Ha, Meem.  

حم  

By the clear Book,  

وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ  

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn ˹mankind˺.  

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِينَ  

On that night is made distinct every precise matter -  

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ  

˹Every˺ matter ˹proceeding˺ from Us. Indeed, We were to send ˹a messenger˺  

أَمْرًا مِنْ عِنْدِنَا ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ  

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

رَحْمَةً مِنْ رَبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ  

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

رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۖ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ  

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

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ  

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.  

بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ  

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

فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ  

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.  

يَغْشَى النَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ  

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

رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ  

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

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُبِينٌ  

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

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا مُعَلَّمٌ مَجْنُونٌ  

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

إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ  

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

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ
