Ha, Meem.

Haa Meeem

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ2

By the clear Book,

Wal Kitaabil Mubeen

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ3

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

Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ4

On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem

أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ5

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

Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen

رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ6

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

Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ7

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

Rabbis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa; in kuntum mooqineen

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ8

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

Laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa yuhyee wa yumeetu Rabbukum wa Rabbu aabaaa'ikumul awwaleen

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ9

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ10

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

Fartaqib Yawma taatis samaaa'u bidukhaanim mubeen

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ11

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ12

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

Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ13

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

Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ14

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

Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ15

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

Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ16

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

Yawma nabtishul batsha tal kubraa innaa muntaqimoon

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ17

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,

Wa laqad fatannaa qablahum qawma Fir'awna wa jaaa'ahum Rasoolun kareem

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ18

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

An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ19

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

Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ20

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

Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ21

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

Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ22

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

Fada'aa rabbahooo anna haaa'ulaaa'i qawmum mujrimoon

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ23

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

Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ24

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

Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ25

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

Kam tarakoo min jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ26

And crops and noble sites

Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem

وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ27

And comfort wherein they were amused.

Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ28

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ29

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

Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ30

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

Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ31

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

Min Fir'awn; innahoo kaana 'aaliyam minal musrifeen

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ32

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

Wa laqadikh tarnaahum 'alaa 'ilmin 'alal 'aalameen

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ33

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

Wa aatainaahum minal aayaati maa feehi balaaa'um mubeen

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ34

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i la yaqooloon

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ35

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

In hiya illaa mawtatunal oolaa wa maa nahnu bimun shareen

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ36

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

Faatoo bi aabaaa'inaaa inkuntum saadiqeen

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ37

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

Ahum khayrun am qawmu Tubba'inw wallazeena min qablihim; ahlaknaahum innahum kaanoo mujrimeen

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ38

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

Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa baina humaa laa'ibeen

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ39

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

Maa khalaqnaahumaaa illaa bilhaqqi wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ40

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

Inna yawmal fasli meeqaatuhum ajma'een

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ41

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

Yawma laa yughnee mawlan 'am mawlan shai'anw wa laa hum yunsaroon

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ42

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

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ46

Like the boiling of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ47

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

Khuzoohu fa'tiloohu ilaa sawaaa'il Jaheem

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ48

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

Within gardens and springs,

Fee jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ53

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

Yalbasoona min sundusinw wa istbraqim mutaqaabileen

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ54

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