The Majestic Quran

In the name of God, the Kind, the Caring. T P r ’ - 1 Ha Meem . 2 This is a Revelation from the Kind, the Caring; 3 a Book whose verses are clearly explained, an Arabic Quran for people who know. 4 It gives good news and warnings, though most of them will turn away and won’t listen. 5 They say, “Our hearts are hardy to what you invite us to; we are hard of hearing and there is a barrier between us and you, therefore do as you like, and we shall do what we like.” 6 Say: “I am a human like you; except that I receive revelation: your Lord is One God, so take the straight path to Him and seek forgiveness. Woe to the idolaters. 7 Those who don’t give charity and deny the Hereafter. 8 But the believers who are righteous will have a never-ending reward.” T H E 9 Say: “Do you deny the one Who created the Earth in two days? You have set up rivals to the Lord of the worlds.” 10 He made the mountains, blessed it, and in four days determined its provisions for seekers. 10 11 Then He focused on the sky and it was smok e 11 so He said to it and the Earth: “Come into existence whether willingly or unwillingly.” They replied, “We shall come willingly.” 12 In two days He formed them into seven skies, and to each sky He assigned its functions. We decorated the nearest sky with stars and made it safe. That’s the plan 12 of the Almighty, the All- Knowing. D : 13 If they turn away say: “I warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt of Ad and Thamud.” 14 When their messengers came to them from all sides saying , 13 “Worship God alone,” they replied, “Had Our Lord so wanted He would have sent angels; we refuse to accept what you have been sent with.” 15 The people of Ad behaved arrogantly and unjustly on the land, and boasted, “Who is stronger than us?” Didn’t they realise God created them, He is stronger than them? But they still rejected Our messages. 16 So, over a few ill-fated days We sent a violent roaring wind to give them a taste of the shocking punishment in this life and an even more shameful one in the Hereafter, and they won’t be helped. 17
