Ha Mim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful.
[41.1] Ha Mim!
[41.2] A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful God:
[41.3] A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic
Quran for a people who know:
[41.4] A herald of good news and a warner, but most of them
turn aside so they hear not.
[41.5] And they say: Our hearts are under coverings from
that to which you call us, and there is a heaviness in our
ears, and a veil hangs between us and you,
so work, we too are working.
[41.6] Say: I am only a mortal like you; it is revealed to
me that your God is one God, therefore follow the right way
to Him and ask His forgiveness; and woe
to the polytheists;
[41.7] (To) those who do not give poor-rate and they are
unbelievers in the hereafter.
[41.8] (As for) those who believe and do good, they shall
surely have a reward never to be cut off.
[41.9] Say: What! do you indeed disbelieve in Him Who
created the earth in two periods, and do you set up equals
with Him? That is the Lord of the Worlds.
[41.10] And He made in it mountains above its surface, and
He blessed therein and made therein its foods, in four
periods: alike for the seekers.
[41.11] Then He directed Himself to the heaven and it is a
vapor, so He said to it and to the earth: Come both,
willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We
come willingly.
[41.12] So He ordained them seven heavens in two periods,
and revealed in every heaven its affair; and We adorned the
lower heaven with brilliant stars and (made it) to guard;
that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing.
[41.13] But if they turn aside, then say: I have warned you
of a scourge like the scourge of Ad and Samood.
[41.14] When their apostles came to them from before them
and from behind them, saying, Serve nothing but Allah, they
said: If our Lord had pleased He would certainly have sent
down angels, so we are surely unbelievers in that with
which you are sent.
[41.15] Then as to Ad, they were unjustly proud in the
land, and they said: Who is mightier in strength than we?
Did they not see that Allah Who created them
was mightier than they in strength, and they denied Our
communications?
[41.16] So We sent on them a furious wind in unlucky days,
that We may make them taste the chastisement of abasement
in this world's life; and certainly the
chastisement of the hereafter is much more abasing, and
they shall not be helped.
[41.17] And as to Samood, We showed them the right way, but
they chose error above guidance, so there overtook them the
scourge of an abasing chastisement for what they earned.
[41.18] And We delivered those who believed and guarded
(against evil).
[41.19] And on the day that the enemies of Allah shall be
brought together to the fire, then they shall be formed
into groups.
[41.20] Until when they come to it, their ears and their
eyes and their skins shall bear witness against them as to
what they did.
[41.21] And they shall say to their skins: Why have you
borne witness against us? They shall say: Allah Who makes
everything speak has made us speak, and He
created you at first, and to Him you shall be brought back.
[41.22] And you did not veil yourselves lest your ears and
your eyes and your skins should bear witness against you,
but you thought that Allah did not know
most of what you did.
[41.23] And that was your (evil) thought which you
entertained about your Lord that has tumbled you down into
perdition, so are you become of the lost ones.
[41.24] Then if they will endure, still the fire is their
abode, and if they ask for goodwill, then are they not of
those who shall be granted goodwill.
[41.25] And We have appointed for them comrades so they
have made fair-seeming to them what is before them and what
is behind them, and the word proved true
against them-- among the nations of the jinn and the men
that have passed away before them-- that they shall surely
be losers.
[41.26] And those who disbelieve say: Do not listen to this
Quran and make noise therein, perhaps you may overcome.
[41.27] Therefore We will most certainly make those who
disbelieve taste a severe punishment, and We will most
certainly reward them for the evil deeds
they used to do.
[41.28] That is the reward of the enemies of Allah-- the
fire; for them therein shall be the house of long abiding;
a reward for their denying Our communications.
[41.29] And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! show
us those who led us astray from among the jinn and the men
that we may trample them under our feet
so that they may be of the lowest.
[41.30] (As for) those who say: Our Lord is Allah, then
continue in the right way, the angels descend upon them,
saying: Fear not, nor be grieved, and receive
good news of the garden which you were promised.
[41.31] We are your guardians in this world's life and in
the hereafter, and you shall have therein what your souls
desire and you shall have therein what you
ask for:
[41.32] A provision from the Forgiving, the Merciful.
[41.33] And who speaks better than he who calls to Allah
while he himself does good, and says: I am surely of those
who submit?
[41.34] And not alike are the good and the evil. Repel
(evil) with what is best, when lo! he between whom and you
was enmity would be as if he were a warm
friend.
[41.35] And none are made to receive it but those who are
patient, and none are made to receive it but those who have
a mighty good fortune.
[41.36] And if an interference of the Shaitan should cause
you mischief, seek refuge in Allah; surely He is the
Hearing, the Knowing.
[41.37] And among His signs are the night and the day and
the sun and the moon; do not make obeisance to the sun nor
to the moon; and make obeisance to Allah
Who created them, if Him it is that you serve.
[41.38] But if they are proud, yet those with your Lord
glorify Him during the night and the day, and they are not
tired.
[41.39] And among His signs is this, that you see the earth
still, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs and
swells: most surely He Who gives it life
is the Giver of life to the dead; surely He has power over
all things.
[41.40] Surely they who deviate from the right way
concerning Our communications are not hidden from Us. What!
is he then who is cast into the fire better, or he
who comes safe on the day of resurrection? Do what you
like, surely He sees what you do.
[41.41] Surely those who disbelieve in the reminder when it
comes to them, and most surely it is a Mighty Book:
[41.42] Falsehood shall not come to it from before it nor
from behind it; a revelation from the Wise, the Praised
One.
[41.43] Naught is said to you but what was said indeed to
the apostles before you; surely your Lord is the Lord of
forgiveness and the Lord of painful retribution.
[41.44] And if We had made it a Quran in a foreign tongue,
they would certainly have said: Why have not its
communications been made clear? What! a foreign
(tongue) and an Arabian! Say: It is to those who believe a
guidance and a healing; and (as for) those who do not
believe, there is a heaviness in their ears and it is
obscure to them; these shall be called to from a far-off
place.
[41.45] And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, but it has
been differed about, and had not a word already gone forth
from your Lord, judgment would certainly
have been given between them; and most surely they are in a
disquieting doubt about it.
[41.46] Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and
whoever does evil, it is against it; and your Lord is not
in the least unjust to the servants.
[41.47] To Him is referred the knowledge of the hour, and
there come not forth any of the fruits from their
coverings, nor does a female bear, nor does she
give birth, but with His knowledge; and on the day when He
shall call out to them, Where are (those whom you called)
My associates? They shall say: We declare to Thee, none of
us is a witness.
[41.48] And away from them shall go what they called upon
before, and they shall know for certain that there is no
escape for them.
[41.49] Man is never tired of praying for good, and if evil
touch him, then he is despairing, hopeless.
[41.50] And if We make him taste mercy from Us after
distress that has touched him, he would most certainly say:
This is of me, and I do not think the hour
will come to pass, and if I am sent back to my Lord, I
shall have with Him sure good; but We will most certainly
inform those who disbelieved of what they did,
and We will most certainly make them taste of hard
chastisement.
[41.51] And when We show favor to man, he turns aside and
withdraws himself; and when evil touches him, he makes
lengthy supplications.
[41.52] Say: Tell me if it is from Allah; then you
disbelieve in it, who is in greater error than he who is in
a prolonged opposition?
[41.53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe
and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to
them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards
your Lord that He is a witness over all things?
[41.54] Now surely they are in doubt as to the meeting of
their Lord; now surely He encompasses all things.
