45. KNEELING
1. Ha, Meem.
2. The
revelation of the Book is from God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
3. In the
heavens and the earth are proofs for the believers.
4. And in
your own creation, and in the creatures He scattered, are signs for people of
firm faith.
5. And in
the alternation of night and day, and in the sustenance God sends down from the
sky, with which He revives the earth after its death, and in the circulation of
the winds, are marvels for people who reason.
6. These are
God’s Verses which We recite to you in truth. In which message, after God and
His revelations, will they believe?
7. Woe to
every sinful liar.
8. Who hears
God's revelations being recited to him, yet he persists arrogantly, as though
he did not hear them. Announce to him a painful punishment.
9. And when
he learns something of Our revelations, he takes them in mockery. For such
there is a shameful punishment.
10. Beyond
them lies Hell. What they have earned will not benefit them at all, nor will those
they adopted as lords instead of God. They will have a terrible punishment.
11. This is
guidance. Those who blaspheme their Lord’s revelations will have a punishment of
agonizing pain.
12. It is
God who placed the sea at your service, so that ships may run through it by His
command, and that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may give thanks.
13. And He
placed at your service whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth—all
is from Him. In that are signs for a people who think.
14. Tell
those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of God. He will
fully recompense people for whatever they have earned.
15. Whoever
does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against
it; then to your Lord you will be returned.
16. We gave
the Children of Israel the Book, and wisdom, and prophecy; and We provided them
with the good things; and We gave them advantage over all other people.
17. And We
gave them precise rulings. They fell into dispute only after knowledge came to
them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of
Resurrection regarding the things they differed about.
18. Then We
set you upon a pathway of faith, so follow it, and do not follow the inclinations
of those who do not know.
19. They
will not help you against God in any way. The wrongdoers are allies of one another,
while God is the Protector of the righteous.
20. This is
an illumination for mankind, and guidance, and mercy for people who believe
with certainty.
21. Do those
who perpetrate the evil deeds assume that We will regard them as equal to those
who believe and do righteous deeds, whether in their life or their death? Evil
is their judgment!
22. God
created the heavens and the earth with justice, so that every soul will be
repaid for what it has earned. And they will not be wronged.
23. Have you
considered him who has taken his desire for his god? God has knowingly led him
astray, and has sealed his hearing and his heart, and has placed a veil over
his vision. Who will guide him after God? Will you not reflect?
24. And they
say, “There is nothing but this our present life; we die and we live, and nothing
destroys us except time.” But they have no knowledge of that; they are only guessing.
25. When Our
clarifying Verses are recited to them, their only argument is to say, “Bring
back our ancestors, if you are truthful.”
26. Say,
“God gives you life, then He makes you die; then He gathers you for the Day of
Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.”
27. To God
belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth. On the Day when the Hour
takes place, on that Day the falsifiers will lose.
28. You will
see every community on its knees; every community will be called to its Book:
“Today you are being repaid for what you used to do.
29. This
Book of Ours speaks about you in truth. We have been transcribing what you have
been doing.”
30. As for
those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His
mercy. That is the clear triumph.
31. But as
for those who disbelieved: “Were My revelations not recited to you? But you turned
arrogant, and were guilty people.”
32. And when
it was said, “The promise of God is true, and of the Hour there is no doubt,”
you said, “We do not know what the Hour is; we think it is only speculation; we
are not convinced.”
33. The
evils of what they did will become evident to them, and the very thing they ridiculed
will haunt them.
34. And it
will be said, “Today We forget you, as you forgot the encounter of this Day of
yours. Your abode is the Fire, and there are no saviors for you.
35. That is
because you took God’s revelations for a joke, and the worldly life lured you.”
So today they will not be brought out of it, and they will not be allowed to repent.
36. Praise
belongs to God; Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of humanity.
37. To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth. He is the Majestic, the Wise.
