Ha'. Mim.

A.Maududi 41:1

2

This is a revelation from the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,

A.Maududi 41:2

3

a Book whose verses have been well-expounded; an Arabic Qur'an for those who have knowledge,

A.Maududi 41:3

4

one bearing good news and warning. Yet most of them turned away and are not wont to give heed.

A.Maududi 41:4

5

They say: “Our hearts are securely wrapped up against what you call us to, and in our ears is a heaviness, and between you and us there is a veil. So act; we too are acting.”

A.Maududi 41:5

6

Tell them, (O Prophet): “I am only a human being like you. It is revealed to me that your God is One God; so direct yourselves straight to Him, and seek His forgiveness. Woe to those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity,

A.Maududi 41:6

7

who do not pay Zakah, and who deny the Hereafter.

A.Maududi 41:7

8

As to those who have faith and do good works, surely theirs shall be a never-ending reward.

A.Maududi 41:8

9

Tell them, (O Prophet): “Do you indeed disbelieve in Him and assign compeers to Him Who created the earth in two days? He is the Lord of all beings of the Universe.

A.Maududi 41:9

10

(After creating the earth) He set up firm mountains on it, blessed it, and provided it with sustenance in proportion to the needs of all who seek (sustenance). All this was done in four days.

A.Maududi 41:10

11

Then He turned to the heaven while it was all smoke. He said to the heaven and the earth: “Come (into being), willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “Here we come (into being) in willing obeisance.”

A.Maududi 41:11

12

Then He made them seven heavens in two days and revealed to each heaven its law. And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and firmly secured it. All this is the firm plan of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

A.Maududi 41:12

13

But if they turn away, tell them: “I warn you against a sudden scourge like that which struck Ad and Thamud.”

A.Maududi 41:13

14

When the Messengers (of Allah) came to them from the front and from the rear, saying: “Do not serve any but Allah”; they said: “Had our Lord so willed, He would have sent down angels. So we deny the Message you have brought.”

A.Maududi 41:14

15

As for Ad, they waxed proud in the land without justification and said: “Who is greater than we in strength?” Did they not see that Allah, Who created them, is greater in strength than they? They continued to deny Our Signs,

A.Maududi 41:15

16

whereupon We sent upon them a fierce wind on inauspicious days that We might make them taste a degrading chastisement in the life of this world. And surely the chastisement of the Hereafter is even more degrading. There will be none to help them there.

A.Maududi 41:16

17

As for Thamud, We bestowed guidance upon them, but they preferred to remain blind rather than be guided. At last a humiliating scourge overtook them on account of their misdeeds.

A.Maududi 41:17

18

Yet We delivered those who believed and were God-fearing.

A.Maududi 41:18

19

Imagine the Day when Allah's enemies will be mustered to the Fire, and the people of the former times will be detained until the arrival of people of the later times,

A.Maududi 41:19

20

and when all have arrived, their ears, their eyes, and their skins shall bear witness against them, stating all that they had done in the life of the world.

A.Maududi 41:20

21

They will ask their skins: “Why did you bear witness against us?” The skins will reply: “Allah gave us speech, as He gave speech to all others. He it is Who created you for the first time and it is to Him that you will be sent back.

A.Maududi 41:21

22

When you used to conceal yourselves (while committing misdeeds) you never thought that your ears or your eyes or your skins would ever bear witness against you; you rather fancied that Allah does not know a great deal of what you do.

A.Maududi 41:22

23

This thought of yours about your Lord has led to your perdition and you have become among the losers.”

A.Maududi 41:23

24

In this state, whether they bear with patience (or not), Fire alone shall be their abode. And if they seek to make amends, they will not be allowed to do so.

A.Maududi 41:24

25

We had assigned to them companions who embellished for them all that was before them and behind them. Thus the same decree (of chastisement) which had overtaken the previous generations of jinn and human beings (also) became due against them. Surely they became the losers.

A.Maududi 41:25

26

The deniers of the Truth say: “Do not give ear to the Qur'an and cause interruption when it is recited; thus perhaps you will gain the upper hand.”

A.Maududi 41:26

27

We shall certainly make these unbelievers taste a terrible chastisement and shall fully requite them according to the worst deeds that they committed.

A.Maududi 41:27

28

That is the recompense of the enemies of Allah -- the Fire, their abiding home. That will be the re-compense for their denying Our Signs.

A.Maududi 41:28

29

There the unbelievers will say: “Our Lord, show us those that led us astray, both jinn and humans, and we will trample them under our feet so that they are utterly degraded.”

A.Maududi 41:29

30

Those who say “Allah is our Lord” and then remain steadfast, upon them descend angels (and say): “Do not fear nor grieve, and receive good tidings of Paradise which you were promised.

A.Maududi 41:30
