Smoke, The Evident Smoke — Dr Kamal Omar Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Lighter Punishment followed by Severer

وَٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِینِ ۝٢

Wal-Kitab-il-Mobin (‘The Manifestly Clear Book’ becomes a witness)

wal-kitābi l-mubīn

إِنَّاۤ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِی لَیۡلَةࣲ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِینَ ۝٣

Surely We, We made it to descend during a blessed night. Verily We, We had been acting as the Warners

innā anzalnāhu fī laylatin mubārakatin innā kunnā mundhirīn

فِیهَا یُفۡرَقُ كُلُّ أَمۡرٍ حَكِیمٍ ۝٤

During that (night) is made differentiated all of the order based on wisdom

fīhā yuf'raqu kullu amrin ḥakīmi

أَمۡرࣰا مِّنۡ عِندِنَاۤۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِینَ ۝٥

(The) order (proceeding) from Us; We had been acting as those Who send (Messengers)

amran min ʿindinā innā kunnā mur'silīn

رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝٦

as a mercy proceeding from your Nourisher-Sustainer. Verily He: He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower

raḥmatan min rabbika innahu huwa l-samīʿu l-ʿalīm

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِینَ ۝٧

Nourisher-Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between those two, if you had been those who have developed certainty in Faith

rabbi l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā in kuntum mūqinīn

لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ یُحۡیِۦ وَیُمِیتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَاۤىِٕكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ ۝٨

La ilaha illa Huwa (No god except He). He gives life and He causes death, — Nourisher-Sustainer to you, and Nourisher-Sustainer of your initial fore-fathers

lā ilāha illā huwa yuḥ'yī wayumītu rabbukum warabbu ābāikumu l-awalīn

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِی شَكࣲّ یَلۡعَبُونَ ۝٩

Nay! They, remaining in doubt and suspicion, indulge in sport and play

bal hum fī shakkin yalʿabūn

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ یَوۡمَ تَأۡتِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ بِدُخَانࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ۝١٠

Then wait for the Day the sky comes (closer) with a clearly, well defined smoke

fa-ir'taqib yawma tatī l-samāu bidukhānin mubīni

یَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ۝١١

(The smoke) covers mankind, this is a painful torment

yaghshā l-nāsa hādhā ʿadhābun alīmu

رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝١٢

(The disbelievers are awakened from their slumber and being in extreme fear, cry out): “Our Nourisher-Sustainer! Remove and fold over the torment from us, truly we (are) Believers.”

rabbanā ik'shif ʿannā l-ʿadhāba innā mu'minūn

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝١٣

How (could) the admonition (become beneficial) for them (at this stage)? And surely the Messenger did come to them — being one who was manifestly evident

annā lahumu l-dhik'rā waqad jāahum rasūlun mubīnu

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡا۟ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمࣱ مَّجۡنُونٌ ۝١٤

Then they turned away from him and said: “A tutored fanatic!”

thumma tawallaw ʿanhu waqālū muʿallamun majnūnu

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابِ قَلِیلًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ عَاۤىِٕدُونَ ۝١٥

If We are about to remove the punishment a little, you are surely those who repeat (the sins)

innā kāshifū l-ʿadhābi qalīlan innakum ʿāidūn

یَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰۤ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ۝١٦

The Day We seize (mankind in) the Great Seizure, then surely We (act) as those who take retribution

yawma nabṭishu l-baṭshata l-kub'rā innā muntaqimūn

۞ وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَاۤءَهُمۡ رَسُولࣱ كَرِیمٌ ۝١٧

And surely, indeed We put to test (the) nation of Firaun before them; and (there) came to them a noble Messenger

walaqad fatannā qablahum qawma fir'ʿawna wajāahum rasūlun karīmu

أَنۡ أَدُّوۤا۟ إِلَیَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّی لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِینࣱ ۝١٨

(saying) that: “Return to me Ibad of Allah. Surely I am unto you a trustworthy Messenger

an addū ilayya ʿibāda l-lahi innī lakum rasūlun amīnu

وَأَن لَّا تَعۡلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّیۤ ءَاتِیكُم بِسُلۡطَـٰنࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ۝١٩

and that, feel not high over Allah. Surely, I come to you with Sultanim Mobin (‘Evident Power’)

wa-an lā taʿlū ʿalā l-lahi innī ātīkum bisul'ṭānin mubīni

وَإِنِّی عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّی وَرَبِّكُمۡ أَن تَرۡجُمُونِ ۝٢٠

