| 1. Ha Mim. 2. This Qur'an is a revelation from the Gracious, the Merciful God, 3. A Book, the verses of which have been expounded in detail and which will be repeatedly read, couched in clear, eloquent language, for a people who have knowledge, 4. A bringer of glad tidings and a warner. But most of them turn away and they hear not. 5. And they say, `Our hearts are secure under coverings against that which thou callest us, and in our ears there is a heaviness, and between us and thee is a veil. So carry on thy work; we, too, are working.' 6. Say, `I am only a mortal like you. It is revealed to me that your god is One God; so go ye straight to HIM without deviating, and ask forgiveness of HIM.' And woe to the idolaters, 7. Who give not the Zakat, and they it is who disbelieve in the Hereafter. 8. As to those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them, surely, is a reward that will never end. 9. Say, `Do you really disbelieve in HIM Who created the earth in two days ? And do you set up equals to HIM ?' That is the Lord of the worlds. 10. HE placed therein firm mountains rising above its surface, and blessed it with abundance, and provided therein its foods in proper measure in four days - alike for all seekers. 11. Then HE turned to the heaven, while it was something like smoke, and said to it and to the earth; `Come ye both of you in obedience, willingly or unwillingly.' They said, `We come willingly.' |
