Mecca59 VersePage 496

The Smoke

Hâ, Mim.

By the manifest Book.

We surely sent it down on a blessed night. Without a doubt, We are the Warners.

Therein (this night) every wise command is distinguished (determined),

as a Command from Us. Surely, We are the Senders (of the Qur’an and the Messengers),

as a Mercy from your Lord. Surely, He, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. If you are the owners of a firm faith (at the level of Ayn'el and Hakkul Yaqîn), then

there is no god but He. He gives life and kills. He is your Lord, and Lord of your forefathers.

Nay, they are playing about in doubt.

Wait for the day when an evident smoke (of lawlessness) will cover the sky.

(The smoke of lawlessness) covered (most of) the people. That is a painful torment.

Our Lord, remove from us this torment. Surely, we are believers.

There had come to them a Messenger that explained (everything). (In spite of this) they did not learn a lesson (from what the Messenger has said).

And they told (that messenger):"Taught (by revelation from Satan) and madman," and after they turned away from him.

Surely (even) if We remove the torment a little, you are the ones who certainly shall return (to polytheism).

The day when We shall seize (them) with the most violent seizing, surely, We are the One Who will take vengeance.

And certainly We tried before them Pharaoh’s people too, and a noble Messenger (Moses) had come to them.

(Saying): “Give me the servants of Allah. Surely, I am a trustful Messenger for you.

And do not exalt yourselves against Allah! Because, I come to you with a clear Sultan (with proof, with explanation).

And surely, because you can stone me, I took refuge with my Lord and your Lord.

And if you do not believe in me, then keep away from me”.

Then he called upon his Lord, saying: “These are a sinning people”.

Set off immediately in the night (along) with My servants! Surely you will be pursued.

And leave the sea open! Surely, they are an army that shall be drowned.

How many gardens and springs they left,

and crop fields, and places of honor (beautiful palaces),

And (they left the) blessings, wherein they used to take delight (and followed Moses)!

Just like that. And And We made the next generation their heirs.

The heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they reprieved.

And I swear, We saved the Sons of Israel from the abasing torment,

a Pharaoh that he surely was unbridled and one of those with megalomania.

And I swear, We chose them (Sons of Israel), upon a knowledge, above the Worlds.

And We gave them of the Verses (miracles) wherein was a clear trial.

Most surely they certainly will say:

”(Our death is) only our first death and we shall not be raised again.

So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful”.

Are they better or the people of Tubba or those before them? We destroyed them, because they were sinners.

And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them, for play.

We did not create them both except with the truth, and but most of them do not know.

Surely the Day of Separation (from each other of positive and negative degrees) is appointed term all of them.

On that Day, there is no benefit from a friend to a friend, nor shall they be helped,

except him on whom Allah has Mercy (whom Allah acting Himself with His Name of Most Merciful). Surely, He is the Majestic, the Most Merciful.

Surely the tree of Zaqqûm—

it is the food of the sinful.

Boils in their bellies like melted metal:

like the boiling of scalding water.

Seize him! Drag him into the middle of hell.

Then pour over his head the boiling water as torment.

Taste (the torment)! Verily, you were (as you supposed) the mighty, the honorable.

Surely this Torment is what you used to doubt.

Surely the owners of takwa (spiritual armor) are at secure posts:

in paradises and springs,

facing each other, dressed in silk and satin.

Just like this. And We wed them with Hûr that have wide, lovely eyes.

Therein in safety they ask for all kinds of fruits.

They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and (Allah) had protected them from the torment of hell.

As a generosity from your Lord, this is the Greatest Salvation.

Thus have We made it (the Qur’an) easy in your language. It is hoped that they think.

Now wait! Surely, they are also waiting.
