( بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ * حم ـ 1. وَالْكِتابِ الْمُبِينِ ـ 2. إِنَّا جَعَلْناهُ قُرْآناً عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ـ 3. وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتابِ لَدَيْنا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ ـ 4. أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنْكُمُ الذِّكْرَ صَفْحاً أَنْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْماً مُسْرِفِينَ ـ 5. وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ ـ 6. وَما يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلاَّ كانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِؤُنَ ـ 7. فَأَهْلَكْنا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشاً وَمَضى مَثَلُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ـ 8. وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَلِيمُ ـ 9. الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ مَهْداً وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيها سُبُلاً لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ـ 10. وَالَّذِي نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنْشَرْنا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتاً كَذلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ ـ 11. وَالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْواجَ كُلَّها وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْأَنْعامِ ما تَرْكَبُونَ ـ 12. لِتَسْتَوُوا عَلى ظُهُورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنا هذا وَما كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ ـ 13. وَإِنَّا إِلى رَبِّنا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ ـ 14.
1. Ha. Mim.
2. By the Scripture which maketh plain,
3. Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may understand.
4. And Lo! in the Source of Decrees, which We possess, it is indeed sublime, decisive.
5. Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk?
6. How many a prophet did We send among the men of old!
7. And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
8. Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the example of the men of old hath gone (before them).
9. And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them;
10. Who made the earth a resting-place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way;
11. And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
12. He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride.
13. That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord's favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them);
14. And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning.
