41:1  Hha. M.

41:2  A revelation from the Almighty, the Merciful.

41:3  A Book whose verses have been detailed; an Arabic Quran for people who know,

41:4  a bearer of good news and a warner. Yet most of them turn away, for they do not hear.

41:5  They said, "Our hearts are sealed from what you invite us to, and there is deafness in our ears, and a barrier stands between us and you. So do what you must do, and so will we."

41:6  Say, "I am only a human being like you. It is inspired to me that your god is but One God, so get yourselves straight before Him and ask Him for forgiveness." Woe to the mushrikeen

41:7  who do not give the Zakat, and they disbelieve in the Hereafter.

41:8  Those who believe and do good deeds shall have an uninterrupted reward.

41:9  Say, "Do you disbelieve in the One who created the earth in two days, and you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of the Worlds."

41:10  And He placed stabilisers therein that rise above it. He blessed it and determined therein its provision, available equally for all who seek it, in four days.

41:11  Then He took hold of the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly."

41:12  So He ordained them seven universes in two days and inspired in every universe its commands. We adorned the lowest universe with lamps and guarded it. Such is the determination of the Dignified, the Knowledgeable.

41:13  If they turn away, then say, "I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of Aad and Thamoud."

41:14  When messengers came to them, before them and after them, saying, "Worship none but God." They said, "Had our Lord willed, He would have brought down angels, and so, we are disbelievers in what you have been sent with."

41:15  As for Aad, they acted arrogantly in the land without any right and said, "Who is more powerful than us?" Did they not see that God who created them is far more powerful than them? They used to reject Our revelations,

41:16  so We sent upon them a howling wind during days of great misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life, yet the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped.

41:17  As for Thamoud, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance. So the thunderbolt of the punishment of humiliation seized them because of what they used to earn,

41:18  and We saved those who believed and used to be reverent.

41:19  On the Day the enemies of God are gathered unto the Fire, they will be driven in ranks.

41:20  Once they reach it, their hearing, their sight and their skins will bear witness against them concerning what they used to do.

41:21  They will say to their skins, "Why did you bear witness against us?" They will say, "God made us speak; the One who made everything speak. He has created you the first time, and to Him, you are returned."

41:22  It was not possible for you to cover yourselves, lest your hearing, your sight or your skins would testify against you! Rather, you thought that God does not know much of what you do.

41:23  That thought of yours about your Lord has brought you to ruin, and so you have become among the losers.

41:24  If they happen to endure patiently, the Fire will still be a home for them. And if they repent, their repentance will not be accepted.

41:25  We assigned to them companions who adorned for them what is before them and what is behind them. They rightly deserved the Word, just like nations of jinn and humans which have passed away before them. Indeed, they were losers.

41:26  Those who disbelieved said, "Do not listen to this Quran, and talk noisily over it so that you may prevail."

41:27  We will certainly let those who disbelieved taste a severe punishment, and We will repay them for the worst of what they used to do.

41:28  Such is the penalty of God's enemies. In the Fire shall be their Eternal Abode as a penalty for how they used to reject Our revelations.

41:29  And those who disbelieved said, "Our Lord, show us those among the jinn and the humans who misguided us, and we will trample them under our feet so they would be among the lowest."

41:30  Those who said, "Our Lord is God," then went straight, the angels descend upon them: "Do not fear nor grieve, but rejoice in the good news of Paradise which you were promised.

41:31  We are your allies in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. You shall have therein whatever your selves desire, and you shall have therein whatever you ask for;

41:32  a hospitality from a Forgiver, Merciful One."

41:33  Who is better spoken than one who invites to God, does good deeds, and says, "I am one of the Submitters"?

41:34  A good deed and a bad deed are not the same. Repel with the good deed, and as a result, the one with whom you had animosity would become as though he was an intimate friend.

41:35  None attains it except those who have been patient, and none attains it except those with extremely good fortune.

41:36  If an evil suggestion is incited to you from the devil, seek refuge in God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.

41:37  And among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon. Prostrate to God who created them if it is Him whom you worship.

41:38  If they act arrogantly, those who are at your Lord glorify Him night and day, and they never grow tired.

41:39  And among His signs is that you see the land still, then if We send down upon it water, it quivers and grows. The One who brought it to life will surely bring the dead back to life. He is Capable of all things.

41:40  Indeed, those who distort Our revelations are not hidden from Us. Is the one to be thrown in the Fire better, or the one who arrives securely on the Day of Resurrection? Do whatever you wish. He is Seer of what you do.

41:41  Indeed, they are the ones who rejected the Reminder when it came to them, and indeed, it is an Honourable Book.

41:42  Falsehood does not touch it in the present or the future. It is a revelation from One who is Wise and Praiseworthy.

41:43  What is being said to you is nothing other than what has been said to the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is Possessor of forgiveness and Possessor of painful punishment.

41:44  If We had made it a Quran in a foreign language, they would have said, "If only its verses were detailed!" Non-Arabic and Arabic, say, "For those who believe, it is guidance and healing, and for those who disbelieve, there is deafness in their ears, and it brings blindness upon them; those are being called from a faraway place."

41:45  And We gave Moses the Book, but differences arose therein. Had it not been for a previous Word from your Lord, judgment would have already been passed over them. Indeed, they are in grave doubt about it.

41:46  Whoever does a good deed, it is for his own good, and whoever commits a sin, it is to his own detriment. Your Lord is not unjust towards the servants.

41:47  The knowledge of the Hour is referred to Him. No fruits emerge from their sheaths, nor does a female conceive or give birth without His knowledge. On the Day He calls out to them, "Where are My partners?" They will say, "We proclaim to You that none of us bears witness."

41:48  And those whom they used to call upon before deserted them, and they realised that for them, there is no escape.

41:49  The human being never tires of imploring for good things, but when adversity touches him, he turns despondent, despairing.

41:50  If We were to let him taste mercy from Us after a hardship that had touched him, he would say, "This is my due, and I do not think that the Hour will come to pass. If I am to be returned to my Lord, there will be good things for me at Him." We will certainly inform those who disbelieved of what they have done, and We will let them taste some of the harsh punishment.

41:51  If We grant the human being a blessing, he turns away and distances himself, yet when adversity touches him, he implores profusely.

41:52  Say, "Have you considered: If it is from God yet you disbelieved in it, who would then be further astray than one who is in vast opposition?"

41:53  We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is Witness over all things?

41:54  Indeed, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Indeed, He is Encompassing of all things.
