Haa. Meem. 1 |
|
تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ |
|
2- |
The Revelation of this Book (the Quran) is from God, the Almighty, the All Wise. |
|
مَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَمَّا أُنذِرُوا مُعْرِضُونَ |
|
3- |
We haven’t created the heavens and the earth
and all that is in between them except for the explanation of the truth and for a limited predetermined term. But those who disbelieve in truth, turn away from the very instructions and warnings which they are given. |
|
قُلْ
أَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَرُونِي مَاذَا
خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ
اِئْتُونِي بِكِتَابٍ |
|
4- |
(O Muhammad) Say: “Have you ever
observed all that you call and pray to, other than God? Show me anything that they have created of all the things on earth. Or do they have any share in the creation of the heavens? Bring me any Scripture before this one or any source or trace of evidence of knowledge (to support your claim) if you are being truthful”. |
|
وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لَّا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ إِلَى يَومِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَائِهِمْ غَافِلُونَ |
|
5- |
And who is more astray and deluded than a
person who calls and prays to anyone or anything which does not respond to him, even to the Resurrection Day and they are totally unaware of their calls and prayers. |
|
وَإِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُوا لَهُمْ أَعْدَاء وَكَانُوا بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَافِرِينَ |
|
6- |
And when all mankind are gathered (on the
Resurrection Day), they (those to whom they pray and call) will become their enemies and reject their worshipping them. |
|
وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءهُمْ هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
7- |
Moreover when Our Clearly Explaining
Messages are read and recited to them, those who rejected the truth (the Quran) when it reached them, said: “This is an obvious magic”. |
|
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَلَا تَمْلِكُونَ لِي مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ كَفَى بِهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ |
|
8- |
Or they say: “He (Muhammad) made it up”.
Say: “If I made it up, then you have nothing to defend me against God’s Punishment. He is Most Aware of what you (slander and) talk to each other about it. He is Enough of a Witness between me and you. And He is Very Forgiving, Most Merciful (to the good ones)”. |
|
قُلْ مَا كُنتُ بِدْعًا مِّنْ الرُّسُلِ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِكُمْ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَى إِلَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ |
|
9- |
Say: “I am not a new kind among the
Messengers (of God), nor do I know what will be done to me or to you. I only follow what has been revealed to me and I am only a clarifying warner ”. |
|
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ وَكَفَرْتُم بِهِ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ |
|
10- |
Say: “Have you ever considered if it (the
Quran) is from God and you rejected it, yet a witness from among the Children of Israel testified for the same, then he came to believe in (the Quran), but you arrogantly rejected it?” Of course God does not guide unjust wrong-doers. |
|
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَوْ كَانَ خَيْرًا مَّا سَبَقُونَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا بِهِ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَذَا إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ |
|
11- |
The disbelievers also told the believers:
“If it (Islam and Quran) were any good, they (the weak and the poor) would not have preceded us (in believing) in it”. Yet, since they are not guided by it, they will say: "This [the Quran] is an old lie". |
|
وَمِن قَبْلِهِ كِتَابُ مُوسَى إِمَامًا وَرَحْمَةً وَهَذَا كِتَابٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّسَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّيُنذِرَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُحْسِنِينَ |
|
12- |
Whereas before this, was the Book of Moses
(the Torah) as a leader and guide and Mercy (from God). And this as a confirming Book (the Quran confirming what is available from the original Torah), in the Arabic language to warn those who do wrong and injustice and as a giver of good news to good behaving people. |
|
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ |
|
13- |
Truly those who said: “Our Lord is God =
Allah” and thereafter have stood firm (in their belief), shall have no fear, nor sadness and grief. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ |
|
14- |
Those are the companions of Garden (of Paradise), residing there forever, as a reward for what they used to do. |
|
وَوَصَّيْنَا
الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَانًا حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا
وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا
حَتَّى |
|
15- |
And We have advised mankind to be kind to
his (or her) parents. His mother carried him (or her) with hardship, and gave birth to him painfully with hardship, And his (or her) carrying and weaning from nursing took thirty months; till later he reached his full strength and forty years of age, he would say: “My Lord, grant me that I thank You for Your Favor which You bestowed upon me and my parents, and that I will do good works which will please You and please make my offspring good for me. I have truly turned to You for help and I am one of the Muslims (submitted to Your Orders)”. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا وَنَتَجاوَزُ عَن سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ فِي أَصْحَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ |
|
16- |
Those are the kind of people from whom We
accept the best of their deeds and overlook and forgive their bad behavior (which they had) as they are going to be among the friends of Garden (of Paradise), a true promise, which they have been given (by Us). |
|
وَالَّذِي
قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ أُفٍّ لَّكُمَا أَتَعِدَانِنِي أَنْ أُخْرَجَ
وَقَدْ خَلَتْ الْقُرُونُ مِن قَبْلِي وَهُمَا يَسْتَغِيثَانِ
اللَّهَ |
|
17- |
(Contrary to such people, is) the person
who told his parents: “Uh on you both, do you promise me that I am going to ever get out (of grave and be ever resurrected), whereas many generations have passed before me (without being raised from their graves)?” While they (the parents) plead to God (to correct and forgive their son) and say to him: “Woe to you, believe, certainly the promise of God is true”. But then he says: “This is nothing but tales of ancient people”. |
|
أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلُ فِي أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا خَاسِرِينَ |
|
18- |
They are the kind of people on whom the
Word (of God against them) had been deserved and realized in the previous generations among the Jinns and humankind. In fact they have been the real losers. 2 |
|
وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَاتٌ مِّمَّا عَمِلُوا وَلِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ |
|
19- |
And for everyone and all, there are
degrees of standing, according to what they did (in their
lifetime on earth) and He will of course repay the results of their doings and they will not be wronged. |
|
وَيَوْمَ
يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَلَى النَّارِ أَذْهَبْتُمْ
طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهَا
فَالْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُونِ |
|
20- |
And the Day when the disbelievers (in the
Oneness of God, His Messages and the Hereafter) are exposed to the Fire (of Hell), they will be told: “You got your nice things during your life of the world and took pleasure in them, now then you will be given the punishment of humiliation, because you were arrogant in the land without justification and because you behaved against God’s Commandments". |
|
وَاذْكُرْ
أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ
النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ |
|
21- |
Mention also (Hood), the brother of the Aad people,
as he warned his people on the sand dunes (of southern Arabia) and of course there had been warners before him and after him (all saying): “Beware not to worship anyone but God, as I am fearful for you about the suffering of the Great Day (of Resurrection). |
|
قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ |
|
22- |
They said: “Did you come to us to turn us
away from our gods? So bring us what you threaten us with, if you are being truthful”. |
|
قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ وَلَكِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ |
|
23- |
He Said: “The knowledge when it will
occur is with God Alone and I convey to you what I have been
sent for, but I noticed that you behave in an ignorant manner”. |
|
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُّمْطِرُنَا بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُم بِهِ رِيحٌ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |
|
24- |
Then when they saw it as a dense cloud
approaching their valleys, they said: “This is a cloud, bringing
us rain”. (They were told:) Not so, but that is (the suffering) that you were asking for, it is a (ferocious) wind, in which there is a painful suffering. |
|
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا لَا يُرَى إِلَّا مَسَاكِنُهُمْ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ |
|
25- |
Putting down and destroying everything by
the Command of its Lord. Then they became so ravaged that only remains of their homes could be seen. In that way, We recompense the sinful people. |
|
وَلَقَدْ
مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِيمَا إِن مَّكَّنَّاكُمْ فِيهِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ
سَمْعًا وَأَبْصَارًا وَأَفْئِدَةً فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُمْ
سَمْعُهُمْ |
|
26- |
And indeed We had given them things which We
did not give you and We had given them the (same capabilities of) hearing and observations and hearts (to feel the truth) but neither their hearing, nor their seeing, nor their hearts did any good for them as they kept on denying and confronting the Message of God and the very things (the punishment) which they kept making fun of, encircled and overwhelmed them. |
|
وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ الْقُرَى وَصَرَّفْنَا الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ |
|
27- |
And in fact We did destroy some towns
around you and We had explicitly shown (them Our) lessons and
Signs, so that they might (return to the truth). |
|
فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا آلِهَةً بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْ وَذَلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ |
|
28- |
Nevertheless, why then those entities
which they had taken as means of approach (to God) besides God,
as gods, did not help them? On the contrary, they vanished from their minds (when the punishment came). And in that was their lie and all the things which they used to fabricate. |
|
وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنصِتُوا فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْا إِلَى قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ |
|
29- |
And mention the time when We sent some
of the Jinns to you, to listen to the Quran, when they came in the presence of it, they said: “Be silent (and listen)”. Then when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners (to them). |
|
قَالُوا يَا قَوْمَنَا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَابًا أُنزِلَ مِن بَعْدِ مُوسَى مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلَى طَرِيقٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ |
|
30- |
They said: “O our people, we have indeed
heard a Book (the Quran), sent down after Moses, conforming that which is available to it (from the Torah), it guides to the truth and to the straight correct way”. |
|
يَا قَوْمَنَا أَجِيبُوا دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ وَآمِنُوا بِهِ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ |
|
31- |
“O our people, respond to the Caller to
God and believe in him (Muhammad as a Messenger of God) and in it (the Quran). He (God) will forgive you of your sins, and will save you from the painful suffering (of Hell). |
|
وَمَن لَّا يُجِبْ دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِن دُونِهِ أَولِيَاء أُوْلَئِكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ |
|
32- |
And anyone who does not respond to the
Caller to God, can not escape the negative consequence (of his actions) on earth and will have no protector other than Him. Those are the ones who are lost in evident error. |
|
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْيَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى بَلَى إِنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ |
|
33- |
Don’t they see that God, Who has created
the heavens and the earth and was never tired by their creations, is Capable to bring the dead back to life? Yes, He surely is Able to do all things. |
|
وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَلَى النَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِالْحَقِّ قَالُوا بَلَى وَرَبِّنَا قَالَ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ |
|
34- |
And the Day, when those who denied the
truth are exposed to the Hellfire, (will be asked:) “Is this not
real?” They shall say: “Yes by our Lord”. He will say: “Then taste the punishment, because you used to deny it”. |
|
فَاصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُوْلُوا الْعَزْمِ
مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ
يَرَوْنَ |
|
35- |
Therefore (O Muhammad) be patient as did
the Messengers of strong will (before you) and be in no hurry about them (the deniers, disbelievers). It will be the Day, when they see what they had been promised, (it will seem to them) as if they did not stay more than an hour of a single day (on earth); that is a clear message. So then would any other than the rebellious nation be destroyed? |
