Surah Introduction

In essence, this Meccan sûrah emphasizes the main concepts highlighted both in the previous and following sûrahs-namely Allah being infinite in mercy and severe in punishment, and humanity being either grateful or ungrateful to their Lord along with the reward that ensues. All this is embodied in the story of Moses (verses 23- 54)-with Pharaoh as the ungrateful disbeliever and an unidentified man from Pharaoh's people as the grateful believer. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) is repeatedly advised to be patient, keeping in mind that Allah never lets His prophets down (verses 51 and 77).


Translation of Verse 1-9
1. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Ḥâ-Mĩm .

2. The revelation of this Book is from Allah-the Almighty, All-Knowing,

3. the Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, the Severe in punishment, and Infinite in bounty. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. To Him ˹alone˺ is the final return.

4. None disputes the signs of Allah except the disbelievers, so do not be deceived by their prosperity throughout the land.

5. Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺, as did ˹other˺ enemy forces afterwards. Every community plotted against its prophet to seize him, and argued in falsehood, ˹hoping˺ to discredit the truth with it. So I seized them. And how ˹horrible˺ was My punishment!

6. And so your Lord's decree has been proven true against the disbelievers-that they will be the inmates of the Fire.

7. Those ˹angels˺ who carry the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, have faith in Him, and seek forgiveness for the believers, ˹praying:˺ "Our Lord! You encompass everything in ˹Your˺ mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and protect them from the torment of the Hellfire.

8. Our Lord! Admit them into the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. You ˹alone˺ are truly the Almighty, All- Wise.

9. And protect them from ˹the consequences of their˺ evil deeds. For whoever You protect from the evil of their deeds on that Day will have been shown Your mercy. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph."
