45:2The revelation of the Book is from God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

45:3In the heavens and the earth are proofs for the believers.

45:4And in your own creation, and in the creatures He scattered, are signs for people of firm faith.

45:5And in the alternation of night and day, and in the sustenance God sends down from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death, and in the circulation of the winds, are marvels for people who reason.

45:6These are God’s Verses which We recite to you in truth. In which message, after God and His revelations, will they believe?

45:8Who hears God's revelations being recited to him, yet he persists arrogantly, as though he did not hear them. Announce to him a painful punishment.

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.

45:15Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against it; then to your Lord you will be returned.

45:16We gave the Children of Israel the Book, and wisdom, and prophecy; and We provided them with the good things; and We gave them advantage over all other people.

45:17And We gave them precise rulings. They fell into dispute only after knowledge came to them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the things they differed about.

45:18Then We set you upon a pathway of faith, so follow it, and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.

45:19They will not help you against God in any way. The wrongdoers are allies of one another, while God is the Protector of the righteous.

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.

45:25When Our clarifying Verses are recited to them, their only argument is to say, “Bring back our ancestors, if you are truthful.”

45:26Say, “God gives you life, then He makes you die; then He gathers you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.”

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.

45:30As 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.

45:34And it will be said, “Today We forget you, as you forgot the encounter of this Day of yours. Your abode is the Fire, and there are no saviors for you.

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.

45:36Praise belongs to God; Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, Lord of humanity.

45:37To Him belongs all supremacy in the heavens and the earth. He is the Majestic, the Wise.
