Ghāfiri Adh-Dhanbi Wa Qābili At-Tawbi Shadīdi Al-`Iqābi Dhī Aţ-Ţawli ۖ Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa ۖ 'Ilayhi Al-Maşīru
The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favours), Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return. (Ghafir 40:3)
None disputes in the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allāh but those who disbelieve. So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land (for their purposes) deceive you [O Muhammad SAW, their ultimate end will be the Fire of Hell]! (Ghafir 40:4)

The people of Nûh (Noah) and the confederates after them denied (their Messengers) before these, and every (disbelieving) nation plotted against their Messenger to seize him, and disputed by means of falsehood to refute therewith the truth. So I seized them (with punishment), and how (terrible) was My punishment! (Ghafir 40:5)

Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allāh) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh) (saying): "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the torment of the blazing Fire! (Ghafir 40:7)

"Our Lord! And make them enter the 'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens) which you have promised them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring! Verily, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Ghafir 40:8)
Wa Qihimu As-Sayyi'āti ۚ Wa Man Taqī As-Sayyi'āti Yawma'idhin FaqadRaĥimtahu ۚ Wa Dhalika Huwa Al-Fawzu Al-`Ažīmu
"And save them from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins, and whomsoever You save from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins (i.e. excuse them) that Day, him verily, You have taken into mercy." And that is the supreme success. (Ghafir 40:9)
Those who disbelieve will be addressed (at the time of entering into the Fire): "Allāh's aversion was greater towards you (in the worldly life when you used to reject the Faith) than your aversion towards one another (now in the Fire of Hell, as you are now enemies to one another), when you were called to the Faith but you used to refuse." (Ghafir 40:10)
Qālū Rabbanā 'Amattanā Athnatayni Wa 'Aĥyaytanā Athnatayni Fā`tarafnā Bidhunūbinā Fahal 'Ilá Khurūjin Min Sabīlin
They will say: "Our Lord! You have made us to die twice (i.e. we were dead in the loins of our fathers and dead after our deaths in this world), and You have given us life twice (i.e. life when we were born and life when we are Resurrected)! Now we confess our sins, then is there any way to get out (of the Fire)?" (Ghafir 40:11)
(It will be said): "This is because, when Allāh Alone was invoked (in worship, etc.) you disbelieved, but when partners were joined to Him, you believed! So the judgement is only with Allāh, the Most High, the Most Great!" (Ghafir 40:12)
Huwa Al-Ladhī Yurīkum 'Āyātihi Wa Yunazzilu Lakum Mina As-Samā'i Rizqāan ۚ Wa Mā Yatadhakkaru 'Illā Man Yunību
It is He, Who shows you His Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky. And none remembers but those who turn (to Allāh) in obedience and in repentance (by begging His Pardon and by worshipping and obeying Him Alone and none else). (Ghafir 40:13)
Fād`ū Allaha Mukhlişīna Lahu Ad-Dīna Wa Law Kariha Al-Kāfirūna
So, call you (O Muhammad SAW and the believers) upon (or invoke) Allāh making (your) worship pure for Him (Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allāh's sake only and not to show-off and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). However much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allāh) may hate (it). (Ghafir 40:14)
Rafī`u Ad-Darajāti Dhū Al-`Arshi Yulqī Ar-Rūĥa Min 'Amrihi `Alá Man Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi Liyundhira Yawma At-Talāqi
(He is Allāh) Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne. He sends the Inspiration by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives inspiration) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (i.e. The Day of Resurrection). (Ghafir 40:15)
The Day when they will (all) come out, nothing of them will be hidden from Allāh. Whose is the kingdom this Day? (Allāh Himself will reply to His Question): It is Allāh's the One, the Irresistible! (Ghafir 40:16)
This Day shall every person be recompensed for what he earned. No injustice (shall be done to anybody). Truly, Allāh is Swift in reckoning. (Ghafir 40:17)
Wa 'Andhirhum Yawma Al-'Āzifati 'Idhi Al-Qulūbu Ladá Al-Ĥanājiri Kāžimīna ۚ Mā Lilžžālimīna Min Ĥamīmin Wa Lā Shafī`in Yuţā`u
And warn them (O Muhammad SAW) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them (hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out. There will be no friend, nor an intercessor for the Zālimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), who could be given heed to. (Ghafir 40:18)
Wa Allāhu Yaqđī Bil-Ĥaqqi ۖ Wa Al-Ladhīna Yad`ūna Min Dūnihi Lā Yaqđūna Bishay'in ۗ 'Inna Allāha Huwa As-Samī`u Al-Başīru
