41. REVELATIONS WELL EXPOUNDED

(FUSSILAT)

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1 Ha Mim

2 A revelation from [God], the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful—3 a Book whose revelations are well expounded, an Arabic Quran for people who possess knowledge, 4 proclaiming good news and a warning. Yet most of them turn away and so do not listen.

5 And they say, ‘Our hearts are encased against that to which you call us, and there is a heaviness in our ears, and there is a barrier between us, so do as you will and so shall we.’a

6 Say, ‘I am only a human being like yourselves. It has been revealed to me that your God is One God. So take the straight path to Him and ask His forgiveness.’ Woe to those who associate others with Him, 7 who do not pay the zakat, and who deny the Hereafter.

8 ‘The ones who believe and perform good deeds shall have a reward which will never be withheld from them.’b

9 Say, ‘What! Do you indeed deny Him who created the earth in two Days [periods] and do you set up equals with Him? He is the Lord of the Universe.’

10 He placed firm mountains on the earth, and blessed it. He measured out its means of sustenance all in four Days; this is for those who ask for it.

11 Then He turned to heaven when it was vapour and said to it and to the earth, ‘Come willingly or unwillingly.’ They both said, ‘We come willingly,’ 12 and in two Days He formed seven heavens, and revealed to each heaven its functions; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant lamps [stars] and guarded it. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All Knowing.c

13 If they turn away, then say, ‘I warn you of a lightning-bolt like the one which struck the ‘Ad and the Thamud: 14 when the messengers came to them from before them and behind them, saying, “Worship none but God!” They said, “If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down angels [to us]. Therefore, we shall never believe in your message.”’

15 As for the tribe of ‘Ad, they behaved arrogantly in the land without any justification and said, ‘Who is mightier than we in power?’ Did they not see that God, who created them, was mightier than they in power? Still they continued to deny Our signs, 16 so We let loose upon them a raging wind over several inauspicious days,d so that We might make them taste the torment of humiliation in the life of this world, and surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more humiliating. They shall have none to help them.

17 As for the Thamud We offered them Our guidance, but they preferred blindness to guidance. So the lightning-bolt of the punishment of humiliation seized them on account of their misdeeds.

18 We saved those who had attained to faith and were God-fearing.

19 On the Day that the enemies of God
