45:1Ha, Meem.

45:9And when he learns something of Our revelations, he takes them in mockery. For such there is a shameful punishment.

45:10Beyond them lies Hell. What they have earned will not benefit them at all, nor will those they adopted as lords instead of God. They will have a terrible punishment.

45:11This is guidance. Those who blaspheme their Lord’s revelations will have a punishment of agonizing pain.

45:12It is God who placed the sea at your service, so that ships may run through it by His command, and that you may seek of His bounty, and that you may give thanks.

45:13And He placed at your service whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth—all is from Him. In that are signs for a people who think.

45:14Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of God. He will fully recompense people for whatever they have earned.

45:21Do those who perpetrate the evil deeds assume that We will regard them as equal to those who believe and do righteous deeds, whether in their life or their death? Evil is their judgment!

45:22God created the heavens and the earth with justice, so that every soul will be repaid for what it has earned. And they will not be wronged.

45:23Have you considered him who has taken his desire for his god? God has knowingly led him astray, and has sealed his hearing and his heart, and has placed a veil over his vision. Who will guide him after God? Will you not reflect?

45:24And they say, “There is nothing but this our present life; we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except time.” But they have no knowledge of that; they are only guessing.

45:27To God belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth. On the Day when the Hour takes place, on that Day the falsifiers will lose.

45:28You will see every community on its knees; every community will be called to its Book: “Today you are being repaid for what you used to do.

45:29This Book of Ours speaks about you in truth. We have been transcribing what you have been doing.”

45:30As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the clear triumph.

45:32And when it was said, “The promise of God is true, and of the Hour there is no doubt,” you said, “We do not know what the Hour is; we think it is only speculation; we are not convinced.”

45:33The evils of what they did will become evident to them, and the very thing they ridiculed will haunt them.

45:35That is because you took God’s revelations for a joke, and the worldly life lured you.” So today they will not be brought out of it, and they will not be allowed to repent.
