45. "The Kneeling"
  
     
1.
 Ha. Mim.  
2.
 The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
 
3.
 Behold! in the heavens and the earth are omens for believers.
 
4.
 And in your creation, and all the beasts that He scattereth in the earth, are omens for a people whose faith is sure.
 
5.
 And the difference of night and day and the provision that Allah sends down from the sky and thereby quickens the earth after her death, and the ordering of the winds, are omens for a people who have sense.
 
6.
 These are the omens of Allah which We recite unto you Muhammad with truth. Then in what fact, after Allah and His omens, will they believe?
 
7.
 Woe unto each sinful liar,
 
8.
 Who hears the revelations of Allah recited unto him, and then continueth in pride as though he heard them not. Give him tidings of a painful doom of their own choosing.
 
9.
 And when he knows anyway can of Our revelations he maketh it a jest. For such there is a shameful doom.
 
10.
 Beyond them there is hell, and that which they have earned will nothing avail them, nor those whom they have chosen for protecting friends beside Allah. Theirs by choice will be great anguish and regret.
 
11.
 This is guidance. And those who disbelieve the revelations of their Lord, for them there is a painful doom of wrath.
 
12.
 Allah it is Who has made the sea of service unto you that the ships may run thereon by His command, and that you may seek of His bounty, and that haply you may be thankful;
 
13.
 And has made of service unto you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; it is all from Him. Behold! herein truly are omens for a people who reflect.
 
14.
 Tell those who believe to forgive those who hope not for the days of Allah; in order that He may requite people what they used to earn.
 
15.
 Whoso doeth right, it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong, it is against it. And afterward unto your Lord you will be brought back.
 
16.
 And truly we gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and the Command and the Prophethood, and provided them with good things and favoured them above all peoples;
 
17.
 And gave them plain commandments. And they differed not until after the knowledge came unto them, through rivalry among themselves. Behold! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ.
 
18.
 And now have We set you O Messenger on a clear road of Our commandment; so follow it, and follow not the whims of those who know not.
 
19.
 Behold! they can avail you nothing against Allah. And Lo and Behold! as for the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the Friend of those who ward off evil.
 
20.
 This is clear indication for humanity, and a guidance and a mercy for a people whose faith is sure.
 
21.
 Or do those who commit ill-deeds suppose that We shall make them as those who believe and do good works, the same in life and death? Bad is their judgment!
 
22.
 And Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and that every soul may be repaid what it has earned. And they will not be wronged.
 
23.
 Have you seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah sends him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah has condemned him? Will you not then heed?
 
24.
 And they say: There is nothing but our life of the world; we die and we live, and nothing destroyeth us except time; when they have no knowledge whatsoever of all that; they do but guess.
 
25.
 And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only argument is that they say: Bring back our fathers. then, if you are truthful.
 
26.
 Say unto them, O Muhammad: Allah gives life to you, then causes you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection of which there is no doubt. But most of humanity know not.
 
27.
 And unto Allah belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the Hour riseth, on that day those who follow falsehood will be lost.
 
28.
 And you will see each nation crouching, each nation summoned to its record. And it will be said unto them: This day you are requited what you used to do.
 
29.
 This Our Book pronounceth against you with truth. Behold! We have caused all that you did to be recorded.
 
30.
 Then, as for those who believed and did good works, their Lord will bring them in unto His mercy. That is the evident triumph.
 
31.
 And as for those who disbelieved it will be said unto them: Were not Our revelations recited unto you? But you were scornful and became a guilty people.
 
32.
 And when it was said: Behold! Allah's promise is the truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, you said: We know not what the Hour is. We deem it nothing but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced.
 
33.
 And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that which they used to deride will befall them.
 
34.
 And it will be said: This day We forget you, even as you forgot the meeting of this your day; and your habitation is the Fire, and there is none to help you.
 
35.
 This, forasmuch as you made the revelations of Allah a jest, and the life of the world beguiled you. Therefore this day they come not forth from thence, nor can they make amends.
 
36.
 Then praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, the Lord of the Worlds.
 
37.
 And unto Him alone belongs Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
