Allah’s Name to commence with, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
45:1. HaMeem. (These individual letters of the Arabic alphabet; Allah and His Messenger know their exact meanings.)
45:2. The sending down of the Book (i.e. the Qur’aan) is from Allah, the Honourable, the Wise.
45:3. Indeed, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers.
45:4. And in your creation, and whichever animals He scatters in the earth; in them are signs for the people of certainty.
45:5. And in the alternation of the night and the day, and in this that Allah sends down rain from the sky as a means of sustenance, so with it, He gave life to the earth after its death, and in the revolving around of the winds; (in all of these) are signs for the people of intellect.
45:6. These are the verses of Allah that We recite upon you with the truth; then leaving Allah and His verses, what will they believe in?
45:7. Ruin is for every great slandering sinner.
45:8. (Who) hears the verses of Allah which are recited to him, then remains stubborn, displaying arrogance, as if he did not hear them; therefore, give him the good news of a painful punishment.
45:9. And when he comes to know about any of Our verses, he mocks them; for them is a disgraceful punishment.
45:10. Hell is after them, and what they have earned will not benefit them at all, and nor those whom they had taken as helpers other than Allah; and for them is great punishment.
45:11. This (ie. the Qur’aan) shows the (right) path; and those who disbelieved in the verses of their Lord, for them is the severest punishment from the most painful punishment.
45:12. It is Allah Who has subjected the sea for you, that ships may sail upon it by His command, and for this reason; that you seek His benevolence (i.e. sustenance), and in order that you may be grateful.
45:13. And (He) has made whatever is in the heavens and in the earth subservient to you by His command, indeed, in these are signs for the people who ponder.
45:14. Tell the believers (O Beloved), overlook those who do not hope for the days (in which comes upon them the punishment) of Allah, in order that Allah may reward a nation for what they used to earn.
45:15. Whosoever does a good deed, so it is for his own good; and whoever commits an evil deed, so it is for his own harm; you will then be returned towards your Lord.
45:16. And indeed, We bestowed upon the Children of Israel the Book (ie. the Tawrah), and sovereignty, and Prophethood, and gave pure things for sustenance to them and exalted them over all.
45:17. And We gave them clear proofs regarding this matter (of their religion); so, they did not differ but after this, that the knowledge had come to them due to mutual jealousy. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning the matter wherein they differ.
45:18. We then set you (O Beloved) on the clear path in this matter (i.e. the religion); therefore, continue following it and do not follow the desires of the ignorant.
45:19. Indeed, they cannot benefit you at all against Allah; and indeed, the unjust are friends of each other; and Allah is the Friend of those who fear.
45:20. This {i.e. the Qur’aan) is an eye-opener for the people, and guidance and mercy for those who believe.
45:21. Do those who have committed evil assume this; that We will make them equal to those who have believed and done good deeds, (and) that would the life and the death of these (pious people) be equal to those (evil people)? What an evil judgement they pass.
45:22. And Allah has created the heavens and the earth with the truth, and in order that every soul is repaid for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.
45:23. Just look at him who made his desire as his god, and Allah caused him to go astray despite his knowledge, and set a seal upon his ears and his heart, and a covering upon his eyes; so, who would guide him after Allah? So, do you not ponder?
45:24. And they said, ‘There is nothing except our worldly life, (in which) we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except time.’ And they do not have any knowledge of this, they make mere speculations.
45:25. And when Our clear verses are recited to them, so their only argument is that they say, ‘Bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful.’
45:26. Say you (O Beloved), ‘It is Allah Who gives you life, then will cause you to die, then will gather you all on the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt, but most people know not.’
45:27. And only to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and when the Day of Resurrection is established, on that Day is loss for the followers of falsehood.
45:28. And you will see every group down on its knees; every group will be called towards its book of deeds (and it will be said to them), ‘This Day you will be repaid for what you did.’
45:29. ‘This Book of Ours speaks the truth against you; We had been recording whatever you did.’
45:30. So, those who believed and did good deeds, their Lord will admit them into His Mercy; only this is very clear victory.
45:31. And to those who disbelieved, it will be said to them, ‘Was it not that Our verses were recited (to you)? So, you were arrogant, and you were a criminal people.’
45:32. And when it is said, ‘Indeed, the promise of Allah is true and there is no doubt regarding the Day of Resurrection.’ You say, ‘We do not know what the Day of Resurrection is, we think of it as some vague idea, and we have no certainty.’
45:33. And the evils of their deeds appeared to them, and the punishment which they used to mock surrounded them.
45:34. And it will be said, ‘This Day We shall leave you just like you had forgotten the confronting of this Day of yours, and your abode is the Fire, and you do not have any helper.’
45:35. ‘This is because you mocked the signs of Allah, and the worldly life deceived you.’ So, this Day they are not to be brought out from the Fire, and nor will they be asked (to do something) to please (Allah).
45:36. So, all praise is due only to Allah; the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of all the worlds.
45:37. And only for Him is the Greatness in the heavens and in the earth; and only He is the Most Honourable, the Wise.
