42:1   Ha Meem.

42:2   Ayn Seen Qaaf.

42:3   Thus reveals to you, and to those from before you - Allah the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

42:4   To Him (belong) whatever (is) in the heavens and whatever (is) in the earth, and He (is) the Most High, the Most Great.

42:5   Almost the heavens break up from above them, and the Angels glorify (the) praise (of) their Lord and ask for forgiveness for those on the earth. Unquestionably, indeed, Allah, He (is) the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

42:6   And those who take from besides protectors, Allah (is) a Guardian over them, and not you (are) over them a manager.

42:7   And thus We have revealed to you a Quran (in) Arabic, that you may warn (the) mother (of) the towns, and whoever (is) around it, and warn (of the) Day (of) Assembly, (there is) no doubt in it. A party (will be) in Paradise and a party in the Blazing Fire.

42:8   And if willed Allah, He could have made them a community one, but He admits whom He wills in (to) His Mercy. And the wrongdoers, not for them any protector and not any helper.

42:9   Or have they taken from besides Him protectors? But Allah - He (is) the Protector, and He gives life (to) the dead. And He (is) on every thing All-Powerful.

42:10   And whatever you differ in it of a thing, then its ruling (is) to Allah. That (is) Allah, my Lord, upon Him I put my trust and to Him I turn.

42:11   (The) Creator (of) the heavens and the earth. He made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle mates; He multiplies you thereby. (There) is not like Him anything, and He (is) the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

42:12   To Him (belongs) (the) keys (of) the heavens and the earth. He extends the provision for whom He wills and restricts. Indeed, He of every thing (is) All-Knower.

42:13   He has ordained for you of the religion what He enjoined upon Nuh, and that which We have revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa. To establish the religion and not be divided therein. Is difficult on the polytheists what you call them to it. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns.

42:14   And not they became divided until from after [what] came to them the knowledge (out of) rivalry, among them. And if not (for) a word (that) preceded from your Lord for a term specified, surely, it (would have) been settled between them. And indeed, those who were made to inherit the Book from after them (are) surely in doubt concerning it - disquieting.

42:15   So to that then invite, and stand firm as you are commanded and (do) not follow their desires, but say, "I believe in what has sent down Allah of (the) Book, and I am commanded that I do justice between you. Allah (is) our Lord and your Lord. For us our deeds and for you your deeds. (There is) no argument between us and between you. Allah will assemble [between] us, and to Him (is) the final return."

42:16   And those who argue concerning Allah from after [what] response has been made to Him, their argument (is) invalid with their Lord, and upon them (is) wrath, and for them (is) a punishment severe.

42:17   Allah (is) the One Who (has) sent down the Book in truth, and the Balance. And what will make you know? Perhaps the Hour (is) near.

42:18   Seek to hasten [of] it those who (do) not believe in it, and those who believe (are) fearful of it and know that it (is) the truth. Unquestionably, indeed, those who dispute concerning the Hour (are) certainly in error far.

42:19   Allah (is) Subtle with His slaves; He gives provision (to) whom He wills. And He (is) the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.

42:20   Whoever is desiring (the) harvest (of) the Hereafter - We increase for him in his harvest. And whoever is desiring (the) harvest (of) the world, We give him of it, but not for him in the Hereafter any share.

42:21   Or for them (are) partners who have ordained for them of the religion what not has given permission of it Allah And if not (for) a word decisive, surely, it (would have) been judged between them. And indeed, the wrongdoers, for them (is a) punishment painful.

42:22   You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they earned, and it (will) befall [on] them. And those who believe and do righteous deeds (will be) in flowering meadows (of) the Gardens, for them (is) whatever they wish with their Lord. That - it (is) the Bounty the Great.

42:23   That (is of) which gives glad tidings Allah (to) His slaves - those who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, "Not I ask you for it any payment except the love among the relatives." And whoever earns any good, We increase for him therein good. Indeed, Allah (is) Oft-Forgiving, All-Appreciative.

42:24   Or (do) they say, "He has invented about Allah a lie?" But if willed Allah He would seal [over] your heart. And eliminates Allah the falsehood and establishes the truth by His Words. Indeed, He (is) All-Knowing of what (is in) the breasts.

