44-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Ha. Mim.

44-2 : By the scripture that maketh plain

44-3 : Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -

44-4 : Whereon every wise command is made clear

44-5 : As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending -

44-6 : A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower,

44-7 : Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.

44-8 : There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.

44-9 : Nay, but they play in doubt.

44-10 : But watch thou (O muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke

44-11 : That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.

44-12 : (Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.

44-13 : How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,

44-14 : And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman ?

44-15 : Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).

44-16 : On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.

44-17 : And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,

44-18 : Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.

44-19 : And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.

44-20 : And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.

44-21 : And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.

44-22 : And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.

44-23 : Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,

44-24 : And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.

44-25 : How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,

44-26 : And the cornlands and the goodly sites

44-27 : And pleasant things wherein they took delight!

44-28 : Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;

44-29 : And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

44-30 : And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;

44-31 : (We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.

44-32 : And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.

44-33 : And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.

44-34 : Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:

44-35 : There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again.

44-36 : bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!

44-37 : Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them ? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

44-38 : And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.

44-39 : We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.

44-40 : Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,

44-41 : A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,

44-42 : Save him on whom Allah hath mercy. Lo! He is the Mighty, the Merciful.

44-43 : Lo! the tree of Zaqqum,

44-44 : The food of the sinner!

44-45 : Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies

44-46 : As the seething of boiling water.

44-47 : (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,

44-48 : Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water.

44-49 : (Saying): Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!

44-50 : Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

44-51 : Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.

44-52 : Amid gardens and watersprings,

44-53 : Attired in silk and silk embroidery, facing one another.

44-54 : Even so (it will be). And We shall wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes.

44-55 : They call therein for every fruit in safety.

44-56 : They taste not death therein, save the first death. And He hath saved them from the doom of hell,

44-57 : A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.

44-58 : And We have made (this scripture) easy in thy language only that they may heed.

44-59 : Wait then (O muhammad). Lo! they (too) are waiting.
