Sura 44 The Smoke (Al-Dukhaan)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[44:1] Hha. M.

[44:2] and the clear Book.

[44:3] We brought it down in a blessed night. We have indeed warned.

[44:4] In it, every wise command is made distinct.

[44:5] A command from Us that We are sending out;

[44:6] a mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.

[44:7] He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if only you had certainty.

[44:8] There is no other god except Him. He brings to life and puts to death; your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.

[44:9] Yet they play around in doubt.

[44:10] So watch out for a day when the sky brings forth a distinctive smoke

[44:11] that covers the people; this is a painful punishment.

[44:12] "Our Lord, remove the punishment from us; we are believers."

[44:13] How can there be a reminder for them when a clear messenger had already come to them,

[44:14] then they turned away from him and said, "An educated madman"?

[44:15] Indeed, We will lift the punishment a little. Indeed, you will revert.

[44:16] The Day We strike the great strike; We will surely inflict retribution.

[44:17] We have tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and a noble messenger came to them:

[44:18] "Deliver to me the servants of God. I am a trustworthy messenger to you.
