1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ha-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].

Shakir

1 Ha Mim.

2 The revelation of the Book (this Qur'an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

2 The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

3 Verily, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers.

Shakir

3 Most surely in the heavens and the earth there are signs for the believers.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

4 And in your creation, and what He scattered (through the earth) of moving (living) creatures are signs for people who have Faith with certainty.

Shakir

4 And in your (own) creation and in what He spreads abroad of animals there are signs for a people that are sure;

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

5 And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision (rain) that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the winds (i.e. sometimes towards the east or north, and sometimes towards the south or west sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain etc., and sometimes bringing the torment), are signs for a people who understand.

Shakir

5 And (in) the variation of the night and the day, and (in) what Allah sends down of sustenance from the cloud, then gives life thereby to the earth after its death, and (in) the changing of the winds, there are signs for a people who understand.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

6 These are the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of Allah, which We recite to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) with truth. Then in which speech after Allah and His Ayat will they believe?

Shakir

6 These are the communications of Allah which We recite to you with truth; then in what announcement would they believe after Allah and His communications?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

7 Woe to every sinful liar

Shakir

7 Woe to every sinful liar,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

8 Who hears the Verses of Allah (being) recited to him, yet persists with pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a painful torment!

Shakir

8 Who hears the communications of Allah recited to him, then persists proudly as though he had not heard them; so announce to him a painful punishment.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

9 And when he learns something of Our Verses (this Qur'an), he makes them a jest. For such there will be a humiliating torment.

Shakir

9 And when he comes to know of any of Our communications, he takes it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasing chastisement.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

10 In front of them there is Hell. And that which they have earned will be of no profit to them, nor (will be of any profit to them) those whom they have taken as Auliya' (protectors, helpers) besides Allah. And theirs will be a great torment.

Shakir

10 Before them is hell, and there shall not avail them aught of what they earned, nor those whom they took for guardians besides Allah, and they shall have a grievous punishment.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

11 This (Qur'an) is a guidance. And those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) of their Lord, for them there is a painful torment of Rijz (a severe kind of punishment).

Shakir

11 This is guidance; and (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications of their Lord, they shall have a painful punishment on account of uncleanness.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

12 Allah, it is He Who has subjected to you the sea, that ships may sail through it by His Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may be thankful.

Shakir

12 Allah is He Who made subservient to you the sea that the ships may run therein by His command, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you may give thanks.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

13 And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; it is all as a favour and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who think deeply.

Shakir

13 And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

14 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) to the believers to forgive those who (harm them and) hope not for the Days of Allah (i.e. His Recompense), that He may recompense people, according to what they have earned (i.e. to punish these disbelievers who harm the believers).

Shakir

14 Say to those who believe (that) they forgive those who do not fear the days of Allah that He may reward a people for what they earn.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

15 Whosoever does a good deed, it is for his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it is against (his ownself). Then to your Lord you will be made to return.

Shakir

15 Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil, it is against himself; then you shall be brought back to your - - Lord.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

16 And indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, and the understanding of the Scripture and its laws, and the Prophethood; and provided them with good things, and preferred them above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn of their time, during that period),

Shakir

16 And certainly We gave the Book and the wisdom and the prophecy to the children of Israel, and We gave them of the goodly things, and We made them excel the nations.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

17 And gave them clear proofs in matters [by revealing to them the Taurat (Torah)]. And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves. Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.

Shakir

17 And We gave them clear arguments in the affair, but they did not differ until after knowledge had come to them out of envy among themselves; surely your - Lord will judge between them on the day of resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

18 Then We have put you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) on a (plain) way of (Our) commandment [like the one which We commanded Our Messengers before you (i.e. legal ways and laws of the Islamic Monotheism)]. So follow you that (Islamic Monotheism and its laws), and follow not the desires of those who know not. (Tafsir At-Tabari).

Shakir

18 Then We have made you follow a course in the affair, therefore follow it, and do not follow the low desires of those who do not know.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

19 Verily, they can avail you nothing against Allah (if He wants to punish you). Verily, the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers) are Auliya' (protectors, helpers) of one another, but Allah is the Wali (Helper, Protector) of the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2).

Shakir

19 Surely they shall not avail you in the least against Allah; and surely the unjust are friends of each other, and Allah is the guardian of those who guard (against evil).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

20 This (Qur'an) is a clear insight and evidence for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy for people who have Faith with certainty.

Shakir

20 These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who are sure.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the judgement that they make.

Shakir

21 Nay! do those who have wrought evil deeds think that We will make them like those who believe and do good - - that their life and their death shall be equal? Evil it is that they judge.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

22 And Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth, in order that each person may be recompensed what he has earned, and they will not be wronged.

Shakir

22 And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned and they shall not be wronged.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

23 Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilah (god)? And Allah knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allah? Will you not then remember?

Shakir

23 Have you then considered him who takes his low desire for his god, and Allah has made him err having knowledge and has set a seal upon his ear and his heart and put a covering upon his eye. Who can then guide him after Allah? Will you not then be mindful?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

24 And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (time). And they have no knowledge of it: they only conjecture.

Shakir

24 And they say: There is nothing but our life in this world; we live and die and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

25 And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, their argument is no other than that they say: "Bring back our (dead) fathers, if you are truthful!"

Shakir

25 And when Our clear communications are recited to them, their argument is no other than that they say: Bring our fathers (back) if you are truthful.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

26 Say (to them): "Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not."

Shakir

26 Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, then will He gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is no doubt, but most people do not know.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

27 And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And on the Day that the Hour will be established - on that Day the followers of falsehood (polytheists, disbelievers, worshippers of false deities) shall lose (everything).

Shakir

27 And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the hour shall come to pass, on that day shall they perish who say false things.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

28 And you will see each nation humbled to their knees (kneeling): each nation will be called to its Record (of deeds). This Day you shall be recompensed for what you used to do.

Shakir

28 And you shall see every nation kneeling down; every nation shall be called to its book: today you shall be rewarded for what you did.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

29 This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds).

Shakir

29 This is Our book that speaks against you with justice; surely We wrote what you did,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

30 Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy. That will be the evident success.

Shakir

30 Then as to those who believed and did good, their Lord will make them enter into His mercy; that is the manifest achievement.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

31 But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): "Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud, and you were a people who were Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals)."

Shakir

31 As to those who disbelieved: What! were not My communications recited to you? But you were proud and you were a guilty people.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

32 And when it was said: "Verily, Allah's Promise is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour," you said: "We know not what is the Hour: we do not think it but as a conjecture, and we have no firm convincing belief (therein)."

Shakir

32 And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is true and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you said: We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (that it will come to pass) save a passing thought, and we are not at all sure.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

33 And the evil of what they did will appear to them, and that which they used to mock at will completely encircle them.

Shakir

33 And the evil (consequences) of what they did shall become manifest to them and that which they mocked shall encompass them.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

34 And it will be said: "This Day We will forget you as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours. And your abode is the Fire, and there is none to help you."

Shakir

34 And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you neglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode is the fire, and there are not for you any helpers:

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

35 This, because you took the revelations of Allah (this Qur'an) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell), nor shall they be returned to the worldly life, (so that they repent to Allah, and beg His Pardon for their sins).

Shakir

35 That is because you took the communications of Allah for a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall they be granted goodwill.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

36 So all the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

Shakir

36 Therefore to Allah is due (all) praise, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

37 And His (Alone) is the Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Shakir

37 And to Him belongs greatness in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
