Ad-Dukhan

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ حمٓ

Ha. Mim

وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

By the Scripture that maketh plain

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ

Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

Whereon every wise command is made clear

أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending

رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure

لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ

Nay, but they play in doubt

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ

(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ

How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ

And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief)

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ

And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ

And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ

And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind

وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

And the cornlands and the goodly sites

وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهِينَ

And pleasant things wherein they took delight

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

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

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ

And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

Lo! these, forsooth, are saying

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ

And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play

مَا خَلَقْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَـٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

The food of the sinner

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

As the seething of boiling water

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ

Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Amid gardens and watersprings

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ

Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

They call therein for every fruit in safety

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell

فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting
