Surah Ghafir (غافر)

The Forgiver · Meccan · 85 ayahs · Juz 24

• 40:1

  حمٓ

  HaaMeem. (Only Allaah knows the correct meaning of these letters.)

• 40:2

  تَنزِيلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

  This Book is revealed from Allaah, the Mighty, the All Knowing.

• 40:3

  غَافِرِ ٱلذَّنۢبِ وَقَابِلِ ٱلتَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ ٱلْعِقَابِ ذِى ٱلطَّوْلِ ۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

  (Allaah is also) The Forgiver of sins, Acceptor of repentance, Severe (quick and firm) in punishment, and All Powerful. There is no Ilaah but Him, and all (creation) shall return to Him (after death for judgement).

• 40:4

  مَا يُجَـٰدِلُ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَلَا يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ

  It is only those who commit kufr who argue about Allaah's Aayaat (an act for which they will soon be punished). So let not their travelling about through the lands (their apparent freedom to do as they please) deceive (delude) you (into thinking that they will not be punished. Allaah is only allowing them grace until the period He has destined for their punishment).

• 40:5

  كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍۭ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ وَجَـٰدَلُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ

  Before them, the nation of Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام rejected (the message of the Ambiyaa), as well as the many groups after them. Every nation resolved (intended) to seize (harm) their Rasool and they used falsehood to argue (disputed) in an effort to refute (deny) the truth. So I seized (punished) them instead. How (severe) was My punishment?

• 40:6

  وَكَذَٰلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ

  Thus, the declaration (decision) of your Rabb has been passed (already decided) against the Kaafiroon; that they shall certainly be from among the inmates of the Fire.

• 40:7

  ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَٱغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

  The angels carrying the Throne, as well as those around them, glorify the praises of their Rabb, believe in Him, and seek forgiveness for those who have Imaan. (They make du'aa saying,) "O our Rabb! Your mercy and knowledge encompass (embrace) everything. So forgive those who repent and who follow Your path. And save them from the punishment of the Blaze (Jahannam)."
