One of the 60 subdivisions of the Quran (half a Juz)
My people, why do I call you to salvation when you call me to the Fire
Translation 1260
You call me to disbelieve in God and to associate with Him things of which I have no knowledge; I call you to the Mighty, the Forgiving One
Translation 1260
There is no doubt that what you call me to serve is not fit to be invoked either in this world or the Hereafter: our return is to God alone, and it will be the rebels who will inhabit the Fire
Translation 1260
[One Day] you will remember what I am saying to you now, so I commit my case to God: God is well aware of His servants.’
Translation 1260
So God saved him from the harm they planned. A terrible punishment engulfed Pharaoh’s people
Translation 1260
they will be brought before the Fire morning and evening. On the Day the Hour comes, it will be said, ‘Throw Pharaoh’s people into the worst torment.’
Translation 1260
In the Fire they will quarrel with one another: the weak will say to the haughty, ‘We were your followers, so can you now relieve us from some share of the Fire?’
Translation 1260
but they will say, ‘We are all in this together. God has judged between His creatures.’
Translation 1260
Those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, ‘Ask your Lord to lessen our suffering for one day,’
Translation 1260
but they will say, ‘Did your messengers not come to you with clear evidence of the truth?’ They will say, ‘Yes they did,’ and the keeper will say, ‘You can plead, then, but the pleas of disbelievers will always be in vain.’
Translation 1260
We support Our messengers and the believers, in the present life and on the Day when witnesses arise
Translation 1260
On the Day when excuses will not profit the evildoers, their fate will be rejection and they will have the worst of homes
Translation 1260
We gave Moses guidance and passed down the Scripture to the Children of Israel
Translation 1260
as a guide and a reminder to people of understanding
Translation 1260
So be patient, Prophet, for what God has promised is sure to come. Ask forgiveness for your sins; praise your Lord morning and evening
Translation 1260
As for those who, with no authority to do so, dispute God’s messages, there is nothing in their hearts but a thirst for a greatness they will never attain. Seek refuge in God, for He is the All Hearing, the All Seeing
Translation 1260
The creation of the heavens and earth is greater by far than the creation of mankind, though most people do not know it
Translation 1260
The blind and the sighted are not equal, just as those who believe and do good works and those who do evil are not equal: how seldom you reflect
Translation 1260
The Final Hour is sure to come, without doubt, but most people do not believe
Translation 1260
Your Lord says, ‘Call on Me and I will answer you; those who are too proud to serve Me will enter Hell humiliated.’
Translation 1260
It is God who has given you the night in which to rest and the day in which to see. God is truly bountiful to people, but most people do not give thanks
Translation 1260
Such is God your Lord, the Creator of all things: there is no god but Him. How can you be so deluded
Translation 1260
This is how deluded those who deny God’s messages are
Translation 1260
It is God who has given you the earth for a dwelling place and the heavens for a canopy. He shaped you, formed you well, and provided you with good things. Such is God your Lord, so glory be to Him, the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
He is the Living One and there is no god but Him, so call on Him, and dedicate your religion entirely to Him. Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘Since clear evidence has come to me from my Lord I am forbidden to serve those you call upon besides God: I am commanded to submit to the Lord of the Worlds.’
Translation 1260
It is He who created you from dust, then from a drop of fluid, then from a tiny, clinging form, then He brought you forth as infants, then He allowed you to reach maturity, then He let you grow old- though some of you die sooner- and reach your appointed term so that you may reflect
Translation 1260
It is He who gives life and death, and when He ordains a thing, He says only ‘Be’ and it is
Translation 1260
[Prophet], do you see how deluded those who dispute God’s messages are
Translation 1260
those who reject the Scripture and the messages We have sent through Our messengers? They will find out
Translation 1260
when, with iron collars and chains around their necks, they are dragged
Translation 1260
into scalding water, and then burned in the Fire
Translation 1260
and asked, ‘Where now are those you called upon
Translation 1260
besides God?’ They will say, ‘They have abandoned us: those we called upon before were really nothing at all.’ ‘This is how God lets disbelievers go astray
Translation 1260
all because on earth you revelled in untruth and ran wild
Translation 1260
Enter the gates of Hell, there to remain- an evil home for the arrogant.’
Translation 1260
So be patient [Prophet], for God’s promise is sure: whether We show you part of what We have promised them in this life or whether We take your soul back to Us first, it is to Us that they will be returned
Translation 1260
We have sent other messengers before you- some We have mentioned to you and some We have not- and no messenger could bring about a sign except with God’s permission. When [the Day] God ordained comes, just judgement will be passed between them: there and then, those who followed falsehood will be lost
Translation 1260
It is God who provides livestock for you, some for riding and some for your food
Translation 1260
you have other benefits in them too. You can reach any destination you wish on them: they carry you, as ships carry you [on the sea]
Translation 1260
He shows you His signs: which of God’s signs do you still ignore
Translation 1260
Have they not travelled through the land and seen how those who lived before them met their end? They were more numerous than them, stronger than them, and made a more impressive mark on the land, yet what they achieved was of no use to them at all
Translation 1260
When messengers came to them with clear signs, they revelled in the knowledge they had, and so they were engulfed by the very punishment they mocked
Translation 1260
when they saw Our punishment, they said, ‘We believe in God alone; we reject any partner we ascribed to Him,’
Translation 1260
but believing after seeing Our punishment did not benefit them at all- this has always been God’s way of dealing with His creatures- there and then the disbelievers were lost
Translation 1260
Ha Mim
Translation 1260
A revelation from the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy
Translation 1260
a Scripture whose verses are made distinct as a Quran in Arabic for people who understand
Translation 1260
giving good news and warning. Yet most of them turn away and so do not hear
Translation 1260
They say, ‘Our hearts are encased against [the faith] you call us to; our ears are heavy; there is a barrier between us and you. So you do whatever you want, and so shall we.’
