Ḥâ-Mĩm.

The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.

Surely in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers.

And in your own creation, and whatever living beings He dispersed, are signs for people of sure faith.

And ˹in˺ the alternation of the day and the night, the provision¹ sent down from the skies by Allah—reviving the earth after its death—and the shifting of the winds, are signs for people of understanding.

These are Allah’s revelations which We recite to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth. So what message will they believe in after ˹denying˺ Allah and His revelations?

Woe to every sinful liar.

They hear Allah’s revelations recited to them, then persist ˹in denial˺ arrogantly as if they did not hear them. So give them good news of a painful punishment.

And whenever they learn anything of Our revelations, they make a mockery of it. It is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment.

Awaiting them is Hell. Their ˹worldly˺ gains will not be of any benefit to them whatsoever, nor will those protectors they have taken besides Allah. And they will suffer a tremendous punishment.

This ˹Quran˺ is ˹true˺ guidance. And those who deny their Lord’s revelations will suffer the ˹worst˺ torment of agonizing pain.

Allah is the One Who has subjected the sea for you so that ships may sail upon it by His command, and that you may seek His bounty, and that perhaps you will be grateful.

He ˹also˺ subjected for you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth—all by His grace. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.
