In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
(1) Hha, Mim.
(2) This Book is revealed by God, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing.
(3) He is the Forgiver of sins, Acceptor of those who repent to Him, Tough when necessary, and incredibly Patient. There is no god except Him; to Him everyone will return.
(4) Only those who don't believe in God argue against His signs. Don't let what they do in the world trick you.
(5) Long ago, Noah's people didn't believe in the truth, and the enemy forces after them also turned away. They tried to seize their messengers and used lies to argue and deny the truth. But I punished them severely, and the punishment was brutal!
(6) And your God's decision has come true for those who don't believe—they will end up in the Fire.
(7) The ones who carry God's Throne praise and believe in Him. They ask for forgiveness for those who believe, saying, "Our Lord, You know everything and are full of mercy. Please forgive those who turn back to You, follow Your Way, and keep them safe from the punishment of the Fiery Hell.
(8) Welcome them, Our Lord, to the Forever Gardens, just like You promised, along with their good parents, spouses, and kids. You are the All-Powerful, the All-Wise.
(9) And keep them safe from doing anything wrong. Anyone You keep safe from bad stuff on that Day gets Your mercy, and that's the ultimate success."
(10) Indeed, it will be apparent to those who don't believe God is upset with you. Rejecting the invitation to believe in Him was way worse than your dislike for each other Today.
(11) They will ask, "God, You made us die and come back to life twice. Now, we admit our mistakes. Can we find a way out?”
(12) They will be told, "No way! This is because when God was called upon alone, you did not believe. But when you added others to worship alongside God, that's when you believed. So now, the final decision rests with God alone—the Most High, the Greatest."
(13) He's the One Who displays His wonders and sends rain to provide for you from the sky. Only those who truly seek Him will understand and appreciate it.
(14) So, pray to God sincerely, even if those who do not believe don't like it.
(15) He is the Most High, Lord of the Throne. He sends His messages by His command to whoever He wills of His servants to warn about the Day of Meeting.
(16) On that Day, when everyone stands before God, nothing will be hidden from Him. He will ask, "Who's in charge today?" God is! The One, the Most Powerful!
(17) Today, everyone will get what they deserve for their actions. There won't be any unfairness today! God will judge quickly."
(18) And warn them! A Big Day is coming when people's hearts will jump into their throats, making them super scared. The wrongdoers won't have any friends or mediators to help them out.
(19) God knows when people give sneaky looks and even what's hidden in their hearts.
(20) God is the Ultimate Judge, while the others they pray to can't judge anything. Indeed, God can hear everything and see it all.
(21) Did they ever wander the earth to see what happened to those who came before them? They were stronger and had grand monuments everywhere. But because they did wrong, God punished them, and they had no one to shield them from God.
(22) That's because their messengers showed them clear signs, but they chose not to believe. Then, God punished them. He's super strong and punishes harshly.
(23) We sent Moses with amazing signs and undeniable proof.
(24) He went to Pharaoh, Haman, and Korah, but they just called him a sorcerer and a liar.
(25) Then, when he brought them the truth from God, they ordered, "Kill the sons of those who believe with him, but spare their women." The disbelievers' schemes won't succeed.
(26) Pharaoh said, "Let's get rid of Moses and let him call his Lord. I am afraid he wants to disrupt our way of life or cause trouble in the land."
(27) Moses said, "I turn to my God and your God for protection from anyone who's too proud to believe in the Day of Judgment."
(28) A man who believed in God but kept it a secret because he was part of Pharaoh's people said, "Are you going to kill someone for saying, 'God is my Lord,' especially when he's shown you clear signs from your Lord? If he's lying, it'll catch up with him, but if he's telling the truth, you'll face consequences for not believing. God doesn't guide those who do wrong and lie.
(29) O, my fellow people! You're in charge right now, but what if God's power strikes us? Who can save us then?" Pharaoh replied, "I only lead you based on what I see and guide you to the right path."
(30) The believer warned, "I'm worried that a day like what happened to earlier people might come for you.
(31) Just like what happened to the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, and those who came after them. God doesn't want unfairness to happen to His followers.
(32) I'm afraid that one day you'll cry out for help from one another.
(33) The Day when you'll run away without anyone to protect you from God, and if God leads you astray, no one will guide you.
(34) And you know, Joseph came to you with clear signs before, but you didn't believe what he said. When he died, you said, 'God wouldn't send any more messengers after him.'
This is how God lets anyone who does wrong or doubts go astray—
(35) Those who argue against God's signs without proof given to them are doing something wrong in God's sight and in the sight of those who believe. This is how God hardens the hearts of arrogant and cruel people.”
(36) And Pharaoh told Haman, "Build a tall tower for me, so I can try to reach up high,
(37) Reach up to the heavens and see Moses' God. I do think he's a liar." And Pharaoh got so caught up in his wicked ways that he strayed from the Right Path. But Pharaoh's plans ended up being useless.
(38) The man who believed in the Right Path said, "My people, follow me. I'll lead you to the Way of Goodness.
(39) My people, remember, life here is just a small piece of fun. The real deal is the life after this, which lasts forever.
