44-1 : Ha Mim!

44-2 : I swear by the book40 that makes manifest (the truth).

44-3 : Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning - -

44-4 : Therein every wise affair is made distinct,

44-5 : A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),

44-6 : A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

44-7 : The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.

44-8 : There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.

44-9 : Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.

44-10 : Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,

44-11 : That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.

44-12 : Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.

44-13 : How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),

44-14 : Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.

44-15 : Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).

44-16 : On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.

44-17 : And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,

44-18 : Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,

44-19 : And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:

44-20 : And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:

44-21 : And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.

44-22 : Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.

44-23 : So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:

44-24 : And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.

44-25 : How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!

44-26 : And cornfields and noble places!

44-27 : And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;

44-28 : Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.

44-29 : So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.

44-30 : And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,

44-31 : From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.

44-32 : And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.

44-33 : And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.

44-34 : Most surely these do say:

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

44-36 : So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.

44-37 : Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

44-38 : And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.

44-39 : We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.

44-40 : Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them

44-41 : The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,

44-42 : Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.

44-43 : Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,

44-44 : Is the food of the sinful

44-45 : Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,

44-46 : Like the boiling of hot water.

44-47 : Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell;

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

44-49 : Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:

44-50 : Surely this is what you disputed about.

44-51 : Surely those who guard (against evil) are in a secure place,

44-52 : In gardens and springs;

44-53 : They shall wear of fine and thick silk, (sitting) face to face;

44-54 : Thus (shall it be), and We will wed them with Houris pure, beautiful ones.

44-55 : They shall call therein for every fruit in security;

44-56 : They shall not taste therein death except the first death, and He will save them from the punishment of the hell,

44-57 : A grace from your Lord; this is the great achievement.

44-58 : So have We made it easy in your tongue that they may be mindful.

44-59 : Therefore wait; surely they are waiting.
