Haa Meeem

Ha, Meem.

Wal Kitaabil Mubeen

By the clear Book,

Innaaa anzalnaahu fee lailatim mubaarakah; innaa kunnaa munzireen

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

Feehaa yufraqu kullu amrin hakeem

On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

Amram min 'indinaaa; innaa kunnaa mursileen

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

Rahmatam mir rabbik; innahoo Huwas Samee'ul 'Aleem

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

Rabbis samaawaati wal ardi wa maa bainahumaa; in kuntum mooqineen

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

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

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

Bal hum fee shakkiny yal'aboon

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

Fartaqib Yawma taatis samaaa'u bidukhaanim mubeen

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

Yaghshan naasa haazaa 'azaabun aleem

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

Rabbanak shif 'annal 'azaaba innaa mu'minoon

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

Annaa lahumuz zikraa wa qad jaaa'ahum Rasoolum mubeen

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

Summaa tawallaw 'anhu wa qaaloo mu'allamum majnoon

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

Innaa kaashiful 'azaabi qaleelaa; innakum 'aaa'indoon

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

Yawma nabtishul batsha tal kubraa innaa muntaqimoon

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

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

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

An addooo ilaiya 'ibaadal laahi innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

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

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

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

Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon

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

Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon

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

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

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

Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon

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

Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon

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

Kam tarakoo min jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem

And crops and noble sites

Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen

And comfort wherein they were amused.

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

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

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

Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen

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