In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- Ha Mim.
- By the Book that makes things clear
- We sent it down during a blessed night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
- In that (night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom
- By command from Our presence. For We (ever) send (revelations)
- As a Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
- The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them if ye (but) have an assured faith.
- There is no god but He: it is He Who gives life and gives death the Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
- Yet they play about in doubt.
- Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible.
- Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
- (They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us for We do really believe!"
- How shall the Message be (effectual) for them seeing that an Apostle explaining things clearly has (already) come to them
- Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others) a man possessed!"
- We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
- One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
- We did before them try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them and apostle most honorable
- Saying: "Restore to me the servants of Allah: I am to you an apostle worthy of all trust;
- "And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.
- "For me I have sought Safety with my Lord and your Lord against your injuring me.
- "If ye believe me not at least keep yourselves away from me."
- (But they were aggressive): then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
- (The reply came): "March forth with My servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
- "And leave the sea as a furrow (divided). For they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
- How many were the gardens and springs they left behind.
