بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ حم

Ha. Meem.

تَنزيلُ الكِتابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ العَزيزِ الحَكيمِ

This Book is a revelation from God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

ما خَلَقنَا السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما إِلّا بِالحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۚ وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا عَمّا أُنذِروا مُعرِضونَ

We didn’t create the heavens, the earth, and all that lies between them except in truth and for a specified term. Yet, those who disbelieve turn away from the warnings they receive.

وَمَن أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدعو مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مَن لا يَستَجيبُ لَهُ إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ وَهُم عَن دُعائِهِم غافِلونَ

Who is more misguided than one who prays to others besides God—those who won’t respond to them until the Day of Resurrection, and they are oblivious of their prayers?

وَإِذا حُشِرَ النّاسُ كانوا لَهُم أَعداءً وَكانوا بِعِبادَتِهِم كافِرينَ

When humanity is gathered, they will become their enemies and deny their worship of them.

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ قالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلحَقِّ لَمّا جاءَهُم هـٰذا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ

When Our clear verses are presented to them, those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reaches them, “This is obvious sorcery.”

أَم يَقولونَ افتَراهُ ۖ قُل إِنِ افتَرَيتُهُ فَلا تَملِكونَ لي مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيئًا ۖ هُوَ أَعلَمُ بِما تُفيضونَ فيهِ ۖ كَفىٰ بِهِ شَهيدًا بَيني وَبَينَكُم ۖ وَهُوَ الغَفورُ الرَّحيمُ

Or do they say, “He invented it”? Say, “If I invented it, you have no power to protect me from God. He is fully aware of what you engage in. He is sufficient as a witness between me and you. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”

قُل ما كُنتُ بِدعًا مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَما أَدري ما يُفعَلُ بي وَلا بِكُم ۖ إِن أَتَّبِعُ إِلّا ما يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ وَما أَنا إِلّا نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

Say, “I am not a novelty among the messengers, and I don’t know what will happen to me or to you. I only follow what’s revealed to me and am simply a clear warner.”
