The Smoke

حمٓ١

Ḥā, Meem.

وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِٱلۡمُبِينِ٢

By the clear Book,

إِنَّآأَنزَلۡنَٰهُفِيلَيۡلَةٖمُّبَٰرَكَةٍۚإِنَّاكُنَّامُنذِرِينَ٣

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

فِيهَايُفۡرَقُكُلُّأَمۡرٍحَكِيمٍ٤

Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct every precise matter -

أَمۡرٗامِّنۡعِندِنَآۚإِنَّاكُنَّامُرۡسِلِينَ٥

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

رَحۡمَةٗمِّنرَّبِّكَۚإِنَّهُۥهُوَٱلسَّمِيعُٱلۡعَلِيمُ٦

As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

رَبِّٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلۡأَرۡضِوَمَابَيۡنَهُمَآۖإِنكُنتُممُّوقِنِينَ٧

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

لَآإِلَٰهَإِلَّاهُوَيُحۡيِۦوَيُمِيتُۖرَبُّكُمۡوَرَبُّءَابَآئِكُمُٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ٨

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

بَلۡهُمۡفِيشَكّٖيَلۡعَبُونَ٩

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

فَٱرۡتَقِبۡيَوۡمَتَأۡتِيٱلسَّمَآءُبِدُخَانٖمُّبِينٖ١٠

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