springs;
  53   [ 44: 53 ] They shall wear of fine and thick silk, ( sitting ) face to face;
  54   [ 44: 54 ] Thus ( shall it be ), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.
  55   [ 44: 55 ] They shall call therein for every fruit in security;
  56   [ 44: 56 ] They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,
  57   [ 44: 57 ] A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.
  58   [ 44: 58 ] So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.
  59   [ 44: 59 ] Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
