Ad-Dukhan 44:31–59

44:31Page 497

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ ٣١

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

44:32Page 497

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٣٢

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

44:33Page 497

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٞاْ مُّبِينٌ ٣٣

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

44:34–35Page 497

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ٣٤

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ٣٥

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

44:36Page 497

فَأۡتُواْ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣٦

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

44:37Page 497

أَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعٖ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ ٣٧

Are they better or the people of Tubbaʿ¹ and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

44:38Page 497

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ٣٨

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

44:39Page 497

مَا خَلَقۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٩

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

44:40Page 498

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٤٠

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

44:41–42Page 498

يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِي مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلٗى شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ ٤١

The Day when no relation¹ will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٤٢

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

44:43–44Page 498

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ٤٣

Indeed, the tree of zaqqūm

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِيمِ ٤٤

Is food for the sinful.

44:45–46Page 498

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ يَغۡلِي فِي ٱلۡبُطُونِ ٤٥

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

كَغَلۡيِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ٤٦

Like the boiling of scalding water.

44:47Page 498

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٤٧

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

44:48Page 498

ثُمَّ صُبُّواْ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ ٤٨

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

44:49Page 498

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡكَرِيمُ ٤٩

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!¹

44:50Page 498

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ ٥٠

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

44:51Page 498

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٖ ٥١

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place:

44:52Page 498

فِي جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ ٥٢

Within gardens and springs,

44:53Page 498

يَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٖ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ٥٣

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

44:54Page 498

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٖ ٥٤

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

44:55Page 498

يَدۡعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ ٥٥

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

44:56Page 498

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٥٦

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

44:57–58Page 498

فَضۡلٗا مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ٥٧

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

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٨

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

44:59Page 498

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ إِنَّهُم مُّرۡتَقِبُونَ ٥٩

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