Yusuf Ali

1 Ha - Mim.

Yusuf Ali

2 The revelation of the Book is from Allah the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

Yusuf Ali

3 Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those who believe.

Yusuf Ali

4 And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth), are Signs for those of assured Faith.

Yusuf Ali

5 And in the alternation of Night and Day, and the fact that Allah sends down Sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the change of the winds, - are Signs for those that are wise.

Yusuf Ali

6 Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in Truth; then in what exposition will they believe after (rejecting) Allah and His Signs?

Yusuf Ali

7 Woe to each sinful dealer in Falsehoods:

Yusuf Ali

8 He hears the Signs of Allah rehearsed to him, yet is obstinate and lofty, as if he had not heard them: then announce to him a Penalty Grievous!

Yusuf Ali

9 And when he learns something of Our Signs, he takes them in jest: for such there will be a humiliating Penalty.

Yusuf Ali

10 In front of them is Hell: and of no profit to them is anything they may have earned, nor any protectors they may have taken to themselves besides Allah: for them is a tremendous Penalty.

Yusuf Ali

11 This is (true) Guidance and for those who reject the Signs of their Lord, is a grievous Penalty of abomination.

Yusuf Ali

12 It is Allah Who has subjected the sea to you, that ships may sail through it by His command, that ye may seek of his Bounty, and that ye may be grateful.

Yusuf Ali

13 And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect.

Yusuf Ali

14 Tell those who believe, to forgive those who do not look forward to the Days of Allah: It is for Him to recompense (for good or ill) each People according to what they have earned.

Yusuf Ali

15 If any one does a righteous deed, it ensures to the benefit of his own soul; if he does evil, it works against (his own soul). In the end will ye (all) be brought back to your Lord.

Yusuf Ali

16 We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book the Power of Command, and Prophethood; We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and pure; and We favoured them above the nations.

Yusuf Ali

17 And We granted them Clear Signs in affairs (of Religion): it was only after knowledge had been granted to them that they fell into schisms, through insolent envy among themselves. Verily thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment as to those matters in which they set up differences.

Yusuf Ali

18 Then We put thee on the (right) Way of Religion: so follow thou that (Way), and follow not the desires of those who know not.

Yusuf Ali

19 They will be of no use to thee in the sight of Allah: it is only Wrong - doers (that stand as) protectors, one to another: but Allah is the Protector of the Righteous.

Yusuf Ali

20 These are clear evidences to men and a Guidance and Mercy to those of assured Faith.

Yusuf Ali

21 What! Do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds, - that equal will be their life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make.

Yusuf Ali

22 Allah created the heavens and the earth for just ends, and in order that each soul may find the recompense of what it has earned, and none of them be wronged.

Yusuf Ali

23 Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition?

Yusuf Ali

24 And they say: "What is there but our life in this world? We shall die and we live, and nothing but time can destroy us." But of that they have no knowledge: they merely conjecture:

Yusuf Ali

25 And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them their argument is nothing but this: They say, "Bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"

Yusuf Ali

26 Say: "It is Allah Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most men do not understand.

Yusuf Ali

27 To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established, - that Day will the dealers in Falsehood perish!

Yusuf Ali

28 And thou wilt see every sect bowing the knee: Every sect will be called to its Record: "This Day shall ye be recompensed for all that ye did!

Yusuf Ali

29 "This Our Record speaks about you with truth: For We were wont to put on Record all that ye did."

Yusuf Ali

30 Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the achievement for all to see.

Yusuf Ali

31 But as to those who rejected Allah, (to them will be said): "Were not Our Signs rehearsed to you? But ye were arrogant, and were a people given to sin!

Yusuf Ali

32 "And when it was said that the promise of Allah was true, and that the Hour - there was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm assurance.'"

Yusuf Ali

33 Then will appear to them the evil (fruits) of what they did, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!

Yusuf Ali

34 It will also be said: "This Day We will forget you as ye forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! and your abode is the Fire, and no helpers have ye!

Yusuf Ali

35 "This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest, and the life of the world deceived you:" (From) that Day, therefore, they shall not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace.

Yusuf Ali

36 Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, - Lord and Cherisher of all the Worlds!

Yusuf Ali

37 To Him be glory throughout the heavens and the earth: and He is Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom!
