Ĥā-Mīm Hā-Mīm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ān, and none but Allāh (Alone) knows their meanings]. (Ghafir 40:1)
Tanzīlu Al-Kitābi Mina Al-Lahi Al-`Azīzi Al-`Alīmi The revelation of the Book (this Qur'ān) is from Allāh the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. (Ghafir 40:2)
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)
Mā Yujādilu Fī 'Āyāti Al-Lahi 'Illā Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Falā Yaghrurka Taqallubuhum Fī Al-Bilādi 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)
Kadhdhabat Qablahum Qawmu Nūĥin Wa Al-'Aĥzābu Min Ba`dihim Wa Hammat Kullu 'Ummatin Birasūlihim Liya'khudhūhu Wa Jādalū Bil-Bāţili Liyudĥiđū Bihi Al-Ĥaqqa Fa'akhadhtuhum Fakayfa Kāna `Iqābi 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)
Wa Kadhalika Ĥaqqat Kalimatu Rabbika `Alá Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'Annahum 'Aşĥābu An-Nāri Thus has the Word of your Lord been justified against those who disbelieved, that they will be the dwellers of the Fire. (Ghafir 40:6)
Al-Ladhīna Yaĥmilūna Al-`Arsha Wa Man Ĥawlahu Yusabbiĥūna Biĥamdi Rabbihim Wa Yu'uminūna Bihi Wa Yastaghfirūna Lilladhīna 'Āmanū Rabbanā Wasi`ta Kulla Shay'in Raĥmatan Wa `Ilmāanghfir Lilladhīna Tābū Wa Attaba`ū Sabīlaka Wa Qihim `Adhāba Al-Jaĥīmi 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)
Rabbanā Wa 'Adkhilhum Jannāti `Adnin Allatī Wa`adtahum Wa Man Şalaĥa Min 'Ābā'ihim Wa 'Azwājihim Wa Dhurrīyātihim 'Innaka 'Anta Al-`Azīzu Al-Ĥakīmu "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 Faqad Raĥimtahu 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)
'Inna Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Yunādawna Lamaqtu Al-Lahi 'Akbaru Min Maqtikum 'Anfusakum 'Idh Tud`awna 'Ilá Al-'Īmāni Fatakfurūna 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)
Dhālikum Bi'annahu 'Idhā Du`iya Al-Lahu Waĥdahu Kafartum Wa 'In Yushrak Bihi Tu'uminū Fālĥukmu Lillahi Al-`Alīyi Al-Kabīri (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)
d Al-Laha 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)
Yawma Humrizūna Lā Yakhfá `Alá Al-Lahi Minhum Shay'un Limani Al-Mulku Al-Yawma Lillahi Al-Wāĥidi Al-Qahhāri 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)
Al-Yawma Tujzá Kullu Nafsin Bimā Kasabat Lā Žulma Al-Yawma 'Inna Al-Laha Sarī`u Al-Ĥisābi 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)
Ya`lamu Khā'inata Al-'A`yuni Wa Mā Tukh Aş-Şudūru Allāh knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal. (Ghafir 40:19)
Wa Allāhu Yaqđī Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Al-Ladhīna Yad`ūna Min Dūnihi Lā Yaqđūna Bishay'in 'Inna Al-Laha 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 Minhum Qūwatan Wa 'Āthārāan Al-'Arđi Fa'akhadhahumu Al-Lahu Bidhunūbihim Wa Mā Kāna Lahum Mini Al-Lahi 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)
Dhālika Bi'annahum Kānat Ta'tīhim Rusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Fakafarū Fa'akhadhahumu Al-Lahu 'Innahu Qawīyun Shadīdu Al-`Iqābi 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)
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Mūsá Bi'āyātinā Wa Sulţānin Mubīnin And indeed We sent Mûsa (Moses) with Our Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and a manifest authority, (Ghafir 40:23)
'Ilá Fir`awna Wa Hāmāna Wa Qārūna Faqālū Sāĥirun Kadhdhābun To Fir'aun (Pharaoh), Hāmān and Qārûn (Korah), but they called (him): "A sorcerer, a liar!" (Ghafir 40:24)

(Ghafir 40:25)
Wa Qāla Fir`awnu Dharūnī 'Aqtul Mūsá Wa Līad`u Rabbahu 'Innī 'Akhāfu 'An Yubaddila Dīnakum 'Aw 'An Yužhira Fī Al-'Arđi Al-Fasāda 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 Mūsá 'Innī `Udhtu Birabbī Wa Rabbikum Min Kulli Mutakabbirin Lā Yu'uminu Biyawmi Al-Ĥisābi Mûsa (Moses) said: "Verily, I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant who believes not in the Day of Reckoning!" (Ghafir 40:27)
Wa Qāla Rajulun Mu'uminun Min 'Āli Fir`awna Yaktumu 'Īmānahu 'Ataqtulūna Rajulāan 'An Yaqūla Rabbiya Al-Lahu Wa Qad Jā'akum Bil-Bayyināti Min Rabbikum Wa 'In Yaku Kādhibāan Fa`alayhi Kadhibuhu Wa 'In Yaku Şādiqāan Yuşibkum Ba`đu Al-Ladhī Ya`idukum 'Inna Al-Laha 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)
Yā Qawmi Lakumu Al-Mulku Al-Yawma Žāhirīna Fī Al-'Arđi Faman Yanşurunā Min Ba'si Al-Lahi 'In Jā'anā Qāla Fir`awnu Mā 'Urīkum 'Illā Mā 'Ará Wa Mā 'Ahdīkum 'Illā Sabīla Ar-Rashādi "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)
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhī 'Āmana Yā Qawmi 'Innī 'Akhāfu `Alaykum Mithla Yawmi Al-'Aĥzābi And he who believed said: "O my people! Verily, I fear for you a fate like that day (of disaster) of the Confederates (of old)! (Ghafir 40:30)
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)
Wa Yāqawmi 'Innī 'Akhāfu `Alaykum Yawma At-Tanādi "And, O my people! Verily! I fear for you the Day when there will be mutual calling (between the people of Hell and of Paradise)." (Ghafir 40:32)
Yawma Tuwallūna Mudbirīna Mā Lakum Mina Al-Lahi Min `Āşimin Wa Man Yuđlili Al-Lahu 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 Min Qablu Bil-Bayyināti Famā Ziltum Fī Shakkin Mimmā Jā'akum Bihi Ĥattá 'Idhā Halaka Qultum Lan Yab`atha Al-Lahu Min Ba`dihi Rasūlāan Kadhālika Yuđillu Al-Lahu 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)
Al-Ladhīna Yujādilūna Fī 'Āyāti Al-Lahi Bighayri Sulţānin 'Atāhum Kabura Maqtāan `Inda Al-Lahi Wa `Inda Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Kadhālika Yaţba`u Al-Lahu `Alá Kulli Qalbi Mutakabbirin Jabbārin 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)
Wa Qāla Fir`awnu Yā Hāmānu Abni Lī Şarĥāan La`allī 'Ablughu Al-'Asbāba And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "O Hāmān! Build me a tower that I may arrive at the ways, (Ghafir 40:36)

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)

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)

Fawaqāhu Al-Lahu Sayyi'āti Mā Makarū Wa Ĥāqa Bi'āli Fir`awna Sū'u Al-`Adhābi So Allāh saved him from the evils that they plotted (against him), while an evil torment encompassed Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people. (Ghafir 40:45)
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!"

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 Lananşuru Rusulanā 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)

Fāşbir 'Inna Wa`da Al-Lahi 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].

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)

That is Allāh, your Lord, then blessed be Allāh, the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (Ghafir 40:64)
