Yusuf AliHa-Mim
Yusuf AliBy the Book that makes things clear
Yusuf AliWe sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil)
Yusuf AliIn the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom
Yusuf AliBy command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations)
Yusuf AliAs Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things)
Yusuf AliThe Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith
Yusuf AliThere is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death,- The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors
Yusuf AliThen watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible
Yusuf AliEnveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous
Yusuf Ali(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe
Yusuf AliHow shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Apostle explaining things clearly has (already) come to them
Yusuf AliYet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed
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
Yusuf AliWe did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them an apostle most honourable
Yusuf AliSaying: "Restore to me the Servants of God: I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust
Yusuf AliAnd be not arrogant as against God: for I come to you with authority manifest
Yusuf AliFor me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me
Yusuf AliIf ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me
Yusuf Ali(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin
Yusuf Ali(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued
Yusuf AliAnd leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned
Yusuf AliHow many were the gardens and springs they left behind
Yusuf AliAnd corn-fields and noble buildings
Yusuf AliAnd wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight
Yusuf AliThus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)
Yusuf AliAnd neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again)
Yusuf AliWe did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment
Yusuf AliInflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors
Yusuf AliAnd We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly
Yusuf AliAnd granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
Yusuf AliAs to these (Quraish), they say forsooth
Yusuf AliThere is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again
Yusuf AliThen bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true
Yusuf AliWhat! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin
Yusuf AliWe created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport
Yusuf AliWe created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand
Yusuf AliVerily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them
Yusuf AliThe Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive
Yusuf AliExcept such as receive God's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful
Yusuf AliWill be the food of the Sinful
Yusuf AliLike molten brass; it will boil in their insides
Yusuf AliLike the boiling of scalding water
Yusuf AliA voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire
Yusuf AliThen pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water
Yusuf AliTaste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour
Yusuf AliTruly this is what ye used to doubt
Yusuf AliAs to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security
Yusuf AliAmong Gardens and Springs
Yusuf AliDressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other
Yusuf AliSo; and We shall join them to Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes
Yusuf AliThere can they call for every kind of fruit in peace and security
Yusuf AliNor will they there taste Death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire
Yusuf AliAs a Bounty from thy Lord! that will be the supreme achievement
Yusuf AliVerily, We have made this (Qur'an) easy, in thy tongue, in order that they may give heed
Yusuf AliSo wait thou and watch; for they (too) are waiting
