Hameem

Hā Mīm[1].

Waalkitabi almubeeni

By the clear Book.

Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna munthireena

Indeed, We sent it[2] down on a blessed night, We have been warning about.

Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeemin

On that night, every matter of wisdom is determined[3]

Amran min AAindina inna kunna mursileena

by Our command. We have always sent messengers.

Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu

as a mercy from your Lord. He is indeed the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,

Rabbi alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineena

Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, if only you had sure faith.

La ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu rabbukum warabbu abaikumu alawwaleena

None has the right to be worshiped except Him, Who gives life and causes death – your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers.

Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

Fairtaqib yawma tatee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin

So wait for a day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke[4],

Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun

that will overwhelm the people. This is a painful punishment!

Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathaba inna muminoona

[They will cry,] “Our Lord, remove the punishment from us; we will surely believe!”

Anna lahumu alththikra waqad jaahum rasoolun mubeenun

How will they take heed, when a messenger who explained things clearly has already come to them?

Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloo muAAallamun majnoonun

Then they turned away from him and said, “[He is] a madman, taught by others.”

Inna kashifoo alAAathabi qaleelan innakum AAaidoona

We shall hold the punishment back for a while, but you will surely return [to disbelief].

Yawma nabtishu albatshata alkubra inna muntaqimoona

On the Day when We seize [them] with the greatest assault, We will surely exact retribution.

Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawma firAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareemun

Indeed, We tested the people of Pharaoh before them, when a noble messenger came to them,

An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahi innee lakum rasoolun ameenun

[saying], “Hand over to me the slaves of Allah[5]. I am indeed a trustworthy messenger to you,

Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahi innee ateekum bisultanin mubeenin

and do not be arrogant towards Allah. I have certainly come to you with clear proof.

Wainnee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikum an tarjumooni

And I certainly seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me to death[6].

Wain lam tuminoo lee faiAAtazilooni

If you do not believe me, then leave me alone.”

FadaAAa rabbahu anna haolai qawmun mujrimoona

Then he called upon his Lord, “These are wicked people”.

Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakum muttabaAAoona

[Allah said], “Leave along with My slaves by night; you will surely be pursued.

Waotruki albahra rahwan innahum jundun mughraqoona

And leave the sea parted[7]; for they are surely an army destined to drown.”

Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoonin

[Imagine] how many gardens and springs they left behind,

WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareemin

and crops and splendid mansions,

WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheena

and luxuries they used to rejoice therein.

Kathalika waawrathnaha qawman akhareena

So it was; and We made another people inherit all that.

Fama bakat AAalayhimu alssamao waalardu wama kanoo munthareena

Neither the heaven nor earth wept for them, nor were they given any respite.

Walaqad najjayna banee israeela mina alAAathabi almuheeni

Thus did We save the Children of Israel from the humiliating punishment,

Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyan mina almusrifeena

from Pharaoh. He was indeed arrogant who transgressed all bounds.

Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAala AAilmin AAala alAAalameena

We chose them[8] knowingly over all other peoples.

Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun

And We gave them signs in which there was a clear test.

Inna haolai layaqooloona

Indeed, these [Makkans] say,

In hiya illa mawtatuna aloola wama nahnu bimunshareena

“There is nothing after our first death, and we will not be resurrected,

Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena

then bring back our forefathers if you are truthful.”

Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin waallatheena min qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeena

Are they better [in power] or the people of Tubba‘[9] and those who were before them? We destroyed them, for they were truly wicked[10].

Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

We have not created the heavens and earth and all that is between them for amusement.

Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

We have not created them except for a true purpose, but most of them do not know.

Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena

Indeed, the Day of Judgment is the time appointed for them all,

Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona

the Day when no patron[11] will avail another in the least, nor will they be helped,

Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

except those to whom Allah shows mercy. He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi

Indeed, the tree of Zaqqūm

TaAAamu alatheemi

will be the food of the sinful,

Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni

like molten metal that will boil in their bellies

Kaghalyi alhameemi

like the boiling of scalding water.

Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi

[It will be said], “Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire.

Thumma subboo fawqa rasihi min AAathabi alhameemi

Then pour over his head the torment of scalding water.”

Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareemu

“Taste this. You are surely the mighty and honorable![12]

Inna hatha ma kuntum bihi tamtaroona

This is what you [all] used to doubt.”

Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameenin

Indeed, the righteous will be in a safe place,

Fee jannatin waAAuyoonin

in gardens and springs,

Yalbasoona min sundusin waistabraqin mutaqabileena

wearing fine silk and heavy brocade, facing one another.

Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

So it will be, and We will marry them to maidens with gorgeous eyes.

YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatin amineena

They will call therein for every kind of fruit, safe and secure.

La yathooqoona feeha almawta illa almawtata aloola wawaqahum AAathaba aljaheemi

They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will protect them from the punishment of the Blazing Fire,

Fadlan min rabbika thalika huwa alfawzu alAAatheemu

as a grace from your Lord. That is the supreme triumph.

Fainnama yassarnahu bilisanika laAAallahum yatathakkaroona

We have made this [Qur’an] easy in your own language, so that they may take heed.

Fairtaqib innahum murtaqiboona

Then wait; they too are waiting.
