Kneeling

By the Name

God

the Fount-of-All-Mercy
the Ever-Merciful

Ha Mim

the sending down
of the Book
is from God

the All-Powerful
the Wise

surely
in the heavens and the earth
there are Signs
for those who believe

and in your creation

and the crawling things
Hu spreads around

there are Signs
for a people who have
sure belief

and in the changing
of the night and day

and the providing for you
that God sends down
from heaven

and by it gives life to the earth
after it is dead

and in the turning
of the winds

there are Signs
for a people who understand

those are the Signs of God
that We read to you in truth

so what kind of speech
after God and Hu's Signs
will they believe?

woe to every wicked liar

those who hear
the Signs of God told to them

then carry on full of pride
as if they
have not heard them

so give them the good news
of a painful punishment

and when they know
anything of Our Signs
they ridicule them

for them is waiting
a shameful punishment

Hellfire is at their heels

and what they have earned
will not help them at all

nor will those
they took as protectors
apart from God

for them is waiting
a mighty punishment

this is a guide

and those who do not believe
in the Signs of their Liege

for them is waiting
an angry painful punishment

it is God

Hu has made the sea
to serve you

so that the ships may run on it
at Hu's command

and so you may search out
Hu's bounty

hopefully you will be thankful

and Hu has made
what is in
the heavens and the earth
to serve you

it is all from Hu

surely in that are Signs
for people who think

say to those who believe
that they forgive those
who do not fear
the days of God

so Hu may reward people
for what they have earned

whoever does what is right
it is to their own gain

and whoever does evil
it is to their own loss

then to your Liege
you will be returned

indeed We gave
the Tribe of Israel
the Book
the Judgement
and the Newsbringers

and We provided them
with good things

and We favoured them
above all beings

We gave them Clear Signs
of the command
so they did not differ

except after the knowledge
had come to them
when they
insulted one another

surely your Liege
on the Day of Rising
will decide between them
with regard to
their differences

now We have set you
on the Way of the command

so follow it

and do not follow
the urges of those
who do not know

surely they will be
of no use to you against God

surely those who do evil
are friends of each other

God is the Friend
of those who are
Mindful of God

this is clear proofs
for humankind

and a guide
and a mercy
to those who are certain

or do those who do
evil deeds
think that We will make them
like those who believe
and do what is right

so that their lives and deaths
will be the same?

how badly they judge

God created
the heavens and the earth
in truth

so that every soul
may be rewarded
for what it has earned

they will not be wronged

have you seen
those who treat
their urges as their gods

and God has
led them astray
in full knowledge

and set a seal upon
their hearing
and their hearts

and put a covering
over their eyes?

who will guide them
after God?

will you not remember?

they say

"There is nothing but
our present life

we die and we live
and nothing destroys us
apart from time"

they do not know that

they are only guessing

and when Our Signs
are read to them

Clear Signs

their only argument
is that they say

"Bring us our families
from before
if you speak the truth"

say

"God gives you life
then makes you die

then Hu will gather you
on the Day of Rising
of which there is no doubt

but most people
do not know"

to God belongs the Realm of
the heavens and the earth

and on the day when
the Hour is come
on that day
the liars will be the losers

you will see every nation
kneeling

every nation being
called to its Book

"Today you will be repaid
for what you were doing

this is Our Book
that speaks the truth
against you

We have been recording
everything you did"

and as for those
who have believed
and done what is right

their Liege will let them enter
into Hu's mercy

that is the clear victory

but as for those
who did not believe

"Were My Signs
not spoken to you?

and still you grew proud
and were a people
who did wrong"

and when it was said

"God's promise is true

and so is the Hour
there is no doubt of it"

you said

"We do not know
what the Hour may be

we have only wondered
and are not convinced
in any way"

and the evil deeds
that they have done
will appear to them

and they will be surrounded
by what they ridiculed

and it shall be said

"Today We do not forget you
the way that you forgot
the meeting of this
your day

and your place of safety
is the Fire
and you will have no helpers

that is because
you mocked God's Signs

and the present life
misled you"

so today they will not be
brought out from it

nor will they be allowed
to make up for what they did

so to God belongs praise

the Liege of the heavens
and the Liege of the earth

the Liege of
all the worlds

all greatness belongs to Hu
in the heavens and the earth

Hu is
the All-Powerful
the Wise
