One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
When the son of Mary is cited as an example, your people [Prophet] laugh and jeer
Translation 1260
saying, ‘Are our gods better or him?’- they cite him only to challenge you: they are a contentious people
Translation 1260
but he is only a servant We favoured and made an example for the Children of Israel
Translation 1260
if it had been Our will, We could have made you angels, succeeding one another on earth
Translation 1260
This [Quran] gives knowledge of the Hour: do not doubt it. Follow Me for this is the right path
Translation 1260
do not let Satan hinder you, for he is your sworn enemy
Translation 1260
When Jesus came with clear signs he said, ‘I have brought you wisdom; I have come to clear up some of your differences for you. Be mindful of God and obey me
Translation 1260
God is my Lord and your Lord. Serve Him: this is the straight path.’
Translation 1260
Yet still the different factions among them disagreed- woe to the evildoers: they will suffer the torment of a grievous day
Translation 1260
what are they waiting for but the Hour, which will come upon them suddenly and take them unawares
Translation 1260
On that Day, friends will become each other’s enemies. Not so the righteous
Translation 1260
‘My servants, there is no fear for you today, nor shall you grieve’––
Translation 1260
those who believed in Our revelations and devoted themselves to Us
Translation 1260
‘Enter Paradise, you and your spouses: you will be filled with joy.’
Translation 1260
Dishes and goblets of gold will be passed around them with all that their souls desire and their eyes delight in. ‘There you will remain
Translation 1260
this is the Garden you are given as your own, because of what you used to do
Translation 1260
and there is abundant fruit in it for you to eat.’
Translation 1260
But the evildoers will remain in Hell’s punishment
Translation 1260
from which there is no relief: they will remain in utter despair
Translation 1260
We never wronged them; they were the ones who did wrong
Translation 1260
They will cry, ‘Malik, if only your Lord would finish us off,’ but he will answer, ‘No! You are here to stay.’
Translation 1260
We have brought you the Truth but most of you despise it
Translation 1260
Have these disbelievers thought up some scheme? We too have been scheming
Translation 1260
Do they think We cannot hear their secret talk and their private counsel? Yes we can: Our messengers are at their sides, recording everything
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘If the Lord of Mercy [truly] had offspring I would be the first to worship [them], but
Translation 1260
exalted be the Lord of the heavens and earth, the Lord of the Throne- He is far above their false descriptions.’
Translation 1260
Leave them to wade in deeper and play about, until they face the Day they have been promised
Translation 1260
It is He who is God in heaven and God on earth; He is the All Wise, the All Knowing
Translation 1260
Exalted is He who has control of the heavens and earth and everything between them; He has knowledge of the Hour; you will all be returned to Him
Translation 1260
Those gods they invoke besides Him have no power of intercession, unlike those who bore witness to the truth and recognized it
Translation 1260
If you [Prophet] ask them who created them they are sure to say, ‘God,’ so why are they so deluded
Translation 1260
The Prophet has said, ‘My Lord, truly these are people who do not believe,’
Translation 1260
but turn away from them and say, ‘Peace’: they will come to know
Translation 1260
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
yet in [their state of] doubt they take nothing seriously
Translation 1260
[Prophet], watch out for the Day when the sky brings forth clouds of smoke for all to see
Translation 1260
It will envelop the people. They will cry, ‘This is a terrible torment
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
