44. Smoke (Ad-Dukhán)

Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 59 verses.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

1. Há Mím.

2. By the Book that makes things clear;-

3. We sent it down during a blessed night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).

4. In that (night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,

5. By command, from Us. For We (ever) send (revelations),

6. As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);

7. The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.

8. 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.

9. Yet they play about in doubt.

10. Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,

11. Enveloping the people: this will be a Chastisement Grievous.
