"He it is Who sendeth down clear revelations unto His slave, that He may bring you forth from darkness unto light; and lo! for you, Allah is Full of Pity, Merciful." — Holy Qur'an 57:9
Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
044.001 | Ha-Mim. |
044.002 | By the Book that makes things clear;- |
044.003 | We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil). |
044.004 | In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom, |
044.005 | By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations), |
044.006 | As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things); |
044.007 | The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith. |
044.008 | There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,- The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors. |
044.009 | Yet they play about in doubt. |
044.010 | Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible, |
044.011 | Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous. |
044.012 | (They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!" |
044.013 | How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Apostle explaining things clearly has (already) come to them,- |
044.014 | Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!" |
044.015 | We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways). |
044.016 | One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution! |
044.017 | We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them an apostle most honourable, |
044.018 | Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of God: I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust; |
044.019 | "And be not arrogant as against God: for I come to you with authority manifest. |
044.020 | "For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me. |
044.021 | "If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me." |
044.022 | (But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin." |
044.023 | (The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued. |
044.024 | "And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned." |
044.025 | How many were the gardens and springs they left behind, |
044.026 | And corn-fields and noble buildings, |
044.027 | And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight! |
044.028 | Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)! |
044.029 | And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again). |
044.030 | We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment, |
044.031 | Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors. |
044.032 | And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly, |
044.033 | And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial |
044.034 | As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth: |
044.035 | "There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again. |
044.036 | "Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!" |
044.037 | What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin. |
044.038 | We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport: |
044.039 | We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand. |
044.040 | Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them,- |
044.041 | The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive, |
044.042 | Except such as receive God's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful. |
044.043 | Verily the tree of Zaqqum |
044.044 | Will be the food of the Sinful,- |
044.045 | Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides. |
044.046 | Like the boiling of scalding water. |
044.047 | (A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire! |
044.048 | "Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water, |
044.049 | "Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour! |
044.050 | "Truly this is what ye used to doubt!" |
044.051 | As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security, |
044.052 | Among Gardens and Springs; |
044.053 | Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other; |
044.054 | So; and We shall join them to Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes. |
044.055 | There can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security; |
044.056 | Nor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire,- |
044.057 | As a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement! |
044.058 | Verily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed. |
044.059 | So wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting. |
Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
