1. حمٓ

2. وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

3. إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ

4. فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

5. أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ

6. رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

7. رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ

8. لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

9. بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ

10. فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

11. يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

12. رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ

13. أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

14. ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ

15. إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

16. يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

17. ۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ

18. أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ

19. وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ

20. وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

21. وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

22. فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ

23. فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

24. وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ

25. كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

26. وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

27. وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ

28. كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

29. فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ

30. وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

31. مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

32. وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

33. وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ

34. إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

35. إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

36. فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

37. أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

38. وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

39. مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

40. إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

41. يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

42. إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

43. إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

44. طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ

45. كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

46. كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

47. خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

48. ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

49. ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ

50. إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ

51. إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ

52. فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

53. يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

54. كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ

55. يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ

56. لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

57. فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

58. فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ

59. فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

Context of Revelation

The chapter Ad-Dukhan (“The Smoke”) is a Meccan surah consisting of 59 verses. It takes its name from verse 10, which mentions a visible smoke (dukhān) sent as a sign of divine punishment to those who denied the truth. Revealed during a time of intense opposition in Mecca, it addresses the arrogance and disbelief of the Quraysh, reminding them of God’s signs, the reality of the Hereafter, and the majesty of the Qur’an revealed on the Blessed Night.

This surah serves both as a warning to the disbelievers and as a reassurance to the Prophet ﷺ, affirming that divine revelation stands above human mockery and that ultimate justice belongs to God.

Main Teachings and Key Insights

Ad-Dukhan highlights the truth of revelation, the Day of Judgment, and the manifestations of divine wrath. It exposes human fragility before the power of God and urges reflection and repentance. Its key lessons include:

  • The Qur’an’s revelation on a Blessed Night — identified with Laylat al-Qadr — when divine decrees are established (vv. 2–6).
  • The “smoke” as a sign of punishment, referring to a famine that afflicted Mecca as a warning to the Quraysh (vv. 10–16).
  • The story of Pharaoh and Moses: a timeless reminder of arrogance and injustice punished by God (vv. 17–31).
  • The separation of the righteous and the wicked: the faithful dwell in peace, while the deniers face eternal torment (vv. 51–57).
  • Divine sovereignty and justice: God controls destiny and will gather all creation for judgment (vv. 36–42).

This surah carries a dual tone of warning and consolation: it cautions those who reject faith while comforting the Prophet with assurance of the truth and authority of the revelation.

Structure and Main Themes

  • Introduction (vv. 1–9): the Qur’an revealed on the Blessed Night as a guide and mercy.
  • The sign of the smoke (vv. 10–16): a divine warning to the Quraysh for their disbelief.
  • The story of Moses and Pharaoh (vv. 17–33): punishment of the arrogant and rescue of the believers.
  • Reflection on creation and destiny (vv. 34–42): affirmation of God’s supreme authority.
  • The fate of the believers and disbelievers (vv. 43–57): vivid contrast between Hell’s torment and Paradise’s bliss.
  • Conclusion (vv. 58–59): the Qur’an as a clear message and final reminder to humanity.

The tone of Ad-Dukhan is majestic and prophetic: it intertwines divine warning, cosmic signs, and the promise of mercy for the faithful.

Key Verse

The central verse is verse 10:

فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

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

Why this verse is key:

  • It symbolizes the divine punishment sent to warn the deniers — interpreted as a famine that struck Mecca.
  • It represents the visible signs of God’s power and His mercy in giving time for repentance.
  • It defines the surah itself, connecting its name and message to the reality of divine justice.

In summary, Ad-Dukhan calls believers to recognize the greatness of revelation, the certainty of the Last Judgment, and the need for sincere faith. It warns against arrogance and denial while promising divine peace and mercy to those who believe and remain steadfast.
