Ha, Meem. ^[1]

By the clear Book, ^[2]

Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind]. ^[3]

On that night is made distinct every precise matter - ^[4]

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger] ^[5]

As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing. ^[6]

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain. ^[7]

There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers. ^[8]

But they are in doubt, amusing themselves. ^[9]

Covering the people; this is a painful torment. ^[11]

[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers." ^[12]

How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger. ^[13]

Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman." ^[14]

Indeed, We will remove the torment for a little. Indeed, you [disbelievers] will return [to disbelief]. ^[15]

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution. ^[16]

And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger, ^[17]

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger," ^[18]

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority. ^[19]

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me. ^[20]
