Ha Mim

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This Scripture is sent down from God, the Almighty, the All Knowing,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Forgiver of sins and Accepter of repentance, severe in punishment, infinite in bounty. There is no god but Him; to Him is the ultimate return.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is only the disbelievers who dispute God’s revelations. [Prophet], do not be dazzled by their movements back and forth across the land.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Before them the people of Noah rejected the truth and so did those who formed opposition after them: every community schemed to destroy its messenger and strove to refute truth with falsehood; but it was I who destroyed them. How terrible My punishment was!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

In this way your Lord’s sentence was passed against the disbelievers that they would be the inhabitants of the Fire.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those who surround it celebrate the praise of their Lord and have faith in Him. They beg forgiveness for the believers: ‘Our Lord, You embrace all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who turn to You and follow Your path. Save them from the pains of Hell

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and admit them, Lord, to the lasting Gardens You have promised to them, together with their righteous ancestors, spouses, and offspring: You alone are the Almighty, the All Wise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Protect them from all evil deeds: those You protect on that Day from [the punishment for] evil deeds will receive Your mercy- that is the supreme triumph.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But those who disbelieved will be told, ‘When you were called to the faith and rejected it, God’s disgust with you was even greater then than the self-disgust you feel [today].’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They will say, ‘Our Lord, twice You have caused us to be lifeless and twice You have brought us to life. Now we recognize our sins. Is there any way out?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[They will be told], ‘This is all because when God alone was invoked you rejected this, yet when others were associated with Him you believed [in them].’ Judgement belongs to God the Most High, the Most Great.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who shows you [people] His signs and sends water down from the sky to sustain you, though only those who turn to God will take heed.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

So call upon God and dedicate your religion to Him alone, however hateful this may be to the disbelievers:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He is exalted in rank, the Lord of the Throne. He sends revelations with His teachings to whichever of His servants He will, in order to warn of the Day of Meeting,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

the Day when they will come out and nothing about them will be concealed from God. ‘Who has control today?’ ‘God, the One, the All Powerful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Today each soul will be rewarded for whatever it has done; today no injustice will be done. God is swift in reckoning.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Warn them [Prophet] of the ever-approaching Day, when hearts are at throats, choking them. The evildoer will have no friends, nor any intercessor to be heeded.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

God is aware of the most furtive of glances, and of all that hearts conceal:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

God will judge with truth, while those they invoke besides Him will not judge at all. God is the All Hearing, the All Seeing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
