Translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
Info 1 42:1
Ḥâ-Mĩm.
2 42:2
’Aĩn-Sĩn-Qãf.
3 42:3
And so you ˹O Prophet˺ are sent revelation, just like those before you, by Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.
4 42:4
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And He is the Most High, the Greatest.
5 42:5
The heavens nearly burst, one above the other, ˹in awe of Him˺. And the angels glorify the praises of their Lord, and seek forgiveness for those on earth. Surely Allah alone is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
6 42:6
As for those who take other protectors besides Him, Allah is Watchful over them. And you ˹O Prophet˺ are not a keeper over them.
7 42:7
And so We have revealed to you a Quran in Arabic, so you may warn the Mother of Cities1 and everyone around it, and warn of the Day of Gathering—about which there is no doubt—˹when˺ a group will be in Paradise and another in the Blaze.
8 42:8
Had Allah willed, He could have easily made all ˹humanity˺ into a single community ˹of believers˺. But He admits into His mercy whoever He wills. And the wrongdoers will have no protector or helper.
9 42:9
How can they take protectors besides Him? Allah alone is the Protector. He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead. And He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything.
10 42:10
˹Say to the believers, O Prophet,˺ “Whatever you may differ about, its judgment rests with Allah. That is Allah—my Lord. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I ˹always˺ turn.”
