| 1. | ![]() [44:1] H. M. |
| 2. | ![]() [44:2] And this enlightening scripture. |
| 3. | ![]() [44:3] We have sent it down in a blessed night, for we are to warn. |
| 4. | ![]() [44:4] In it (the scripture), every matter of wisdom is clarified. |
| 5. | ![]() [44:5] It is a predetermined command from us that we send messengers. |
| 6. | ![]() [44:6] This is a mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. |
| 7. | ![]() [44:7] Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If only you could be certain! *44:10 Only two signs are yet to be fulfilled, this smoke and Gog and Magog (Appendix 25). |
| 8. | ![]() [44:8] There is no other god beside Him. He controls life and death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors. |
| 9. | ![]() [44:9] Indeed, they are doubtful, heedless. |
| 10. | ![]() [44:10] Therefore, watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke. |
| 11. | ![]() [44:11] It will envelope the people; this is a painful retribution. |
| 12. | ![]() [44:12] "Our Lord, relieve this retribution for us; we are believers." |
| 13. | ![]() [44:13] Now that it is too late, they remember! An enlightening messenger had come to them. *44:13 The sum of sura and verse numbers (44+13) is 57, 19x3, and this Quranic code was proclaimed by God's Messenger of the Covenant (Appendices 1, 2 , & 26). |
| 14. | ![]() [44:14] But they turned away from him, saying, "Well educated, but crazy!" |
| 15. | ![]() [44:15] We will relieve the retribution for awhile; you will soon revert. |
| 16. | ![]() [44:16] The day we strike the big stroke, we will avenge. |
| 17. | ![]() [44:17] We have tested before them the people of Pharaoh; an honorable messenger went to them. |
| 18. | ![]() [44:18] Proclaiming: "Listen to me, servants of GOD. I am an honest messenger to you." |
| 19. | ![]() [44:19] And, "Do not transgress against GOD. I bring to you powerful proofs. |
| 20. | ![]() [44:20] "I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord, if you oppose me. |
| 21. | ![]() [44:21] "If you do not wish to believe, then simply leave me alone." |
| 22. | ![]() [44:22] Subsequently, he implored his Lord: "These are wicked people." |
| 23. | ![]() [44:23] (God said,) "Travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued. |
| 24. | ![]() [44:24] "Cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned." |
| 25. | ![]() [44:25] Thus, they left behind many gardens and springs. |
| 26. | ![]() [44:26] Crops and a luxurious life. |
| 27. | ![]() [44:27] Blessings that they enjoyed. |
| 28. | ![]() [44:28] All these we caused to be inherited by other people. |
| 29. | ![]() [44:29] Neither the heaven, nor the earth wept over them, and they were not respited. |
| 30. | ![]() [44:30] Meanwhile, we saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating persecution. |
| 31. | ![]() [44:31] From Pharaoh; he was a tyrant. |
| 32. | ![]() [44:32] We have chosen them from among all the people, knowingly. |
| 33. | ![]() [44:33] We showed them so many proofs, which constituted a great test. |
| 34. | ![]() [44:34] The present generations say, |
| 35. | ![]() [44:35] "We only die the first death; we will never be resurrected! |
| 36. | ![]() [44:36] "Bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful." |
| 37. | ![]() [44:37] Are they better than the people of Tubba` and others before them? We annihilated them for their crimes. |
| 38. | ![]() [44:38] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, just to play. |
| 39. | ![]() [44:39] We created them for a specific purpose, but most of them do not know. |
| 40. | ![]() [44:40] The Day of Decision awaits them all. |
| 41. | ![]() [44:41] That is the day when no friend can help his friend in any way; no one can be helped. |
| 42. | ![]() [44:42] Only those who attain mercy from GOD. He is the Almighty, Most Merciful. |
| 43. | ![]() [44:43] Surely, the tree of bitterness - |
| 44. | ![]() [44:44] will provide the food for the sinful. |
| 45. | ![]() [44:45] Like lye, it will boil in the stomachs. |
| 46. | ![]() [44:46] Like the boiling of hellish drinks. |
| 47. | ![]() [44:47] Take him and throw him into the center of Hell. |
| 48. | ![]() [44:48] Then pour upon his head the retribution of the Inferno. |
| 49. | ![]() [44:49] "Taste this; you were so powerful, so honorable." |
| 50. | ![]() [44:50] This is what you used to doubt. |
| 51. | ![]() [44:51] The righteous will be in a secure position. |
| 52. | ![]() [44:52] Enjoying gardens and springs. |
| 53. | ![]() [44:53] Wearing velvet and satin; close to each other. |
| 54. | ![]() [44:54] We grant them wonderful spouses. |
| 55. | ![]() [44:55] They enjoy in it all kinds of fruits, in perfect peace. |
| 56. | ![]() [44:56] They do not taste death therein - beyond the first death - and He has spared them the retribution of Hell. *44:56 As detailed in Appendix 17, the righteous do not really die; they move on directly to the same Paradise where Adam and Eve once lived. Compare this statement with the disbelievers' statement in 40:11. |
| 57. | ![]() [44:57] Such is the blessing from your Lord. Such is the great triumph. |
| 58. | ![]() [44:58] We have thus clarified it in your language, that they may take heed. |
| 59. | ![]() [44:59] Therefore, wait; they too will have to wait. |