And truly I have sought refuge with my Nourisher-Sustainer and your Nourisher-Sustainer, lest you extern me

wa-innī ʿudh'tu birabbī warabbikum an tarjumūn

وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوا۟ لِی فَٱعۡتَزِلُونِ ۝٢١

And if you developed not Faith because of me, then leave me untouched.”

wa-in lam tu'minū lī fa-iʿ'tazilūn

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوۡمࣱ مُّجۡرِمُونَ ۝٢٢

So (Musa) called upon his Nourisher-Sustainer that: “These (people) are a nation of criminals.”

fadaʿā rabbahu anna hāulāi qawmun muj'rimūn

فَأَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِی لَیۡلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٢٣

(Allah said): “Then depart with My Ibad during the night. Surely, you would be pursued people

fa-asri biʿibādī laylan innakum muttabaʿūn

وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندࣱ مُّغۡرَقُونَ ۝٢٤

And cross the sea (while it is) motionless. Verily, they are the forces who stand drowned. ”

wa-ut'ruki l-baḥra rahwan innahum jundun mugh'raqūn

كَمۡ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ ۝٢٥

How many of the gardens and springs they abandoned

kam tarakū min jannātin waʿuyūni

وَزُرُوعࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ ۝٢٦

and corn-fields and the noble site

wazurūʿin wamaqāmin karīmi

وَنَعۡمَةࣲ كَانُوا۟ فِیهَا فَـٰكِهِینَ ۝٢٧

and the grace, they used to be therein as those who enjoy and take delight

wanaʿmatin kānū fīhā fākihīn

كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِینَ ۝٢٨

Thus (it all happened). And We made another people inherit them

kadhālika wa-awrathnāhā qawman ākharīn

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِینَ ۝٢٩

So the heaven and the earth shed no tears for them, and they did not become those who are given respite

famā bakat ʿalayhimu l-samāu wal-arḍu wamā kānū munẓarīn

2 Good and Evil Rewarded

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّیۡنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِینِ ۝٣٠

And surely indeed, We rescued Bani Israiel from a humiliating torment

walaqad najjaynā banī is'rāīla mina l-ʿadhābi l-muhīn

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِیࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ ۝٣١

(i.e., ) from Firaun. Surely he was haughty among those who break the limits

min fir'ʿawna innahu kāna ʿāliyan mina l-mus'rifīn

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَـٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٣٢

And surely indeed, We chose those (Bani Israiel) because of knowledge (they possessed), over the worlds

walaqadi ikh'tarnāhum ʿalā ʿil'min ʿalā l-ʿālamīn

وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ مَا فِیهِ بَلَـٰۤؤࣱا۟ مُّبِینٌ ۝٣٣

And We brought before them some of the Signs of that wherein (was evident) a plain trial

waātaynāhum mina l-āyāti mā fīhi balāon mubīnu

إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَیَقُولُونَ ۝٣٤

Verily, these people will surely say

inna hāulāi layaqūlūn

إِنۡ هِیَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِینَ ۝٣٥

“It is not but our first death, and we shall not be those who stand revived (into another life)

in hiya illā mawtatunā l-ūlā wamā naḥnu bimunsharīn

فَأۡتُوا۟ بِءَابَاۤىِٕنَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝٣٦

So approach (us) with our fore-fathers, if you are those who speak the truth!”

fatū biābāinā in kuntum ṣādiqīn

أَهُمۡ خَیۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعࣲ وَٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ مُجۡرِمِینَ ۝٣٧

Are they better or the nation of Tubba and the people before these? We destroyed them. Surely, they were criminals

ahum khayrun am qawmu tubbaʿin wa-alladhīna min qablihim ahlaknāhum innahum kānū muj'rimīn

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِینَ ۝٣٨

And We have not created the heavens and the earth and whatever (is) between those two — (behaving as) those who indulge in sport and play

wamā khalaqnā l-samāwāti wal-arḍa wamā baynahumā lāʿibīn

مَا خَلَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۤ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٣٩