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘I am only a mortal like you, [but] it has been revealed to me that your God is One. Take the straight path to Him and seek His forgiveness. Woe to the idolaters
Translation 1260
who do not pay the prescribed alms and refuse to believe in the world to come
Translation 1260
Those who believe and do good deeds will have a reward that never fails.’
Translation 1260
Say, ‘How can you disregard the One who created the earth in two Days? How can you set up other gods as His equals? He is the Lord of all the worlds!’
Translation 1260
He placed solid mountains on it, blessed it, measured out its varied provisions for all who seek them––all in four Days
Translation 1260
Then He turned to the sky, which was smoke––He said to it and the earth, ‘Come into being, willingly or not,’ and they said, ‘We come willingly’––
Translation 1260
and in two Days He formed seven heavens, and assigned an order to each. We have made the nearest one beautifully illuminated and secure. Such is the design of the Almighty, the All Knowing
Translation 1260
If they turn away, say, ‘I have warned you about a blast like the one which struck 'Ad and Thamud
Translation 1260
when their messengers came to them, from all angles, saying, “Serve no one but God,” they said, “If our Lord had wished, He would have sent down angels. We do not believe in the message with which you have been sent.”
Translation 1260
The people of 'Ad behaved arrogantly throughout the land without any right, saying, “Who could be stronger than us?” Did they not realize that God, who created them, was stronger than them?’ They continued to reject Our message
Translation 1260
so We let a roaring wind loose on them for a few disastrous days to make them taste the punishment of shame in this world; more shameful still will be the punishment of the life to come, and they will not be helped
Translation 1260
As for Thamud, We gave them guidance but they preferred blindness, so they were struck by a blast of humiliating punishment for their misdeeds
Translation 1260
We saved those who believed and were mindful of God
Translation 1260
On the Day when God’s enemies are gathered up for the Fire and driven onward
Translation 1260
their ears, eyes, and skins will, when they reach it, testify against them for their misdeeds
Translation 1260
They will say to their skins, ‘Why did you testify against us?’ and their skins will reply, ‘God, who gave speech to everything, has given us speech- it was He who created you the first time and to Him you have been returned
Translation 1260
yet you did not try to hide yourselves from your ears, eyes, and skin to prevent them from testifying against you. You thought that God did not know about much of what you were doing
Translation 1260
so it was the thoughts you entertained about your Lord that led to your ruin, and you became losers.’
Translation 1260
The Fire will still be their home, even if they resign themselves to patience, and if they pray to be allowed to make amends, they will not be given permission to do so
Translation 1260
We have appointed, for the disbelievers, companions who make their past and present seem fair and right to them, but the sentence has already been passed on them, along with generations of jinn and men before them: they were losers
Translation 1260
The disbelievers say, ‘Do not listen to this Quran; drown it in frivolous talk: you may gain the upper hand.’
Translation 1260
We shall certainly give the disbelievers a taste of severe punishment. We shall repay them according to their worst deeds
Translation 1260
that is the reward of the enemies of God- the Fire will be their lasting home, a payment for their rejection of Our revelations
Translation 1260
The disbelievers will say, ‘Our Lord, show us those jinn and men who misled us and we shall trample them underfoot, so that they may be among the lowest of the low.’
Translation 1260
As for those who say, ‘Our Lord is God,’ and take the straight path towards Him, the angels come down to them and say, ‘Have no fear or grief, but rejoice in the good news of Paradise, which you have been promised
Translation 1260
We are your allies in this world and in the world to come, where you will have everything you desire and ask for
Translation 1260
as a welcoming gift from the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful One.’
Translation 1260
Who speaks better than someone who calls people to God, does what is right, and says, ‘I am one of those devoted to God’
Translation 1260
Good and evil cannot be equal. [Prophet], repel evil with what is better and your enemy will become as close as an old and valued friend
Translation 1260
but only those who are steadfast in patience, only those who are blessed with great righteousness, will attain to such goodness
Translation 1260
If a prompting from Satan should stir you, seek refuge with God: He is the All Hearing and the All Knowing
Translation 1260
The night, the day, the sun, the moon, are only a few of His signs. Do not bow down in worship to the sun or the moon, but bow down to God who created them, if it is truly Him that you worship
Translation 1260
If the disbelievers are too arrogant, [remember, Prophet, that] those who are with your Lord glorify Him tirelessly night and day
Translation 1260
Another of His signs is this: you see the earth lying desolate, but when We send water down on to it, it stirs and grows. He who gives it life will certainly give life to the dead. He has power over everything
Translation 1260
Those who distort the meaning of Our message are not hidden from Us. Is he who is hurled into the Fire better, or he who comes through safely on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you want, God certainly sees everything you do
Translation 1260
Those who reject the Quran when it comes to them- though it is an unassailable Scripture
Translation 1260
which falsehood cannot touch from any angle, a Revelation sent down from the Wise One, Worthy of All Praise
Translation 1260
[should remember that] you [Prophet] are not told anything that the previous messengers were not told: your Lord is a Lord of forgiveness, but also of painful punishment
Translation 1260
If We had made it a foreign Quran, they would have said, ‘If only its verses were clear! What? Foreign speech to an Arab?’ Say, ‘It is guidance and healing for those who have faith, but the ears of the disbelievers are heavy, they are blind to it, it is as if they are being called from a distant place.’
Translation 1260
We gave the Scripture to Moses but disputes arose about it- if it were not for a decree that had already been issued from your Lord, they would already have been judged- and still they are doubtful and suspicious of it
Translation 1260
Whoever does good does it for his own soul and whoever does evil does it against his own soul: your Lord is never unjust to His creatures
Translation 1260
