Read the surah · Surah 45
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Thirty-seven verses ending with every nation kneeling, called to its own record, and told that this book of Ours speaks about you in truth — because We were having transcribed what you were doing. Before that: the man who takes his desire as his god, and the claim that nothing destroys us but time. It opens with disconnected letters.
The whole surah, verse after verse, in the language you have chosen.
