Ha Mim
Translation 1260
By the Scripture that makes things clear
Translation 1260
We have made it a Quran in Arabic so that you [people] may understand
Translation 1260
It is truly exalted in the Source of Scripture kept with Us, and full of wisdom
Translation 1260
Should We ignore you and turn this revelation away from you because you are insolent people
Translation 1260
We have sent many a prophet to earlier people
Translation 1260
and they mocked every one of them
Translation 1260
so We have destroyed mightier people than [the disbelievers of Mecca] and their example has gone down in history
Translation 1260
If you [Prophet] ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and earth?’ they are sure to say, ‘They were created by the Almighty, the All Knowing.’
Translation 1260
It is He who smoothed out the earth for you and traced out routes on it for you to find your way
Translation 1260
who sends water down from the sky in due measure––We resurrect dead land with it, and likewise you will be resurrected from the grave––
Translation 1260
who created every kind of thing, who gave you ships and animals to ride on
Translation 1260
so that you may remember your Lord’s grace when you are seated on them and say, ‘Glory be to Him who has given us control over this; we could not have done it by ourselves
Translation 1260
Truly it is to our Lord that we are returning.’
Translation 1260
Yet they assign some of His own servants to Him as offspring!Man is clearly ungrateful
Translation 1260
Has He taken daughters for Himself and favoured you with sons
Translation 1260
When one of them is given news of the birth of a daughter, such as he so readily ascribes to the Lord of Mercy, his face grows dark and he is filled with gloom
Translation 1260
‘Someone who is brought up amongst trinkets, who cannot put together a clear argument?’
Translation 1260
They consider the angels- God’s servants- to be female. Did they witness their creation? Their claim will be put on record and they will be questioned about it
Translation 1260
They say, ‘If the Lord of Mercy had willed it, we would not have worshipped them,’ but they do not know that- they are only guessing
Translation 1260
or have We perhaps given them a book before this one, to which they hold fast
Translation 1260
No indeed! They say, ‘We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are guided by their footsteps.’
Translation 1260
When-ever We sent a messenger before you to warn a township, those corrupted by wealth said, in the same way, ‘We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are only following in their footsteps.’
Translation 1260
The messenger said, ‘Even though I bring you a truer religion than what you saw your fathers following?’ and they replied, ‘But we do not believe the message you bring.’
Translation 1260
We punished them: think about how those who rejected the Truth met their end
