Allah’s Name to commence
with, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful.
421. HaMeem.
individual letters of the ‘Arabs
alphabet; Allah and His Messenger
know their exact meanings.)
42:2, ‘Ain-Seen-Qaaf. (These are
individual letters of the Arabic
alphabet; Allah and His Messenger
know their exact meanings.)
42:3, This is how Allah, the Most
Honourable, the All-Wise, sends
revelation to you (O Beloved),
and to those before you.
42:4. Only to Him belongs
whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is in the earth; and
only He is the Exalted, the Great.
42:5. It is near that the heavens
may split apart from above them
(due to His fear and awe), and
the angels glorify their Lord
while praising Him and. seek
forgiveness for those on earth
(ie. the believers). Pay heed!
Indeed, only Allah is the Most
Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
42:6. And those who have
chosen helpers other than Allah
(ie the false deities), they are in
the sight of Allah, and you are
not responsible for them.
42:7, And this is how We have
revealed to you an Arabic
Qur’aan, that you may warn the
people of the mother of all
cities; (ie.) Makkah, and all
those around it, and you should
warn of the Day of assembling
in which there is no doubt. One
group is in Paradise (i.e. the
believers), and one group is in
Hell (i.e. the disbelievers).
42:8. And had Allah willed, so
He would have made them all
upon one religion, but He takes
whomsoever He wills into His
Mercy; and the unjust do not
have any friend nor any helper.
42:9. Have they appointed
helpers other than Allah (ie their
idols)? So, (they must know that)
only Allah is the Helper, and He
will revive the dead, and He is
Able to do all things.
42:10. ‘And in whatever you
differ, so its judgement is with
Allah; this is my Lord, I relied
upon Him, and towards Him I
42:11. The Maker of the
heavens and the earth; He has
created pairs for you from your
own selves and (also) male and
female animals. From it He
causes your generation to
spread, no one is like Him and
only He is the All-Hearing, the
All-Seeing.
42:12. For only Him are the
keys of the heavens and the
earth; He _ increases the
sustenance for whomsoever He
wills and restricts it (for
whomever He wills); indeed,
He knows everything.
42:13. He has established for
you that path of the religion
which He commanded to Nooh,
and what We have revealed to
you (O Beloved), and what We
had commanded to Ibrahim and
Moosa and ‘Eisa; that ‘Keep the
religion properly established,
and do not create divisions in it.’
The polytheists find that (to be)
unbearable, towards which you
call them, and Allah chooses for
His closeness whomsoever He
wills and guides towards
Himself whomsoever turns
(towards His obedience).
42:14, And they did not cause
divisions except after this; that,
knowledge had come to them,
because of jealousy amongst
themselves. And had it not
been for a Word of your Lord
(i.e. delaying the punishment of
the disbelievers) that had
already been decreed until a
fixed time, so judgement would
have been passed upon them a
long time ago. And indeed,
those who inherited the Book
after them, they are in a
deceptive doubt concerning it.
42:15. So, for this reason, call (to
bring them into the folds of
Islam), and remain firm, as you
are commanded to, and do not
follow their desires; and say
that ‘I believed in whichever
Book Allah has sent down, and
I am commanded to judge
fairly between you. Allah is our
Lord and your Lord, of
everyone; our deed is for us
and what you did is for you.
There is no (need for an)
argument between us and you;
Allah will gather all of us
together and towards only Him
is the return.’
42:16. And those who fight
concerning Allah after the
Muslims have accepted His
invitation; their argument does
not have any weight at all
before their Lord, and upon
them is the wrath (of Allah),
and for them is a_ severe
punishment.
42:17. It is Allah Who has sent
down the Book with the truth
and the Scale of Justice; and
what do you know, perhaps the
Hour is near.
42:18. Those who do not believe
in it are hastening in it, and
those who believe in it are
fearing it and know that it is
indeed the truth. Beware!
Indeed, those who doubt the
Last Day are definitely in far
error.
42:19, Allah is All-Subile with His
bondsmen, He bestows sustenance
to whomsoever He wills; and only
He is the All-Powerful, the Most
Honourable.
42:20. Whosoever desires the
harvest of the Hereafter, We
increase his harvest for him;
and whoever desires the
harvest of this world, We will
give him some of it, and he has
no share in the Hereafter.
42:21. Or do they have other
deities who have brought
forward that religion for them
which Allah has not permitted?
Had there not been the promise
of a decision (that Allah gave
respite to the disbelievers),
judgement would have therefore
been passed amongst them here.
And indeed, for the unjust is a
painful punishment.
42:22. You will see the
wrongdoers being terrified of
their own earnings, and it (the
outcome) will certainly befall
them; and those who believed
and performed good deeds are
in meadows of Paradise; for
them, by their Lord, is whatever
they desire; only this is the great
Benevolence (of Allah).
42:23. This is that of which
Allah gives the glad tidings to
His bondsmen who believed
and did good deeds. Say you
(O Beloved), ‘I do not ask any
recompense from you for this
(propagation of religion) except
(your) love for (my near)
relatives.’ And whosoever
performs a good deed, so We
further increase goodness in it
for him; indeed, Allah is Most
Forgiving, Most Appreciative.
42:24, Or do they say this; that
‘He (ie. the Beloved Prophet
Muhammad) has fabricated lie
He could set a seal of His Mercy
and protection upon your heart.
And Allah wipes out falsehood
and proves the truth {ie. Islam)
by His Word. Indeed, He knows
what is within the hearts.
42:25. And it is He Who accepts
the repentance of His
bondsmen, and pardons the
sins (of His bondsmen), and
knows whatever you do.
42:26. And He accepts the
supplication of those who
believed and did good deeds, and
by His Benevolence gives them
more reward. And for the
disbelievers is severe punishment.
the sustenance for all of His
bondsmen, they would have
therefore definitely caused
turmoil in the earth, but He sends
down (the sustenance) with a set
measure as much as He wills.
Indeed, He is Well Aware of His
bondmen, He sees them.
42:28. And it is He Who sends
down the rain when they have
given up hope and spreads His
Mercy; and He is the Helper,
the Most Praiseworthy.
42:29. And amongst His signs is
the creation of the heavens and
the earth, and the walking
creatures in them which have
been spread out. And He is
Powerful in gathering them
whenever He wills.
42:30. And whatever calamity
befell you, that is because of
what your hands have earned;
and He pardons much.
42:31. And you cannot escape
from the control (of Allah) in
the earth; and you have neither
a friend nor any helper against
Allah.
42:32. And amongst His signs
are (the ships) sailing on the
sea, like mountains.
42:33. If He wants, He can stop
the winds; that (the ships)
remain still on the surface of it
(ie. the sea). Indeed, in this are
definitely signs for every greatly
patient, greatly thankful one.
42:34. Or He may destroy them
(by drowning them) due to the
sins of people and He may
forgive much.
42:35. And those who dispute
regarding Our verses may
realise that they do not have
any place to escape.
42:36. Whatever you have
received is only beneficial in the
life of this world, and that which
is with Allah is far better and
more lasting for those who
believed and rely upon their Lord.
42:37. And (for) those who
avoid major sins, and
indecencies, and forgive when
they are angry.
42:38. And those who obeyed
the command of their Lord and
kept Salah established, and
whose matters are (decided)
with mutual consultation, and
who spend some in Our Path
from what We have bestowed
upon them.
42:39. And those who, when
they are wronged, take revenge
(accordingly).
42:40. The retribution for an
evil act is an evil equal to
exactly that; so whosoever
forgave and made amends, his
reward is therefore upon (the
responsibility of the Generosity
of) Allah. Indeed, He does not
befriend the unjust.
42:41. And indeed, whosoever
took revenge of him being
oppressed, there is no way of
them being blamed.
42:42. Blame is only for those
who oppress people and
wrongfully spread turmoil in
the land; for them is a painful
punishment.
42:43. And indeed, whosoever
observed patience and forgave,
so these are indeed acts of great
courage.
42:44. And whomever Allah
causes to go astray, there is no
friend for him against Allah;
and you will see the
wrongdoers that when they
will see the punishment, they
will say, Is there any way of
going back?!
42:45. And you will see them
that they are being presented
upon the fire, cowering with
disgrace, looking sneakily. And
the believers will say, ‘Indeed,
ruined are those who have lost
their lives and their families on
the Day of Resurrection.’ Pay
heed! Indeed, the unjust are in
everlasting punishment.
42:46. And they had no friends
to help them against Allah; and
there is no way at all for him
whom Allah causes to go
astray.
42:47, Obey the command of
your Lord before the arrival of
that Day which is not to be
averted from Allah. You will
not have any refuge on that
Day, nor shall there be any
room of denial for you.
42:48, Hence, if they turn away,
so We have not sent you as a
guardian over them; upon you
is nothing but to convey (the
message). And when We let
man taste some mercy from Us,
he rejoices thereof; and if some
harm reaches them as a
recompense of what their
hands have sent ahead, man is
therefore greatly unthankful.
42:49. For only Allah is the
kingship of the heavens and the
earth; He creates whatever He
wills; He may bestow daughters
to whomsoever He wills, and
sons to whomsoever He wills.
42:50. Or may mix them; the
sons and daughters, and may
make infertile whomever He
wills. Indeed, He is All-
Knowing, All-Powerful.
42:51. And it is not appropriate
for any human being that Allah
should speak to him except as a
revelation, or while the human
being is on that side of the veil
of Greatness (of Allah), or He
sends an angel to reveal by His
command whatever He wills.
Indeed, He is All-Supreme, All-
Wise.
42:52. And this is how We sent
the revelation to you (O Beloved);
an entity which gives life (to
faith) by Our command. (Without
Our teaching) before this, neither
did you know the Book nor the
intricate commands (of the
religion), but We have made this
(ie. the Qur’aan) a light by which
We guide whomever We will
from Our bondsmen; and indeed,
you definitely show the Straight
Path (of Islamic Shari’ah).
42:53. The path of Allah, that
only to Him belongs whatever
is in the heavens and whatever
is in the earth. Pay heed! All
matters return to only Allah.
