| 40:1 | | Ha Meem. |
| 40:2 | | (The) revelation (of) the Book (is) from Allah the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. |
| 40:3 | | (The) Forgiver (of) the sin, and (the) Acceptor (of) [the] repentance, severe (in) the punishment, Owner (of) the abundance. (There is) no god except Him; to Him, (is) the final return. |
| 40:4 | | Not dispute concerning (the) Verses (of) Allah except those who disbelieve, so (let) not deceive you their movement in the cities. |
| 40:5 | | Denied before them (the) people (of) Nuh and the factions from after them, and plotted every nation against their Messenger, to seize him, and they disputed by falsehood to refute thereby the truth. So I seized them. Then how was My penalty? |
| 40:6 | | And thus has been justified (the) Word (of) your Lord against those who disbelieved that they (are) companions (of) the Fire. |
| 40:7 | | Those who bear the Throne and who (are) around it glorify (the) praises (of) their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who believe, "Our Lord! You encompass all things (by Your) Mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way and save them (the) punishment (of) the Hellfire. |
| 40:8 | | Our Lord! And admit them (to) Gardens (of) Eden which You have promised them and whoever (was) righteous among their fathers and their spouses and their offspring. Indeed You, You (are) the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. |
| 40:9 | | And protect them (from) the evils. And whoever you protect (from) the evils that Day, then verily You bestowed Mercy on him. And that [it] (is) the success, the great." |
| 40:10 | | Indeed, those who disbelieved will be cried out to them, "Certainly hatred Allah (was) greater than your hatred (of) yourselves when you were called to the faith, and you disbelieved |
| 40:11 | | They (will) say, "Our Lord! You gave us death twice and You gave us life twice, and we confess our sins. So is (there) to get out any way?" |
| 40:12 | | "That (is) because, when was invoked Allah Alone you disbelieved; but if (others) were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgment (is) with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great." |
| 40:13 | | He (is) the One Who shows you His Signs and sends down for you from the sky provision. But (does) not take heed except (one) who turns. |
| 40:14 | | So invoke Allah, (being) sincere to Him (in) the religion, even though dislike (it) the disbelievers. |
| 40:15 | | Possessor of the Highest Ranks, Owner (of) the Throne; He places the inspiration of His Command upon whom He wills of His slaves, to warn (of the) Day (of) the Meeting. |
| 40:16 | | (The) Day they come forth, not is hidden from Allah about them anything. For whom (is) the Dominion this Day? For Allah the One, the Irresistible. |
| 40:17 | | This Day will be recompensed every soul for what it earned. No injustice today! Indeed, Allah (is) Swift (in) Account. |
| 40:18 | | And warn them (of the) Day the Approaching, when the hearts (are) at the throats, choked. Not for the wrongdoers any intimate friend and no intercessor (who) is obeyed. |
| 40:19 | | He knows (the) stealthy glance and what conceal the breasts. |
| 40:20 | | And Allah judges in truth, while those (whom) they invoke from besides Him not they judge with anything. Indeed, Allah - He (is) the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. |
| 40:21 | | Do not they travel in the earth and see how was (the) end (of) those who were before them? from They were [they] superior to them (in) strength and (in) impressions in the land, but seized them Allah for their sins, and not was for them against Allah any protector. |
| 40:22 | | That (was) because [they] used to come to them their Messengers with clear proofs but they disbelieved, So seized them Allah. Indeed, He (is) All-Strong, severe (in) punishment. |
| 40:23 | | And certainly, We sent Musa with Our Signs and an authority clear, |
| 40:24 | | To Firaun, Haman and Qarun, but they said, "A magician, a liar." |
| 40:25 | | Then when he brought to them the truth from Us they said, "Kill (the) sons (of) those who believe with him, and let live their women." And not (is the) plot (of) the disbelievers but in error. |
| 40:26 | | And said Firaun, "Leave me (so that) I kill Musa and let him call his Lord. Indeed, I [I] fear that he will change your religion or that he may cause to appear in the land the corruption." |
| 40:27 | | And said Musa, "Indeed, I [I] seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one not who believes (in the) Day (of) the Account." |
| 40:28 | | And said a man, believing, from (the) family (of) Firaun who conceal(ed) his faith, "Will you kill a man because he says, "My Lord (is) Allah," and indeed he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he is a liar, then upon him (is) his lie; and if he is truthful, (there) will strike you some (of) (that) which he threatens you. Indeed, Allah (does) not guide (one) who [he] (is) a transgressor, a liar. |
