Surah Al-Jathiya In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Ḥâ-Mĩm. ( Quran Surah Al-Jathiya 45:1 ) The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise. ( Quran Surah Al-Jathiya 45:2 ) Surely in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. ( Quran Surah Al-Jathiya 45:3 ) And in your own creation, and whatever living beings He dispersed, are signs for people of sure faith. ( Quran 45:4 ) And ˹in˺ the alternation of the day and the night, the provision 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. ( Quran 45:5 ) 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? ( Quran 45:6 ) Woe to every sinful liar. ( Quran 45:7 ) 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. ( Quran 45:8 ) And whenever they learn anything of Our revelations, they make a mockery of it. It is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment. ( Quran 45:9 ) 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. ( Quran 45:10 ) This ˹Quran˺ is ˹true˺ guidance. And those who deny their Lord’s revelations will suffer the ˹worst˺ torment of agonizing pain. ( Quran 45:11 ) 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. ( Quran 45:12 ) 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. ( Quran 45:13 ) ˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believers to forgive those who do not fear Allah’s days ˹of torment˺, so that He will reward each group for what they used to commit. ( Quran 45:14 ) Whoever does good, it is to their own benefit. And whoever does evil, it is to their own loss. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned. ( Quran 45:15 ) Indeed, We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood; granted them good, lawful provisions; and favoured them above the others. ( Quran 45:16 ) We ˹also˺ gave them clear commandments regarding ˹their˺ faith. But it was not until knowledge came to them that they differed out of mutual envy. Surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences. ( Quran 45:17 ) Now We have set you ˹O Prophet˺ on the ˹clear˺ Way of faith. So follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know ˹the truth˺. ( Quran 45:18 ) They certainly can be of no benefit to you against Allah whatsoever. Surely the wrongdoers are patrons of each other, whereas Allah is the Patron of the righteous. ( Quran 45:19 ) This ˹Quran˺ is an insight for humanity—a guide and mercy for people of sure faith. ( Quran 45:20 ) Or do those who commit evil deeds ˹simply˺ think that We will make them equal—in their life and after their death—to those who believe and do good? How wrong is their judgment! ( Quran 45:21 ) For Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose, so that every soul may be paid back for what it has committed. And none will be wronged. ( Quran 45:22 ) Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ those who have taken their own desires as their god? ˹And so˺ Allah left them to stray knowingly, sealed their hearing and hearts, and placed a cover on their sight. Who then can guide them after Allah? Will you ˹all˺ not then be mindful? ( Quran 45:23 ) And they argue, “There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die; others are born. And nothing destroys us but ˹the passage of˺ time.” Yet they have no knowledge ˹in support˺ of this ˹claim˺. They only speculate. ( Quran 45:24 ) And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: “Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!” ( Quran 45:25 ) Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ gives you life, then causes you to die, then will gather you ˹all˺ on the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.” ( Quran 45:26 ) To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. On the Day the Hour will be established, the people of falsehood will then be in ˹total˺ loss. ( Quran 45:27 ) And you will see every faith-community on its knees. Every community will be summoned to its record ˹of deeds˺. ˹They all will be told,˺ “This Day you will be rewarded for what you used to do. ( Quran 45:28 ) This record of Ours speaks the truth about you. Indeed, We always had your deeds recorded ˹by the angels˺.” ( Quran 45:29 ) As for those who believed and did good, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is ˹truly˺ the absolute triumph. ( Quran 45:30 ) And as for those who disbelieved, ˹they will be told,˺ “Were My revelations not recited to you, yet you acted arrogantly and were a wicked people? ( Quran 45:31 ) And whenever it was said ˹to you˺, ‘Surely Allah’s promise ˹of judgment˺ is true and there is no doubt about the Hour,’ you said ˹mockingly˺, ‘We do not know what the Hour is! We think it is no more than speculation, and we are not convinced ˹that it will ever come˺.’” ( Quran 45:32 ) And the evil ˹consequences˺ of their deeds will unfold before them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule. ( Quran 45:33 ) It will be said, “This Day We will neglect you as you neglected the meeting of this Day of yours! Your home will be the Fire, and you will have no helpers. ( Quran 45:34 ) This is because you made a mockery of Allah’s revelations, and were deluded by ˹your˺ worldly life.” So ˹from˺ that Day ˹on˺ they will not be taken out of the Fire, nor will they be allowed to appease ˹their Lord˺. ( Quran 45:35 ) So all praise is for Allah—Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of all worlds. ( Quran 45:36 ) To Him belongs ˹all˺ Majesty in the heavens and the earth. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise. ( Quran 45:37 ) SHARE THIS:
