حمٓ |  | 432 1 ḥā mīm1
وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ |  | 2 By the Clear Writ!1
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ |  | 3 We have made it an Arabic recitation,1 that you might use reason,
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ |  | 4 And it is in the foundation of the Writ,1 with Us, exalted and wise.
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ |  | 5 Shall We then turn the remembrance1 away2 from you because you are a people committing excess?
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّۢ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |  | 6 And how many a prophet did We send to the former peoples!
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ |  | 7 But there came not to them a prophet save they mocked him.
فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ |  | 8 And We destroyed stronger than them in might; and the example of the former peoples has gone before.
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ |  | 9 And if thou askest them who created the heavens and the earth,1 they will say: “There created them the Exalted in Might, the Knowing––”2
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ |  | 10 Who made the earth a bed for you, and made roads for you therein that you might be guided;
وَٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ |  | 11 And who sent down water from the sky in measure — and We resurrected thereby a dead land; thus will you be brought forth —
وَٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ |  | 12 And who created the pairs,1 all of them, and made for you of ships2 and cattle that whereon you ride,
لِتَسْتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ |  | 13 That you might settle yourselves upon their backs; then remember the favour of your Lord when you have settled yourselves thereon, and say: “Glory1 be to Him who made this subject for us when we were not equal to it!
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ |  | 14 “And to our Lord are we returning.”
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ |  | 15 But they have appointed for Him, from among His servants, a portion;1 man is an obvious ingrate.
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ |  | 16 If1 He has taken of what He creates daughters, and chosen for you sons,2
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ |  | 17 (But when one of them is given glad tidings of that1 which he strikes for the Almighty2 as a similitude, his face turns black and he suppresses grief:3
أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُا۟ فِى ٱلْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ |  | 18 “What — one brought up among ornaments and in conflict not seen!”1)
وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَـٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ إِنَـٰثًا أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَـٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ |  | 19 And they have made the angels, who are the servants of the Almighty,1 females:2 — did they witness their creation?3 Their witness will be recorded; and they will be questioned.4
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَـٰهُم مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ |  | 20 And they say: “Had the Almighty1 willed, we would not have served them.” They have no knowledge of that; they are only guessing.2
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ كِتَـٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ |  | 21 If1 We gave them a Writ2 before it3 to which they are holding:4
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ |  | 22 The truth is,1 they say: “We found our fathers upon2 a community, and we in their footsteps3 are guided.”
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ |  | 23 And thus We sent not before thee into a city any warner save its opulent ones said: “We found our fathers upon1 a community, and we are following2 in their footsteps.”
قَـٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ |  | 24 He1 said:2 “What — though I bring you better guidance than what you found your fathers upon?” They said: “We are deniers of that wherewith you have been sent,”
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ |  | 25 So We took vengeance on them; then see thou how was the final outcome of the deniers.
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ |  | 26 And when Abraham said to his father and his people: “I am quit of what you serve,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ |  | 27 “Save Him who originated me; and He will guide me,”[...].1
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ |  | 28 And He made it1 a word enduring among his posterity, that they might return.
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ |  | 29 The truth is,1 I gave these and their fathers enjoyment, until there came to them the truth2 and a clear messenger.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ |  | 30 And when the truth1 came to them, they said: “This is sorcery,2 and we are deniers thereof.”
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ |  | 31 And they said: “Oh, that this Qur’an1 had but2 been sent down upon a great man of the two cities!”3
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَـٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ |  | 32 Is it they who distribute the mercy of thy Lord? We have distributed among them their livelihood in the life of this world and raised some of them above others in degree,1 that some of them might take others in service; but the mercy of thy Lord is better than what they amass.
وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ |  | 33 And were it not that mankind would be one community, We would have appointed for him who denies the Almighty1 — for their houses — roofs of silver, and stairs whereon to ascend,
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ |  | 34 And for their houses doors, and couches1 whereon to recline,
وَزُخْرُفًا وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ |  | 35 And ornaments of gold.1 But all that is but the enjoyment of the life of this world; and the Hereafter with your Lord is for those of prudent fear.2
وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطَـٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ |  | 36 And he who is blind to the remembrance1 of the Almighty,2 We assign to him a satan3 and he is to him a companion,
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ |  | 37 And they turn them away from1 the path, while they think that they are guided.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَـٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرِينُ |  | 38 When1 he has come to Us, he will say: “Would that between me and thee had been the distance of the two Easts!” And evil is the companion.
وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ |  | 39 “And it benefits you not this day, when you have done wrong, that you are sharers1 in the punishment!”2
أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَمَن كَانَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ |  | 40 Wilt thou make the deaf to hear, or wilt thou guide the blind or him who is in manifest error?
فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ |  | 41 And whether We take thee away1 — then will We take vengeance on them —
أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَـٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ |  | 42 Or We show thee that which We have promised them:1 — We are omnipotent over them —
فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ |  | 43 Hold thou fast that which is revealed1 to thee; thou art on a straight path.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ |  | 44 And it is a remembrance1 for thee and for thy people; and you will be questioned.
وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ءَالِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ |  | 45 And ask thou of Our messengers We sent before thee:1 appointed We, besides2 the Almighty, gods to be served?3
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ |  | 46 And We sent Moses with Our proofs1 to Pharaoh2 and his eminent ones, and he said: “I am the messenger of the Lord of All Creation.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ |  | 47 And when he came to them with Our proofs,1 then they laughed at them.
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا وَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ |  | 48 And We showed them no proof1 save it was greater than its sister; and We seized them with the punishment, that they might return.
وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ |  | 49 And they said: “O thou sorcerer:1 call thou to thy Lord for us by what He has made in covenant with thee — we will be guided!”