42:25   And He (is) the One Who accepts the repentance of His slaves and pardons [of] the evil, and He knows what you do.

42:26   And He answers those who believe and do righteous deeds and increases (for) them from His Bounty. And the disbelievers - for them (will be) a punishment severe.

42:27   And if extends Allah the provision for His slaves, surely they would rebel in the earth; but He sends down in (due) measure what He wills. Indeed, He of His slaves (is) All-Aware, All-Seer.

42:28   And He (is) the One Who sends down the rain from after [what] they have despaired, and spreads His mercy. And He (is) the Protector, the Praiseworthy.

42:29   And among His Signs (is the) creation (of) the heavens and the earth and whatever He has dispersed in both of them of (the) creatures. And He (is) over their gathering, when He wills, All-Powerful.

42:30   And whatever befalls you of (the) misfortune, (is because) of what have earned your hands. But He pardons [from] much.

42:31   And not you (can) escape in the earth, and not for you from besides Allah any protector and not any helper.

42:32   And among His Signs (are) the ships in the sea, like [the] mountains.

42:33   If He wills, He can cause to become still the wind then they would remain motionless on its back. Indeed, in that surely (are) Signs for everyone patient (and) grateful.

42:34   Or He could destroy them for what they have earned; but He pardons [from] much.

42:35   And may know those who dispute concerning Our Signs (that) not for them any place of refuge.

42:36   So whatever you are given of a thing, (is) but a passing enjoyment (for) the life (of) the world. But what (is) with Allah (is) better and more lasting for those who believe and upon their Lord put (their) trust.

42:37   And those who avoid (the) greater sins and the immoralities, and when that they are angry, they forgive,

42:38   And those who respond to their Lord and establish prayer and their affairs (are conducted by) consultation among them, and from what We have provided them they spend,

42:39   And those who, when strikes them tyranny, they defend themselves.

42:40   (The) recompense (of) an evil (is) an evil like it. But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, then his reward (is) on Allah. Indeed, He (does) not like the wrongdoers.

42:41   And surely whosoever defends himself after he has been wronged, then those not (is) against them any way.

42:42   Only the way against those who oppress the people and rebel in the earth without right. Those for them (is) a punishment painful.

42:43   And whoever (is) patient and forgives, indeed, that (is) surely of matters of determination.

42:44   And whoever lets go astray Allah then not for him any protector from after Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment saying, "Is (there) for return any way?"

42:45   And you will see them being exposed to it, humbled by disgrace, looking with a glance stealthy. And will say those who believed, "Indeed, the losers (are) those who lost themselves and their families (on the) Day (of) the Resurrection. Unquestionably! Indeed, the wrongdoers (are) in a punishment lasting.

42:46   And not will be for them any protector (who) will help them from besides Allah. And whom lets go astray Allah then not for him any way.

42:47   Respond to your Lord from before [that] comes a Day (there is) no averting for it from Allah. Not (is) for you any refuge (on) that Day and not for you any denial.

42:48   Then if they turn away, then not We have sent you over them (as) a guardian. Not (is) on you except the conveyance. And indeed, when We cause to taste [the] man from Us Mercy, he rejoices in it. But if befalls them evil, for what have sent forth their hands then indeed, [the] man (is) ungrateful.

42:49   To Allah (belongs the) dominion (of) the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He grants to whom He wills females, and He grants to whom He wills [the] males.

42:50   Or He grants them males and females; and He makes whom He wills barren. Indeed, He (is) All-Knower, All-Powerful.

42:51   And not is for any human that should speak to him Allah except (by) revelation or from behind a veil or (by) sending a messenger then he reveals by His permission what He wills. Indeed, He (is) Most High, Most Wise.

42:52   And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration by Our Command. Not (did) you know what the Book (is) and not the faith. But We have made it a light, We guide with it whom We will of Our slaves. And indeed, you surely guide to (the) Path Straight,

42:53   (The) path (of) Allah, the One to Whom (belongs) whatever (is) in the heavens and whatever (is) in the earth. Unquestionably! To Allah reach all affairs.
