بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ حم
Ha. Meem.
وَالكِتابِ المُبينِ
By the clear and enlightening Scripture.
إِنّا جَعَلناهُ قُرآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَ
We’ve made it an Arabic Quran, so you may understand.
وَإِنَّهُ في أُمِّ الكِتابِ لَدَينا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكيمٌ
In fact, it is in the Source of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.
أَفَنَضرِبُ عَنكُمُ الذِّكرَ صَفحًا أَن كُنتُم قَومًا مُسرِفينَ
Should We withdraw the Message from you, since you are a people who transgress?
وَكَم أَرسَلنا مِن نَبِيٍّ فِي الأَوَّلينَ
How many a Prophet did We send among the ancients?
وَما يَأتيهِم مِن نَبِيٍّ إِلّا كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ
Yet, no Prophet came to them but they mocked him.
فَأَهلَكنا أَشَدَّ مِنهُم بَطشًا وَمَضىٰ مَثَلُ الأَوَّلينَ
We destroyed those far more powerful than them, and the example of the ancients has gone past.
