In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
- Ha, Meem.
- The revelation of the Book is from Allah,
the Exalted in Might, the Wise. - In the heavens and the earth are proofs for
the believers. - And in your own creation, and in the creatures He scattered, are signs for people of
firm faith. - And in the alternation of night and day, and
in the sustenance Allah sends down from the
sky, with which He revives the earth after its
death, and in the circulation of the winds, are
marvels for people who reason. - These are Allah’s Verses which We recite to
you in truth. In which message, after Allah
and His revelations, will they believe? - Woe to every sinful liar.
- Who hears Allah’s revelations being recited
to him, yet he persists arrogantly, as though
he did not hear them. Announce to him a
painful punishment. - And when he learns something of Our revelations, he takes them in mockery. For such
there is a shameful punishment. - Beyond them lies Hell. What they have
earned will not benefit them at all, nor will
those they adopted as lords instead of Allah.
They will have a terrible punishment. - This is guidance. Those who blaspheme
their Lord’s revelations will have a punishment of agonizing pain. - It is Allah who placed the sea at your service, so that ships may run through it by His
command, and that you may seek of His
bounty, and that you may give thanks. - And He placed at your service whatever is
in the heavens and whatever is on earth—all
is from Him. In that are signs for a people
who think. - Tell those who believe to forgive those who
do not hope for the Days of Allah. He will fully recompense people for whatever they have earned. - Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul;
and whoever commits evil, it is against it;
then to your Lord you will be returned. - We gave the Children of Israel the Book,
and wisdom, and prophecy; and We provided them with the good things; and We
gave them advantage over all other people. - And We gave them precise rulings. They
fell into dispute only after knowledge came to
them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will
judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the things they differed about. - Then We set you upon a pathway of faith,
so follow it, and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know. - They will not help you against Allah in any
way. The wrongdoers are allies of one another, while Allah is the Protector of the
righteous. - This is an illumination for mankind, and
guidance, and mercy for people who believe
with certainty. - Do those who perpetrate the evil deeds assume that We will regard them as equal to
those who believe and do righteous deeds,
whether in their life or their death? Evil is
their judgment! - Allah created the heavens and the earth
with justice, so that every soul will be repaid
for what it has earned. And they will not be
wronged. - Have you considered him who has taken
his desire for his god? Allah has knowingly
led him astray, and has sealed his hearing and
his heart, and has placed a veil over his vision.
Who will guide him after Allah? Will you not
reflect? - And they say, “There is nothing but this
our present life; we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except time.” But they have no
knowledge of that; they are only guessing. - When Our clarifying Verses are recited to
them, their only argument is to say, “Bring
back our ancestors, if you are truthful.” - Say, “Allah gives you life, then He makes
you die; then He gathers you for the Day of
Resurrection, about which there is no doubt.
But most people do not know.” - To Allah belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth. On the Day when the Hour
takes place, on that Day the falsifiers will lose. - You will see every community on its knees;
every community will be called to its Book:
“Today you are being repaid for what you
used to do. - This Book of Ours speaks about you in
truth. We have been transcribing what you
have been doing.” - As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into
His mercy. That is the clear triumph. - But as for those who disbelieved: “Were My
revelations not recited to you? But you
turned arrogant, and were guilty people.” - And when it was said, “The promise of Allah is true, and of the Hour there is no doubt,”
you said, “We do not know what the Hour is;
we think it is only speculation; we are not
convinced.” - The evils of what they did will become evident to them, and the very thing they ridiculed will haunt them.
- And it will be said, “Today We forget you,
as you forgot the encounter of this Day of
yours. Your abode is the Fire, and there are
no saviors for you. - That is because you took Allah’s revelations for a joke, and the worldly life lured
you.” So today they will not be brought out of
it, and they will not be allowed to repent. - Praise belongs to Allah; Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of humanity.
- To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth. He is the Majestic, the
Wise.
