[to The Opening]


Surah 45.  Al-Jathiya

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  Ha.  Mim.

2.  The Revelation of The Book is from ALLAH, the Mighty, the Wise.

3.  Lo!  in the heavens and the earth are Signs for the faithful.

4.  And in your creation, and all the beasts that He scattered in the earth, are Signs for a folk 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 Signs for a people who have sense.

6.  These are the Signs of ALLAH which We recite to you with truth.  Then with what report besides ALLAH and His Signs will they keep faith?

7.  Woe to each sinful liar,

8.  Who hears the Revelations of ALLAH receive to him, and then continues in pride as though he heard them not.  Give him tidings of a painful doom.

9.  And when he knows anything of Our Revelations he makes 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 will be an awful doom.

11.  This is Guidance.  And those who deny the Revelations of their Lord, for them there is a painful doom of wrath.
