This Scripture is sent down from God the Mighty, the Wise.

M.A.Haleem 39:1

2

It is We who sent down the Scripture to you (Prophet) with the Truth, so worship God with your total devotion:

M.A.Haleem 39:2

3

true devotion is due to God alone. (As for) those who choose other protectors beside Him, saying, 'We only worship them because they bring us nearer to God,' God Himself will judge between them regarding their differences. God does not guide any ungrateful liar.

M.A.Haleem 39:3

4

God could have chosen any of His creation He willed for offspring, but He is far above this! He is the One, the Almighty.

M.A.Haleem 39:4

5

He created the heavens and earth for a true purpose; He wraps the night around the day and the day around the night; He has subjected the sun and moon to run their courses for an appointed time; He is truly the Mighty, the Forgiving.

M.A.Haleem 39:5

6

He created you all from a single being, from which He made its mate; He gave you four kinds of livestock in pairs; He creates you in your mothers' wombs, in one stage after another, in threefold depths of darkness. Such is God, your Lord; He holds control, there is no god but Him. How can you turn away?

M.A.Haleem 39:6

7

If you are ungrateful, remember God has no need of you, yet He is not pleased by ingrati-tude in His servants; if you are grateful, He is pleased (to see) it in you. No soul will bear another's burden. You will return to your Lord in the end and He will inform you of what you have done: He knows well what is in the depths of (your) hearts.

M.A.Haleem 39:7

8

When man suffers some affliction, he prays to his Lord and turns to Him, but once he has been granted a favour from God, he forgets the One he had been praying to and sets up rivals to God, to make others stray from His path. Say, 'Enjoy your ingratitude for a little while: you will be one of the inhabitants of the Fire.'

M.A.Haleem 39:8

9

What about someone who worships devoutly during the night, bowing down, standing in prayer, ever mindful of the life to come, hoping for his Lord's mercy? Say, 'How can those who know be equal to those who do not know?' Only those who have understanding will take heed.

M.A.Haleem 39:9

10

Say, '(God says), believing servants, be mindful of your Lord! Those who do good in this world will have a good reward- God's earth is wideand those who persevere patiently will be given a full and unstinting reward.'

M.A.Haleem 39:10

11

Say, 'I have been commanded to serve God, dedicating my worship entirely to Him.

M.A.Haleem 39:11

12

I have been commanded to be the first to submit.'

M.A.Haleem 39:12

13

Say, 'I fear the torment of a terrible Day if I disobey my Lord.'

M.A.Haleem 39:13

14

Say, 'It is God I serve, dedicating my worship entirely to Him-

M.A.Haleem 39:14

15

you may serve whatever you please beside Him.' Say, 'The true losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their people on the Day of Resurrection: that is the most obvious loss.

M.A.Haleem 39:15

16

They will have layers of Fire above them and below.' This is how God puts fear into His servants: My servants, beware of Me.

M.A.Haleem 39:16

17

There is good news for those who shun the worship of false gods and turn to God, so (Prophet) give good news to My servants

M.A.Haleem 39:17

18

who listen to what is said and follow what is best. These are the ones God has guided; these are the people of understanding.

M.A.Haleem 39:18

19

What about the one who has been sentenced to punishment? Can you (Prophet) rescue those already in the Fire?

M.A.Haleem 39:19

20

But those who are mindful of their Lord will have lofty dwellings built for them, one above the other, graced with flowing streams. This is a promise from God: God does not break His promise.

M.A.Haleem 39:20

21

Have you not considered that God sends water down from the sky, guides it along to form springs in the earth, and then, with it, brings forth vegetation of various colours, which later withers, turns yellow before your eyes, and is crumbled to dust at His command? There is truly a reminder in this for those who have understanding.

M.A.Haleem 39:21

22

What about the one whose heart God has opened in devotion to Him, so that he walks in light from his Lord? Alas for those whose hearts harden at the mention of God! They have clearly lost their way.

M.A.Haleem 39:22

23

God has sent down the most beautiful of all teachings: a Scripture that is consistent and draws comparisons; that causes the skins of those in awe of their Lord to shiver. Then their skins and their hearts soften at the mention of God: such is God's guidance. He guides with it whoever He will; no one can guide those God leaves to stray.

M.A.Haleem 39:23

24

What about the one who will only have his bare face to protect him from his terrible suffering on the Day of Resurrection? It will be said to the evildoers, 'Taste what you have earned.'

M.A.Haleem 39:24

25

Others before them also disbelieved, and the punishment fell on them unawares:

M.A.Haleem 39:25

26

God gave them the punishment of disgrace in this world to taste; the punishment will be even harder in the Hereafter, if only they knew.

M.A.Haleem 39:26

27

In this Quran, We have put forward all kinds of illustration for people, so that they may take heed-

M.A.Haleem 39:27

28

an Arabic Quran, free from any distortion- so that people may be mindful.

M.A.Haleem 39:28

29

God puts forward this illustration: can a man who has for his masters several partners at odds with each other be considered equal to a man devoted wholly to one master? All praise belongs to God, though most of them do not know.

M.A.Haleem 39:29

30

You (Prophet) will certainly die, and so will they,

M.A.Haleem 39:30
