45 The Kneeling -Al-Jathiah
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[45.1] HaMeem.
[45.2] The sending down of the Book is from Allah, the
Almighty, the Wise.
[45.3] Indeed, there are signs in the heavens and earth
for believers,
[45.4] and in your creation, and in the crawling things
that He has scattered far and near, there are signs for a nation whose belief
is certain,
[45.5] and in the alternation of the night and day, in
the provision Allah sends down from heaven with which the earth is revived
after its death, and in the changing about of the winds, there are signs for
people who understand.
[45.6] Such are the verses of Allah. We recite them to
you in truth. So in what speech, after Allah and His signs, will they believe?
[45.7] Woe to all the guilty impostors!
[45.8] He hears the verses of Allah recited to him and
then, as though he never heard them, persists in insolence. Give to him the
glad tidings of a painful punishment.
[45.9] As for he who knows something of Our verses and
then mocks them for those there is a humiliating punishment.
[45.10] Gehenna (Hell) is behind them, all that they
have earned shall not help them at all, nor shall those they took as guardians,
other than Allah. For them there is a mighty punishment.
[45.11] This is guidance; for those who disbelieve in
the verses of their Lord the anger of the painful punishment awaits them.
[45.
12] It is Allah who has subjected to you the
sea so that ships run upon it at His command, and so that you may seek His
bounty and be thankful.
[45.13] He has subjected to you whatsoever is in the
heavens and the earth; all is from Him. Surely, there are signs in this for
people who contemplate.
[45.14] Tell the believers to forgive those who do not
look for the Days of Allah, so that He recompenses the people for what they
have earned.
[45.15] He who does what is right does it for his own
gain, and he who does evil does so at his own loss, then to your Lord you shall
all return.
[45.16] We gave to the Children of
[45.17] We gave them clear signs of the Command; yet it
was not until after knowledge had come to them that they differed among
themselves, and were insolent to each other. On the Day of Resurrection your
Lord will indeed decide their differences.
[45.18] And now, We have set you on the jurisprudence of
the Command, therefore follow it and do not follow the desires of those who do
not know.
[45.19] Indeed, they will not help you at all against
Allah. The harmdoers are guides of each other; but Allah is the Guide of the
cautious.
[45.20] These are clear proofs for people, a guidance,
and mercy for those who are certain (of the Resurrection) in belief.
[45.21] Do those who commit evil deeds think that We
will make them (equal) to the believers who do good works, so that in life and
death they shall be alike? How evil they judge!
[45.22] Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth
and that each soul shall be recompensed for what it earned, they shall not be
wronged.
[45.23] Have you seen he who took his desire for a god?
With knowledge, Allah has led him astray, setting a seal upon his hearing and
heart, and has made a veil over his eyes, who then shall guide him after Allah?
Will you not then remember!
[45.24] They say: 'There is nothing except this life, we
die and we live, it is only time that destroys us. ' Surely, of this they have
no knowledge, they are just guessing.
[45.25] And when Our verses are recited to them, their
only argument is: 'Bring our fathers back to us, if what you say is true! '
[45.26] Say: 'Allah revives you and causes you to die.
Then, He shall gather you on the Day of Resurrection, and of this there is no
doubt, yet most people do not know. '
[45.27] To Allah belongs the Kingdom in the heavens and
the earth. On the Day when the Hour comes, those who disbelieved shall be the
losers.
[45.28] You shall see every nation hobbling on their
knees. Each nation shall be summoned to its Book. (And it will be said:) 'This
Day, you shall be recompensed for what you were doing.
[45.29] This is Our Book that speaks with the truth over
you. We have recorded all that you were doing. '
[45.30] As for those who have believed and done good
works, their Lord will admit them into His Mercy that is a mighty triumph!
[45.31] But, to the unbelievers (it will be said): 'Were
My verses not recited to you, but you were proud and were you not a sinful
nation? '
[45.32] When it was said: 'The promise of Allah is true,
and of the Hour there is no doubt, ' you replied: 'We do not know what the Hour
is, we guess, assuming, and we are by no means certain. '
[45.33] The evil of their deeds will appear to them, and
they shall be encompassed by that they mocked,
[45.34] and it shall be said: 'Today, We will forget you
as you yourselves forgot that you would encounter this Day. The Fire shall be
your refuge, and none will help you.
[45.35] That is because you took the verses of Allah (the
Koran) in mockery, and you were deluded by your worldly life. ' So that Day
they will not be brought out of it; nor shall they be repentant.
[45.36] Praise, belongs to Allah, the Lord of the
heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Worlds.
[45.37] His is the Pride in the heavens and earth. He is
the Almighty, the Wise.
