In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1. Ha-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. 2. The revelation of the Book (this Qur’an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 3. Verily, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. 4. And in your creation, and what He scattered (through the earth) of moving (living) creatures are signs for people who have Faith with certainty. 5. And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision (rain) that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the winds (i.e. sometimes towards the east or north, and sometimes towards the south or west etc., sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain etc., and sometimes bringing the torment), are signs for a people who understand. 6. These are the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of Allah, which We recite to you (O Muhammad ) with truth. Then in which speech after Allah and His Ayat will they believe? 7. Woe to every sinful liar, 8. Who hears the Verses of Allah (being) recited to him, yet persists with pride as if he heard them not. So announce to him a painful torment! 9. And when he learns something of Our Verses (this Qur’an), he makes them a jest. For such there will be a humiliating torment. 10. In front of them there is Hell, and that which they have earned will be of no profit to them, nor (will be of any profit to them) those whom they have taken as Auliya’ (protectors, helpers, etc.) besides Allah. And theirs will be a great torment. 11. This (Qur’an) is a guidance. And those who disbelieve in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord, for them there is a painful torment of Rijz (a severe kind of punishment). 12. Allah it is He Who has subjected to you the sea, that ships may sail through it by His Command, and that you may seek of His Bounty, and that you may be thankful, 13. And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth; it is all as a favour and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who think deeply. 14. Say (O Muhammad ) to the believers to forgive those who (harm them and) hope not for the Days of Allah (i.e. His Recompense), that He may recompense people according to what they have earned (i.e. to punish these disbelievers, who harm the believers). 15. Whosoever does a good deed, it is for his ownself, and whosoever does evil, it is against (his ownself). Then to your Lord you will be made to return. 16. And indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, and the understanding of the Scripture and its laws, and the Prophethood; and provided them with good things, and preferred them above the ‘Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of their time, during that period), 17. And gave them clear proofs in matters [by revealing to them the Taurat (Torah)]. And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves. Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ. 18. Then We have put you (O Muhammad ) on a plain way of (Our) commandment [like the one which We commanded Our Messengers before you (i.e. legal ways and laws of the Islamic Monotheism)]. So follow you that (Islamic Monotheism and its laws), and follow not the desires of those who know not. [Tafsir At-Tabari Vol. 25, Page 146]. 19. Verily, they can avail you nothing against Allah (if He wants to punish you). Verily, the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) are Auliya’ (protectors, helpers, etc.) to one another, but Allah is the Wali (Helper, Protector, etc.) of the Muttaqun (pious – see V.2:2). 20. This (Qur’an) is a clear insight and evidence for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy for people who have Faith with certainty . 21. Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, in their present life and after their death? Worst is the judgement that they make. 22. And Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth, in order that each person may be recompensed what he has earned, and they will not be wronged . 23. Have you seen him who takes his own lust (vain desires) as his ilah (god), and Allah knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight. Who then will guide him after Allah? Will you not then remember? 24. And they say: “There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (the time). And they have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture. 25. And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, their argument is no other than that they say: “Bring back our (dead) fathers, if you are truthful!” 26. Say (to them): “Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not.” 27. And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And on the Day that the Hour will be established, on that Day the followers of falsehood (polytheists, disbelievers, worshippers of false deities, etc.) shall lose (everything). 28. And you will see each nation humbled to their knees (kneeling), each nation will be called to its Record (of deeds). This Day you shall be recompensed for what you used to do. 29. This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds). 30. Then, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy. That will be the evident success. 31. But as for those who disbelieved (it will be said to them): “Were not Our Verses recited to you? But you were proud, and you were a people who were Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals).” 32. And when it was said: “Verily! Allah’s Promise is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour,” you said; “We know not what is the Hour, we do not think it but as a conjecture, and we have no firm convincing belief (therein).” 33. And the evil of what they did will appear to them, and they will be completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! 34. And it will be said: “This Day We will forget you as you forgot the Meeting of this Day of yours. And your abode is the Fire, and there is none to help you.” 35. This, because you took the revelations of Allah (this Qur’an) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell), nor shall they be Yusta’tabun (i.e. they shall not return to the worldly life, so that they repent to Allah, and beg His Pardon for their sins). 36. So all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 37. And His (Alone) is the Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Summary:

Surah Al-Jathiyah is the 45th chapter of the Quran, consisting of 37 verses. This surah is a Meccan revelation that takes its name from the word “Al-Jathiyah,” meaning “The Kneeling” or “The Crouching,” which appears in verse 28. The name reflects the imagery of nations kneeling on the Day of Judgment, awaiting Allah’s judgment. The surah emphasizes Allah’s power, the reality of resurrection, and the consequences for both the believers and the disbelievers. Verses 1-5: Signs of Allah’s Creation The surah begins with the disjointed letters “Ha Meem” and points to various signs of Allah’s power and wisdom in creation, such as the heavens, the earth, and the alternation of day and night. It calls on people to reflect on these signs as evidence of the existence of Allah and His authority. Verses 6-11: The Rejection of Divine Revelation These verses stress the importance of the Quran as divine guidance and warn those who turn away from it. The disbelievers mock the verses of the Quran, refusing to believe in the resurrection. However, they are reminded that rejecting Allah’s revelations will lead to severe consequences in the Hereafter. Verses 12-15: The Blessings of Allah Allah’s blessings are enumerated in these verses, including the submission of the seas for human benefit, allowing people to sail ships, and the creation of cattle and other resources. The surah calls on humanity to show gratitude for these blessings rather than rejecting divine guidance. Verses 16-20: The Story of Bani Israel The surah recounts how the Children of Israel (Bani Israel) were given divine revelation, wisdom, and authority but turned away from Allah’s guidance. This serves as a reminder to the current audience, emphasizing that those who reject divine signs will face consequences, as did previous nations. Verses 21-26: The Arrogance of the Disbelievers The surah addresses the arrogance of those who deny the resurrection and judgment, falsely believing that their actions in this life have no consequence. It challenges their beliefs by affirming that both the righteous and the wicked will be recompensed according to their deeds. The surah also emphasizes the reality of the resurrection and the power of Allah to raise the dead. Verses 27-31: The Day of Judgment These verses describe the Day of Judgment, when all nations will be kneeling before Allah, awaiting their fate. Each nation will be called to account for their deeds, and the record of their actions will be laid open. The righteous will be rewarded, while the disbelievers will face humiliation and punishment for turning away from Allah’s signs. Verses 32-37: The Final Consequence The surah concludes by emphasizing the ultimate fate of the disbelievers, who will be condemned to Hell for their arrogance and disbelief. In contrast, those who believed and followed divine guidance will be rewarded with eternal bliss in Paradise. The surah ends with a reminder of Allah’s supremacy and the reality of the Day of Judgment, urging people to prepare for it by living righteously.