And Allāh judges with truth, while those to whom they invoke besides Him, cannot judge anything. Certainly, Allāh! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (Ghafir 40:20)
'Awa Lam Yasīrū Fī Al-'Arđi Fayanžurū Kayfa Kāna `Āqibatu Al-Ladhīna Kānū Min ۚ Qablihim Kānū Hum 'Ashadda MinhumQūwatan Wa 'Āthārāan Fī Al-'Arđi Fa'akhadhahumu Allāhu Bidhunūbihim Wa Mā Kāna Lahum Mini Allāhi Min Wāqin
Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? They were superior to them in strength, and in the traces (which they left) in the land. But Allāh seized them with punishment for their sins. And none had they to protect them from Allāh. (Ghafir 40:21)
That was because there came to them their Messengers with clear evidences, proofs and signs but they disbelieved (in them). So Allāh seized them with punishment. Verily, He is All-Strong, Severe in punishment. (Ghafir 40:22)
Falammā Jā'ahum Bil-Ĥaqqi Min `Indinā Qālū Aqtulū 'Abnā'a Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Ma`ahu Wa Astaĥyū Nisā'ahum ۚ Wa Mā Kaydu Al-Kāfirīna 'Illā Fī Đalālin
Then, when he brought them the Truth from Us, they said: "Kill the sons of those who believe with him and let their women live", but the plots of disbelievers are nothing but errors! (Ghafir 40:25)
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Leave me to kill Mûsa (Moses), and let him call his Lord (to stop me from killing him)! I fear that he may change your religion, or that he may cause mischief to appear in the land!" (Ghafir 40:26)
Wa Qāla Rajulun Mu'uminun Min 'Āli Fir`awna Yaktumu 'Īmānahu~ 'Ataqtulūna Rajulāan 'An Yaqūla Rabbiya Allāhu Wa Qad Jā'akum Bil-Bayyināti MinRabbikum ۖ Wa 'In Yaku Kādhibāan Fa`alayhi Kadhibuhu ۖ Wa 'In Yaku Şādiqāan Yuşibkum Ba`đu Al-Ladhī Ya`idukum ۖ 'Inna Allāha Lā Yahdī Man Huwa Musrifun Kadhdhābun
And a believing man of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) family, who hid his faith said: "Would you kill a man because he says: My Lord is Allāh, and he has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord? And if he is a liar, upon him will be (the sin of) his lie; but if he is telling the truth, then some of that (calamity) wherewith he threatens you will befall on you." Verily, Allāh guides not one who is a Musrif (a polytheist, or a murderer who shed blood without a right, or those who commit great sins, oppressor, transgressor), a liar! (Ghafir 40:28)
"O my people! Yours is the kingdom this day, you are uppermost in the land. But who will save us from the Torment of Allāh, should it befall us?" Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "I show you only that which I see (correct), and I guide you only to the path of right policy!" (Ghafir 40:29)
Mithla Da'bi Qawmi Nūĥin Wa `Ādin Wa Thamūda Wa Al-Ladhīna Min Ba`dihim ۚ Wa Mā Al-Lahu Yurīdu Žulmāan Lil`ibādi
"Like the fate of the people of Nûh (Noah), and 'Ad, and Thamûd and those who came after them. And Allāh wills no injustice for (His) slaves. (Ghafir 40:31)
Yawma Tuwallūna Mudbirīna Mā Lakum Mina Allāhi Min `Āşimin ۗ Wa Man Yuđlili Allāhu Famā Lahu Min Hādin
A Day when you will turn your backs and flee having no protector from Allāh, And whomsoever Allāh sends astray, for him there is no guide. (Ghafir 40:33)
Wa Laqad Jā'akum Yūsufu MinQablu Bil-Bayyināti Famā Ziltum Fī Shakkin Mimmā Jā'akum Bihi ۖ Ĥattá 'Idhā Halaka Qultum Lan Yab`atha Allāhu Min Ba`dihiRasūlāan ۚ Kadhālika Yuđillu Allāhu Man Huwa Musrifun Murtābun
And indeed Yûsuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you, till when he died you said: "No Messenger will Allāh send after him." Thus Allāh leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtāb (one who doubts Allāh's Warning and His Oneness). (Ghafir 40:34)
Those who dispute about the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allāh, without any authority that has come to them, it is greatly hateful and disgusting to Allāh and to those who believe. Thus does Allāh seal up the heart of every arrogant, tyrant. (So they cannot guide themselves to the Right Path). (Ghafir 40:35)
'Asbāba As-Samāwāti Fa'aţţali`a 'Ilá 'Ilahi Mūsá Wa 'Innī La'ažunnuhu Kādhibāan ۚ Wa Kadhalika Zuyyina Lifir`awna Sū'u `Amalihi Wa Şudda `Ani As-Sabīli ۚ Wa Mā Kaydu Fir`awna 'Illā Fī Tabābin
"The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilāh (God) of Mûsa (Moses) but verily, I think him to be a liar." Thus it was made fair-seeming, in Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the (Right) Path, and the plot of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led to nothing but loss and destruction (for him). (Ghafir 40:37)
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhī 'Āmana Yā Qawmi Attabi`ūnī 'Ahdikum Sabīla Ar-Rashādi
And the man who believed said: "O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct [i.e. guide you to Allāh's religion of Islāmic Monotheism with which Mûsa (Moses) has been sent]. (Ghafir 40:38)
"O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but a (quick passing) enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever." (Ghafir 40:39)

"Whosoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof, and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allāh), such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein (with all things in abundance) without limit. (Ghafir 40:40)

Lā Jarama 'Annamā Tad`ūnanī 'Ilayhi Laysa Lahu Da`watun Fī Ad-Dunyā Wa Lā Fī Al-'Ākhirati Wa 'Anna Maraddanā 'Ilá Allāhi Wa 'Anna Al-Musrifīna Hum 'Aşĥābu An-Nāri
"No doubt you call me to (worship) one who cannot grant (me) my request (or respond to my invocation) in this world or in the Hereafter. And our return will be to Allāh, and Al-Musrifûn (i.e. polytheists and arrogants, those who commit great sins, the transgressors of Allāh's set limits)! They shall be the dwellers of the Fire! (Ghafir 40:43)
An-Nāru Yu`rađūna `Alayhā Ghudūwāan Wa `Ashīyāan ۖ Wa Yawma Taqūmu As-Sā`atu 'Adkhilū 'Āla Fir`awna 'Ashadda Al-`Adhābi
The Fire; they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon, and on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): "Cause Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people to enter the severest torment!" (Ghafir 40:46)

And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant; "Verily! We followed you, can you then take from us some portion of the Fire?" (Ghafir 40:47)
They will say: "Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences and signs? They will say: "Yes." They will reply: "Then call (as you like)! And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in error!" (Ghafir 40:50)
'Innā LananşuruRusulanā Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Yawma Yaqūmu Al-'Ash/hādu
Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh Islāmic Monotheism) in this world's life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection), (Ghafir 40:51)
Yawma Lā Yanfa`u Až-Žālimīna Ma`dhiratuhum ۖ Wa Lahumu Al-La`natu Wa Lahum Sū'u Ad-Dāri
The Day when their excuses will be of no profit to Zālimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh). Theirs will be the curse, and theirs will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hell-fire). (Ghafir 40:52)
A guide and a reminder for men of understanding. (Ghafir 40:54)

Fāşbir 'Inna Wa`da Allāhi Ĥaqqun Wa Astaghfir Lidhanbika Wa Sabbiĥ Biĥamdi Rabbika Bil-`Ashīyi Wa Al-'Ibkāri
So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allāh is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault[], and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkār (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before midnoon) [it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salāt (prayers) or the 'Asr and Fajr prayers]. (Ghafir 40:55)
Verily, those who dispute about the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allāh, without any authority having come to them, there is nothing else in their breasts except pride [to accept you (Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger of Allāh and to obey you]. They will never have it (i.e. Prophethood which Allāh has bestowed upon you). So seek refuge in Allāh (O Muhammad SAW from the arrogants). Verily, it is He Who is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (Ghafir 40:56)
Wa Mā Yastawī Al-'A`má Wa Al-Başīru Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Wa Lā Al-Musī'u ۚ Qalīlāan Mā Tatadhakkarūna
And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh Islāmic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, and those who do evil. Little do you remember! (Ghafir 40:58)
And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islāmic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islāmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!" (Ghafir 40:60)
Allāh, it is He Who has made the night for you that you may rest therein and the day for you to see. Truly, Allāh is full of Bounty to mankind, yet most of mankind give no thanks. (Ghafir 40:61)
That is Allāh, your Lord, the Creator of all things, Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), where then you are turning away (from Allāh, by worshipping others instead of Him)! (Ghafir 40:62)
Al-Lahu Al-Ladhī Ja`ala Lakumu Al-'Arđa Qarārāan Wa As-Samā'a Binā'an Wa Şawwarakum Fa'aĥsana Şuwarakum Wa Razaqakum Mina Aţ-Ţayyibāti ۚ Dhalikumu Allāhu Rabbukum ۖ Fatabāraka Allāhu Rabbu Al-`Ālamīna
Allāh, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord, then blessed be Allāh, the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (Ghafir 40:64)
Huwa Al-Ĥayyu Lā 'Ilāha 'Illā Huwa Fād`ūhu Mukhlişīna Lahu Ad-Dīna ۗ Al-Ĥamdu Lillāh Rabbi Al-`Ālamīna
He is the Ever Living, Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone (by worshipping Him Alone, and none else, and by doing righteous deeds sincerely for Allāh's sake only, and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (Ghafir 40:65)

