Elucidated (Fussilat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Ha'. Mim. 1 A revelation from [God], the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful -- 2 A Book whose verses have been detailed, an Arabic Qur'an for a people who know, 3 Good tidings and a warning. But most of them turn away so that they hear not. 4 They say, "Our hearts are covered against and our ears are deaf to whatever you (Muhammad) invite us to. There is a barrier between us and you. So act as you please and we shall act as we please". 5 Say: 'I am only a mortal, like you are. To me it has been revealed that your God is One God; so go straight with Him, and ask for His forgiveness; and woe to the idolaters 6 who pay not the alms, and disbelieve in the world to come. 7 [But,] verily, they who have attained to faith and do good works shall have a reward unending! 8
