The Crouching

Hâ, Mîm.

The send down of the Book is by Allah, the Majestic, the All-Wise.

Most surely in the heavens and the earth there are Signs (proofs) for the believers.

And in your creation and in animals (Allah) multiplied and spread around are Signs (proofs) for a people who are the owners of firm faith (who are the owners Ilmel Yakîn, Aynel Yakîn, Hakkul Yakîn).

And the alternation of the night and the day, and Allah to send down provision from the sky (i.e. rain, snow), subsequently to give life thereby to the earth after its death, and to turn the winds and have them blow, are Signs (proofs) for a people who use their intelligence.

These are the Verses of Allah. We recite them to you with the truth. Then in which speech will they believe after Allah and His Verses?

Woe to every sinful liar.

Those who are recited hear the Verses of Allah. Then insists proudly as if he had not heard them. So, give him the glad tidings of a painful torment.

And when they come to know of any of Our Verses, they take it for a mockery. For those, there is an abasing torment.

Hell is behind them. And that which they have earned has no profit to them, nor those whom they have taken as friends besides Allah. And for them there is a great torment.

This is a Return (the submission of the spirit, physical body, soul and free will of Allah). And as for those who deny the Verses of their Lord, there is a torment upon painful torment.

Allah, it is He Who made the sea subservient to you that the ships may float therein by His Command, and that you may seek of His Generosity (light). It is hoped that you may be thankful.

And He has given to your command everything that are in the heavens and in the earth from Himself (from His Grace). Most surely there are Signs (lessons) in this for a people who reflect.

Say to those who are âmenû (who truly believe): “Forgive the people who do not hope for the (coming) Days of Allah, that (Allah) will punish for what they have earned”.

Whoever does a righteous deed (the soul’s cleansing), it is for his own soul, and whoever does an evil deed, it is against himself. Then to your Lord you shall be returned.

And I swear, We gave the Sons of Israel the Book and Judgment (its laws, authority, rule) and Prophet-hood. And We endowed them of the clean provisions, and We made them excel the Worlds.

And We gave them clear signs (proofs) from the Command (of Allah). But they fell into conflicts out of disputes among themselves after the knowledge had come to them. Surely your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that in which they used to differ.

Then We have set you upon Sharia (a Law) of the Commandment (of Allah). Therefore, follow that (Law)! And do not follow the low desires of those who do not know.

They certainly cannot benefit you at all about something (a command) from Allah. Surely the tyrants are friends of each other, and Allah is the Friend of the owners of takwa (spiritual armor).

This (Qur’ân) is an eye (showing the truth) for people, and a Return (a guide to the submission of the spirit, physical body, soul and free will to Allah) and a Mercy (light) for a people who have firm faithfulness (seeing the metaphysics through the eyes of the soul, because they have reached all the levels of the Yakîn).

Or do those who commit evil deeds think that We will make them like those who believe (who wish their spirits to reach Allah while they are alive) and do righteous deeds (the soul’s cleansing) that their life and their death shall be equal? How bad is what they decided.

And Allah created the heavens and the earth with the truth and that every soul may be given what it has earned (reward or punishment), and they shall not be wronged.

Have you seen a man who deified his soul's desire? And Allah has left him astray upon a knowledge (his useless knowledge), and sealed his ears (souls) and heart (souls), and covered a veil over his sight (the eyes of the soul). In this case who might turn him (return his spirit to Allah before death) after Allah? Do you still not deliberate (think)?

And they said: “That (life) is nothing but our life in this world, we die and we rise. And nothing may destroy us except the time”. And they have no knowledge of that. They only conjecture.

And when Our clear Verses were recited to them, their proof (argument) was nothing but saying: “Bring our fathers if you are truthful”!

Say: “Allah gives you life, them He makes you die. Then gathers you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt”. But most of mankind do not know.

And Allah’s is the Dominion of the heavens and the earth. And on the Day of Permission when the Hour shall come to pass, those who are false will be in Loss.

And you see every nation kneeling down. Every nation is called to their book. On that day, you get recompensed for what you used to do (reward or punishment).

This is Our book that tells you the truth. Surely, We were recording what you used to do (in your life films by Our angels).

But as to those who believed and did righteous deeds (who did the soul’s cleansing by wishing to reach Allah before death), their Lord puts them into His Mercy (light). This is the Clear Salvation.

And but to those who denied are told: “Were you not the ones who were proud when My Verses were recited to you? And you became a sinning people”.

And when it was said: “The Promise of Allah and the Hour (Doomsday) that there is no doubt about it is true”, you said: “We do not know what that Hour (Doomsday) is! We think that it is only a conjecture and We are not the owners of firm faith (not reached all the levels of the yaqîn)”.

And the evil of what they did became manifest to them and that which they used to mock at encompassed them.

And it was said (to them): “Today We will forget you, as you forgot ‘the meeting of this Day of yours’ and your shelter is the Fire and there is not for you any helper”.

This is because you took the Verses of Allah for a mockery and the life of the world deceived you. So, on that Day they are not let go from there nor any excuse is asked (accepted) from them.

Therefore to Allah is due all praise, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the Worlds.

And to Him belongs the Greatness in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Majestic, the All-Wise.
