46:1-14
ḥā mīm

The revelation of the Writ is from God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

We created not the heavens and the earth and what is between them but in truth and for a stated term; but those who ignore warning, from that whereof they are warned, turn away.

Say thou: “Have you seen to what you call besides God? Show me what they have created of the earth. If they have a partnership in the heavens: bring me a Writ from before this, or some remnant of knowledge, if you be truthful.”

And who is further astray than he who calls, besides God, to such as will not respond to him until the Day of Resurrection? And they of their call are unaware;

And when mankind is gathered, they will be enemies to them and be deniers of their service.

And when Our proofs are recited to them as clear signs, those who ignore warning say of the truth when it has come to them: “This is obvious sorcery.”

If they say: “He has invented it,” say thou: “If I have invented it, then you will not possess for me anything against God. He best knows what you say concerning it; sufficient is He as witness between me and you”; and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

Say thou: “I am no new thing among the messengers, and I know not what will be done with me or with you. I follow only what is revealed to me; and I am only a clear warner.”

Say thou: “Have you considered: if it be from God and you deny it, and a witness bore witness among the children of Israel to the like thereof, and he believed when you have waxed proud[…would you then not be wrongdoers.]?” God guides not the wrongdoing people.

And those who ignore warning say of those who heed warning: “Had it been good, they would not have preceded us to it.” And when they are not guided by it, then they will say: “This is an ancient falsehood.”

But before it was the Writ of Moses a model and a mercy; and this is a confirming Writ, in an Arabic tongue, that it might warn those who do wrong, and bring glad tidings to the doers of good:

Those who say: “Our Lord is God,” then keep to the path: — no fear will be upon them, nor will they grieve —

Those are the companions of the Garden, they abiding eternally therein as reward for what they did.

47:1-15
Those who ignore warning and turn away from the path of God, He sends their deeds astray;

But those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and believe in what was sent down upon Muḥammad — and it is the truth from their Lord — He will remove from them their evil deeds, and make right their state.

For it is that those who ignore warning follow falsehood, and that those who heed warning follow the truth from their Lord! Thus does God strike for men their similitudes.

And when you meet those who ignore warning: — then the smiting of the necks. When you have battled them strenuously, then make strong the bonds; then: — either grace thereafter or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. That when, had God willed, He would have taken revenge upon them; but that He might try some of you by means of others[… he wills that you should fight.]. And those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not send their deeds astray;

He will guide them, and make right their state,

And make them enter the Garden He has made known to them.

O you who heed warning: if you help God, He will help you and make firm your feet.

But those who ignore warning: for them is wretchedness; and He will lead their deeds astray,

For it is that they were averse to what God sent down! So He made vain their deeds.

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the final outcome of those who were before them? God destroyed them; and for the false claimers of guidance are the likes thereof,

For it is that God is the protector of those who heed warning, and that the false claimers of guidance have no protector!

God makes those who heed warning and do righteous deeds enter gardens beneath which rivers flow. But those who ignore warning enjoy themselves, and eat as the cattle eat; and the Fire is a dwelling for them.

And how many a city stronger than thy city which has turned thee out have We destroyed! And there was no helper for them.

Is then he who is on clear evidence from his Lord — like: him to whom has been made fair the evil of his deeds, and they follow their vain desires?

(The likeness of the Garden which is promised those of prudent fear: therein are rivers of water incorruptible, and rivers of milk of unchanging taste, and rivers of wine delightful to the drinkers, and rivers of purified honey; and they have therein every fruit, and pardon from their Lord.) — like: him who abides eternally in the Fire, and they are given to drink scalding water that lacerates their bowels?
