Sura 44: AD-DUKHAN (SMOKE) - Juz' 25 - Translation Pickthall

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ ﴿۳۰﴾
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom; (30)
مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿۳۱﴾
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones. (31)
وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۳۲﴾
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures. (32)
وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۳۳﴾
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial. (33)
إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ﴿۳۴﴾
Lo! these, forsooth, are saying: (34)
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَى وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِينَ ﴿۳۵﴾
There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again. (35)
فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿۳۶﴾
Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth! (36)
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۳۷﴾
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty. (37)
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ﴿۳۸﴾
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play. (38)
مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۳۹﴾
We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not. (39)
