Alif Lam Mim
Translation 1260
This is the Scripture in which there is no doubt, containing guidance for those who are mindful of God
Translation 1260
who believe in the unseen, keep up the prayer, and give out of what We have provided for them
Translation 1260
those who believe in the revelation sent down to you [Muhammad], and in what was sent before you, those who have firm faith in the Hereafter
Translation 1260
Such people are following their Lord’s guidance and it is they who will prosper
Translation 1260
As for those who disbelieve, it makes no difference whether you warn them or not: they will not believe
Translation 1260
God has sealed their hearts and their ears, and their eyes are covered. They will have great torment
Translation 1260
Some people say, ‘We believe in God and the Last Day,’ when really they do not believe
Translation 1260
They seek to deceive God and the believers but they only deceive themselves, though they do not realize it
Translation 1260
There is a disease in their hearts, to which God has added more: agonizing torment awaits them for their persistent lying
Translation 1260
When it is said to them, ‘Do not cause corruption in the land,’ they say, ‘We are only putting things right,’
Translation 1260
but really they are causing corruption, though they do not realize it
Translation 1260
When it is said to them, ‘Believe, as the others believe,’ they say, ‘Should we believe as the fools do?’ but they are the fools, though they do not know it
Translation 1260
When they meet the believers, they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, ‘We’re really with you; we were only mocking.’
Translation 1260
God is mocking them, and allowing them more slack to wander blindly in their insolence
Translation 1260
They have bought error in exchange for guidance, so their trade reaps no profit, and they are not rightly guided
Translation 1260
They are like people who [labour to] kindle a fire: when it lights up everything around them, God takes away all their light, leaving them in utter darkness, unable to see
Translation 1260
deaf, dumb, and blind: they will never return
Translation 1260
Or [like people who, under] a cloudburst from the sky, with its darkness, thunder, and lightning, put their fingers into their ears to keep out the thunderclaps for fear of death- God surrounds the disbelievers
Translation 1260
The lightning almost snatches away their sight: whenever it crashes on
Translation 1260
People, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may be mindful [of Him]
Translation 1260
who spread out the earth for you and built the sky; who sent water down from it and with that water produced things for your sustenance. Do not, knowing this, set up rivals to God
Translation 1260
If you have doubts about the revelation We have sent down to Our servant, then produce a single sura like it- enlist whatever supporters you have other than God- if you truly [think you can]
Translation 1260
If you cannot do this- and you never will- then beware of the Fire prepared for the disbelievers, whose fuel is men and stones
Translation 1260
[Prophet], give those who believe and do good the news that they will have Gardens graced with flowing streams. Whenever they are given sustenance from the fruits of these Gardens, they will say, ‘We have been given this before,’ because they were provided with something like it. They will have pure spouses and there they will stay
Translation 1260
