43:1  Ha.Mim.

43:2  By the clear Book.

43:3  Indeed We, We made it an Arabic Quran perhaps you may become intelligent.

43:4  And indeed, it is in the mother of the Book with Us, surely high, wise.

43:5  Shall We then turn away from you the reminder, overlooking that you are extravagant people?

43:6  And how many a prophet have We sent among the former people?

43:7  And no prophet comes to them except they used to mock him;

43:8  Then We destroyed stronger than them in might; and the similitude of the former people has passed away.

43:9  And surely, if you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ They will surely, definitely say, 'The Mighty, the Knowing created them.'

43:10  The one who made the earth a bed for you, and made ways for you in it, perhaps you may be guided;

43:11  And the one who sent down water from the heaven by measure; then with it We quickened a dead country; thus you will be brought forth;

43:12  And the one who created the pairs, all of them; and made for you of the ships and the cattle what you ride,

43:13  That you may settle yourselves on its backs, then remember the favour of your Lord when you have settled yourselves on it, and say, 'Glory be to the one who subjected this to us; and we were not able to do it.

43:14  And indeed, we are surely returning to our Lord.'

43:15  And they made for Him a portion of His servants; indeed, man is surely clearly ungrateful.

43:16  Or He took daughters from what He created, and He chose the sons for you.

43:17  And when one of them is given glad tidings of what he strikes as a similitude for the Merciful, his face becomes black and he is repressed.

43:18  And is he who is brought up among the ornaments, and he in the altercation is not clear?

43:19  And they have made the angels, those who they are servants of the Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Soon their testimony will be written down, and they will be questioned;

43:20  And they say, 'Had the Merciful willed, we would not have served them.' They have no knowledge of that, they do not except lie.

43:21  Or We gave them a book before it, so they are holding fast to it.

43:22  Nay, they said, 'Indeed we, we found our forefathers upon a religion, and indeed, we are guided upon their footsteps.'

43:23  And thus We sent not a warner before you in a town except its affluent ones said, 'Indeed we, we found our forefathers upon a religion, and indeed, we are upon their footsteps, following.'

43:24  He said, 'Even if I come to you with better guidance than what you found your forefathers upon?' They said, 'Indeed, we disbelieve in what you are sent with.'

43:25  Then We took vengeance on them, then see how was the end of those who say it is a lie.

43:26  And when Abraham said to his father and his people, 'Indeed, I am free of what you serve

43:27  Except the one who originated me; and indeed He, soon He will guide me:'

43:28  And he made it a remnant word among his posterity, perhaps they may return.

43:29  Nay, I gave enjoyment to these and their forefathers until the truth came to them, and a clear messenger.

43:30  And when the truth came to them they said, 'This is magic, and indeed, we disbelieve in it.'

43:31  And they said, 'If only this, the Quran, was sent down on a great man from the two towns.'

43:32  Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We, We distributed between them their livelihood in the worldly life, and We raised some of them degrees above some, that some of them may take some in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they collect.

43:33  And if not that mankind would become one nation, Surely, We would have made for he who disbelieves in the Merciful, for their houses roofs of silver, and stairways upon which they mount;

43:34  And doors to their houses, and couches upon which they recline;

43:35  And gold. And all that is not except a provision of the worldly life, and the hereafter with your Lord is for those who fear.

43:36  And he who turns away from the reminder of the Merciful, We appoint for him a devil, then he is for him a companion;

43:37  And indeed they, surely they hinder them from the way, and they think that they are guided;

43:38  Until when he comes to Us he says, 'O would that between me and you there was the distance of the two easts.’ And evil is the companion.

43:39  And it will not profit you today, since you did wrong; that you are co-partners in the punishment.

43:40  Then can you make the deaf hear or guide the blind and he who is in clear error?

43:41  And whether We definitely make you pass away, then indeed, We will take vengeance on them;

43:42  Or We definitely show you that which We have promised them; then indeed, We are powerful over them.

43:43  So hold fast to that which has been inspired to you; indeed, you are on a straight way.

43:44  And indeed, it is surely a reminder for you and for your people; and soon you will be questioned.

