44. Duhan · verses 33–47

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٞاْ مُّبِينٌ

Waataynahum mina alayati ma feehi balaon mubeenun

And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

Inna haolai layaqooloona

As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

In hiya illa mawtatuna aloola wama nahnu bimunshareena

"There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.

فَأۡتُواْ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Fatoo biabaina in kuntum sadiqeena

"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"

أَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعٖ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ

Ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaAAin waallatheena min qablihim ahlaknahum innahum kanoo mujrimeena

What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

Wama khalaqna alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma laAAibeena

We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:

مَا خَلَقۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

Ma khalaqnahuma illa bialhaqqi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Inna yawma alfasli meeqatuhum ajmaAAeena

Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them,-

يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِي مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلٗى شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

Yawma la yughnee mawlan AAan mawlan shayan wala hum yunsaroona

The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Illa man rahima Allahu innahu huwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

Except such as receive Allah´s Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Inna shajarata alzzaqqoomi

Verily the tree of Zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِيمِ

TaAAamu alatheemi

Will be the food of the Sinful,-

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ يَغۡلِي فِي ٱلۡبُطُونِ

Kaalmuhli yaghlee fee albutooni

Like molten brass; it will boil in their insides.

كَغَلۡيِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

Kaghalyi alhameemi

Like the boiling of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Khuthoohu faiAAtiloohu ila sawai aljaheemi

(A voice will cry: "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!
