بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ حم

Ha, Meem.

وَالكِتابِ المُبينِ

By the clear Book,

إِنّا أَنزَلناهُ في لَيلَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنّا كُنّا مُنذِرينَ

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

فيها يُفرَقُ كُلُّ أَمرٍ حَكيمٍ

On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

أَمرًا مِن عِندِنا ۚ إِنّا كُنّا مُرسِلينَ

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

رَبِّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ إِن كُنتُم موقِنينَ

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.

لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ يُحيي وَيُميتُ ۖ رَبُّكُم وَرَبُّ آبائِكُمُ الأَوَّلينَ

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

بَل هُم في شَكٍّ يَلعَبونَ

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

فَارتَقِب يَومَ تَأتِي السَّماءُ بِدُخانٍ مُبينٍ

Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.

يَغشَى النّاسَ ۖ هـٰذا عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.
