Ḥā, Meem.

وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

Wal-Kitaabil Mubeen.

By the clear Book,

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ

ʹInnaaa ʹañzalnaahu fee laylatim mubaarakatin ʹinnaa kunnaa muñẓireen.

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

Feehaa yufraq̣u kullu ʹamrin ḥakeem,

Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct every precise matter -

أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

ʹAmram min ʻiñdinaa. ʹInnaa kunnaa mursileen―

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

رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Raḥmatam mir Rabbik: ʹinnahoo Huwas Sameeʻul ʻAleem;

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

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

Rabbis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wa-maa baynahumaa, Iñ kuntum mooq̣ineen.

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Huwa yuḥyee wa-yumeet:― Rabbukum wa-Rabbu ʹaabaaaʹikumul ʹawwaleen.

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ

Bal hum fee shakkiñy yalʻaboon.

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

Fartaq̣ib Yawma taʹtis samaaaʹu bi-DUKHAANIM mubeen,

Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Yag̣shan naas: haaẓaa ʻAẓaabun ʹaleem.

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ

Rabbanak shif ʻannal ʻaẓaaba ʹinnaa Muʹminoon!

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

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ

ʹAnnaa lahumuẓ Ẓikraa wa-q̣ad jaaaʹahum Rasoolum mubeen,―

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

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ

S̤umma tawallaw ʻanhu wa-q̣aaloo muʻallamum majnoon.

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

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

ʹInnaa kaashiful ʻaẓaabi q̣aleelan ʹinnakum ʻaaaʹidoon.

Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

Yawma nabṭishul baṭshatal kubraa: ʹinnaa muñtaq̣imoon!

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ

Wa-laq̣ad fatannaa q̣ablahum q̣awma Firʻawna wa-jaaaʹahum Rasooluñ Kareem,

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger [i.e., Moses],

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

ʹAn ʹaddooo ʹilayya ʻibaadal laah: ʹinnee lakum Rasoolun ʹameen;

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allāh. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa-ʹal laa taʻloo ʻalal laah: ʹinneee ʹaateekum̃ bisulṭaanim mubeen.

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allāh. Indeed, I have come to you with clear evidence.

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

Wa-ʹinnee ʻuẓtu bi-Rabbee wa-Rabbikum ʹañ tarjumoon.

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

Wa-ʹil lam tuʹminoo lee faʻtaziloon.

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ

Fadaʻaa Rabbahooo ʹanna haaaʹulaaaʹi q̣awmum mujrimoon.

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Faʹasri biʹibaadee laylan ʹinnakum muttabaʻoon.

[Allāh said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ

Watrukil baḥra rahwaa: ʹinnahum juñdum mug̣raq̣oon.

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Kam tarakoo miñ jannaatiñw waʻuyoon,

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

Wa-zurooʻiñw Wamaq̣aamiñ kareem,

And crops and noble sites

وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهِينَ

Wa-naʻmatiñ kaanoo feehaa faakiheen!

And comfort wherein they were amused.

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

Kaẓaalik! wa-ʹawras̤naahaa q̣awman ʹaakhareen!

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

Famaa bakat ʻalayhimus samaaaʹu wal-ʹarḍu wa-maa kaanoo muñz̤̣areen.

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

Wa-laq̣ad najjaynaa Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeela minal ʻaẓaabil muheen.

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

Miñ Firʻawn: ʹinnahoo kaana ʻaaliyam minal musrifeen.

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Wa-laq̣adikh tarnaahum ʻalaa ʻilmin ʻalal ʻaalameen,

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ

Waʹaataynaahum minal ʹAayaati maa- feehi balaaaʹum mubeen.

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

ʹInna haaaʹulaaaʹi layaq̣ooloon,

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

ʹIn hiya ʹillaa mawtatunal ʹoolaa wa-maa naḥnu bimuñshareen.

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Faʹtoo biʹaabaaaʹinaaa ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een!

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

ʹAhum khayrun ʹam q̣awmu Tubbaʻiñw wallaẓeena miñ q̣ablihim? ʹAhlaknaahum ʹinnahum kaanoo mujrimeen.

Are they better or the people of Tubbaʿ and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ

Wa-maa khalaq̣nas samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa wa-maa baynahumaa laaʻibeen.

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

مَا خَلَقْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Maa- khalaq̣naahumaaa ʹillaa bilḥaq̣q̣i wa-laakinna ʹaks̤arahum laa- yaʻlamoon.

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَـٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

ʹInna Yawmal faṣli meeq̣aatuhum ʹajmaʻeen.―

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

Yawma laa- yug̣nee mawlan ʻam mawlañ shayʹañw walaa hum yuñṣaroon,

The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

ʹIllaa mar raḥimal laah: ʹinnahoo Huwal ʻAzeezur Raḥeem.

Except those [believers] on whom Allāh has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

ʹInna shajarataz Zaq̣q̣oom,

Indeed, the tree of zaqqūm

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

Ṭaʻaamul ʹas̤eem,―

Is food for the sinful.

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

Kalmuhli yag̣lee fil buṭoon,

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Kag̣alyil ḥameem.

Like the boiling of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Khuẓoohu faʻtiloohu ʹilaa sawaaaʹil Jaḥeem!

[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

S̤umma ṣubboo fawq̣a raʹsihee min ʻAẓaabil Ḥameem.

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

Ẓuq̣! ʹinnaka ʹañtal ʻazeezul kareem!

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

ʹInna haaẓaa maa- kuñtum̃ bihee tamtaroon!

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ

ʹInnal Muttaq̣eena fee maq̣aamin ʹameen,

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place:

فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Fee Jannaatiñw Waʻuyoon;

Within gardens and springs,

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

Yalbasoona Miñ suñdusiñw waʹistabraq̣im mutaq̣aabileen;

Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ

Kaẓaalik; wa-zawwajnaahum̃ biḥoorin ʻeen.

Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

Yadʻoona feeha bikulli faakihatin ʹaamineen;

They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Laa- yaẓooq̣oona feehal Mawta ʹillal mawtatal ʹoolaa; wa-waq̣aahum ʻaẓaabal Jaḥeem,―

They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Faḍlam mir Rabbik! Ẓaalika huwal fawzul ʻaz̤̣eem!

As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

Faʹinnamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika laʻallahum yataẓakkaroon.

And indeed, We have eased it [i.e., the Qur’ān] in your tongue that they might be reminded.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

Fartaq̣ib ʹinnahum murtaq̣iboon.

So watch, [O Muḥammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].
