45. Surat al-Jathiyah
٤٥۔ سُورَةُ الجاثِية
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا فَلِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَنْ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيْهَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ
45:15
Whoever does good benefits himself, and whoever does evil harms himself: you will all be returned to your Lord.
Signs for Reflective Seekers
Ha Mim
This Scripture is sent down from God, the Mighty, the Wise.
There are signs in the heavens and the earth for those who believe:
in the creation of you, in the creatures God scattered on earth, there are signs for people of sure faith;
in the alternation of night and day, in the rain God provides, sending it down from the sky and reviving the dead earth with it, and in His shifting of the winds there are signs for those who use their reason.
These are God’s signs that We recount to you [Prophet, to show] the Truth. If they deny God and His revelations, what message will they believe in?
Woe to every lying sinful person
who hears God’s revelations being recited to him, yet persists in his arrogance as if he had never heard them––[Prophet] bring him news of a painful torment!––
who, if he knows anything about Our revelations, ridicules it! Such people will have a humiliating torment:
Hell lurks behind them and their gains will not benefit them, nor will those beings they took as protectors beside God––a tremendous torment awaits them.
This is true guidance; those who reject their Lord’s revelations will have a woeful torment.

تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ
إِنَّ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَـَٔايَٰتࣲ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
وَفِي خَلْقِكُمْ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِن دَآبَّةٍ ءَايَٰتࣱ لِّقَوْمࣲ يُوقِنُونَ
وَٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن رِّزْقࣲ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِيفِ ٱلرِّيَٰحِ ءَايَٰتࣱ لِّقَوْمࣲ يَعْقِلُونَ
تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكَ بِٱلْحَقِّۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ يُؤْمِنُونَ
وَيْلࣱ لِّكُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمࣲ
يَسْمَعُ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرࣰا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَاۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمࣲ
وَإِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا شَيْـًٔا ٱتَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًاۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابࣱ مُّهِينࣱ
مِّن وَرَآئِهِمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُم مَّا كَسَبُوا۟ شَيْـࣰٔا وَلَا مَا ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْلِيَآءَۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
هَٰذَا هُدࣰىۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابࣱ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ
Seas and Israelite Division
It is God who subjected the sea for you––ships sail on it by His command so that you can seek His bounty and give Him thanks––
He has subjected all that is in the heavens and the earth for your benefit, as a gift from Him. There truly are signs in this for those who reflect.
Tell the believers to forgive those who do not fear God’s days [of punishment]––He will requite people for what they have done.
Whoever does good benefits himself, and whoever does evil harms himself: you will all be returned to your Lord.
We gave scripture, wisdom, and prophethood to the Children of Israel; We provided them with good things and favoured them above others;
We gave them clear proof in matters [of religion]. They differed among themselves out of mutual rivalry, only after knowledge came to them: on the Day of Resurrection your Lord will judge between them regarding their differences.
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ ٱلْفُلْكُ فِيهِ بِأَمْرِهِۦ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعࣰا مِّنْهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَٰتࣲ لِّقَوْمࣲ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَغْفِرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَ ٱللَّهِ لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمَۢا بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا فَلِنَفْسِهِۦۖ وَمَنْ أَسَآءَ فَعَلَيْهَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا بَنِيٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحُكْمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنَٰهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم بَيِّنَٰتࣲ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْرِۖ فَمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوٓا۟ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيَۢا بَيْنَهُمْۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
God Protects the Righteous
Now We have set you [Muhammad] on a clear religious path, so follow it. Do not follow the desires of those who lack [true] knowledge-
they cannot help you against God in any way. Wrongdoers only have each other to protect them; the righteous have God Himself as their protector.
This [revelation] is a means of insight for people, a source of guidance and mercy for those of sure faith.
Do those who commit evil deeds really think that We will deal with them in the same way as those who believe and do righteous deeds, that they will be alike in their living and their dying? How badly they judge!
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَٰكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ فَٱتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
إِنَّهُمْ لَن يُغْنُوا۟ عَنكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـࣰٔاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضࣲۖ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
هَٰذَا بَصَٰٓئِرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدࣰى وَرَحْمَةࣱ لِّقَوْمࣲ يُوقِنُونَ
أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَرَحُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَوَآءࣰ مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
