Sura Fussilat/ Ha-Mim al-Sajda
41
Introduction of Surah
Fussilat is the 41st sura of the Qur’an, which means ‘Distinctly Explained’, and derives its name from verse 3. The sura belongs to the Meccan period and comprises 54 verses, 796 words, 3,350 letters, and 6 segments. It is the 61st sura in chronological order, revealed after Sura Ghafir. The sura is also called ‘Ha-Mim al-Sajda’ because of the two Mysterious Letters of the Qur’an, which constitute the first verse of this sura. It should not be confused with sura 32, which also bears the title ‘al-Sajda’. Moreover, the sura relates the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the different periods of formation and evolution, including the preliminary smoky state of the universe. The chapter emphasises the themes of the Oneness of God, and recalls the fate of ‘Ad and Thamud. It also describes the trials of the Day of Judgement where the bodily organs will testify against the wrongdoer, leading to evil rewards for the wrongdoers, and pleasant rewards for the righteous. The sura, relating the qualities of true believers, further explains that good and evil cannot be equal; whoever performs good deeds benefits himself and whoever commits evil harms himself. Therefore, the sura urge believers to practice respectful speech and noble conduct even with dis-believers. In the end, the sura describes the failure of the polytheists and those who deny the Truth on the Day of Judgement. The sura concludes with the statement that God has placed His signs in the whole universe as well as within human lives and bodies. Therefore, whoever reflects upon them finds the Ultimate truth.

41:15. As for (the people of) ‘Ad, they acted arrogantly in the land with no right and said: ‘Who is superior to us in power?’ Did they not see that Allah (Himself), Who created them, is far superior to them in power? Still, they persisted in denying Our signs.

41:39. And among His signs is that you see the earth lying desolate, but as soon as We send down rainwater upon it, it becomes fresh and green and grows (vegetation). Indeed, He Who revives it is the Reviver of the dead. Indeed, He is All-Capable of everything.
ومن آياته أنك ترى الأرض خاشعة فإذا أنزلنا عليها الماء اهتزت وربت إن الذي أحياها لمحيي الموتى إنه على كل شيء قدير

41:44. Had We made it a non-Arabic Qur’an, they would surely have said: ‘Why have its verses not been expounded clearly? What! A non-Arabian (Book) and an Arabian (Prophet)?’ Say: ‘This (Qur’an) is a guidance and a healing for those who believe, but those who do not believe have deafness in their ears and are blind to it, (as if) they are being called from a distant place.’
ولو جعلناه قرآنا أعجميا لقالوا لولا فصلت آياته أأعجمي وعربي قل هو للذين آمنوا هدى وشفاء والذين لا يؤمنون في آذانهم وقر وهو عليهم عمى أولئك ينادون من مكان بعيد

41:45. Surely, We gave Musa (Moses) the Book, but differences arose regarding it. And were it not for a prior Word of your Lord, a judgement (settling their differences) would have been made between them (at once). Yet they are confounded by a deceitful doubt about it.
ولقد آتينا موسى الكتاب فاختلف فيه ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لقضي بينهم وإنهم لفي شك منه مريب

41:47. To Him is referred the knowledge of the Hour. And no fruits come out from their covering, and no female conceives nor does she deliver except with His knowledge. And on the Day when He will call out to them (saying): ‘Where are My partners?’ They (the polytheists) will say: ‘We admit to You that none among us testifies (to those partners).’

41:50. And if We let him taste Our mercy after distress has befallen him, he will surely say: ‘This is my due; I do not think the Hour will ever come. And if I am returned to my Lord, I will surely have the best (reward) with Him.’ However, We will surely inform the disbelievers about what they have done. And We shall certainly cause them to taste a harsh punishment.
ولئن أذقناه رحمة منا من بعد ضراء مسته ليقولن هذا لي وما أظن الساعة قائمة ولئن رجعت إلى ربي إن لي عنده للحسنى فلننبئن الذين كفروا بما عملوا ولنذيقنهم من عذاب غليظ
