Ha Mīm.
By the Evident Scripture,
We have indeed sent it down on a blessed night. Indeed, We have always been warning.
On it, every wise command is distinguished—
a command from Us; indeed, We have always been sending
mercy from yoursg Lord—indeed, it is He who is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing—
(from the) Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if youpl (can ever) believe with certitude.
There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death—yourpl Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers.
Yet they play around in doubt.
So waitsg and watch out for the day when the sky produces evident smoke
that overwhelms mankind; this is a painful punishment.
“Our Lord, lift the punishment from us; we are truly believers.”
But how can the reminding benefit them when an evident messenger had already come to them,
then they turned away from him and said, “(He is) taught (by others), a madman!”
Indeed, if We lift off the punishment a little, youpl will revert.
On the day when We assault with the biggest onslaught, We will indeed wreak vengeance upon them.
And surely before them We tested the people of Pharaoh when a noble messenger came to them,
saying, “Hand over Allah’s servants to me; indeed, I am to youpl a trustworthy messenger.
And do not consider yourselves to be above Allah; indeed, I come to you with an evident manifestation.
And I have indeed sought refuge with my Lord and yourpl Lord lest you stone me.
Thus if youpl do not believe in me, just keep away from me.”
Then he called upon his Lord—that these people are criminals.
(Then His Lord commanded,) “Journey with My servants by night; indeed, youpl will be followed.
And leavesg the sea parted (behind you); indeed, they are an army to be drowned.”
How many gardens and springs did they leave behind,
as well as vegetation(s) and a noble domicile
and a blessing they used to enjoy?
So it was. And We made another people inherit it.
So neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor were they reprieved.
And surely, We delivered the Children of Israel from the demeaning punishment—
from Pharaoh; indeed, he was of the extremists.
And We chose them knowingly over all communities,
and gave them of the signs that which was an evident test.
Indeed, these people surely say,
“There is nothing but our first death, for we will not be resurrected.
So bringpl back our forefathers, if you are truthful!”
Are they better, or the people of Tubba’ and those before them? We annihilated them; indeed, they were criminals.
And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them to play.
We did not create them except with truth, but most of them do not know.
Indeed, the Day of Decision is the appointed time for them all—
a day when no patron will avail a protégé in any way, and they cannot be supported,
except for one upon whom Allah has had mercy; indeed, He is the Almighty, the Bestower of mercy.
Indeed, the Tree of Zaqqum
is the food of the sinful one,
like molten brass boiling in the bellies
like the boiling of scalding water.
"Takepl him and drag him into the midst of Hell,
then pour over his head some of the punishment of scalding water!”
Tastesg! You —indeed you—are the mighty, the noble. "
Indeed, this is what youpl were skeptical about."
Indeed, the mindful (of God) are in a safe domicile,
amidst Gardens and springs,
dressed in silk and brocade, facing one another.
So it is. And We married them to spouses with lovely wide eyes.
They call therein for every kind of fruit, feeling safe.
Therein they do not taste death beyond the first death, and He shielded them from the punishment of Hell—
a grace from yoursg Lord; that is the great triumph.
Thus have We made it easy through yoursg tongue, that they may remind themselves.
So wait and watchsg. Indeed, they too are waiting and watching.