| 40:29 | | O my people! For you (is) the kingdom today, dominant in the land, but who will help us from (the) punishment (of) Allah, if it came to us." Said Firaun, "Not I show you except what I see and not I guide you except (to the) path the right." |
| 40:30 | | And said (he) who believed, "O my people! Indeed I, [I] fear for you like (the) day (of) the companies, |
| 40:31 | | Like (the) plight (of the) people (of) Nuh and Aad and Thamud and those from after them. And (does) not Allah want injustice for (His) slaves. |
| 40:32 | | And O my people! Indeed, I [I] fear for you (the) Day (of) Calling, |
| 40:33 | | A Day you will turn back fleeing; not for you from Allah any protector. And whoever lets go astray Allah, then not for him any guide. |
| 40:34 | | And indeed, came to you Yusuf from before with clear proofs, but not you ceased in doubt about what he brought to you [with it], until when he died, you said, "Never will raise Allah from after him a Messenger." Thus, lets go astray Allah who [he] (is) a transgressor, a doubter." |
| 40:35 | | Those who dispute concerning (the) Signs (of) Allah without any authority (having) come to them, (it) is greatly hateful near Allah and near those who believe. Thus sets a seal Allah over every heart (of) an arrogant tyrant." |
| 40:36 | | And said Firaun, "O Haman! Construct for me a tower that I may reach the ways |
| 40:37 | | (The) ways (to) the heavens so I may look at (the) God (of) Musa; and indeed, I [I] surely think him (to be) a liar." And thus was made fair-seeming to Firaun (the) evil (of) his deed, and he was averted from the way. And not (was the) plot (of) Firaun except in ruin. |
| 40:38 | | And said the one who believed, "O my people! Follow me; I will guide you (to the) way, the right. |
| 40:39 | | O my people! Only this, the life (of) the world, (is) enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - it (is the) home, (of) settlement. |
| 40:40 | | Whoever does an evil then not he will be recompensed but (the) like thereof; and whoever does righteous (deeds), of male or female, while he (is) a believer, then those will enter Paradise, they will be given provision in it without account. |
| 40:41 | | And O my people! What (is) for me (that) I call you to the salvation while you call me to the Fire! |
| 40:42 | | You call me that I disbelieve in Allah and (to) associate with Him what not for me of it any knowledge, and I call you to the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving. |
| 40:43 | | No doubt that what you call me to it not for it a claim in the world and not in the Hereafter; and that our return (is) to Allah, and that the transgressors - they (will be the) companions (of) the Fire. |
| 40:44 | | And you will remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah (is) All-Seer of (His) slaves." |
| 40:45 | | So protected him Allah (from the) evils that they plotted, and enveloped (the) people (of) Firaun (the) worst punishment, |
| 40:46 | | The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening. And (the) Day (will be) established the Hour, "Cause to enter (the) people (of) Firaun (in the) severest punishment." |
| 40:47 | | And when they will dispute in the Fire, then will say the weak to those who were arrogant, "Indeed, we [we] were for you followers, so can you avert from us a portion of the Fire?" |
| 40:48 | | Will say those who (were) arrogant, "Indeed, we all (are) in it. Indeed, Allah certainly has judged between (His) slaves" |
| 40:49 | | And will say those in the Fire to (the) keepers (of) Hell, "Call your Lord (to) lighten for us a day of the punishment." |
| 40:50 | | They (will) say, "Did not there come to you your Messengers with clear proofs?" They (will) say, "Yes." They (will) say, "Then call, but not (is the) call (of) the disbelievers except in error." |
| 40:51 | | Indeed We, We will surely help Our Messengers and those who believe in the life (of) the world and (on the) Day (when) will stand the witnesses, |
| 40:52 | | (The) Day not will benefit the wrongdoers their excuse, and for them (is) the curse and for them (is the) worst home. |
| 40:53 | | And certainly, We gave Musa the guidance and We caused to inherit (the) Children (of) Israel the Book, |
| 40:54 | | A guide and a reminder for those (of) understanding. |
| 40:55 | | So be patient; indeed, (the) Promise (of) Allah (is) true. And ask forgiveness for your sin and glorify (the) praise (of) your Lord in the evening and the morning. |
| 40:56 | | Indeed, those who dispute concerning (the) Signs (of) Allah without any authority (which) came to them, not (is) in their breasts but greatness, not they (can) reach it. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed He, He (is) the All-Hearer the All-Seer. |
