12:42 **And he said to him he knew would be delivered of the two: “Remember thou me before thy lord.” But the satan caused him to forget the mention to his lord; so he stayed in prison some years.**
42:1-26
ḥā mīm
ʿayn sīn qāf
Thus reveals to thee, and to those before thee, God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; and He is the Exalted, the Great.
The heavens are nigh rent from above themselves, and the angels give glory with the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those upon the earth. In truth, God, He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
And those who take allies besides Him: God is custodian over them; and thou art not a guardian over them.
And thus We have revealed to thee an Arabic recitation, that thou warn the mother of cities and whoso is around her, and thou warn of the Day of Gathering whereof there is no doubt: a faction will be in the Garden, and a faction in the Inferno.
And had God willed, He would have made them one community; but He makes whom He wills enter into His mercy; and the wrongdoers have neither ally nor helper.
If they have taken allies besides Him: then God, He is the Ally, and He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things powerful.
And that wherein you differ in anything, the judgment thereof is to God: “That is God, my Lord; in whom I place my trust, and to whom I turn.”
The Originator of the Heavens and the Earth has made for you of yourselves pairs, and of the cattle pairs; He creates you thereby — there is nothing like Him — and He is the Hearer, the Seeing.
**To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens; He knows all things.**
He ordained for you of doctrine what He enjoined upon Noah, and that We have revealed to thee, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus: “Uphold the doctrine, and be not divided therein.” Difficult for the idolaters is that to which thou invitest them. God chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself him who turns in repentance.
And they became divided only after knowledge came to them, through sectarian zealotry between them. And were it not for a word that preceded from thy Lord to a stated term, it would have been concluded between them. And those who were caused to inherit the Writ after them are in sceptical doubt concerning it.
So to that then call thou. And keep thou to the path as thou art commanded, and follow thou not their vain desires, but say thou: “I believe in what God sent down of Writ, and I have been commanded to be just among you. God is our Lord and your Lord. We have our works, and you have your works; there is no argument between us and you; God will bring us together, and to Him is the journey’s end.”
And those who dispute concerning God after that answer has been made to him: their argument has no weight with their Lord; and upon them is wrath, and they have a severe punishment.
God it is who has sent down the Writ with the truth and the balance. And what can make thee know that the Hour might be nigh!
Those who believe not in it seek to hasten it; but those who heed warning are in dread of it and know that it is the truth. Nay, those who are in doubt concerning the Hour are in extreme error.
God is subtle with His servants; He provides for whom He wills. And He is the Strong, the Exalted in Might.
Whoso desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase him in his harvest. And whoso desires the harvest of the World, We give him thereof — and he has no portion in the Hereafter.
If they have partners which ordained for them of doctrine that for which God has not given leave[… then are they wrongdoers]. And had it not been for the word of decision, it would have been concluded between them; and the wrongdoers have a painful punishment.
Thou wilt see the wrongdoers fearful of what they have earned; and it will befall them. And those who heed warning and do righteous deeds will be in the lush meadows of the Gardens; they will have what they wish with their Lord. That is the great favour,
That of which God gives glad tidings to His servants who heed warning and do righteous deeds. Say thou: “I ask of you for it no reward save love among kin.” And whoso commits a good deed, We will increase him in good therein; God is forgiving and appreciative.
If they say: “He has invented a lie about God,” — but if God wills, He will seal thy heart; and God eliminates vanity and establishes truth by His words; He knows what is in the breasts.
And He it is that accepts repentance from His servants and pardons evil deeds; and He knows what you do.
And He responds to those who heed warning and do righteous deeds, and increases them of His bounty. And the false claimers of guidance, they have a severe punishment.
