Sorah Ad-Dukhan ( The Smoke ) - Verses Number 59
حم ( 1 ) 
Ha-Mim.
وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ ( 2 )
By the Book that makes things clear;-
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ( 3 )
We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ( 4 )
In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ( 5 )
By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),
رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ( 6 )
As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ( 7 )
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ( 8 )
There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,- The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ ( 9 )
Yet they play about in doubt.
فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ( 10 )
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ( 11 )
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
رَّبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ( 12 )
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ ( 13 )
How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,-
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ ( 14 )
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ ( 15 )
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ( 16 )
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ ( 17 )
We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,
أَنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ( 18 )
Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah: I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust;
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي آتِيكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ ( 19 )
"And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.
وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ ( 20 )
"For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ ( 21 )
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ ( 22 )
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ( 23 )
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ ( 24 )
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 25 )
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ ( 26 )
And corn-fields and noble buildings,
وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ ( 27 )
And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ ( 28 )
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ ( 29 )
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ ( 30 )
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ( 31 )
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ( 32 )
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
وَآتَيْنَاهُم مِّنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُّبِينٌ ( 33 )
And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ( 34 )
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ( 35 )
"There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ( 36 )
"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ ( 37 )
What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ( 38 )
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:
مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ( 39 )
We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَاتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( 40 )
Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them,-
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئًا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ( 41 )
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ( 42 )
Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّومِ ( 43 )
Verily the tree of Zaqqum
طَعَامُ الْأَثِيمِ ( 44 )
Will be the food of the Sinful,-
كَالْمُهْلِ يَغْلِي فِي الْبُطُونِ ( 45 )
Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.
كَغَلْيِ الْحَمِيمِ ( 46 )
Like the boiling of scalding water.
خُذُوهُ فَاعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ ( 47 )
(A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِيمِ ( 48 )
"Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water,
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ ( 49 )
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!
إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تَمْتَرُونَ ( 50 )
"Truly this is what ye used to doubt!"
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ ( 51 )
As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security,
فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ( 52 )
Among Gardens and Springs;
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ ( 53 )
Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other;
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَاهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ ( 54 )
So; and We shall join them to fair women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ آمِنِينَ ( 55 )
There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security;
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَاهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ ( 56 )
Nor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire,-
فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ( 57 )
As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement!
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَاهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ( 58 )
Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed.
فَارْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ ( 59 )
So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting.

- The Best Provision to the Day of JudgmentA book contains sunnahs (recommended acts) scattered in a lot of books. It’s divided into two main sections. The first is concerned with good deeds that have specified rewards whose benefits are restricted to whoever performs them only. Examples of such good deeds are: praying sunnahs and performing ‘umrah. The second section is devoted to the deeds with unspecified benefits, i.e. the good deeds whose benefits reach others like the family, the neighbor or even the community in large. These benefits are achieved in this life as well as the Last Day. Giving charity and useful knowledge are examples of this group of good deeds.