43:45  And ask who We sent before you among Our messengers: Did We make gods to be served besides the Merciful?

43:46  And surely, certainly We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said, 'Indeed, I am a messenger of the Lord of the worlds;'

43:47  Then when he came to them with Our signs, behold, they laughed at them.

43:48  And We showed them not a sign except it was greater than its sister; and We seized them with the punishment, perhaps they may return.

43:49  And they said, 'O magician! Call on your Lord for us by what He has covenanted with you, indeed, we are surely guided.'

43:50  Then when We removed the punishment from them, behold, they broke their covenant.

43:51  And Pharaoh proclaimed among his people; he said, 'O my people! Is the kingdom of Egypt not for me, and these, the rivers flowing beneath me? So do you not see?

43:52  Or am I better than this, the one who he is contemptible, and almost does not speak clearly?

43:53  So if only bracelets of gold were thrown upon him, or the angels came with him, accompanying.'

43:54  And he taught his people levity; and they obeyed him; indeed, they were disobedient people.

43:55  Then when they angered Us, We took vengeance on them, and We drowned them all together,

43:56  And We made them a precedent and a similitude to the later people.

43:57  And when the son of Mary was struck as a similitude, behold, your people turned away from it.

43:58  And they said, 'Are our gods better, or is he?' They struck it not for you except in disputation; nay, they are disputatious people.

43:59  He is not except a servant, We bestowed favour upon him, and We made him a similitude for the children of Israel.

43:60  And had We willed, surely We would have made among you angels in the earth to succeed.

43:61  And indeed, it is surely knowledge for the Hour; so definitely do not doubt it, and follow Me, this is a straight way;

43:62  And definitely do not let the devil hinder you; indeed, he is a clear enemy to you.

43:63  And when Jesus came with the clear proofs, he said, 'Certainly, I came to you with wisdom, and that I make clear to you some of that concerning which you disagree; so fear God and obey me;

43:64  Indeed, God, He is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him, this is a straight way.'

43:65  Then the parties disagreed between them; and woe to those who did wrong from a punishment of a painful day.

43:66  Do they wait except for the Hour, that it comes upon them suddenly, while they do not perceive?

43:67  Friends on that day some of them will be an enemy to some, except those who fear.

43:68  O My servants! There is no fear on you today; and you will not you grieve,

43:69  Those who believed in Our signs and used to submit.

43:70  Enter into the Garden, you and your spouses, joyful.

43:71  Dishes of gold and cups will be passed around them; and in it is what the souls desire and delights the eyes, and you will dwell forever in it;

43:72  And that is the Garden which you were made to inherit for what you used to do.

43:73  For you in it is much fruit; you will eat of it.

43:74  Indeed, the sinners are in the punishment of Hell to dwell forever.

43:75  It will not abate from them, and they will despair in it.

43:76  And We wronged them not, but they, they were the wrongdoers.

43:77  And they called, 'O Malik! Let your Lord finish us.' He said, 'Indeed, you will tarry.'

43:78  Surely, certainly We came to you with the truth, but most of you are averse to the truth.

43:79  Or they have arranged an affair, then indeed, We are arrangers.

43:80  Or they think that We do not hear their secret and their secret discourse. Nay, and Our messengers are with them writing down.

43:81  Say, 'If there was a son for the Merciful, then I would be the first of the servants.'

43:82  Glory be to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the throne, from what they describe.

43:83  So leave them to plunge into vain discourse and play until they meet their day which they are promised.

43:84  And He is the one who in the heaven is a god and in the earth is a god; and He is the Wise, the Knowing.

43:85  And blessed is the one who for Him is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between both of them; and with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, and to Him you will be returned.

43:86  And those who they call on besides Him do not have power for the intercession except he who bore witness to the truth and they know.

43:87  And surely if you ask them: ‘Who created them?’ they will surely, definitely say, 'God.' So how are they turned away?

43:88  And his saying, 'O my Lord! Indeed, these are people who do not believe.'

43:89  So overlook them and say, 'Peace.' Then soon they will know.
