Qur'an, Sura 45
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful.
[45.1] Ha Mim.
[45.2] The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the
Wise.
[45.3] Most surely in the heavens and the earth there are signs
for the believers.
[45.4] And in your (own) creation and in what He spreads abroad
of animals there are signs for a people that are sure;
[45.5] And (in) the variation of the night and the day, and (in)
what Allah sends down of sustenance from the cloud, then gives
life thereby to the earth after its death, and (in) the changing
of the winds, there are signs for a people who understand.
[45.6] These are the communications of Allah which We recite to
you with truth; then in what announcement would they believe
after Allah and His communications?
[45.7] Woe to every sinful liar,
[45.8] Who hears the communications of Allah recited to him,
then persists proudly as though he had not heard them; so
announce to him a painful punishment.
[45.9] And when he comes to know of any of Our communications,
he takes it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasing
chastisement.
[45.10] Before them is hell, and there shall not avail them
aught of what they earned, nor those whom they took for
guardians besides Allah, and they shall have a grievous
punishment.
[45.11] This is guidance; and (as for) those who disbelieve in
the communications of their Lord, they shall have a painful
punishment on account of uncleanness.
[45.12] Allah is He Who made subservient to you the sea that the
ships may run therein by His command, and that you may seek of
His grace, and that you may give thanks.
[45.13] And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the
heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most
surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect.
[45.14] Say to those who believe (that) they forgive those who
do not fear the days of Allah that He may reward a people for
what they earn.
[45.15] Whoever does good, it is for his own soul, and whoever
does evil, it is against himself; then you shall be brought back
to your-- Lord.
[45.16] And certainly We gave the Book and the wisdom and the
prophecy to the children of Israel, and We gave them of the
goodly things, and We made them excel the nations.
[45.17] And We gave them clear arguments in the affair, but they
did not differ until after knowledge had come to them out of
envy among themselves; surely your -Lord will judge between them
on the day of resurrection concerning that wherein they
differed.
[45.18] Then We have made you follow a course in the affair,
therefore follow it, and do not follow the low desires of those
who do not know.
[45.19] Surely they shall not avail you in the least against
Allah; and surely the unjust are friends of each other, and
Allah is the guardian of those who guard (against evil).
[45.20] These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and a
mercy for a people who are sure.
[45.21] Nay! do those who have wrought evil deeds think that We
will make them like those who believe and do good-- that their
life and their death shall be equal? Evil it is that they judge.
[45.22] And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth
and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned and
they shall not be wronged.
[45.23] Have you then considered him who takes his low desire
for his god, and Allah has made him err having knowledge and has
set a seal upon his ear and his heart and put a covering upon
his eye. Who can then guide him after Allah? Will you not then
be mindful?
[45.24] And they say: There is nothing but our life in this
world; we live and die and nothing destroys us but time, and
they have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture.
[45.25] And when Our clear communications are recited to them,
their argument is no other than that they say: Bring our fathers
(back) if you are truthful.
[45.26] Say: Allah gives you life, then He makes you die, then
will He gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is no
doubt, but most people do not know.
[45.27] And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth;
and on the day when the hour shall come to pass, on that day
shall they perish who say false things.
[45.28] And you shall see every nation kneeling down; every
nation shall be called to its book: today you shall be rewarded
for what you did.
[45.29] This is Our book that speaks against you with justice;
surely We wrote what you did,
[45.30] Then as to those who believed and did good, their Lord
will make them enter into His mercy; that is the manifest
achievement.
[45.31] As to those who disbelieved: What! were not My
communications recited to you? But you were proud and you were a
guilty people.
[45.32] And when it was said, Surely the promise of Allah is
true and as for the hour, there is no doubt about it, you said:
We do not know what the hour is; we do not think (that it will
come to pass) save a passing thought, and we are not at all
sure.
[45.33] And the evil (consequences) of what they did shall
become manifest to them and that which they mocked shall
encompass them.
[45.34] And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you
neglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode is the
fire, and there are not for you any helpers:
[45.35] That is because you took the communications of Allah for
a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day
they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall they be
granted goodwill.
[45.36] Therefore to Allah is due (all) praise, the Lord of the
heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.
[45.37] And to Him belongs greatness in the heavens and the
earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