| 40:57 | | Surely, (the) creation (of) the heavens and the earth (is) greater than (the) creation (of) the mankind, but most (of) the people (do) not know. |
| 40:58 | | And not (are) equal the blind and the seeing and those who believe and do righteous deeds and not the evildoer. Little (is) what you take heed. |
| 40:59 | | Indeed, the Hour (is) surely coming, no doubt in it, but most (of) the people (do) not believe. |
| 40:60 | | And said your Lord, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Indeed, those who (are) proud to worship Me will enter Hell (in) humiliation." |
| 40:61 | | Allah (is) the One Who made for you the night that you may rest in it, and the day giving visibility. Indeed, Allah (is) Full (of) Bounty to the people, but most (of) the people (do) not give thanks. |
| 40:62 | | That (is) Allah your Lord, (the) Creator (of) all things, (there is) no god except Him. So how are you deluded? |
| 40:63 | | Thus were deluded those who were - (the) Signs (of) Allah, rejecting. |
| 40:64 | | Allah (is) the One Who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a canopy and He formed you and perfected your forms, and provided you of the good things. That (is) Allah, your Lord. Then blessed (is) Allah, (the) Lord (of) the worlds. |
| 40:65 | | He (is) the Ever-Living; (there is) no god but He, so call Him, (being) sincere to Him (in) the religion. All praise (be) to Allah, (the) Lord (of) the worlds. |
| 40:66 | | Say, "Indeed, I [I] have been forbidden to worship those whom you call from besides Allah when have come to me the clear proofs from my Lord, and I am commanded to submit to (the) Lord (of) the worlds. |
| 40:67 | | He (is) the One Who created you from dust, then from a semen-drop, then from a clinging substance, then He brings you out (as) a child; then lets you reach your maturity, then lets you become old - and among you (is he) who dies from before - and lets you reach a term specified, and that you may use reason. |
| 40:68 | | He (is) the One Who gives life and causes death. And when He decrees a matter, then only He says to it, "Be," and it is. |
| 40:69 | | Do not you see [to] those who dispute concerning (the) Signs (of) Allah? How they are turned away? |
| 40:70 | | Those who deny the Book and with what We sent with it Our Messengers; but soon they will know. |
| 40:71 | | When the iron collars (will be) around their necks and the chains, they will be dragged, |
| 40:72 | | In the boiling water; then in the Fire they will be burned. |
| 40:73 | | Then it will be said to them, "Where (is) that which you used to associate |
| 40:74 | | From other than Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us. Nay! Not we used to [we] call from before anything." Thus lets go astray Allah the disbelievers. |
| 40:75 | | "That was because you used to rejoice in the earth without right and because you used to be insolent. |
| 40:76 | | Enter (the) gates (of) Hell (to) abide forever in it, and wretched is (the) abode (of) the arrogant." |
| 40:77 | | So be patient; indeed, (the) Promise (of) Allah (is) true. And whether We show you some (of) what We have promised them or We cause you to die, then to Us they will be returned. |
| 40:78 | | And certainly We have sent Messengers from before you. Among them (are) who - We have related to you, and among them (are) who - not We have related to you. And not is for any Messenger that he brings a Sign except by (the) permission (of) Allah. So when comes (the) Command (of) Allah, it will be decided in truth, and will lose there the falsifiers. |
| 40:79 | | Allah (is) the One Who made for you the cattle, that you may ride some of them and some of them you eat. |
| 40:80 | | And for you in them (are) benefits and that you may reach through them a need (that is) in your breasts; and upon them and upon the ships you are carried. |
| 40:81 | | And He shows you His Signs. Then which (of the) Signs (of) Allah will you deny? |
| 40:82 | | Do they not travel through the land and see how was (the) end (of) those who (were) from before them? They were more numerous than them and mightier (in) strength and impressions in the land, but not availed them what they used to earn. |
| 40:83 | | Then when came to them their Messengers with clear proofs they rejoiced in what they had of the knowledge, and enveloped them what they used to [at it] mock. |
| 40:84 | | So when they saw Our punishment they said, "We believe in Allah Alone and we disbelieve in what we used to with Him associate." |
| 40:85 | | But not did benefit them their faith when they saw Our punishment. (Such is the) Way (of) Allah which (has) indeed preceded among His slaves. And are lost there the disbelievers. |
