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.