(40) Anyone who does something terrible, they'll get an equal payback. But whoever does something good, whether a male or a female, believes in God, they'll get to go to Paradise, where they'll have everything they wish for without a limit.
(41) O my people, why do I call you to be saved while you're trying to drag me into Hellfire?
(42) You want me to forget about God and worship things I don't know about, but I'm all about the All-Powerful, the Most Forgiving.
(43) The things you want me to worship aren't worth it, here or in the afterlife. We're returning to God, and the wrongdoers will end up in Hellfire.
(44) Then, you'll remember what I'm saying, and I'll leave it to God. He sees everything."
(45) So, God kept him safe from their mean plans, while Pharaoh's people got hit with the worst punishment.
(46) They'll face the Fire in their graves day and night. And when the Day of Judgment comes, it'll be announced, "Send Pharaoh's people to the toughest part of Hell."
(47) Imagine the Day when people will argue in the Fire. The lowly will beg the arrogant leaders, "We followed you all this time. Can you help us avoid some of this fire?"
(48) The arrogant leaders will say, "We're all in this together. God has judged us, you know."
(49) People suffering in the Fire will beg the guards of Hell, "Please ask your Lord to make our pain go away for just one day."
(50) The guards will say, "Didn't your messengers come to you with clear signs?" They'll say, "Yes, they did." The guards will reply, "Then pray! But disbelievers' prayers won't help."
(51) We will support Our messengers and the believers in this life and on the Day when witnesses testify.
(52) On that Day, wrongdoers' excuses won't help them. They'll be cursed and live in the Home of Misery.
(53) We guided Moses and made the Children of Israel inherit the Scripture.
(54) It's a guide and reminder for those who think.
(55) So, Stay patient. God's promise is true. Ask for God's forgiveness for your mistakes, and praise your Lord morning and night.
(56) Those who argue against God's signs without proof are greedy for control but never get it. So, trust in God. Indeed, He hears and sees everything.
(57) Think about it: creating the heavens and the earth is way more impressive than creating people, but most folks don't realize that.
(58) Blind people and those who can see aren't the same. People who believe and do good things aren't the same as those who do bad things. But it seems like you don't think about it.
(59) Indeed, The Day of Judgment is coming. No doubt about it, but most people don't believe it.
(60) Your Lord says, "Pray to Me, and I'll answer you. But those too proud to worship Me will end up humbled in Hell."
(61) God made the night for you to sleep and the day to see things. God is always Generous to people, but sadly, many don't appreciate it.
(62) This is God, your Lord, the Creator of everything. There is no god except Him. So, how can you ignore the truth?
(63) This is how those who ignored God's signs lost their way.
(64) God made the earth for you to live on and the sky above a structure. He shaped you and made you just right. He provided you with the good stuff. That's God, your Lord. So, Blessed is God, the Lord of the Worlds.
(65) God is always there. There is no god worth worshiping except Him. So, pray to Him and mean it. Say, "Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds."
(66) Say, O Prophet, "I can't worship the idols you worship instead of God. My proof comes from God, and I'm commanded to submit to Him, the Lord of the Worlds."
(67) He is the One Who created you from dust, then a sperm-drop, then shaped you like a small clot, then turned you into babies. You grow up, get old, and some of you die sooner than others. This happens at the time God chooses, so maybe you can see how powerful God is.
(68) He gives life and takes it away. When He wants something, He says, "Be!" and it is.
(69) Have you ever noticed how people who argue against the signs of God end up losing their way?
(70) Those who deny the Quran and the earlier Books will eventually realize the truth in what Our messengers brought.
(71) They'll end up with chains around their necks, being dragged by their legs.
(72) They'll experience scorching water and intense flames.
(73) Then they'll be asked, "Where are those you used to worship alongside God?"
(74) They'll answer, "They've left us. We weren't worshipping anything before." This is how God lets the non-believers go astray.
(75) They'll be told, "That's because you were too proud on earth without reason, acting all arrogant.
(76) Enter Hell's gates and stay there forever.” What a terrible place for the arrogant!
(77) So, stay patient. God's promise is true. Whether you see some of the things We warned them about or you pass away, everyone will return to God.
(78) We sent messengers before you; you've heard about some but not all. No messenger can perform miracles without God's permission. When God's decree is fulfilled, justice will prevail, and the followers of falsehood will lose everything.
(79) God made animals for you—some you can ride, and some you can eat.
(80) You'll also discover other good stuff in them. You can use them to get to places you want to go. Some of them you ride, and other things you are carried upon like ships.
(81) God shows you His amazing signs. So, which of God's signs can you deny?
(82) Have you ever traveled and seen what happened to those who came before you? They were more numerous and stronger in might and did many things, but all those achievements didn't help them.
(83) Then, when messengers came to them with clear proof, they were happy with their knowledge, but they were in trouble for making fun of them before.
(84) Then, when they saw God's punishment, they said, "We believe in God alone and reject those we associated with Him."
(85) But their faith couldn't save them then when they witnessed God's power. This is how God has treated His servants throughout history, and the disbelievers lost right then.
