Smoke

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[44:1]

Ha. Mim.

[44:2]

By the Scripture that maketh plain

[44:3]

Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -

[44:4]

Whereon every wise command is made clear

[44:5]

As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending -

[44:6]

A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower,

[44:7]

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.

[44:8]

There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.

[44:9]

Nay, but they play in doubt.

[44:10]

But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke

[44:11]

That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.

[44:12]

(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.

[44:13]

How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,

[44:14]

And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman ?

[44:15]

Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).

[44:16]

On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.

[44:17]

And verily We tried before them Pharaoh’s folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,

[44:18]

Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.
