Ha, Meem. ^[1]

The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. ^[2]

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers. ^[3]

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith]. ^[4]

And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason. ^[5]

These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe? ^[6]

Woe to every sinful liar ^[7]

Who hears the verses of Allah recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him tidings of a painful punishment. ^[8]

And when he knows anything of Our verses, he takes them in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment. ^[9]

Before them is Hell, and what they had earned will not avail them at all nor what they had taken besides Allah as allies. And they will have a great punishment. ^[10]

This [Qur'an] is guidance. And those who have disbelieved in the verses of their Lord will have a painful punishment of foul nature. ^[11]

It is Allah who subjected to you the sea so that ships may sail upon it by His command and that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful. ^[12]

And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth - all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. ^[13]

Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allah so that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn. ^[14]

Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned. ^[15]

And We did certainly give the Children of Israel the Scripture and judgement and prophethood, and We provided them with good things and preferred them over the worlds. ^[16]

And We gave them clear proofs of the matter [of religion]. And they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ. ^[17]

Then We put you, [O Muhammad], on an ordained way concerning the matter [of religion]; so follow it and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know. ^[18]

Indeed, they will never avail you against Allah at all. And indeed, the wrongdoers are allies of one another; but Allah is the protector of the righteous. ^[19]

This [Qur'an] is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain [in faith]. ^[20]
