Saheeh InternationalOn that night is made distinct every precise matter

Yusuf AliBy command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations)

Saheeh International[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

Yusuf AliAs Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things)

Saheeh InternationalAs mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing

Saheeh InternationalThen watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke

Yusuf AliEnveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous

Saheeh InternationalCovering the people; this is a painful torment

Yusuf Ali(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe

Saheeh International[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers

Yusuf AliHow shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Apostle explaining things clearly has (already) come to them

Saheeh InternationalHow will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger

Yusuf AliYet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed

Saheeh InternationalThen they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman

Yusuf AliWe shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways)

Yusuf AliOne day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution

Saheeh InternationalThe Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution

Yusuf AliWe did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them an apostle most honourable

Saheeh InternationalAnd We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger

Yusuf AliSaying: "Restore to me the Servants of God: I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust

Yusuf AliAnd corn-fields and noble buildings

Saheeh InternationalAnd crops and noble sites

Yusuf AliAnd wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight

Saheeh InternationalAnd comfort wherein they were amused

Saheeh InternationalAre they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals

Yusuf AliWe created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport

Saheeh InternationalAnd We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play

Yusuf AliWe created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand

Saheeh InternationalWe did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know
