| 43:1 | | H. M. (Ha. Mim. |
| 43:2 | | By the clear (and clarifying) book |
| 43:3 | | Indeed We made it an Arabic Quran so that you may understand |
| 43:4 | | And it is indeed in the main book with Us, (and it is) outstanding and wise |
| 43:5 | | Should We take the reminder away from you, ignoring you because you are excessive people |
| 43:6 | | And how many prophets did We send among the earlier ones |
| 43:7 | | And no prophet came to them, unless they were ridiculing him |
| 43:8 | | So We destroyed more courageous (and more powerful people) than them, and the example of the earlier ones passed by |
| 43:9 | | And if you ask them: who created the skies and the earth? They shall say: the powerful and the knowledgeable created them |
| 43:10 | | The One who made the earth a bed for you and He made roadways for you in it so that you may be guided (and find your way) |
| 43:11 | | And the One who sent down rain from the sky with (proper) measure, then We brought dead land back to life with it. That is how you are brought out |
| 43:12 | | And the One who created pairs of everything, and made the ships and the livestock for you to ride |
| 43:13 | | So that you settle on its back, then when you are settled on it remember the favor of your Master and say: glory to the One (who is flawless) who brought this under our control (to be of service to us) while we were not capable of it |
| 43:14 | | And we certainly return to our Master |
| 43:15 | | And they made a part (an offspring) for Him from His servants. Indeed the human being is clearly ungrateful |
| 43:16 | | Did He take daughters (for Himself) from what He creates, and He chose sons for you |
| 43:17 | | And when one of them is given good news of what he assigns to the beneficent, his face turns dark (and shameful) while he holds back his anger |
| 43:18 | | Or (do they assign to God) someone who is raised in luxury, and who is unclear in the debate |
| 43:19 | | And they made the angels, those who are servants of the beneficent, females! Did they witness their creation? Their testimony is going to be written down and they will be questioned |
| 43:20 | | And they said: if the beneficent wanted, we would not have served them. They have no knowledge of that, they only guess |
| 43:21 | | Or did We give them a book before it, which they are adhering to it |
| 43:22 | | No, but they said: we found our fathers on a course, and we are guided by their footsteps |
| 43:23 | | And the same way, We did not send any town anyone as a warner before you, unless its rich (and wealthy) said: we found our fathers on a course, and we are following their footsteps |
| 43:24 | | He (the warner) said: even if I have brought you a better guidance than what you found your fathers upon it? They said: we disbelieve in what you were sent with it |
| 43:25 | | Then We took revenge from them, so see what the end of those who denied was |
| 43:26 | | And (remember) when Abraham told his father and his people: I am free of what you serv |
| 43:27 | | except the One who created me, indeed He is going to guide me |
| 43:28 | | And he made it a lasting word among his descendants so that they may return (to God) |
| 43:29 | | No, but I made these and their fathers enjoy until the truth and a clarifying messenger came to them |
| 43:30 | | And when the truth came to them, they said: this is a magic and we are disbelievers in it |
| 43:31 | | And they said: why this Quran was not sent down to a great man from the two towns (Mecca and Taif) |
| 43:32 | | Do they divide up (and distribute) your Master’s mercy? We divided their livelihood (and wealth) between them in this world’s life. And We raised some of them above the others in ranks so that some of them take the others into service. And your Master’s mercy is better than what they accumulate |
| 43:33 | | And if it was not that the people would become a single community (of disbelievers), We would have made houses, for anyone who disbelieves in the beneficent, with silver roofs and (silver) ladders to go up on it |
| 43:34 | | and (silver) doors for their houses and (silver) couches that they lean on it |
| 43:35 | | and (gold) ornament. And all that is only an enjoyment of this world’s life while the hereafter with your Master is for those who control themselves |
| 43:36 | | And anyone who is blind about remembrance of the beneficent, We appoint a devil to him to be close to him |
| 43:37 | | and indeed they shall obstruct them from the (right) way, and they think they are guided |
| 43:38 | | Until when he comes to Us, saying: I wish there was distance of the two easts (the east and the west) between you (the appointed devil) and me, what a bad companion |
| 43:39 | | And (you regret) never benefits you today, since you did wrong, indeed you are partners in the punishment |
| 43:40 | | Can you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind and anyone who is in an obvious error |
| 43:41 | | So if We take you away (from this world), then indeed We take revenge from them |
| 43:42 | | Or (if) We show you that which We promised them, then We indeed have power over them (to do that) |
| 43:43 | | So hold on to that which We revealed to you, indeed you are on a straight path |
| 43:44 | | And indeed it (Quran) is a reminder for you and for your people, and you will be questioned |
| 43:45 | | And ask (the followers of) Our messengers whom We sent before you: did We appoint any gods to be served other than the beneficent? |
| 43:46 | | And We have certainly sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his assembly, then he said: I am a messenger from the Master of Human kind |
| 43:47 | | But when he brought them Our miracles, they laughed at it |
| 43:48 | | And We did not show them any miracle unless it was bigger than its sister (the one before it). And We took them with the punishment so that they may return |
| 43:49 | | And they said: magician, call on your Master for us according to His agreement with you, as we are indeed guided |
| 43:50 | | But when We removed the punishment from them, they immediately broke (their promise) |
| 43:51 | | And Pharaoh called out among his people, saying: my people, does not the rule of Egypt belong to me as do these rivers flowing underneath me? Do you not see |
| 43:52 | | Am I not better than this one who is despicable and cannot express (himself) clearly? |
| 43:53 | | So why bracelets of gold were not given to him or the angels did not come accompanying him |
| 43:54 | | Then he belittled his people and they obeyed him. Indeed they were disobedient people |
| 43:55 | | So when they enraged Us, We took revenge from them and drowned them all |
| 43:56 | | So We made them a thing of the past and an example for the later ones |
| 43:57 | | And when the son of Mary (Jesus) was given as an example, your people turned away from it (laughing and shouting) |
| 43:58 | | And they said: are our gods better or is he? They only gave you (this example) to argue. No, but they are argumentative people |
| 43:59 | | He (Jesus) was only a servant whom We favored upon him and We made him an example for children of Israel |
| 43:60 | | And if We wanted, We would have made some of you angels on the earth, to succeed you |
| 43:61 | | And it is certainly an indication of the hour, so do not doubt it, and follow Me. This is a straight path |
| 43:62 | | And do not let Satan hold you up, as he is indeed your clear enemy |
| 43:63 | | And when Jesus brought the clear proofs, he said: I have certainly brought you the wisdom to clarify for you some of that which you disagree about it, so be cautious of God and obey me |
| 43:64 | | Indeed God is He who is my Master and your Master, so serve Him. This is a straight path |
| 43:65 | | But the parties disagreed among themselves, so woe to those who did wrong from punishment of a painful day |
| 43:66 | | Do they wait (for anything) except the hour to come to them suddenly, while they do not realize |
| 43:67 | | On that day, the friends are enemy of each other except those who controlled themselves |
| 43:68 | | My servants, there is no fear for you today, and you will not be sad |
| 43:69 | | Those who believed in Our signs and were submitted |
| 43:70 | | you and your spouses enter the garden, being delighted |
| 43:71 | | Golden plates and drinking glasses are circulated for them, and whatever the soul desires and pleases the eyes is in there, and you remain in it foreve |
| 43:72 | | And this is the garden that you are made to inherit because of what you were doing |
| 43:73 | | There are plenty of fruits for you to eat in it |
| 43:74 | | Indeed the guilty ones remain in the punishment of hell forever |
| 43:75 | | It is not reduced for them and they are hopeless in it |
| 43:76 | | We did not wrong them, but they were the wrongdoers |
| 43:77 | | And they call out: master (of hell), have your Master finish us off. He says: indeed you are staying |
| 43:78 | | We have certainly brought you the truth, but most of you dislike the truth |
| 43:79 | | Or did they firmly settle on an issue, then indeed We are firmly settled too |
| 43:80 | | Or do they think that We do not hear their secret and their whisper? Yes (We hear them), and Our messengers are with them writing |
| 43:81 | | Say: if there was a child for the beneficent, then I would be the first of the servants. |
| 43:82 | | Master of the skies and the earth, Master of the throne is flawless (and beyond) what they describe |
| 43:83 | | So leave them talk uselessly and play until they meet their day which they are promised |
| 43:84 | | And He is the One who is god in the skies and god in the earth, and He is the wise, the knowledgeable |
| 43:85 | | And blessed is the One that the rule of the skies and the earth and whatever between them belongs to Him, and the knowledge of the hour is with Him, and you are returned to Him |
| 43:86 | | And those you call on besides Him have no power of the mediation, except whoever testifies with the truth, and they know (the truth) |
| 43:87 | | And if you ask them who created them? They shall say: God. So how do they deviate |
| 43:88 | | And his saying was: my Master, indeed these people do not believe |
| 43:89 | | (God said:) so pardon/ignore them and say peace (and well-being), they will know |
