44: Smoke
|
|
| 44:1
Ha. Mim. |
|
| 44:2
By the Scripture that maketh plain |
|
| 44:3
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning - |
|
| 44:4
Whereon every wise command is made clear |
|
| 44:5
As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending - |
|
| 44:6
A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower, |
|
| 44:7
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure. |
|
| 44:8
There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers. |
|
| 44:9
Nay, but they play in doubt. |
|
| 44:10
But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke |
|
| 44:11
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment. |
Those in torment will claim to believe and ask Allah for relief. But he
will refuse since they will return to their disbelief.
|
| 44:12
(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are
believers.
|
| 44:13
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had
already come unto them, |
|
| 44:14
And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman ? |
|
| 44:15
Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief). |
|
| 44:16
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in
truth We shall punish. |
|
| 44:17
And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger, |
|
| 44:18
Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you. |
|
| 44:19
And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant. |
|
| 44:20
And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death. |
|
| 44:21
And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go. |
|
| 44:22
And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk. |
|
| 44:23
Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed, |
|
| 44:24
And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host. |
|
| 44:25
How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind, |
|
| 44:26
And the cornlands and the goodly sites |
|
| 44:27
And pleasant things wherein they took delight! |
|
| 44:28
Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk; |
|
| 44:29
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved. |
|
| 44:30
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;
|
|
| 44:31
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones. |
|
| 44:32
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures. |
|
| 44:33
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. |
|
| 44:34
Lo! these, forsooth, are saying: |
|
| 44:35
There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again. |
|
| 44:36
Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth! |
|
| 44:37
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them ? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. |
|
| 44:38
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play. |
|
| 44:39
We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not. |
|
| 44:40
Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them, |
|
| 44:41
A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped, |
|
| 44:42
Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful. |
|
| 44:43
Lo! the tree of Zaqqum, |
"The tree of Zaqqum"
Those in hell must eat from a tree like molten brass that burns their
bellies. Then boiling water will be poured on their heads.
Hell in the Quran
|
| 44:44
The food of the sinner!
|
| 44:45
Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies
|
| 44:46
As the seething of boiling water.
|
| 44:47
(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, |
|
| 44:48
Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. |
|
| 44:49
(Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble! |
|
| 44:50
Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt. |
|
| 44:51
Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured. |
|
| 44:52
Amid gardens and watersprings, |
|
| 44:53
Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another. |
|
| 44:54
Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide,
lovely eyes. |
Allah will reward faithful Muslims after they die with "fair ones with wide, lovely eyes."
|
| 44:55
They call therein for every fruit in safety.
|
| 44:56
They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom
of hell, |
"He hath saved them [Muslims] from the doom of hell."
(Everyone else is going to hell.)
Hell and Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers
a painful doom
|
| 44:57
A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.
|
| 44:58
And We have made (this Scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.
|
| 44:59
Wait then (O Muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting. |
