Surah Introduction

This Meccan sûrah, which takes its name from the description of the Quran in verse 3, rebukes the pagans for turning away from the truth; abusing the Quran; and for denying Allah, the sole Creator of the heavens and the earth. The deniers are warned that their own bodily organs will testify against them on Judgment Day, landing them in Hell forever. Reference to the destruction of the arrogant, ungrateful peoples of 'Âd and Thamûd is made because the pagan Arabs used to pass by their ruins on their journeys to Syria and Yemen, respectively. A profound description of the righteous is given in verses 30-36. The truth of the Quran is emphasized at the end of this sûrah and the beginning of the next.

Translation of Verse 1-81. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Ḥâ-Mĩm .

2. ˹This is˺ a revelation from the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

3. ˹It is˺ a Book whose verses are perfectly explained -a Quran in Arabic for people who know,

4. delivering good news and warning. Yet most of them turn away, so they do not hear.

5. They say, "Our hearts are veiled against what you are calling us to, there is deafness in our ears, and there is a barrier between us and you. So do ˹whatever you want˺ and so shall we!"

6. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "I am only a man like you, ˹but˺ it has been revealed to me that your God is only One God. So take the Straight Way towards Him, and seek His forgiveness. And woe to the polytheists-

7. those who do not pay alms-tax and are in denial of the Hereafter.

8. ˹But˺ those who believe and do good will certainly have a never-ending reward.
