أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
2
وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
﴿2﴾
44:2
By the clear Book!
3
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
﴿3﴾
44:3
Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night,1 for We always warn ˹against evil˺.
4
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
﴿4﴾
44:4
On that night every matter of wisdom is ordained
5
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
﴿5﴾
44:5
by a command from Us, for We have always sent ˹messengers˺
6
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
﴿6﴾
44:6
as a mercy from your Lord. He ˹alone˺ is truly the All-Hearing, All-Knowing—
7
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
﴿7﴾
44:7
the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, if only you had sure faith.
8
لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
﴿8﴾
44:8
There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He ˹alone˺ gives life and causes death. ˹He is˺ your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers.
9
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ
﴿9﴾
44:9
In fact, they are in doubt, amusing themselves.
10
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
﴿10﴾
44:10
Wait then ˹O Prophet˺ for the day ˹when˺ the sky will be veiled in haze,1 clearly visible,
11
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
﴿11﴾
44:11
overwhelming the people. ˹They will cry,˺ “This is a painful torment.
12
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
﴿12﴾
44:12
Our Lord! Remove ˹this˺ torment from us, ˹and˺ we will certainly believe.”
13
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
﴿13﴾
44:13
How can they be reminded when a messenger has already come to them, making things clear,
14
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ
﴿14﴾
44:14
then they turned away from him, saying, “A madman, taught by others!”?
15
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
﴿15﴾
44:15
Indeed, We will remove ˹that˺ torment for a while, and you ˹Meccans˺ will return ˹to disbelief˺.
16
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
﴿16﴾
44:16
˹Then˺ on the Day We will deal ˹you˺ the fiercest blow, We will surely inflict punishment.
17
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ
﴿17﴾
44:17
Indeed, before them We tested Pharaoh’s people: a noble messenger came to them,
18
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
﴿18﴾
44:18
˹proclaiming,˺ “Hand over the servants of Allah to me.1 I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
19
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
﴿19﴾
44:19
And do not be arrogant with Allah. I have certainly come to you with a compelling proof.
20
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
﴿20﴾
44:20
And indeed, I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord so you do not stone me ˹to death˺.
21
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
﴿21﴾
44:21
˹But˺ if you do not believe me, then let me be.”
22
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ
﴿22﴾
44:22
Ultimately, he cried out to his Lord, “These are a wicked people!”
23
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
﴿23﴾
44:23
˹Allah responded,˺ “Leave with My servants at night, for you will surely be pursued.
24
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ
﴿24﴾
44:24
And leave the sea parted, for they are certainly an army bound to drown.”
25
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
﴿25﴾
44:25
˹Imagine˺ how many gardens and springs the tyrants1 left behind,
26
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
﴿26﴾
44:26
as well as ˹various˺ crops and splendid residences,
27
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهِينَ
﴿27﴾
44:27
and luxuries which they fully enjoyed.
28
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
﴿28﴾
44:28
So it was. And We awarded it ˹all˺ to another people.
29
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
﴿29﴾
44:29
Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor was their fate delayed.
30
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
﴿30﴾
44:30
And We certainly delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment
