[40:1] HaMeem

[40:2] The revelation of the scripture is from God, The Almighty, The All Knowing.

[40:3] Forgiver of sin, Acceptor of repentance, Enforcer of the ultimate punishment, Possessor of might, there is no god except He. To Him is the final destiny.

[40:4] No one disputes God's signs except the unfaithful; therefore, do not be deceived by their apparent success in the society.

[40:5] Rejecting before them were the people of Noah and the parties after them. Each community did their best to persecute their messenger, and they argued with falsehood to defeat the truth, but I punished them, how terrible was the consequence.

[40:6] And the word of your Lord thus came true for the unfaithful; they are indeed the dwellers of Hell.

[40:7] Those who carry the throne and those around it glorify and praise their Lord and believe in Him, and they ask forgiveness for the faithful; our Lord, Your mercy and knowledge encompasses all things, therefore, forgive those who have repented and followed your path and spare them the suffering of the Inferno.

[40:8] Our Lord, and admit them into Gardens of Eden that you have promised them and also the righteous amongst their parents, their spouses, and their children. Indeed You are The Almighty, The All Wise.

[40:9] And spare them the ills. And whoever escapes the ills of that day; has indeed attained His mercy. And this is the great victory.

[40:10] Indeed the unfaithful are told that indeed God's abhorrence towards you is greater than your abhorrence towards yourselves, because you were invited to the faith but you chose to reject it.

[40:11] They said, our Lord, You have given us two deaths and two lives, we now confess our sins, is there any way out?

[40:12] This is because when God alone was called upon, you disbelieved, and when a partner was set up besides Him, you believed. Therefore, judgment belongs to God, The Exalted, The All Magnificent.

[40:13] He is the One who shows you His signs and sends down for you provisions from the sky. And no one takes heed except the penitent.

[40:14] You shall therefore call upon God, devoting the religion purely to Him, although the unfaithful dislike it.

[40:15] The Possessor of The Highest ranks, Possessor of the throne, He sends The Spirit by His command to whomever He wills from amongst His servants to warn about The Day of the Gathering.

[40:16] The day they will be completely transparent, nothing will be hidden from God in the least. To whom belong all kingships on that day? To God, The One, The Supreme.

[40:17] The day every soul will be requited according to what she earned. No one will suffer any injustice on that day. Indeed God is quick in reckoning.

[40:18] And warn them of the approaching day when the terrified hearts will reach their throats, full of remorse. The transgressors will have no friends and no intercessor will be obeyed.

[40:19] He knows what is hidden from the eyes and what is hidden in the chests.

[40:20] And God judges according to the truth, while those whom they call besides Him do not judge a thing. Indeed God is The All Hearer, The All Seer.

[40:21] Do they not travel throughout the land and see the consequences for those before them? They were more powerful and left a more impressive legacy on the land, then God punished them because of their sins and there was no protection for them from God.

[40:22] This is because when indeed their messengers went to them with proofs, they rejected faith, consequently, God punished them. Indeed He is All Powerful, strict in enforcing punishment.

[40:23] Similarly, We sent Moses with Our signs and a manifest authority-

[40:24] -to Pharaoh, Hamaan, and Qaroon, but they said he is a lying magician.

[40:25] When he came to them with the truth from Us, they said, kill the sons of those who believed with him and bring shame to their women. The scheming of the unfaithful is always misguided.

[40:26] And Pharaoh said, let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. I am indeed afraid he may change your religion or spread corruption throughout the land.

[40:27] And Moses said, I surely seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from all those who are arrogant and do not believe in the Day of Reckoning.

[40:28] And a faithful man from the people of Pharaoh who was concealing his faith said, are you going to kill a man for saying that my Lord is God when he has brought you proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, he will suffer because of his lie and if he is truthful then you benefit from some of the promises to you. Indeed God does not guide those who are transgressing, liars.

[40:29] O my people, today you obviously have the kingship on the land, then who is going to help us from God's Might if it comes our way? Pharaoh responded, "you should only see it my way"; I only guide you to the right path.

[40:30] And the one who had faith said, O my people, I indeed fear for you the same fate of the other parties.

[40:31] The same as the plight of the people of Noah, Aad and Thamoud and those after them. God never wishes any injustice upon His servants.

[40:32] And O my people, I fear for you the Day of Summoning.

[40:33] That is the day when you would like to turn around and flee, but no one can protect you from God. And whomever God sends astray will never find a guide.

[40:34] And Joseph came to you previously with proofs but you were full of doubts concerning what he came with, until he died, then you said, God will never appoint another messenger after him. God thus sends astray those who are transgressing, doubtful.

[40:35] Those who argue about God's signs without proof, they only earn abhorrence in the site of God as well as in the site of the faithful. God thus seals the heart of every arrogant, tyrant.

[40:36] Pharaoh said, O Hamaan, build me an edifice, that I may obtain the means-

[40:37] -the means to reach the skies that I may look upon the god of Moses. I think he is a liar. Pharaoh's evil work was thus adorned for him; he was repelled from the path. And Pharaoh's schemes were always in vain.

[40:38] The one who had faith said, O my people follow me, and I will guide you to the right path.

[40:39] O my people, this worldly life is only a temporary provision and indeed the Hereafter is the eternal abode.

[40:40] Those who have worked evil will not be requited except for the exact amount. As for those who have led a righteous life, be it male or female, while remaining faithful, then they enter Paradise, wherein they will be provided for without limits.

