Ad-Dukhaan

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ حمۤ

Ha, Meem.

وَٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ

By the clear Book,

إِنَّاۤ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِی لَیۡلَةࣲ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِینَ

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

فِیهَا یُفۡرَقُ كُلُّ أَمۡرٍ حَكِیمٍ

On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

أَمۡرࣰا مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۤۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِینَ

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ

As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ یُحۡیِۦ وَیُمِیتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِی شَكࣲّ یَلۡعَبُونَ

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ یَوۡمَ تَأۡتِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ بِدُخَانࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.

یَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ

[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مُّبِینࣱ

How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡا۟ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمࣱ مَّجۡنُونٌ

Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابِ قَلِیلًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ عَاۤىِٕدُونَ

Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

یَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰۤ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

۞ وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ كَرِیمٌ

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,

أَنۡ أَدُّوۤا۟ إِلَیَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

وَأَن لَّا تَعۡلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّیۤ ءَاتِیكُم بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.

وَإِنِّی عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّی وَرَبِّكُمۡ أَن تَرۡجُمُونِ

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوا۟ لِی فَٱعۡتَزِلُونِ

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوۡمࣱ مُّجۡرِمُونَ

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

فَأَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِی لَیۡلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندࣱ مُّغۡرَقُونَ

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

كَمۡ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ

And crops and noble sites

وَنَعۡمَةࣲ كَانُوا۟ فِیهَا فَـٰكِهِینَ

And comfort wherein they were amused.

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِینَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِینَ

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّیۡنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰ⁠ۤءِیلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِینِ

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِیࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡـَٔایَـٰتِ مَا فِیهِ بَلَـٰۤؤࣱا۟ مُّبِینٌ

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَیَقُولُونَ

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنۡ هِیَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِینَ

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَاۤىِٕنَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

أَهُمۡ خَیۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعࣲ وَٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ مُجۡرِمِینَ

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِینَ

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

مَا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۤ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِیقَـٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -

یَوۡمَ لَا یُغۡنِی مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلࣰى شَیۡـࣰٔا وَلَا هُمۡ یُنصَرُونَ

The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ

Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Indeed, the tree of zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِیمِ

Is food for the sinful.

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ یَغۡلِی فِی ٱلۡبُطُونِ

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

كَغَلۡیِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

Like the boiling of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاۤءِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡكَرِیمُ

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی مَقَامٍ أَمِینࣲ

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;

فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ

Within gardens and springs,

یَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسࣲ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقࣲ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِینَ

Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِینࣲ

Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

یَدۡعُونَ فِیهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِینَ

They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.

لَا یَذُوقُونَ فِیهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ

They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِیمُ

As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.

فَإِنَّمَا یَسَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَتَذَكَّرُونَ

And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ إِنَّهُم مُّرۡتَقِبُونَ

So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
