Fussilat


(41:1) Ha'. Mim.

(41:2) This is a revelation from the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,

(41:3) a Book whose verses have been well-expounded; an Arabic Qur'an for
those who have knowledge,

(41:4) one bearing good news and warning.1 Yet most of them turned
away and are not wont to give heed.

(41:5) They say: “Our hearts are securely wrapped up against what you call
us to,2 and in our ears is a heaviness, and between you and us there
is a veil.3 So act; we too are acting.”4

(41:6) Tell them, (O Prophet): “I am only a human being like you.5
It is revealed to me that your God is One God;6 so direct yourselves
straight to Him,7 and seek His forgiveness. Woe to those who associate
others with Allah in His Divinity,8

(41:7) who do not pay Zakah,9 and who deny the Hereafter.

(41:8) As to those who have faith and do good works, surely theirs shall
be a never-ending reward.0

(41:9) Tell them, (O Prophet): “Do you indeed disbelieve in Him and assign
compeers to Him Who created the earth in two days? He is the Lord of all beings
of the Universe.

(41:10) (After creating the earth) He set up firm mountains on it, blessed
it,1 and provided it with sustenance in proportion to the needs
of all who seek (sustenance). 2 All this was done in four days.3

(41:11) Then He turned to the heaven while it was all smoke.4
He said to the heaven and the earth: “Come (into being), willingly or unwillingly.”
They said: “Here we come (into being) in willing obeisance.”5

(41:12) Then He made them seven heavens in two days and revealed to each
heaven its law. And We adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and firmly secured
it.6 All this is the firm plan of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

(41:13) But if they turn away,7 tell them: “I warn you against
a sudden scourge like that which struck Ad and Thamud.”

(41:14) When the Messengers (of Allah) came to them from the front and from
the rear,8 saying: “Do not serve any but Allah”; they said: “Had
our Lord so willed, He would have sent down angels. So we deny the Message you
have brought.”9

(41:15) As for Ad, they waxed proud in the land without justification and
said: “Who is greater than we in strength?” Did they not see that Allah, Who
created them, is greater in strength than they? They continued to deny Our Signs,

(41:16) whereupon We sent upon them a fierce wind on inauspicious days0
that We might make them taste a degrading chastisement in the life of this world.1
And surely the chastisement of the Hereafter is even more degrading. There will
be none to help them there.

(41:17) As for Thamud, We bestowed guidance upon them, but they preferred
to remain blind rather than be guided. At last a humiliating scourge overtook
them on account of their misdeeds.

(41:18) Yet We delivered those who believed and were God-fearing.2

(41:19) Imagine the Day when Allah's enemies will be mustered to the Fire,3
and the people of the former times will be detained until the arrival of people
of the later times,4

(41:20) and when all have arrived, their ears, their eyes, and their skins
shall bear witness against them, stating all that they had done in the life
of the world.5

(41:21) They will ask their skins: “Why did you bear witness against us?”
The skins will reply: “Allah gave us speech,6 as He gave speech
to all others. He it is Who created you for the first time and it is to Him
that you will be sent back.

(41:22) When you used to conceal yourselves (while committing misdeeds) you
never thought that your ears or your eyes or your skins would ever bear witness
against you; you rather fancied that Allah does not know a great deal of what
you do.

(41:23) This thought of yours about your Lord has led to your perdition and
you have become among the losers.”7

(41:24) In this state, whether they bear with patience (or not), Fire alone
shall be their abode. And if they seek to make amends, they will not be allowed
to do so.8

(41:25) We had assigned to them companions who embellished for them all that
was before them and behind them.9 Thus the same decree (of chastisement)
which had overtaken the previous generations of jinn and human beings (also)
became due against them. Surely they became the losers.

(41:26) The deniers of the Truth say: “Do not give ear to the Qur'an and
cause interruption when it is recited; thus perhaps you will gain the upper
hand.”0

(41:27) We shall certainly make these unbelievers taste a terrible chastisement
and shall fully requite them according to the worst deeds that they committed.

(41:28) That is the recompense of the enemies of Allah � the Fire, their
abiding home. That will be the re-compense for their denying Our Signs.

(41:29) There the unbelievers will say: “Our Lord, show us those that led
us astray, both jinn and humans, and we will trample them under our feet so
that they are utterly degraded.”1

(41:30) Those2 who say “Allah is our Lord” and then remain steadfast,3
upon them descend angels4 (and say): “Do not fear nor grieve,5
and receive good tidings of Paradise which you were promised.

(41:31) We are your companions in this world and in the Hereafter. There
you shall have all that you desire and all what you will ask for.

(41:32) This is by way of hospitality from Him Who is Most Forgiving, Most
Merciful.”

(41:33) And who is fairer in speech than he who calls to Allah and acts righteously
and says: “I am a Muslim”?6

(41:34) (O Prophet), good and evil are not equal. Repel (evil) with that
which is good, and you will see that he, between whom and you there was enmity,
shall become as if he were a bosom friend (of yours).7

(41:35) But none attains to this except those who are steadfast;8
none attains to this except those endowed with mighty good fortune.9

(41:36) And if you are prompted by a provocation from Satan, seek refuge
with Allah.0 He, and He alone, is All-Hearing, All- Knowing.1

(41:37) And2 of His Signs are the night and the day, and the
sun and the moon.3 Do not prostrate yourselves before the sun, nor
before the moon, but prostrate yourselves before Allah Who created them, if
it is Him that you serve.4

(41:38) But if they wax proud5 (and persist in their attitude,
it does not matter, for) the angels near-stationed to your Lord glorify Him
night and day, and never grow weary.6

(41:39) And of His Signs is that you see the earth withered, then We send
down water upon it, and lo! it quivers and swells. Surely He Who gives life
to the dead earth will also give life to the dead.7 Surely He has
power over everything.

(41:40) Those8 who pervert Our Signs9 are not hidden
from Us.0 Is he who will be cast into the Fire better, or he who
comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do as you wish; He sees all what you
do.

(41:41) These are the ones who rejected the Good Counsel when it came to
them, although it is certainly a Mighty Book.1

(41:42) Falsehood may not enter it from the front or from the rear.2
It is a revelation that has been sent down from the Most Wise, the Immensely
Praiseworthy.

(41:43) (O Prophet), nothing is said to you but what was already said to
the Messengers before you. Surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness3
and the Lord of grievous chastisement.

(41:44) Had We revealed this as a non-Arabic Qur'an they would have said:
“Why were its verses not clearly expounded? How strange, a non-Arabic scripture
and an Arab audience!”4 Tell them: “It is a guidance and a healing
to the believers. But to those who do not believe, it serves as a plug in their
ears and a covering over their eyes. It is as if they are being called from
a place far away.5

(41:45) And in the past We gave Moses the Book and yet it became an object
of dispute.6 If your Lord's decree had not gone forth before, a
decisive judgement would have been made among them, once and for all.7
Surely they are in a disquieting doubt about it.8

(41:46) Whoever does good, does so to his own benefit; and whoever does evil,
will suffer its evil consequence. Your Lord does no wrong to His servants.9

(41:47) The knowledge of the Hour1 rests solely with Him.0
Not a fruit comes forth from its sheath, nor does any female conceive nor give
birth to a child but it is in His knowledge.2 On that Day He will
call out to them: “Where are those associates of Mine?” They will answer: “We
have declared to You that none of us can bear witness to that.”3

(41:48) Then all those deities whom they once used to call upon shall vanish4
and they will come to know for sure that there is no escape for them.

(41:49) Man wearies not of praying for good,5 but when evil visits
him, he despairs and gives up all hope.

(41:50) And if We bestow Our Mercy upon him after hardship, he will surely
say: “This is what I truly deserve,6 and I do not believe that the
Hour (of Resurrection) will ever come to pass; and if I am returned to my Lord,
there too I shall enjoy the best.” Surely We shall fully apprise the unbelievers
of what they have done, and We shall certainly make them taste a severe chastisement.

(41:51) When We bestow Our favour upon man, he turns away and waxes proud;7
but when a misfortune touches him, he is full of supplication.8

(41:52) Tell them, (O Prophet): “Did you ever consider: if this Qur'an is
indeed from Allah and you still deny it, who can be in greater error than he
who goes far in fiercely opposing it?”9

(41:53) Soon shall We show them Our Signs on the horizons and in their own
beings until it becomes clear to them that it is the Truth.0 Is
it not enough that your Lord is a witness over everything?1

(41:54) Lo, they are in doubt concerning their meeting with their Lord.2
Surely He fully encompasses everything.3
