We revealed it on a blessed night
44:1-9
1
Ha. Mim.
2
By the Scripture that maketh plain
3
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -
4
Whereon every wise command is made clear
5
As a command from Our presence - Lo! We are ever sending -
6
A mercy from thy Lord. Lo! He, even He is the Hearer, the Knower,
7
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.
8
There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.
9
Nay, but they play in doubt.
Ha. Mim.
This is scripture made plain.
We [Allah] revealed it on a blessed night.
10
But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke
Watch (Muhammad) for the day when there's smoke in the sky.
11
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.
It will envelope the people, and will be a painful torment.
12
(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are
believers.
They will say,
Oh Lord, stop tormenting us.
13
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had
already come unto them,
14
And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others),
a madman?
But they rejected the messenger, saying,
He's a madman.
15
Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).
If we decrease the torture a little, you'll return to disbelief.
16
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in
truth We shall punish.
We'll punish them with an even greater torment.
Give me the slaves of Allah
17
And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,
18
Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.
19
And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.
20
And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.
21
And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go
We sent a noble messenger to Pharaoh's folk, who said,
Give me the slaves of Allah.
I have a clear warrant.
I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord.
So please don't stone me.
If you don't believe me, just let me go.
22
And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.
23
Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,
24
And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.
25
How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,
26
And the cornlands and the goodly sites
27
And pleasant things wherein they took delight!
28
Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;
29
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
And he cried to his Lord, saying,
These folks are guilty.
His Lord said,
Take my slaves at night.
You will be followed.
Walk across the sea.
I'll drown those that try to follow you.
30
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;
31
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.
And we delivered the Israelites from the Pharaoh and the shameful doom.
32
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.
33
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.
They were our favorite creatures.
