وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

We swear by the Glorious Book

2

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ

that We revealed this Qur'an in a blessed night (Layla-tul Qadr); for We wanted to forewarn mankind.

3

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

In that night every matter is decided wisely

4

أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

by a command from Ourself. Surely We send it (The Qur'an) down,

5

رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

as a blessing from your Rabb; it is He Who is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

6

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

The Rabb of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, mark this, if you are true believers!

7

لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

There is no god but Him. He gives life and death. He is your Rabb and the Rabb of your forefathers.

8

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ

Yet they play about in doubt.

9

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

Well! Wait for the Day when the sky will pour down visible smoke.

10

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Enveloping all mankind; this will be a painful punishment.

11

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ

Then the mankind will say: "Our Rabb! Remove from us this punishment, surely we have become real believers."

12

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ

But how can the acceptance of Our Message at that time be beneficial to them? A Rasool (Muhammad), who made the things clear, has come to them

13

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ

yet they deny him, saying: "He is a madman, taught by others!"

14

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

We shall remove the affliction (famine from which they were suffering) for a while, but you will revert to the same old ways.

15

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

One day We shall seize them with a mighty onslaught to exact Our retribution.

16

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ

Before them We had put the people of Fir'on (Pharaoh) to the same test, when an honorable Rasool came to them,

17

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

saying: "Hand over to me the servants of Allah. I am a to you a Rasool worthy of all trust.

18

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

Do not hold yourselves above Allah, surely I have brought to you a clear authority.

19

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

I have taken refuge with my Rabb and your Rabb against you injuring me.

20

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

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

21

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ

But they became aggressive, so Musa prayed to his Rabb: "These are indeed a criminal people."

22

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

The reply came: "Set forth with My servants (Israelites) at night, surely you shall be pursued.

23

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ

When you have crossed the red sea along with your people miraculously, then leave the sea divided; for they are a host who are destined to be drowned."

24

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

How many gardens and springs they left behind!

25

وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

And agriculture and grand palaces!

26

وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهِينَ

And means of luxury and comfort which they used to enjoy!

27

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

Thus was their end! And We let other people inherit what was once theirs.

28

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

Neither Heaven nor earth sheds tears for them; nor were they given a respite.

29

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

We did deliver the children of Israel from a humiliating chastisement

30

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

inflicted by Fir'on who was the most arrogant among such inordinate transgressors,

31

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

and We chose them, inspite of knowing their weaknesses above the nations of the world.

32

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ

We showed them signs in which there was a clear trial.

33

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

As to these (people of Qureysh) who say:

34

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

"There is nothing beyond our first death and we shall not be raised again.

35

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Bring back our forefathers if you are truthful."

36

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

Are these people better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them all only because they had become criminals.

37

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ

It was not for a sport that We created the heavens the earth and all that lies between them.

38

مَا خَلَقْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

We have created them to reveal the truth, but most of them do not understand.

39

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَـٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Surely the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for the resurrection of them all.

40

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

On that Day no one shall be able to protect his friend, nor shall they receive any help

41

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

except those to whom Allah will show His Mercy: for it is He Who is the All-Mighty, the All Merciful.

42

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Surely the Zaqqum tree

43

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

shall be the food of the sinners,

44

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

it will be like the drags of oil. Which shall boil in the belly

45

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

like the boiling of scalding water.

46

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

A voice will be heard: "Seize him and drag him into the depth of the hell,

47

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

then pour scalding water over his head,

48

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

then the voice will say: "Taste it; you were such a powerful noble!

49

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

This is the punishment which you use to doubt."

50

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ

4 As for the righteous, they will be in a secure place;

51

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

among gardens and springs,

52

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

dressed in fine silk and rich brocade, sitting face to face.

53

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ

Such shall be their place! And We shall wed them to Hourin-Ayn (damsels with beautiful big and lustrous eyes).

54

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

There, in full peace, they shall call for every kind of fruit;

55

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

and after having prior death in the world, they shall taste death no more; and He (Allah) will protect them from the torment of hell

56

فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

as a grace from your Rabb, and that will be the supreme achievement.

57

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Surely We have made this Qur'an easy by revealing in your own language so that they may take heed.

58

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

If they do not accept the admonition then wait; surely they too are waiting.