We did not create those two but with a definite purpose, but the majority of those people do not know (that the worldly life-span is for striving, test and reward, while the Hereafter is exclusively for accountability and a permanent reward)

mā khalaqnāhumā illā bil-ḥaqi walākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūn

إِنَّ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِیقَـٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝٤٠

Verily, the Day of Judgement is the Miqat (the appointed time) for them altogether

inna yawma l-faṣli mīqātuhum ajmaʿīn

یَوۡمَ لَا یُغۡنِی مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلࣰى شَیۡءࣰا وَلَا هُمۡ یُنصَرُونَ ۝٤١

The Day when maulan (a friend or a near relative) shall not avail anything for maulan; and nor they will be helped

yawma lā yugh'nī mawlan ʿan mawlan shayan walā hum yunṣarūn

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝٤٢

except that on whom Allah had Mercy. Verily He, He is the All-Mighty, the continuously Merciful

illā man raḥima l-lahu innahu huwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīm

3 Good and Evil Rewarded

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٤٣

Surely, the tree of Zaqqum

inna shajarata l-zaqūm

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِیمِ ۝٤٤

will be the food of the sinners

ṭaʿāmu l-athīm

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ یَغۡلِی فِی ٱلۡبُطُونِ ۝٤٥

acting as hot, thick oil which shall boil in the bellies

kal-muh'li yaghlī fī l-buṭūn

كَغَلۡیِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ ۝٤٦

like the boiling of a heated water

kaghalyi l-ḥamīm

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَاۤءِ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝٤٧

(The angels shall receive the orders): “Seize him, then drag him into the midst of blazing Fire

khudhūhu fa-iʿ'tilūhu ilā sawāi l-jaḥīm

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِیمِ ۝٤٨

Then pour over his head from the torment of heated water.”

thumma ṣubbū fawqa rasihi min ʿadhābi l-ḥamīm

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡكَرِیمُ ۝٤٩

(The sinner will be told): “Taste (it)! Surely you (pretended that) you (were) very powerful, very generous

dhuq innaka anta l-ʿazīzu l-karīm

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ ۝٥٠

Certainly, this is what you used to doubt thereof.”

inna hādhā mā kuntum bihi tamtarūn

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ فِی مَقَامٍ أَمِینࣲ ۝٥١

Certainly, the Muttaqun will be in a trustworthy site

inna l-mutaqīna fī maqāmin amīni

فِی جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ ۝٥٢

inside orchards and springs

fī jannātin waʿuyūni

یَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسࣲ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقࣲ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِینَ ۝٥٣

they will put on dresses made of fine silk and heavy brocade, (they will recline on couches) facing each other

yalbasūna min sundusin wa-is'tabraqin mutaqābilīn

كَذَ ٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِینࣲ ۝٥٤

Like this (they will pass their life), and We provided them company of Hur (wonderful members of a new creation, with very fair skin, and raven-black cornea on a snow-white sclera) Eein (possessing beautiful wide eyes)

kadhālika wazawwajnāhum biḥūrin ʿīni

یَدۡعُونَ فِیهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِینَ ۝٥٥

They will call therein for every fruit, feeling peaceful and secure

yadʿūna fīhā bikulli fākihatin āminīn

لَا یَذُوقُونَ فِیهَا ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوۡتَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمۡ عَذَابَ ٱلۡجَحِیمِ ۝٥٦

They will not taste the death therein, except the earlier, initial death (which they experienced at the completion of their worldly life-span). And (Allah) saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire —

lā yadhūqūna fīhā l-mawta illā l-mawtata l-ūlā wawaqāhum ʿadhāba l-jaḥīm

فَضۡلࣰا مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِیمُ ۝٥٧

as a Grace from your Nourisher-Sustainer. That: that (becomes) the supreme achievement

faḍlan min rabbika dhālika huwa l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīm

فَإِنَّمَا یَسَّرۡنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَتَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٥٨

So, truly, what (is a fact is that) We have made it most easy in your (mother) tongue in order that they may remind (their own selves and remind others)

fa-innamā yassarnāhu bilisānika laʿallahum yatadhakkarūn

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡ إِنَّهُم مُّرۡتَقِبُونَ ۝٥٩

So wait, surely they too are those who wait (for their final fate)
