(1) 1. (The Qur’an is in the Arabic language which consists of Arabic letters such as:) Ha Meem. (Yet no one can produce even the shortest Chapter of the miraculous wonder of the Qur’an.)
(2) 2. (This is) a Revelation from (Allah) the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
(3) 3. (It is) a Scripture of which the Verses are clear (and easy to understand), a Qur’an in Arabic for a people who (seek to) know (Truth from error):
(4) 4. A giver of good news (of eternal Bliss for whoever believes and does righteous work) and a warner (of Chastisement for whoever associates any partner with Allah and works evil), but most of them turn away, so they do not listen.
(5) 5. And they say: Our hearts are under coverings from that which you call us to, and there is a heaviness in our ears, and a veil hangs between us and you, so work (according to your way); we too are working (according to our Religion).
(6) 6. (O Prophet Muhammad) say: I am only a human being like you; it is revealed to me that your (True) God is only One God (Allah), therefore follow (Islam) the right Way to Him and ask His Forgiveness; and woe to the polytheists (those who associate partners with Allah);
(7) 7. Who do not come to the Purification (of heart and soul, i e., Islam, and don't pray and pay the poor-rate), and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter.
(8) 8. (As for) those who believe (with all their hearts) and do righteous deeds, they will surely have a reward never to be cut off.
(9) 9. Say: Do you indeed disbelieve in (Allah) Who created the earth in two days, and do you set up equals with Him? That is (Allah) the (real) Lord (Creator, Sustainer and Ruler) of all that exists.
(10) 10. And He placed therein mountains above its surface, and blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance in four days alike for all those who ask.
(11) 11. Then (He) turned to the heaven when it was (yet) smoke, so He said to it and to the earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly.
(12) 12. So He ordained them seven heavens in two Days, and inspired in each heaven its affair; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars and (made it) to guard (against the devils); this is the Decree of (Allah) the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
(13) 13. But if they turn away, then say: I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (that fell upon the tribes) of ‘Aad and Thamud.
(14) 14. When their Messengers (sent by Allah) came to them from before them and from behind them, saying, worship none but Allah, they said: If (Allah) our Lord had so willed, He would certainly have sent down angels, so we are surely disbelievers in that with which you are sent.
(15) 15. Then as for (the tribe of) ‘Aad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: Who is mightier in strength than us? Did they not see that Allah Who created them was mightier than them in strength, and they used to reject Our Signs.
(16) 16. So We sent on them a furious wind in days of evil omen (for them), to make them taste the disgracing Torment in this worldly life; but certainly the Torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing, and they will never be helped.
(17) 17. And as for (the tribe of) Thamud, We showed them the right Way, but they chose blindness in preference to Guidance, so the thunderbolt of disgracing torment seized them for what they used to earn (of sins).
(18) 18. And We saved those who believed (in Allah and His messengers) and who used to guard themselves (against evil).
(19) 19. And (mention O Prophet Muhammad) the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered together to the Hellfire, while they are formed (and driven on) into groups.
(20) 20. Until when they come to it (the Hellfire), their hearing and their eyes and their skins will bear witness against them as to what they used to do (of evil).
(21) 21. And they will say to their skins: Why have you testified against us? They will say: Allah Who makes everything speak has made us speak, and He created you at first, and to Him you are (all) returned (for Judgment).
(22) 22. And you did not seek to veil yourselves lest your hearing and your eyes and your skins should bear witness against you, but you thought that Allah did not know most of what you were doing (of evil deeds).
(23) 23. And that was your (evil) thought which you entertained about (Allah) your (True) Lord. It has brought you down into destruction, so you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost.
(24) 24. And if they endure in patience, then stil the Fire will be their Home, and if they ask to appease (Allah), they will not be of those who are allowed to appease.
(25) 25. And We have appointed for them companions (in the world, among the sinful jinn and men) so they have made fair-seeming to them what is before them and what is behind them (of their sins), and the Word (the Decree of Allah) proved true against them - among the nations of the jinn and men that have passed on before them - that they are surely losers.
(26) 26. And those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Revelations) say: Do not listen to the Qur’an and make noise therein, perhaps you may prevail.
(27) 27. Therefore We shall most certainly make those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Revelations) taste a severe Torment, and We shall most certainly requite them according to the worst of what they used to do.
(28) 28. This is the requital of the enemies of Allah - the Fire; for them therein will be the eternal Home - a (fit) recompense for their rejecting Our Verses.
(29) 29. And those who disbelieved (in Allah and His Verses) will say: (O Allah) our Lord! Show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and men that we may trample them under our feet so that they be of the lowest.
