ḥā mīm

2

A revelation from the Almighty, the Merciful,

3

A Writ the proofs whereof are set out and detailed, an Arabic recitation for people who know,

4

As a bearer of glad tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they hear not.

5

And they say: “Upon our hearts are coverings against that to which thou invitest us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and thee is a partition; then work thou — we are working.”

6

Say thou: “I am only a mortal like you. It is revealed to me that your God is One God. So take a straight path to Him, and ask forgiveness of Him!” And woe to the idolaters:

7

Those who render not the purity, and of the Hereafter they are deniers!

8

Those who heed warning and do righteous deeds: they have a reward unending.

9

Say thou: “Do you deny Him who created the earth in two days, and make equals to Him?” That is the Lord of All Creation,

10

And He made therein firm mountains above it, and blessed it, and decreed therein its diverse nourishment in four days, equal to the askers.

11

Then He directed Himself to the sky when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: “Come, willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “We come willingly.”

12

And He determined them — seven heavens in two days — and instructed each heaven in its command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps and as protection. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

13

Then if they turn away, say thou: “I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of ʿĀd and Thamūd,”

14

When the messengers had come to them from before them and from after them: “Serve not save God,” they said: “If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down angels, so we are deniers of that wherewith you have been sent.”

15

Then as for ʿĀd: they had waxed proud in the land without cause, and they said: “Who is stronger than us in power?” Had they not considered that God who created them, He was stronger than them in power? And they rejected Our proofs.

16

Then We sent upon them a howling wind in days of calamity, that We might let them taste the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world; and the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.

17

And as for Thamūd: We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of the punishment of humiliation seized them for what they earned.

18

And We delivered those who heeded warning and were in prudent fear.

19

And the day the enemies of God are gathered to the Fire — and they will be marshalled —

20

When they have reached it, their hearing and their sight and their skins will bear witness against them as to what they did.

21

And they will say to their skins: “Why bore you witness against us?” They will say: “God gave us speech, who gave all things speech. And He created you the first time, and to Him are you returned.

22

“And you hid not yourselves, lest your hearing and your sight and your skins bear witness against you; but you thought that God knew not much of what you did.

23

“And that — your thought which you thought about your Lord — has brought you to ruin; and you are now among the losers.”

24

And if they be patient, the Fire is a home for them; and if they seek to make amends, they will not be of those who might make amends.

25

And We assigned to them companions, and they made fair to them what was before them, and what following them; and upon them the word concerning the communities of domini and servi which had passed away before them became binding: — they were losers.

26

And those who ignore warning say: “Listen not to this Qur’an, and speak nonsense about it, that you might be victorious.”

27

But We will let those who ignore warning taste a severe punishment; and We will reward them for the worst of what they did.

28

That is the reward of the enemies of God: the Fire; they have therein the Abode of Eternity as reward because they rejected Our proofs.

29

And those who ignore warning will say: “Our Lord: show Thou us those who led us astray of the domini and the servi; we will place them under our feet, that they might be among the lowest!”

30

Those who say: “Our Lord is God,” and then take a straight path, the angels descend upon them: “Fear not, nor grieve; but rejoice at the Garden, which you are promised.

31

“We are your allies in the life of this world and in the Hereafter; and you have therein whatever your souls desire; and you have therein whatever you call for

32

“As a welcome from One forgiving and merciful.”

33

And who is better in word than he who invites to his Lord, and works righteousness and says: “I am of those submitting?”

34

And not equal are the good and the evil. Repel thou with that which is better, and then is he between whom and thee is enmity like a loyal friend;

35

But none is granted it save those who are patient; and none is granted it save a possessor of tremendous fortune.

36

And if there provoke thee a provocation from the satan, seek thou refuge in God; He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

37

And of His proofs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Submit not to the sun or the moon, but submit to God who created them, if it be Him you serve.

38

But if they have waxed proud, then do those who are with thy Lord give glory to Him night and day, and they grow not weary.

39

And among His proofs is that thou seest the earth laid low, but when We send down upon it the water, it quivers and swells. He who gave it life is the Quickener of the Dead; and He is over all things powerful.

40

Those who deviate from Our proofs are not hidden from Us. Is then he who is cast into the Fire better, or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will, He sees what you do.

41

Those who deny the remembrance when it has come to them[...]. And it is a mighty Writ

42

— Falsehood cannot reach it from before it or from after it — a revelation from One wise and praiseworthy.

43

Nothing is said to thee but what has been said to the messengers before thee: — “Thy Lord is possessor of forgiveness, and possessor of painful retribution,” —

44

And had We made it a recitation in a foreign tongue, they would have said: “Oh, that its proofs were but set out and detailed — a foreign tongue and an Arab!” Say thou: “It is for those who heed warning a guidance and a healing”; but those who do not believe: in their ears is deafness, and it is for them blindness; those: they are called from a far place.

45

And We gave Moses the Writ, but it was disputed about. And were it not for a word that preceded from thy Lord, it would have been concluded between them; and they are in sceptical doubt concerning it.

46

Whoso works righteousness, it is for his soul; and whoso does evil, it is against it; and thy Lord is not unjust to the servants.

47

To Him is referred knowledge of the Hour. And no fruits come forth from their sheaths and no female bears or gives birth save with His knowledge. And the day He calls them: — “Where are My partners?” — they will say: “We proclaim to Thee, there is not among us any witness.”

48

And strayed from them will be what they called to before; and they will know that they have no place of refuge.

49

Man grows not weary of calling for good; but if evil touches him, he is without hope and despairing.

50

And if We let him taste mercy after an affliction touches him, he will say: “This is mine; and I think not that the Hour will come — and if I am brought back to my Lord, mine will be the best with Him!” But We will inform those who ignore warning about what they did, and We will let them taste of a stern punishment.

51

And when We favour man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then is he full of long supplication.

52

Say thou: “Have you considered: if it is from God, then you denied it — who is further astray than one who is in extreme schism?”

53

We will show them Our proofs in the horizons, and in themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. Does it not suffice concerning thy Lord that He is witness to all things?

54

In truth, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. In truth, He encompasses all things.
