Ad-Dukhan الدخان

Qahramon
About this episode

Ad-Dukhān; الدخان,  (meaning: Smoke) is the 44th chapter of the Quran with 59 verses

Verse 37 mentions the people of Tubba, interpreters explain that this refers to the people of Sheba

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the  believed revelation  it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1 Beneficent God!

2 By the Book that makes manifest!

3 We revealed it On a blessed night truly We are ever warning

4 Therein is made clear every affair full of wisdom --

5 A command from Us -- truly We are ever sending messengers --

6 A mercy from thy Lord -- truly He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

7 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure

8 There is no God but He; He gives life and causes death -- your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore

9 Nay, in doubt they sport

10 So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear drought,

11 Enveloping men. This is a painful chastisement

12 Our Lord, remove from us the chastisement -- surely we are believers

13 When will they be reminded? And a Messenger has indeed come, making clear;

14 Yet they turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman!

15 We shall remove the chastisement a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil)

16 On the day when We seize (them) with the most violent seizing surely We shall exact retribution

17 And certainly We tried before them Pharaoh's people and a noble messenger came to them,

18 Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah. Surely I am a faithful messenger to you

19 And exalt not yourselves against Allah. Surely I bring to you a clear authority

20 And I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me to death

21 And if you believe not in me, leave me alone

22 Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people

23 So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued,

24 And leave the sea behind calm. Surely they are a host to be drowned

25 How many the gardens and springs they left behind!

26 And cornfields and noble places!

27 And goodly things wherein they rejoiced!

28 Thus (it was). And We made other people inherit them

29 So the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they respited

30 And We indeed delivered the Children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,

31 From Pharaoh. Surely he was haughty, prodigal

32 And certainly We chose them above the nations, having knowledge

33 And We gave them signs wherein was clear blessing

34 These do indeed say:

35 There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again

36 So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful
