Sura 40 Forgiver (Ghaafer)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[40:1] Hha. M.

[40:2] The revelation of the Book is from God, the Dignified, the Knowledgeable.

[40:3] The Forgiver of sins, Acceptor of repentance, Severe in punishment and Possessor of Abundance. There is no god except Him. To Him is the ultimate destination.

[40:4] None argues against God's revelations except those who disbelieve. Do not be deluded by their free movement in the land.

[40:5] The people of Noah denied before them, as well as the factions that came after them. Every nation plotted against their messenger to seize him. And they argued with falsehood to refute the truth with it, so I seized them. How then was My punishment!

[40:6] And thus was your Lord's Word rightly deserved upon those who disbelieved, that they are indeed to be the companions of the Fire.

[40:7] Those who carry the Throne and those around it glorify their Lord with praise, and they believe in Him, and they ask forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your path, and spare them the punishment of Hellfire.

[40:8] Our Lord, and admit them into the Gardens of Eden that You promised them, as well as the righteous among their parents, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, You are the Dignified, the Wise.

[40:9] And safeguard them from the consequences of sin. On that Day, those whom You have safeguarded from the consequences of sin are indeed those whom You have granted mercy. That is the great triumph."

[40:10] It will be proclaimed to those who disbelieved, "God's abhorrence towards you is greater than your abhorrence towards yourselves, for when you were invited to the faith, you chose to disbelieve."

[40:11] They said, "Our Lord, You have put us to death twice, and You have brought us to life twice. Now we have confessed our sins, is there any way out?"

[40:12] That is because, when God alone was called upon, you disbelieved, and when others were associated with Him, you believed. Judgment belongs to God, the Most High, the Great.

[40:13] He is the One who shows you His signs, and He brings down to you provisions from the sky, but none will remember except those who turn to Him.

[40:14] So call upon God, devoting the religion purely to Him, however much the disbelievers hate it.

[40:15] He is the Possessor of the Highest Ranks and Possessor of the Throne. He casts the Ruh by His command upon whom He wills of His servants so that he would warn about the Day of Meeting;

[40:16] the Day when they will be brought forward, and nothing about them will be hidden from God. To whom belongs the sovereignty today? To God, the One, the All-Conquering.

[40:17] Today, every self will be repaid for what it had earned. There will be no injustice today. Indeed, God is swift in reckoning.

[40:18] Warn them about the Day of Imminence, when the hearts are at the throats, choking them. The transgressors will have no friend nor intercessor to be obeyed.
