Ḥā, Meem.

Ha-meem

By the clear Book,

Walkitabi almubeen

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

Inna anzalnahu fee laylatin mubarakatininna kunna munthireen

Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct every precise matter -

Feeha yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

Amran min AAindina inna kunnamursileen

As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

Rahmatan min rabbika innahu huwa assameeAAualAAaleem

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

Rabbi assamawati wal-ardiwama baynahuma in kuntum mooqineen

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

La ilaha illa huwa yuhyeewayumeetu rabbukum warabbu aba-ikumu al-awwaleen

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboon

Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke

Fartaqib yawma ta/tee assamaobidukhanin mubeen

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

Yaghsha annasa hathaAAathabun aleem

[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."

Rabbana ikshif AAanna alAAathabainna mu/minoon

How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.

Anna lahumu aththikrawaqad jaahum rasoolun mubeen

Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

Thumma tawallaw AAanhu waqaloomuAAallamun majnoon

Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

Inna kashifoo alAAathabiqaleelan innakum AAa-idoon

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

Yawma nabtishu albatshataalkubra inna muntaqimoon

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger [i.e., Moses],

Walaqad fatanna qablahum qawmafirAAawna wajaahum rasoolun kareem

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allāh. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

An addoo ilayya AAibada Allahiinnee lakum rasoolun ameen

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allāh. Indeed, I have come to you with clear evidence.

Waan la taAAloo AAala Allahiinnee ateekum bisultanin mubeen

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

Wa-innee AAuthtu birabbee warabbikuman tarjumoon

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

Wa-in lam tu/minoo lee faAAtaziloon

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

FadaAAa rabbahu anna haola-iqawmun mujrimoon

[Allāh said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

Faasri biAAibadee laylan innakummuttabaAAoon

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

Watruki albahra rahwaninnahum jundun mughraqoon

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

Kam tarakoo min jannatin waAAuyoon

And crops and noble sites

WazurooAAin wamaqamin kareem

And comfort wherein they were amused.

WanaAAmatin kanoo feeha fakiheen

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

Kathalika waawrathnahaqawman akhareen

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

Fama bakat AAalayhimu assamaowal-ardu wama kanoo munthareen

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

Walaqad najjayna banee isra-eelamina alAAathabi almuheen

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

Min firAAawna innahu kana AAaliyanmina almusrifeen

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

Walaqadi ikhtarnahum AAalaAAilmin AAala alAAalameen

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

Waataynahum mina al-ayatima feehi balaon mubeen

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

Inna haola-i layaqooloon

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

In hiya illa mawtatuna al-oolawama nahnu bimunshareen

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

Fa/too bi-aba-ina inkuntum sadiqeen

Are they better or the people of Tubbaʿ and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin wallatheenamin qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeen

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

Wama khalaqna assamawatiwal-arda wama baynahuma laAAibeen

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

Ma khalaqnahuma illabilhaqqi walakinna aktharahum layaAAlamoon

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -

Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhumajmaAAeen

The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlanshay-an wala hum yunsaroon

Except those [believers] on whom Allāh has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Illa man rahima Allahuinnahu huwa alAAazeezu arraheem

Indeed, the tree of zaqqūm

Inna shajarata azzaqqoom

Is food for the sinful.

TaAAamu al-atheem

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

Kalmuhli yaghlee fee albutoon

Like the boiling of scalding water.

Kaghalyi alhameem

[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

Khuthoohu faAAtiloohu ilasawa-i aljaheem

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

Thumma subboo fawqa ra/sihi min AAathabialhameem

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!

Thuq innaka anta alAAazeezu alkareem

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

Inna hatha ma kuntum bihitamtaroon

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place:

Inna almuttaqeena fee maqamin ameen

Within gardens and springs,

Fee jannatin waAAuyoon

Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

Yalbasoona min sundusin wa-istabraqin mutaqabileen

Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

Kathalika wazawwajnahum bihoorinAAeen

They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.

YadAAoona feeha bikulli fakihatinamineen

They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

La yathooqoona feehaalmawta illa almawtata al-oola wawaqahum AAathabaaljaheem

As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.

Fadlan min rabbika thalikahuwa alfawzu alAAatheem

And indeed, We have eased it [i.e., the Qur’ān] in your tongue that they might be reminded.

Fa-innama yassarnahu bilisanikalaAAallahum yatathakkaroon

So watch, [O Muḥammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].

Fartaqib innahum murtaqiboon
