Ha Meem.

This is revelation of the Book from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Surely in the heavens and the earth, there are signs for those who have faith.

And in your creation and in the living beings that He scatters on the earth, there are signs for a people who believe.

And in the alternation of the day and the night, and in the provision He has sent down from the sky, then has revived the earth after its death, and in changing of the winds, there are signs for a people who understand.

These are Allah's verses that We recite to you rightly. Then, in which discourse, after Allah and His verses, will they believe?

Woe to every sinful liar,

who hears Allah's verses being recited to him, then he remains adamant out of arrogance, as if he never heard them. So give him the ` good news' of a painful punishment.

And when he learns about something of Our verses, he takes it as a laughing stock. For such people, there is a humiliating punishment.

In front of them, there is Jahannam. And whatever they have earned will not be of any use to them, nor the patrons they have adopted instead of Allah. And for them, there is a great punishment.
