Ha, Mim (These are the names of letters of the Arabic alphabet, and only Allah knows their meaning here).
2
And (by) the evident Book.
3
Surely We have sent it down in a blessed night; surely We have been warning.
4
Therein every Wise Command is distinctly (decreed),
5
(As) a Command from Our providence; surely We have (ever) been sending (Messengers).
6
As a mercy from your Lord; surely He, Ever He, is The Ever-Hearing, The Ever-Knowing.
7
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them both, in case you are (believers) with certitude.
8
There is no god except He; He gives life and He makes to die; (He is) your Lord and The Lord of your earliest fathers.
9
No indeed, (but) they are in doubt, playing.
10
So be on the watch for a Day when the heaven will come up with an evident smoke,
11
That will envelop mankind; this is a painful torment.
12
Our Lord, lift off from us the torment; surely, we are believers.
13
However could they have the Reminding, and an evident Messenger has already come to them,
14
(Yet) thereafter they turned away from him and said, "A man taught (by others), a madman!"
15
Surely We are lifting off the torment a little; surely you will be going back (to disbelief).
16
Upon the Day when We will assault you with the greatest assault; surely We will be Avengers.
17
And indeed already before them We tempted the people of Firaawn, (Pharaoh) and an honorable Messenger came to them. (Saying), "Discharge (Literally: give back to me) to me the bondmen of Allah; surely I am for you a trustworthy Messenger."
18
And, "Do not exalt yourselves against Allah; surely I am bringing you an evident, all-binding authority;
19
And surely I take refuge in my Lord and your Lord that you should (not) stone me.
20
And in case you do not believe me, then keep apart from me!"
21
So he invoked his Lord, (saying)
22
These are a criminal people.
23
Then set forth with My bondmen by night, surely you will be closely followed.
24
And leave the sea becalmed; (Or: furrowed) surely they are a drowned host."
25
They left how many gardens and springs,
26
And plantations and how honorable a station,
27
And what comfort they used to (enjoy) cheerfully!
28
Thus (it was); and We made another people to inherit (these favors).
29
So, in no way did the heaven and the earth weep for them, and in no way were they respited.
30
And indeed We already safely delivered the Seeds (Or: sons) of Israel) from degrading torment.
