2
By the Book that makes things clear,
3
surely We sent it down on a blessed nightWe have always sent warnings
4
on that night every wise decree is specified
5
by Our own commandWe have been sending messages,
6
as a mercy from your Lord, He hears all and knows all,
7
He is the Lord of heaven and earth and all that is between themif only you would really believe
8
there is no deity save Him: It is He who gives both life and deathHe is your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers,
9
yet, they toy with their doubts.
10
(Prophet), watch out for the Day when the sky brings forth plainly visible clouds of smoke.
11
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful punishment.
12
Then they will say, 'Lord, relieve us from this torment, for truly we are now believers in You.'
13
How can they benefit from admonition, seeing that a messenger had already come to them explaining things clearly?
14
Then they turned away from him and said, 'He is a madman, taught by others!'
15
Were We to ease the torment for a while, you would still revert to denial of the truth.
16
On the Day We inflict the direst scourge upon all sinners, We will certainly exact retribution.
17
We tried the people of Pharaoh before them: a noble messenger was sent to them,
18
saying, 'Hand over God's servants to me. I am a trustworthy messenger for you.
19
Do not set yourselves above God: I bring you clear authority.
20
I have sought refuge with my Lord and your Lord lest you stone me (to death).
21
If you do not believe in me, at least keep away from me.'
22
Then he cried out to his Lord, 'These are sinful people.'
23
God said, 'Set out with My servants by night, for you will certainly be pursued.
24
Leave the sea behind you parted; they are a host destined to be drowned.'
25
How many gardens and fountains they left behind them,
26
and cornfields and splendid buildings,
27
and pleasant things in which they delighted!
28
Such was their end, and what had been theirs We gave to other people to inherit.
29
Neither heaven nor earth wept for them, nor were they allowed any respite.
30
We saved the Children of Israel from their humiliating torment
