Ha Mim
Translation 1260
By the Scripture that makes things clear
Translation 1260
truly We sent it down on a blessed night––We have always sent warnings––
Translation 1260
a night when every matter of wisdom was made distinct
Translation 1260
at Our command––We have always sent messages to man––
Translation 1260
as a mercy [Prophet] from your Lord who sees and knows all
Translation 1260
Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between––if only you people were firm believers––
Translation 1260
there is no god but Him: He gives life and death––He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers––
Translation 1260

[Prophet], watch out for the Day when the sky brings forth clouds of smoke for all to see
Translation 1260

Translation 1260
Lord relieve us from this torment! We believe!’
Translation 1260
How will this [sudden] faith benefit them? When a prophet came to warn them plainly
Translation 1260
they turned their backs on him, saying, ‘He is tutored! He is possessed!’
Translation 1260
We shall hold the torment back for a while ––you are sure to return [to Us]––
Translation 1260
and on the Day We seize [them] mightily We shall exact retribution
Translation 1260
We tested the people of Pharaoh before them: a noble messenger was sent to them
Translation 1260
saying, ‘Hand the servants of God over to me! I am a faithful messenger who has been sent to you
Translation 1260
Do not consider yourselves to be above God! I come to you with clear authority
Translation 1260
I seek refuge in my Lord and yours against your insults
Translation 1260
If you do not believe me, just let me be.’
Translation 1260
[Moses] cried to his Lord, ‘These people are evildoers!’
Translation 1260
[God replied], ‘Escape in the night with My servants, for you are sure to be pursued
Translation 1260
Leave the sea behind you parted and their army will be drowned.’
Translation 1260
Many a garden and spring they left behind
