Ha Mim

A.J.Arberry 43:1

2

By the Clear Book,

A.J.Arberry 43:2

3

behold, We have made it an Arabic Koran; haply you will understand;

A.J.Arberry 43:3

4

and behold, it is in the Essence of the Book, with Us; sublime indeed, wise.

A.J.Arberry 43:4

5

Shall We turn away the Remembrance from you, for that you are a prodigal people?

A.J.Arberry 43:5

6

How many a Prophet We sent among the ancients,

A.J.Arberry 43:6

7

but not a Prophet came to them, without they mocked at him;

A.J.Arberry 43:7

8

so We destroyed men stronger in valour than they, and the example of the ancients passed away.

A.J.Arberry 43:8

9

If thou askest them, 'Who created the heavens and earth?' they will say, 'The All-mighty, the All-knowing created them.'

A.J.Arberry 43:9

10

He who appointed the earth to be a cradle for you, and appointed ways for you therein, that haply you may be guided;

A.J.Arberry 43:10

11

and who sent down out of heaven water in measure; and We revived thereby a land that was dead; even so you shall be brought forth;

A.J.Arberry 43:11

12

and who created the pairs, all of them, and appointed for you ships and cattle such as you ride,

A.J.Arberry 43:12

13

that you may be seated on their backs and then remember your Lord's blessing when you are seated on them, and say, 'Glory be to Him, who has subjected this to us, and we ourselves were not equal to it;

A.J.Arberry 43:13

14

surely unto our Lord we are turning.'

A.J.Arberry 43:14

15

Yet they have assigned to Him a part of His own servants! Man is dearly unthankful.

A.J.Arberry 43:15

16

Or has He taken to Himself, from that He creates, daughters, and favoured you with sons?

A.J.Arberry 43:16

17

And when any of them is given the good tidings of that he has likened to the All-merciful, his face is darkened, and he chokes inwardly.

A.J.Arberry 43:17

18

What, one who is reared amid ornaments and, when the time of altercation comes, is not to be seen?

A.J.Arberry 43:18

19

And they have made the angels, who are themselves servants of the All-merciful, females. What, did they witness their creation? Their witness shall be written down, and they shall be questioned.

A.J.Arberry 43:19

20

They say, 'Had the All-merciful so willed, we would not have served them.' They have no knowledge of that; they are only conjecturing.

A.J.Arberry 43:20

21

Or did We bring them a Book aforetime to which they hold?

A.J.Arberry 43:21

22

Nay, but they say, 'We found our fathers upon a community, and we are guided upon their traces.'

A.J.Arberry 43:22

23

Even so We sent never before thee any warner into any city, except that its men who lived at ease said, 'We indeed found our fathers upon a community, and we are following upon their traces.'

A.J.Arberry 43:23

24

Say: 'What, though I should bring you a better guidance than you found your fathers upon?' They say, 'We disbelieve in that you were sent with.'

A.J.Arberry 43:24

25

So We took vengeance upon them; and behold how was the end of them that cried lies.

A.J.Arberry 43:25

26

And when Abraham said to his father and his people, 'Surely I am quit of that you serve,

A.J.Arberry 43:26

27

except Him who originated me; and He will guide me.

A.J.Arberry 43:27

28

And he made it a word enduring among his posterity; haply so they would return.

A.J.Arberry 43:28

29

Nay, but I gave these and their fathers enjoyment of days, until the truth came unto them, and a manifest Messenger.

A.J.Arberry 43:29

30

And when the truth came to them, they said, 'This is a sorcery, and in it we are unbelievers.'

A.J.Arberry 43:30
