[1] Ha Mim!
[2] I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).
[3] Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning--
[4] Therein every wise affair is made distinct,
[5] A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),
[6] A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
[7] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
[8] There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.
[9] Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.
[10] Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,
[11] That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.
[12] Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.
[13] How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),
[14] Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.
[15] Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).
[16] On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.
[17] And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,
[18] Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,
[19] And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:
[20] And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:
[21] And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
[22] Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
[23] So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:
[24] And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.
[25] How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!
[26] And cornfields and noble places!
[27] And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;
[28] Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.
[29] So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.
[30] And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,
[31] From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.
[32] And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.
[33] And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.
[34] Most surely these do say:
[35] There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again.
[36] So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.
[37] Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
[38] And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.
[39] We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.
[40] Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them
[41] The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,
[42] Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.
[43] Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,
[44] Is the food of the sinful
[45] Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,
[46] Like the boiling of hot water.
[47] Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;
[48] Then pour above his head of the torment of the boiling water:
[49] Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:
[50] Surely this is what you disputed about.
[51] Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place,
[52] In gardens and springs;
[53] They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face;
[54] Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.
[55] They shall call therein for every fruit in security;
[56] They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,
[57] A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.
[58] So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.
[59] Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
