Sra Xlvi.: Aqf, Or Winding Sand-tracts.
Section 1
1. Ha-meem
1. H-Mm.
2. Tanzeelu alkitabi mina Allahi alAAazeezi alhakeemI
2. The revelation
Of the Book
Is from God
The Exalted in Power,
Full of Wisdom.
3. Ma khalaqna aLssamawati waAl-arda wama baynahuma illa biAlhaqqi waajalin musamman waAllatheena kafaroo AAamma onthiroo muAAridoonA
3. We created not
The heavens and the earth
And all between them
But for just ends, and
For a term appointed:
But those who reject Faith
Turn away from that
Wher they are warned.
4. Qul araaytum ma tadAAoona min dooni Allahi aroonee matha khalaqoo mina al-ardi am lahum shirkun fee aLssamawati eetoonee bikitabin min qabli hatha aw atharatin min AAilmin in kuntum sadiqeenA
4. Say: "Do ye see
What it is ye invoke
Besides God? Show me
What it is they
Have created on earth,
Or have they a share
In the heavens?
Bring me a Book
(Revealed) before this,
Or any remnant of knowledge
(Ye may have), if ye
Are telling the truth!
5. Waman adallu mimman yadAAoo min dooni Allahi man la yastajeebu lahu ila yawmi alqiyamati wahum AAan duAAa-ihim ghafiloonA
8. Am yaqooloona iftarahu qul ini iftaraytuhu fala tamlikoona lee mina Allahi shay-an huwa aAAlamu bima tufeedoona feehi kafa bihi shaheedan baynee wabaynakum wahuwa alghafooru aLrraheemU
8. Or do they say,
"He has forged it"?
Say: "Had I forged it,
Then can ye obtain
No single (blessing) for me
From God. He knows best
Of that wher ye talk
(So glibly)! Enough is He
For a witness between me
And you! And He is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
9. Qul ma kuntu bidAAan mina aLrrusuli wama adree ma yufAAalu bee wala bikum in attabiAAu illa ma yooha ilayya wama ana illa natheerun mubeenUn
9. Say: "I am no bringer
Of new-fangled doctrine
Among the apostles, nor
Do I know what will
Be done with me or
With you. I follow
But that which is revealed
To me by inspiration;
I am but a Warner
Open and clear."
10. Qul araaytum in kana min AAindi Allahi wakafartum bihi washahida shahidun min banee isra-eela AAala mithlihi faamana waIstakbartum inna Allaha la yahdee alqawma aL"thth"alimeenA
