حمJuz 26 (Para 26) — Ha Meem, page 4

وَأُزۡلِفَتِ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ غَيۡرَ بَعِيدٍ

And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far

هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٖ

[It will be said], "This is what you were promised - for every returner [to Allah] and keeper [of His covenant]

مَّنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلۡبٖ مُّنِيبٍ

Who feared the Most Merciful unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance]

ٱدۡخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٖۖ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡخُلُودِ

Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Eternity

لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيۡنَا مَزِيدٞ

They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَشَدُّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا فَنَقَّبُواْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ هَلۡ مِن مَّحِيصٍ

And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلۡبٌ أَوۡ أَلۡقَى ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٞ

Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٖ

And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness

فَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ ٱلۡغُرُوبِ

So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡهُ وَأَدۡبَٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ

And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration

وَٱسۡتَمِعۡ يَوۡمَ يُنَادِ ٱلۡمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٖ قَرِيبٖ

And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near

يَوۡمَ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيۡحَةَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡخُرُوجِ

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves]

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَإِلَيۡنَا ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

Indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and to Us is the destination

يَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ عَنۡهُمۡ سِرَاعٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ حَشۡرٌ عَلَيۡنَا يَسِيرٞ

On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us

نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيۡهِم بِجَبَّارٖۖ فَذَكِّرۡ بِٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ

We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Qur'an whoever fears My threat

وَٱلذَّـٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرۡوٗا

By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing

فَٱلۡحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقۡرٗا

And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]

فَٱلۡجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسۡرٗا

And those [ships] sailing with ease

فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمۡرًا

And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٞ

Indeed, what you are promised is true

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٞ

And indeed, the recompense is to occur

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡحُبُكِ

By the heaven containing pathways

إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي قَوۡلٖ مُّخۡتَلِفٖ

Indeed, you are in differing speech

يُؤۡفَكُ عَنۡهُ مَنۡ أُفِكَ

Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded

قُتِلَ ٱلۡخَرَّـٰصُونَ

Destroyed are the falsifiers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ سَاهُونَ

Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless

يَسۡـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلدِّينِ

They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense

يَوۡمَ هُمۡ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفۡتَنُونَ

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

ذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ

Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good

كَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ

They used to sleep but little of the night

وَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ

And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness

وَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ

And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived

وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ

And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]

وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡۚ أَفَلَا تُبۡصِرُونَ

And in yourselves. Then will you not see

وَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ

And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ

Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ

Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham

إِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٖ سَمِينٖ

Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat

فَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةٗۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ

And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy

فَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِي صَرَّةٖ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٞ

And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman

قَالُواْ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ

They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing
