وَالْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِیْنِ ۟ۙۛ
By the clear Book,
اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ فِیْ لَیْلَةٍ مُّبٰرَكَةٍ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِیْنَ ۟
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
فِیْهَا یُفْرَقُ كُلُّ اَمْرٍ حَكِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct every precise matter -
اَمْرًا مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا ؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِیْنَ ۟ۚ
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]
رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ ۟ۙ
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ۘ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِیْنَ ۟
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.
لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ یُحْیٖ وَیُمِیْتُ ؕ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآىِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ ۟
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
بَلْ هُمْ فِیْ شَكٍّ یَّلْعَبُوْنَ ۟
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
فَارْتَقِبْ یَوْمَ تَاْتِی السَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟ۙ
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke
یَّغْشَی النَّاسَ ؕ هٰذَا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.
رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ اِنَّا مُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
اَنّٰی لَهُمُ الذِّكْرٰی وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ۙ
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوْا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُوْنٌ ۟ۘ
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
اِنَّا كَاشِفُوا الْعَذَابِ قَلِیْلًا اِنَّكُمْ عَآىِٕدُوْنَ ۟ۘ
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].
یَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرٰی ۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُوْنَ ۟
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ كَرِیْمٌ ۟ۙ
And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger [i.e., Moses],
اَنْ اَدُّوْۤا اِلَیَّ عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ ۟ۙ
[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allāh. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"
وَّاَنْ لَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اٰتِیْكُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟ۚ
And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allāh. Indeed, I have come to you with clear evidence.
وَاِنِّیْ عُذْتُ بِرَبِّیْ وَرَبِّكُمْ اَنْ تَرْجُمُوْنِ ۟ؗ
And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
وَاِنْ لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوْا لِیْ فَاعْتَزِلُوْنِ ۟
But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗۤ اَنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُوْنَ ۟
And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.
فَاَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْ لَیْلًا اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَ ۟ۙ
[Allāh said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.
وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ ۟
And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."
كَمْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوْنٍ ۟ۙ
How much they left behind of gardens and springs
وَّزُرُوْعٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِیْمٍ ۟ۙ
And crops and noble sites
وَّنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوْا فِیْهَا فٰكِهِیْنَ ۟ۙ
And comfort wherein they were amused.
كَذٰلِكَ ۫ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِیْنَ ۟
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوْا مُنْظَرِیْنَ ۟۠
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّیْنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِیْنِ ۟ۙ
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -
مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِیًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ ۟
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.
وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنٰهُمْ عَلٰی عِلْمٍ عَلَی الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۚ
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
وَاٰتَیْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الْاٰیٰتِ مَا فِیْهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِیْنٌ ۟
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ لَیَقُوْلُوْنَ ۟ۙ
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْاُوْلٰی وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِیْنَ ۟
"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
فَاْتُوْا بِاٰبَآىِٕنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟
Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
اَهُمْ خَیْرٌ اَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۙ وَّالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ ؗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟
Are they better or the people of Tubbaʿ and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِیْنَ ۟
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.
مَا خَلَقْنٰهُمَاۤ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟
We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.
اِنَّ یَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِیْقَاتُهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟ۙ
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -
یَوْمَ لَا یُغْنِیْ مَوْلًی عَنْ مَّوْلًی شَیْـًٔا وَّلَا هُمْ یُنْصَرُوْنَ ۟ۙ
The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -
اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟۠
Except those [believers] on whom Allāh has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
اِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّوْمِ ۟ۙ
Indeed, the tree of zaqqūm
طَعَامُ الْاَثِیْمِ ۟
Is food for the sinful.
كَالْمُهْلِ ۛۚ یَغْلِیْ فِی الْبُطُوْنِ ۟ۙ
Like murky oil, it boils within bellies
كَغَلْیِ الْحَمِیْمِ ۟
Like the boiling of scalding water.
خُذُوْهُ فَاعْتِلُوْهُ اِلٰی سَوَآءِ الْجَحِیْمِ ۟ۗۖ
[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,
ثُمَّ صُبُّوْا فَوْقَ رَاْسِهٖ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِیْمِ ۟ؕ
Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."
ذُقْ ۙۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْكَرِیْمُ ۟
[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!
اِنَّ هٰذَا مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تَمْتَرُوْنَ ۟
Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."
