Ha-Mim. The revelation of this Book is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing, the Forgiver of sin and Acceptor of repentance. He is stern in punishment and is highly Bountiful. There is no deity beside Him. To Him shall all return.1 None dispute about the Revelations of Allah2 but those who have disbelieved.3 So let not their strutting about in the lands deceive you.4 Before them the people of Noah also denied, and so did many a host after them. Every nation fell upon its Messenger to seize him: they all tried to defeat the Truth by means of falsehood, but, at last, I seized them. Then, just see, how severe was My punishment! Likewise has this judgment of your Lord also proved true against those people who have denied that they would go to Hell.5 The angels who bear the Divine Throne and those who stand around it, all are glorifying their Lord with His praises. They affirm faith in Him, and ask forgiveness for the believers.6 They say, "Our Lord, You embrace everything in Your mercy and knowledge,7 so forgive and save from the torment of Hell8 those who have repented and followed Your Way.9 Admit them, Our Lord, to the eternal Gardens which You have promised them,10 and (admit therein also) of their parents and wives and children who are righteous.11 You are surely All-Mighty, All-Wise. And deliver them from evils,12 for whomever You delivered from evils on the Day of Resurrection,13 to him You showed great mercy. This is indeed the supreme success."
