Sura 44, Smoke (Al-Dukhãn) [44:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [44:1] H. M. [44:2] And this enlightening scripture. [44:3] We have sent it down in a blessed night, for we are to warn. [44:4] In it (the scripture), every matter of wisdom is clarified. [44:5] It is a predetermined command from us that we send messengers. [44:6] This is a mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient. [44:7] Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If only you could be certain! [44:8] There is no other god beside Him. He controls life and death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors. [44:9] Indeed, they are doubtful, heedless. The Smoke: A Major Prophecy* [44:10] Therefore, watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke.* Footnote [44:11] It will envelop the people; this is a painful retribution. [44:12] "Our Lord, relieve this retribution for us; we are believers." God's Messenger of the Covenant*...

Sura 43, Ornaments (Al-Zukhruf) [43:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [43:1] H. M.* Footnote [43:2] And the enlightening scripture. [43:3] We have rendered it an Arabic Quran, that you may understand.* Footnote [43:4] It is preserved with us in the original master, honorable and full of wisdom. [43:5] Should we just ignore the fact that you have transgressed the limits?* Footnote The Plan for Redemption [43:6] We have sent many a prophet to the previous generations. [43:7] Every time a prophet went to them, they ridiculed him. [43:8] Consequently, we annihilated people who were even more powerful than these. We thus set the examples from the previous communities. [43:9] If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth," they would say, "The Almighty, the Omniscient has created them." [43:10] He is the One who made the earth habitable for you, and created for you roads therein, that you may follow the right way...

Sura 42, Consultation (Al-Shoorã) [42:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [42:1] H.M.* Footnote [42:2] 'A. S. Q.* Footnote [42:3] Inspiring you, and those before you, is GOD, the Almighty, Most Wise. [42:4] To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth, and He is the Most High, the Great. [42:5] The heavens above them almost shatter, out of reverence for Him, and the angels praise and glorify their Lord, and they ask forgiveness for those on earth. Absolutely, GOD is the Forgiver, Most Merciful. [42:6] Those who set up other lords beside Him, GOD is the One in charge of them; you are not their advocate. [42:7] We thus reveal to you an Arabic Quran to warn the central community and all around it, and to warn about the Day of Summoning that is inevitable. Some will end up in Heaven, and some in Hell. [42:8] Had GOD willed, He could have made them one community. But He redeems into His mercy whomever He wills. As for the transg...

Sura 41, Detailed (Fussilat) [41:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [41:1] H. M.* Footnote [41:2] A revelation from the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. [41:3] A scripture whose verses provide the complete details, in an Arabic Quran, for people who know. [41:4] A bearer of good news, as well as a warner. However, most of them turn away; they do not hear. [41:5] They said, "Our minds are made up, our ears are deaf to your message, and a barrier separates us from you. Do what you want, and so will we." [41:6] Say, "I am no more than a human being like you, who has been inspired that your god is one god. You shall be devoted to Him, and ask His forgiveness. Woe to the idol worshipers. [41:7] "Who do not give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and with regard to the Hereafter, they are disbelievers." [41:8] As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, they receive a well deserved recompense. [41:9] Say, "You disbelieve...

Sura 40, Forgiver (Ghãfer) [40:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [40:1] H. M.* Footnote [40:2] This revelation of the scripture is from GOD, the Almighty, the Omniscient. [40:3] Forgiver of sins, acceptor of repentance, strict in enforcing retribution, and possessor of all power. There is no other god beside Him. To Him is the ultimate destiny. [40:4] None argues against GOD's revelations except those who disbelieve. Do not be impressed by their apparent success. [40:5] Disbelieving before them were the people of Noah, and many other opponents after them. Every community persecuted their messenger to neutralize him. And they argued with falsehood, to defeat the truth. Consequently, I punished them; how terrible was My retribution! [40:6] Thus, the judgment of your Lord is already stamped upon those who disbelieve, that they are the dwellers of Hell. Angels Pray for the Believers [40:7] Those who serve the throne and all those around it glorify ...

Sura 39, The Throngs (Al-Zumer) [39:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [39:1] This is a revelation of the scripture, from GOD, the Almighty, the Wise. [39:2] We sent down to you this scripture, truthfully; you shall worship GOD, devoting your religion to Him alone. The Idols as Mediators A Common Myth [39:3] Absolutely, the religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, "We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position!" GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers. [39:4] If GOD wanted to have a son, He could have chosen whomever He willed from among His creations. Be He glorified; He is GOD, the One, the Supreme. The Shape of the Earth* [39:5] He created the heavens and the earth truthfully. He rolls the night over the day, and rolls the day over the night.* He committed the sun and the moon, each running for a finite period. Absolute...

Sura 38, S. (Saad) [38:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [38:1] S. (Saad),* and the Quran that contains the proof.** Footnote [38:2] Those who disbelieve have plunged into arrogance and defiance. [38:3] Many a generation before them we annihilated. They called for help; in vain. [38:4] They wondered that a warner should come to them, from among them. The disbelievers said, "A magician; a liar. [38:5] "Did he make the gods into one god? This is really strange." [38:6] The leaders announced, "Go and steadfastly persevere in worshiping your gods. This is what is desired. [38:7] "We never heard of this from the religion of our fathers. This is a lie. [38:8] "Why did the proof come down to him, instead of us?" Indeed, they are doubtful of My proof. Indeed, they have not yet tasted My retribution. [38:9] Do they own the treasures of mercy of your Lord, the Almighty, the Grantor? [38:10] Do they possess the sovereig...

Sura 37, The Arrangers (Al-Sãffãt) [37:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [37:1] The arrangers in columns. [37:2] The blamers of those to be blamed. [37:3] The reciters of the messages. [37:4] Your god is only one. [37:5] The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and Lord of the easts.* Footnote [37:6] We have adorned the lowest heaven with adorning planets.* Footnote [37:7] We guarded it from every evil devil. [37:8] They cannot spy on the High Society; they get bombarded from every side. [37:9] They have been condemned; they have incurred an eternal retribution. [37:10] If any of them ventures to charge the outer limits, he gets struck with a fierce projectile. [37:11] Ask them, "Are they more difficult to create, or the other creations?" We created them from wet mud. [37:12] While you are awed, they mock. [37:13] When reminded, they take no heed. [37:14] When they see proof, they ridicule it. [...

Sura 36, Y.S. (YãSîn) [36:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [36:1] Y. S.* Footnote [36:2] And the Quran that is full of wisdom. [36:3] Most assuredly, you (Rashad) are one of the messengers.* Footnote [36:4] On a straight path. [36:5] This revelation is from the Almighty, Most Merciful. [36:6] To warn people whose parents were never warned, and therefore, they are unaware. [36:7] It has been predetermined that most of them do not believe. [36:8] For we place around their necks shackles, up to their chins. Consequently, they become locked in their disbelief. [36:9] And we place a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and thus, we veil them; they cannot see. [36:10] It is the same whether you warn them or not, they cannot believe.* Footnote [36:11] You will be heeded only by those who uphold this message, and reverence the Most Gracious—even when alone in their privacy. Give them good news of forgiveness and a generous recom...
