Ha Mim

A.J.Arberry 41:1

2

A sending down from the Merciful, the Compassionate.

A.J.Arberry 41:2

3

A Book whose signs have been distinguished as an Arabic Koran for a people having knowledge,

A.J.Arberry 41:3

4

good tidings to bear, and warning, but most of them have turned away, and do not give ear.

A.J.Arberry 41:4

5

They say, 'Our hearts are veiled from what thou callest us to, and in our ears is a heaviness, and between us and thee there is a veil; so act; we are acting!'

A.J.Arberry 41:5

6

Say: 'I am only a mortal, like you are. To me it has been revealed that your God is One God; so go straight with Him, and ask for His forgiveness; and woe to the idolaters

A.J.Arberry 41:6

7

who pay not the alms, and disbelieve in the world to come.

A.J.Arberry 41:7

8

Surely those who believe, and do righteous deeds shall have a wage unfailing.'

A.J.Arberry 41:8

9

Say: 'What, do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days, and do you set up compeers to Him? That is the Lord of all Being.

A.J.Arberry 41:9

10

'And He set therein firm mountains over it, and He blessed it, and He ordained therein its diverse sustenance in four days, equal to those who ask.'

A.J.Arberry 41:10

11

Then He lifted Himself to heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth, "Come willingly, or unwillingly!" They said, "We come willingly."

A.J.Arberry 41:11

12

So He determined them as seven heavens in two days, and revealed its commandment in every heaven.'

A.J.Arberry 41:12

13

And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and to reserve; that is the ordaining of the All-mighty, the All-knowing. But if they turn away, then say, 'I warn you of a thunderbolt like to the thunderbolt of Ad and Thamood.'

A.J.Arberry 41:13

14

When the Messengers came unto them from before them and from behind them, saying, 'Serve none but God,' they said, 'Had our Lord willed, surely He would have sent down angels; so we disbelieve in the Message you were sent with.'

A.J.Arberry 41:14

15

As for Ad, they waxed proud in the earth without right, and they said, 'Who is stronger than we in might?' What, did they not see that God, who created them, was stronger than they in might? And they denied Our signs.

A.J.Arberry 41:15

16

Then We loosed against them a wind clamorous in days of ill fortune, that We might let them taste the chastisement of degradation in the present life; and the chastisement of the world to come is even more degrading, and they shall not be helped.

A.J.Arberry 41:16

17

As for Thamood, We guided them, but they preferred blindness above guidance, so the thunderbolt of the chastisement of humiliation seized them for that they were earning.

A.J.Arberry 41:17

18

And We delivered those who believed and were godfearing.

A.J.Arberry 41:18

19

Upon the day when God's enemies are mustered to the Fire, duly disposed,

A.J.Arberry 41:19

20

till when they are come to it, their hearing, their eyes and their skins bear witness against them concerning what they have been doing,

A.J.Arberry 41:20

21

and they will say to their skins, 'Why bore you witness against us?' They shall say, 'God gave us speech, as He gave everything speech. He created you the first time, and unto Him you shall be returned.

A.J.Arberry 41:21

22

Not so did you cover yourselves, that your hearing, your eyes and your skins should not bear witness against you; but you thought that God would never know much of the things that you were working.

A.J.Arberry 41:22

23

That then, the thought you thought about your Lord, has destroyed you, and therefore you find yourselves this morning among the losers.'

A.J.Arberry 41:23

24

Then if they persist, the Fire shall be a lodging for them; and if they ask amends yet no amends shall be made to them.

A.J.Arberry 41:24

25

We have allotted them comrades, and they have decked out fair to them that which is before them and behind them. So against them has been realized the Word concerning nations that passed away before them, men and jinn alike; surely they were losers.

A.J.Arberry 41:25

26

The unbelievers say, 'Do not give ear to this Koran, and talk idly about it; haply you will overcome.

A.J.Arberry 41:26

27

So We shall let the unbelievers taste a terrible chastisement, and shall recompense them with the worst of what they were working.

A.J.Arberry 41:27

28

That is the recompense of God's enemies -- the Fire, wherein they shall have the Abode of Eternity as a recompense, for that they denied Our signs.

A.J.Arberry 41:28

29

And the unbelievers shall say, 'Our Lord, show us those that led us astray, both jinn and men, and we shall set them underneath our feet, that they may be among the lower ones.

A.J.Arberry 41:29

30

Those who have said, 'Our Lord is God.' then have gone straight, upon them the angels descend, saying, 'Fear not, neither sorrow; rejoice in Paradise that you were promised.

A.J.Arberry 41:30
