Ad-Dukhan

Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."

How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.

Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief].

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger [i.e., Moses],

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allāh. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allāh. Indeed, I have come to you with clear evidence.

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
