﴿٢﴾ وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
2. By the Enlightening Scripture.
﴿٣﴾ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِينَ
3. We revealed it on a Blessed Night—We have been warning.
﴿٤﴾ فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
4. In it, every wise command is made distinct.
﴿٥﴾ أَمْرًا مِنْ عِنْدِنَا ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

﴿٦﴾ رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
6. As mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
﴿٧﴾ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ
7. Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between them, if you are certain.
﴿٨﴾ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
8. There is no god except He. He gives life, and He causes death. Your Lord and Lord of your earliest ancestors.
﴿٩﴾ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
9. Yet they play around in doubt.
﴿١٠﴾ فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ
10. So watch for the Day when the sky produces a visible smoke.
﴿١١﴾ يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

﴿١٢﴾ رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
12. “Our Lord, lift the suffering from us, we are believers.”
﴿١٣﴾ أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُبِينٌ
13. How can there be a reminder for them, and an enlightening messenger has come to them.
﴿١٤﴾ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَجْنُونٌ
14. But they turned away from him, and said, “Educated, but crazy.”
﴿١٥﴾ إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ
15. We will postpone the punishment for a while, but you will return.

﴿١٧﴾ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ
17. We tested the people of Pharaoh before them: a noble messenger came to them.
﴿١٨﴾ أَنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
18. “Hand over the servants of Allah to me. I am a trustworthy messenger to you.”
﴿١٩﴾ وَأَنْ لَا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي آتِيكُمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ
19. And, “Do not exalt yourselves above Allah. I come to you with clear authority.
﴿٢٠﴾ وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَنْ تَرْجُمُونِ
20. And I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you condemn me.
﴿٢١﴾ وَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ
21. But if you do not believe in me, then keep away from me.”
﴿٢٢﴾ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُجْرِمُونَ
22. Then he then appealed to his Lord: “These are guilty people.”
﴿٢٣﴾ فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيْلًا إِنَّكُمْ مُتَّبَعُونَ
23. “Set out with My servants by night—you will be followed.
﴿٢٤﴾ وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُغْرَقُونَ
24. And cross the sea quickly—they are an army to be drowned.”
﴿٢٥﴾ كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
25. How many gardens and fountains did they leave behind?
﴿٢٦﴾ وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
26. And plantations, and splendid residences.
﴿٢٧﴾ وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ
27. And luxuries they used to enjoy.
﴿٢٨﴾ كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ
28. So it was. And We passed it on to another people.
﴿٢٩﴾ فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنْظَرِينَ
29. Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor were they delayed.
﴿٣٠﴾ وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ
30. And We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating persecution.
﴿٣١﴾ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
31. From Pharaoh. He was a tyrant, a transgressor.
﴿٣٢﴾ وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
32. And We chose them knowingly over all people.
﴿٣٣﴾ وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُبِينٌ
33. And We gave them many signs in which was an obvious trial.
﴿٣٤﴾ إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
34. Yet these say:
﴿٣٥﴾ إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِينَ
35. “There is nothing beyond our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
﴿٣٦﴾ فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
36. Bring back our ancestors, if you are truthful.”
﴿٣٧﴾ أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ
37. Are they better, or the people of Tubba and those before them? We annihilated them. They were guilty.
﴿٣٨﴾ وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ
38. We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in play.
﴿٣٩﴾ مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

﴿٤٢﴾ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

﴿٥٠﴾ إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَمْتَرُونَ
50. This is what you used to doubt.
﴿٥١﴾ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ

﴿٥٤﴾ كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَاهُمْ بِحُورٍ عِينٍ
54. So it will be. And We will pair them with lovely companions.
﴿٥٥﴾ يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ آمِنِينَ
55. In it, they call for every fruit, in serenity.
﴿٥٦﴾ لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَاهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ
56. They will taste no death in it, except the first death. And He will protect them from the suffering of the Blaze.
