Elucidated (Fussilat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Ha Mim! 1 A Revelation from (Allah), Most Gracious, Most Merciful;- 2 A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic Quran for a people who know: 3 proclaiming good news and a warning. Yet most of them turn away and so do not listen. 4 And they say: our hearts are under veils from that whereunto thou callest us, and in our ears there is heaviness, and betwixt us and thee there is a curtain; work thou then, verily we are workers. 5 Say thou, [O Prophet:] "I am but a mortal like you. It has been revealed to me that your God is the One God: go, then, straight towards Him and seek His forgiveness!" And woe unto those who ascribe divinity to aught beside Him, 6 Who give not the poor-due, and who are disbelievers in the Hereafter. 7 Surely those who believe, and do righteous deeds shall have a wage unfailing.' 8