(30) 30. (As for) those who say: Our (real) Lord is Allah, then steadfastly pursue the right Way, the angels descend upon them (at the time of their death), saying: Fear not, nor grieve, and receive good news of Paradise which you were promised.
(31) 31. We (the angels) are your supporters in this world’s life and in the Hereafter, and for you therein (the Paradise) is all that your inner-selves desire, and for you therein is all that you may ask for:
(32) 32. A hospitable provision from One Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Allah).
(33) 33. And who is better in speech than he who calls to (the Way of) Allah while he himself does (what is) right (and just), and says: I am surely one of the Muslims (who surrenders only to Allah's Will).
(34) 34. And not alike are the good and the evil. Repel (evil) with what is best, and thereupon the one whom between you and him was enmity (will become) as though he were a close friend.
(35) 35. And none is granted it except those who are patient; and none is granted it except those who have (been given) a great portion of good.
(36) 36. And if a whisper from Satan tries to turn you away (or stir in you anger or lust or any evil thought), then seek refuge in Allah; surely He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
(37) 37. And among (Allah’s) Signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun nor to the moon; but prostrate (and submit) to Allah Who created them, if you (truly) worship Him (alone).
(38) 38. But if they are arrogant (to do so), then those (angels) with (Allah) your Lord glorify Him during the night and the day, and never are they tired.
(39) 39. And among (Allah’s) Signs is that you see the earth stil, but when We (Allah) send down on it water, it stirs (to life) and grows (of greenery): Most surely He Who gives it life is the Giver of life to the dead; surely He has Power over all things.
(40) 40. Surely those who deviate from the right Way concerning Our Verses are not hidden from Us (Allah). Is he then who is cast into the Fire better, or he who comes safe on the Day of Resurrection (and Judgment)? Do what you like, surely He (Allah) is Ever-Seeing of what you do.
(41) 41. Surely those who disbelieve in the Reminder (the Qur’an) when it comes to them (they are losers), for most surely it is a Mighty Scripture:
(42) 42. Falsehood will not come to it from before it or from behind it; (It is) a Revelation from (Allah) the All-Wise, the Praiseworthy.
(43) 43. Nothing is said to you (in the form of objection) except what was said indeed to the Messengers (of Allah) before you; surely (Allah) your Lord is the Lord of Forgiveness and the Lord of Painful Retribution.
(44) 44. And if We (Allah) had sent this as a Qur’an (recitation) in a foreign tongue other than Arabic, they would certainly have said: Why are not its Verses explained in detail (in our language)? A foreign (tongue) and (the Messenger) an Arab? Say: It is for those who believe, a Guidance and a Healing; and (as for) those who do not believe, there is a heaviness in their ears and it is obscure to them; these will be called to from a far-off place.
(45) 45. And certainly We gave the Scripture (Torah) to Moses, but it was differed about, and had not a Word already gone forth from (Allah) your Lord, Judgment would certainly have been given between them; and most surely they are, concerning (the Qur’an) in disqueting doubt.
(46) 46. Whoever does good, it is for his own self, and whoever does evil, it is against it; and (Allah) your Lord is not in the least unjust to His slaves (of mankind and jinn).
(47) 47. To Allah (alone, learned men) refer the knowledge of the Hour (the Day of Resurrection and Judgment) and there comes not forth any of the fruit from their coverings, nor does a female bear, nor does she give birth except with Allah’s Knowledge; and on the Day when He will call out to them, Where are (those whom you called) My associates? They will say: We declare to You, none of us are a witness (to that immense falsehood).
(48) 48. And what they called upon before will vanish from them, and they will know for certain that there is no escape for them (from Allah’s Chastisement).
(49) 49. Man is never tired of praying for good, but if evil fortune touches him, then he is despairing, hopeless.
(50) 50. And if We make him taste Mercy from Us (Allah) after some hardship that has touched him, he would most certainly say: This is for me (due to my merit), and I do not think the Hour (the Day of Resurrection and Judgment) will come to pass, and if I am sent back to (Allah) my Lord, I will surely have with Him good. But We shall most certainly inform those who disbelieved of what they did, and We shall most certainly make them taste a difficult Torment.
(51) 51. And when We (Allah) bestow favor upon man, he turns away and withdraws himself; but when evil fortune touches him, he makes lengthy supplications.
(52) 52. Say: Have you considered if it (this Qur’an) is from Allah (God); then you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than he who is in extreme dissension, far away (from the Right Path of Islam)?
(53) 53. We shall soon show them Our Signs in the Universe and in their own selves, until it will become clear to them that it (the Qur’an, or He, Allah) is the very Truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord (Allah), that He is a Witness over all things?
(54) 54. Know, surely they are in doubt as to the Meeting of their (True) Lord (Allah). Know, surely He encompasses everything (by His Knowledge and Power).
