45:1  Hha. M.

45:2  The revelation of the Book is from God, the Dignified, the Wise.

45:3  Indeed, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers.

45:4  And in your creation and the creatures that He spread are signs for people who are certain.

45:5  And the alternation of the night and the day, and what God brings down from the sky of provision whereby He brings to life the land after it has died, and the diversifying of the winds, there are signs for people who reason.

45:6  These are God's revelations that We recite to you with truth, so in which hadith other than God and His revelations do they believe?

45:7  Woe to every sinful falsifier

45:8  who hears God's revelations recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he never heard them. So give him news of a painful punishment.

45:9  And if he happens to know any of Our revelations, he makes a mockery of them. Those shall have a humiliating punishment.

45:10  Hell is in their pursuit. What they earned will not avail them in any way, nor will the allies they took besides God. They shall have a great punishment.

45:11  This is guidance, and those who disbelieved in the revelations of their Lord shall have the punishment of a painful affliction.

45:12  God is the One who subjected the sea for you so that the ships would sail in it by His command, and that you may seek of His bounty, and so that hopefully you may give thanks.

45:13  And He subjected for you what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, all from Him. Indeed, in that are signs for people who reflect.

45:14  Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not seek the days of God. He will repay people for what they used to earn.

45:15  Whoever does a good deed, it is for his own good, and whoever commits a sin, it is to his own detriment. Then to your Lord, you will be returned.

45:16  We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, the law, and the prophethood. And We provided them with good provisions and favoured them over all people.

45:17  And We gave them clear commandments. They did not differ except after the knowledge had come to them due to animosity between them. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding that over which they used to differ.

45:18  Then, We set you on a given body of law. So follow it, and do not follow the personal desires of those who do not know.

45:19  They will not avail you in any way against God. The transgressors are allies of one another, while God is the Ally of the reverent.

45:20  These are insights for the people as well as guidance and mercy for people who are certain.

45:21  Or do those who commit bad deeds think that We will treat them as those who believe and do good deeds, whether in their life or in their death? Miserable indeed is their judgment.

45:22  And God created the heavens and the earth with truth so that every self would be repaid for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.

45:23  Have you seen the one who made his personal desire his god and whom God misguided knowingly, sealed his hearing and his heart, and placed a veil over his sight? Who then can guide him after God? Will you not take heed?

45:24  They said, "There is nothing but our worldly life. We die, and we live, and nothing destroys us but time." They have no knowledge of that; they are only guessing.

45:25  When Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say, "Bring back our fathers if you are truthful."

45:26  Say, "God brings you to life, then He puts you to death, then He gathers you together for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most people do not know."

45:27  To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and on the Day the Hour comes to pass, on that Day, the falsifiers will lose.

45:28  And you will see every nation kneeling. Every nation will be called to its Book. "Today, you are repaid for what you used to do.

45:29  This is Our Book uttering the truth about you. We have been recording what you used to do."

45:30  As for those who believe and do good deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the clear triumph.

45:31  And for those who disbelieved: "Were not My revelations recited to you, yet you turned arrogant and were a criminal people?"

45:32  And when it was said, "Indeed, God's promise is truthful, and there is no doubt about the Hour," you said, "We do not know what the Hour is! We think it is nothing but conjecture. We are not certain."

45:33  And the ill effects of what they had done became apparent to them, and the very things they mocked have engulfed them.

45:34  And it was said: "Today We forget you, just as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours. Your refuge is the Fire and you have no supporters.

45:35  This is because you made a mockery of God's revelations and were deluded by the worldly life." So today, they will not be taken out of it, nor will their repentance be accepted.

45:36  So praise be to God, the Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth; Lord of the Worlds.

45:37  All greatness belongs to Him in the heavens and the earth. He is the Dignified, the Wise.