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I have been forbidden to worship those whom you worship besides Allāh, since there have come to me evidences from my Lord, and I am commanded to submit (in Islām) to the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (Ghafir 40:66)

He, it is Who has created you (Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah [mixed semen drops of male and female discharge (i.e. Adam's offspring)] then from a clot (a piece of coagulated blood), then brings you forth as children, then (makes you grow) to reach the age of full strength, and afterwards to be old (men and women), though some among you die before, and that you reach an appointed term, in order that you may understand. (Ghafir 40:67)
See you not those who dispute about the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allāh? How are they turning away (from the truth, i.e. Islāmic Monotheism to the falsehood of polytheism)? (Ghafir 40:69)
Al-Ladhīna Kadhdhabū Bil-Kitābi Wa Bimā 'Arsalnā BihiRusulanā ۖ Fasawfa Ya`lamūna
Those who deny the Book (this Qur'ān), and that with which We sent Our Messengers (i.e. to worship none but Allāh Alone sincerely, and to reject all false deities and to confess resurrection after the death for recompense) they will come to know (when they will be cast into the Fire of Hell). (Ghafir 40:70)
Min Dūni Allāhi ۖ Qālū Đallū `Annā Bal Lam Nakun Nad`ū MinQablu Shay'āan ۚ Kadhālika Yuđillu Allāhu Al-Kāfirīna
"Besides Allāh" They will say: "They have vanished from us: Nay, we did not invoke (worship) anything before." Thus Allāh leads astray the disbelievers. (Ghafir 40:74)
That was because you had been exulting in the earth without any right (by worshipping others instead of Allāh and by committing crimes), and that you used to rejoice extremely (in your error). (Ghafir 40:75)
So be patient (O Muhammad SAW), verily, the Promise of Allāh is true, and whether We show you (O Muhammad SAW in this world) some part of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die, then it is to Us they all shall be returned. (Ghafir 40:77)
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Rusulāan MinQablika Minhum ManQaşaşnā `Alayka Wa Minhum Man Lam Naqşuş `Alayka ۗ Wa Mā Kāna Lirasūlin 'An Ya'tiya Bi'āyatin 'Illā Bi'idhni Allāhi ۚ Fa'idhā Jā'a 'Amru Allāhi Quđiya Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Khasira Hunālika Al-Mubţilūna
And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW); of some of them We have related to you their story[] and of some We have not related to you their story, and it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the Leave of Allāh. So, when comes the Commandment of Allāh, the matter will be decided with truth, and the followers of falsehood will then be lost. (Ghafir 40:78)
Wa Lakum Fīhā Manāfi`u Wa Litablughū `Alayhā Ĥājatan Fī Şudūrikum Wa `Alayhā Wa `Alá Al-Fulki Tuĥmalūna
And you have (many other) benefits from them, and that you may reach by their means a desire that is in your breasts (i.e. carry your goods, loads, etc.), and on them and on ships you are carried. (Ghafir 40:80)
Wa Yurīkum 'Āyātihi Fa'ayya 'Āyāti Allāhi Tunkirūna
And He shows you His Signs and Proofs (of His Oneness in all the above mentioned things). Which, then of the Signs and Proofs of Allāh do you deny? (Ghafir 40:81)
Have they not travelled through the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than them and mightier in strength, and in the traces (they have left behind them) in the land, yet all that they used to earn availed them not. (Ghafir 40:82)
Falammā Jā'at/humRusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Fariĥū Bimā `Indahum Mina Al-`Ilmi Wa Ĥāqa Bihim Mā Kānū Bihi Yastahzi'ūn
Then when their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things): And that at which they used to mock, surrounded them (i.e. the punishment). (Ghafir 40:83)
So when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We believe in Allāh Alone and reject (all) that we used to associate with Him as (His) partners. (Ghafir 40:84)
Then their Faith (in Islāmic Monotheism) could not avail them when they saw Our punishment. (Like) this has been the way of Allāh in dealing with His slaves. And there the disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them). (Ghafir 40:85)
