45:1  Ha Mim.

45:2  The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

45:3  In the heavens and earth there are certainly Signs for the muminun.

45:4  And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about there are Signs for people with certainty.

45:5  And in the alternation of night and day and the provision Allah sends down from the sky, bringing the earth to life by it after it has died, and the varying direction of the winds, there are Signs for people who use their intellect.

45:6  Those are Allah´s Signs We recite to you with truth. In what discourse, then, after Allah and His Signs, will they have iman?

45:7  Woe to every wicked liar

45:8  who hears the Signs of Allah recited to him and then persists in his arrogance just as if he had never heard them. Give him the news of a painful punishment.

45:9  When he does learn something of Our Signs, he makes a mockery of them. Such people will have a humiliating punishment.

45:10  Hell is right at their heels. Nothing they have earned will be of any use to them, nor will those they took as protectors besides Allah. They will have a terrible punishment.

45:11  This is guidance. And those who reject the Signs of their Lord will have a punishment of agonising pain.

45:12  It is Allah who has made the sea subservient to you so that the ships sail on it at His command, enabling you to seek His bounty, so that hopefully you will be thankful.

45:13  And He has made everything in the heavens and everything on the earth subservient to you. It is all from Him. There are certainly Signs in that for people who reflect.

45:14  Tell those who have iman that they should forgive those who feel no fear about the Days of Allah, when He will repay people according to what they earned.

45:15  Whoever acts rightly, it is to his own good. Whoever does evil, it is to his detriment. Then you will be returned to your Lord.

45:16  We gave the Book and Judgement and Prophethood to the tribe of Israel and provided them with good things and favoured them over all other people.

45:17  We made the Commandments very clear to them and they only differed after knowledge came to them, tyrannising one other. Your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Rising regarding the things they differed about.

45:18  Then We placed you on the right road of Our Command, so follow it. Do not follow the whims and desires of those who do not know.

45:19  They will not help you in any way against Allah. The wrongdoers are protectors of one another but Allah is the Protector of those who have taqwa.

45:20  This is clear insight for mankind and guidance and mercy for people with certainty.

45:21  Or do those who perpetrate evil deeds suppose that We will make them like those who have iman and do right actions, so that their lives and deaths will be the same? How bad their judgement is!

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

45:23  Have you seen him who takes his whims and desires to be his god — whom Allah has misguided knowingly, sealing up his hearing and his heart and placing a blindfold over his eyes? Who then will guide him after Allah? So will you not pay heed?

45:24  They say, ´There is nothing but our existence in this world. We die and we live and nothing destroys us except for time.´ They have no knowledge of that. They are only conjecturing.

45:25  When Our Clear Signs are recited to them their only argument is to say, ´Bring us our fathers if you are telling the truth.´

45:26  Say: ´Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, and then will gather you together for the Day of Rising about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know it.´

45:27  The kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs to Allah and, on the Day that the Hour arrives, that Day the liars will be lost.

45:28  You will see every nation on its knees, every nation summoned to its Book: ´Today you will be repaid for what you did.

45:29  This is Our Book speaking against you with the truth. We have been recording everything you did.´

45:30  As for those who had iman and did right actions, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the Clear Victory.

45:31  But as for those who were kafir: ´Were My Signs not recited to you and yet you proved arrogant; you were a people of evildoers?

45:32  When you were told, "Allah´s promise is true and so is the Hour, of which there is no doubt," you said, "We have no idea what the Hour is. We have only been conjecturing. We are by no means certain."´

45:33  The evil deeds they did will appear before them and the things they mocked at will engulf them.

45:34  They will be told, ´Today We have forgotten you as you forgot the meeting of this your Day. Your refuge is the Fire and you have no helpers.

45:35  That is because you made a mockery of Allah´s Signs and the life of the dunya deluded you.´ Therefore, today they will not get out of it. They will not be able to appease Allah.

45:36  All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, Lord of all the worlds.

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