1.Ḥâ-Mĩm. 2.By the clear Book! 3.Certainly, We have made it a Quran in Arabic so perhaps you will understand. 4.And indeed, it is—in the Master Record1 with Us—highly esteemed, rich in wisdom. 5.Should We then turn the ˹Quranic˺ Reminder away from you ˹simply˺ because you have been a transgressing people? 6.˹Imagine˺ how many prophets We sent to those ˹destroyed˺ before! 7.But no prophet ever came to them without being mocked. 8.So We destroyed those who were far mightier than these ˹Meccans˺. The examples of ˹their˺ predecessors have ˹already˺ been related.1 9.If you ask them ˹O Prophet˺ who created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say, “The Almighty, All-Knowing did.” 10.˹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.
