AL ZUKHRUF (THE ADORNMENT)

Section 1

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

[Zukhruf 43:1] Ha-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language - Allah, and to whomever He reveals, know their precise meanings.)

[Zukhruf 43:2] By oath of the clear Qur’an.

[Zukhruf 43:3] We have indeed sent it as a Qur’an in the Arabic language, so that you may understand.

[Zukhruf 43:4] And the Qur’an is undoubtedly, in the Original Book with Us, surely the exalted, full of wisdom.

[Zukhruf 43:5] So shall We divert the advice away from you, because you are a nation that exceeds the limits?

[Zukhruf 43:6] And how many Prophets We did send among the earlier people!

[Zukhruf 43:7] And whenever any Prophet came to them, they only mocked at him.

[Zukhruf 43:8] We therefore destroyed the people who were more forceful than these, and the example of the earlier ones has already gone by.

[Zukhruf 43:9] And if you ask them, “Who has created the heavens and the earth?”, they will surely say, “They are created by the Most Honourable, the All Knowing.”

[Zukhruf 43:10] The One Who made the earth a bed you, and made roads for you in it, so that you may be guided.
