Surat Ad-Dukhan (Arabic: سورة الدخان ) (Smoke) is the 44th sura of the Qur'an with 59 ayat.
Summary
This Surat begins by glorifying Allah's power. It contains a prophetic description of a day, described as occurring before the Day of Judgment, in which the sky fills with a great smoke. The smoke is prophesied to cause enough chaos that people will cry out to Allah for reprieve. It also states that Allah destroys disbelieving nations, as he did to the ancient Egyptians. Verses 43-46 describe Jahannam. In verses 51-57, Allah describes Jannah and promises Houris to men who lived in piety.