[40:41] And O my people, here I am inviting you to be saved, while you are inviting me to Hell.

[40:42] You are inviting me to reject faith in God and to set up partners for Him, while I have no knowledge thereof, and I am inviting you to The Almighty, The All Forgiver.

[40:43] Without a doubt, you are indeed inviting me to what is neither worthy of calling upon in this world nor in the Hereafter. And surely our return will be to God and indeed the transgressors will be the dwellers of Hell.

[40:44] You will soon remember what I am telling you, and I leave my deed to God. Indeed, God is Seer of the servants.

[40:45] Therefore God saved him from their evil schemes, while the people of Pharaoh have deserved the worst suffering.

[40:46] Hell will be shown to them day and night and the day the hour is struck, let the people of Pharaoh endure the ultimate suffering.

[40:47] As they argue in Hell, the followers say to the arrogant leaders, we indeed used to obey you; therefore, can you relieve from us any part of Hell?

[40:48] The arrogant leaders say, we are all indeed in it together, God has surely judged amongst the servants.

[40:49] Those in Hell say to the guardians of Gehenna; call upon your Lord to reduce the suffering for us just by a day.

[40:50] They say, did you not receive messengers with proofs? They will say, yes. They will then say, go ahead and call, the calling of the unfaithful is in vain.

[40:51] We will most assuredly give victory to Our messengers and those who attained faith in this worldly life and on the day when the witnesses are brought forth.

[40:52] That is the Day when the apology of the unjust will not benefit them and they have deserved damnation and reserved for them is the worst abode.

[40:53] And We indeed gave Moses the guidance, and We let the Children of Israel inherit the scripture.

[40:54] A Guide and a reminder to those who possess vision.

[40:55] You shall therefore wait for indeed God's promise is the truth and you shall ask forgiveness for your sins and glorify and praise your Lord night and day.

[40:56] Those who argue about God's signs without any proof have nothing in their chest except arrogance that they are not even aware of it. You shall therefore seek refuge in God. Indeed He is the All Hearer, the All Seer.

[40:57] Indeed the creation of the vacua and matter is greater than the creation of the human being, but most people do not know.

[40:58] And the blind and the seer are not equal, nor are those who attained faith and lead a righteous life and the evildoers. Only a few take heed.

[40:59] The Hour is surely coming, there is no doubt about it; however, most people do not believe.

[40:60] And your Lord said, call upon Me, I will respond to you. Indeed those who are too arrogant to worship Me will enter Gehenna forcibly.

[40:61] God is the One who made the night for you to rest therein, and the day bright. Indeed God possesses generosity for the people but most people are not appreciative.

[40:62] Such is God, your Lord, creator of all things, there is no god except He, how can you then deviate?

[40:63] Thus deviated those who argued about God's signs.

[40:64] God is the One who made the land habitable for you, and the vacuum a structure, and He designed you and made it the most beautiful design, and He provided for you from the clean things. Such is God, your Lord, therefore, glory to God, Lord of the multiverse.

[40:65] He is the Living, there is no god except He, therefore call upon Him, devoting the religion purely to Him. Praise God, Lord of the multiverse.

[40:66] Say, I have indeed been enjoined from worshiping those whom you call upon besides God once I received proofs from my Lord. And I was enjoined to enter in peace with the Lord of the multiverse.

[40:67] He is the One who created you from clay then from semen, then from a hanging, then He brings you out as an infant, then you reach maturity, then you get old. While some of you die before that, some reach a specific interim that you may use your intelligence.

[40:68] He is the One who grants life and death; as a consequence once He wills to fulfill any task, then, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

[40:69] Do you not see those who dispute regarding God's signs have totally deviated?

[40:70] Those who reject the scripture and the message that We sent our messengers with, they will soon find out-

[40:71] -once shackles are placed around their necks as well as chains with which they are dragged-

[40:72] -into the Inferno, then they will be burned in Hell.

[40:73] Then, they will be asked; where are those partners whom you set up-

[40:74] -besides God? They will say, they have abandoned us as though we never called upon them for anything. God thus sends the unfaithful astray.

[40:75] That is because you rejoiced on the land with other than the truth, and you used to blunder.

[40:76] Enter the gates of Gehenna to abide therein forever; what a miserable abode for the arrogant.

[40:77] You shall therefore be patient, for indeed God's promise is true. Then, whether We show you some of what We have promised to them, or terminate your life, to Us they will all return.

[40:78] And We indeed sent messengers before you, some We narrated to you their history and some We did not narrate to you. And there is not a single messenger who can produce a sign without God's permission. And once God's command is issued, and the truth has prevailed, the falsifiers shall perish.

[40:79] God is the One who made the livestock for you to ride on and eat therefrom.

[40:80] And there are benefits for you in them and that you may fulfill your needs through them and on them and on the ships you are carried.

[40:81] And He continues to show you His signs, therefore, which of God's signs can you deny?

[40:82] Do they not travel throughout the land and see what the consequences for those before them were? They were greater in number and were more powerful and left a greater legacy on the land, however, their earnings never enriched them.

[40:83] But, when their messengers went to them with proofs, they rejoiced in the knowledge they already had, and the very thing they ridiculed came back to haunt them.

[40:84] Then once they saw Our Might, they said, We believe in God alone and reject what we used to set up as partners for Him.

[40:85] However, their belief will not benefit them, once they see Our Might. Such is God's system with which He deals with His servants. And the unfaithful shall end up losers.
