ia, Meem
By the clear Book
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind]
On that night is made distinct every precise matter
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke
Covering the people; this is a painful torment
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief]
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution
And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger
[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah . Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"
And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah . Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority
And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me
But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people
[ Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued
And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."
How much they left behind of gardens and spring
And crops and noble site
And comfort wherein they were amused
Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved
And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying
"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected
Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals
And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play
We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all
The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped
Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful
Indeed, the tree of zaqqum
Is food for the sinful
Like murky oil, it boils within bellies
Like the boiling of scalding water
[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire
Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."
[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble
Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."
Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place
Within gardens and springs
Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other
Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes
They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure
They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfir
As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment
And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded
So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end]
