Ha, Miim. (These are the names of letters of the Arabic alphabet, and only Allah knows their meaning here)
2
And, (by) the evident Book,
3
Surely We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that possibly you would consider;
4
And surely it is in the Mother (i.e., the Essence; the preserved tablet) of the Book, close to Us, indeed ever-exalted, ever-wise.
5
Shall We then strike away the Remembrance (i.e., take away the Qur'an from you) from you, pardoning, for that you are an extravagant people?
6
And how many a Prophet We sent among the earliest (people),
7
And in no way did a Prophet come up to them, except that they used to mock at him.
8
So We caused to perish (people) more valiant in assault than they, and the similitude of the earliest (people) has passed away.
9
And indeed in case you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" Indeed they will definitely say, "The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Knowing created them."
10
(He) Who made the earth to be a cradle for you and made ways for you therein that possibly you would be guided.
11
And Who has been sending down from the heaven water with determined estimate; so We have made to rise again thereby a deceased country; thus you will be brought out.
12
And Who created the pairs, all of them, and made for you of the ships and the cattle (ÉAncan includes cattle, camels, sheep and goats) (some) that you ride,
13
That you may level yourselves (i.e., sit) on their backs. Thereafter you remember the favor of your Lord when you have leveled yourselves on them, and say, All Extolment be to Him Who has subjected this to us, and in no way could we be ascribing comrades to Him.
14
And surely to our Lord We are indeed turning over." (i.e., returning)
15
And they have made up for Him a portion of His bondmen! (i.e., associates with Him) Surely man is indeed evidently a constant disbeliever.
16
Or even has He taken to Him, from what He creates, daughters and has elected for you (only) sons?
17
And when one of them is given the good tidings of what he struck (i.e., cited) as a likeness to The All-Merciful, (i.e., he is given the news of the birth of a daughter) his face lingers blackened, and he is constantly repressing anguish inwardly.
18
Is he who is brought up amid ornaments and in adversariness is without (demonstrable) evidence (to be associated with Allah)?
19
And they have made the Angels, who are the bondmen of The All-Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be written down, and they will be questioned (about it).
20
And they have said, "If The All-Merciful had (so) decided, in no way would we have worshiped them." In no way do they have any knowledge of that; decidedly they are (doing nothing) except conjecturing.
21
Or even have We brought them a Book even before it, (The Qur'an) so that they are upholding it fast.?
22
No indeed, (but) they have said, "Surely we found our fathers upon a course, (Literally: a nation: a community; following a leadership or a religion) and surely we are guided upon their tracks."
23
And thus in no way did We send even before you any warner into a town, except that its (population) living in ease and luxury said, "Surely we found our fathers upon a course (Literally: a nation; a community; following a leadership pr a religion) and surely we are emulating (them) upon their tracks."
24
He said, " (Even) if I should come to you with a better guidance than you found your fathers upon?" They said, "Surely we are disbelievers in what you have been sent with."
25
Then We took vengeance upon them; so look into how was the end of the beliers.
26
And as Ibrahim (Abraham) said to his father and his people, "Surely I (myself) am completely quit of whatever you worship
27
Except Him Who originated me; so surely He will soon guide me."
28
And he made it a word enduring among his posterity that possibly they would return.
29
No indeed, (but) I made these and their fathers enjoy (life) until the Truth came to them and an evident Messenger.
30
And as soon as the Truth came to them, they said, "This is a sorcery, and surely in it we are disbelievers."
