And so We have sent to you ˹O Prophet˺ a revelation by Our command. You did not know of ˹this˺ Book and faith ˹before˺. But We have made it a light, by which We guide whoever We will of Our servants. And you are truly leading ˹all˺ to the Straight Path—
42:52
the Path of Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Surely to Allah all matters will return ˹for judgment˺.
42:53
Ḥâ-Mĩm.
43:1
By the clear Book!
43:2
Certainly, We have made it a Quran in Arabic so perhaps you will understand.
43:3
And indeed, it is—in the Master Record1 with Us—highly esteemed, rich in wisdom.
43:4
Should We then turn the ˹Quranic˺ Reminder away from you ˹simply˺ because you have been a transgressing people?
43:5
˹Imagine˺ how many prophets We sent to those ˹destroyed˺ before!
43:6
But no prophet ever came to them without being mocked.
43:7
So We destroyed those who were far mightier than these ˹Meccans˺. The examples of ˹their˺ predecessors have ˹already˺ been related.1
43:8
If you ask them ˹O Prophet˺ who created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say, “The Almighty, All-Knowing did.”
43:9
˹He is the One˺ Who has laid out the earth for you, and set in it pathways for you so that you may find your way.
43:10
