One (Israelite) who had knowledge of the Scripture said, `I will bring it to you before your Yemanite (noble guests) come to you.' And when he (- Solomon) saw it (- the throne) set before him he said, `This is due to the grace of my Lord; so that He may reveal my inner self to show whether I am grateful (for all His favours) or ungrateful. Indeed, he who thanks, his thanksgiving is for his own good, and he who shows ingratitude (let him remember that) My Lord is truly Self-Sufficient (and is in need of no praise), Oft-Generous (and Noble in His own right).'

27 : 41 ↑

It was said to her, `Enter the palace.' And when she saw it she took it for a great expanse of water. She was greatly perturbed. (Solomon) said, `It is a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass.' She (realizing the truth that she worshipped outward objects like the sun in place of Reality, the true God,) said, `My Lord! I have done injustice to myself and (now) I submit myself through Solomon to Allâh, the Lord of the worlds.'

Qaloo ittayyarna bika wabiman maAAaka qala tairukum AAinda Allahi bal antum qawmun tuftanoona

They said, `We have suffered due to you and your companions.' (Sâlih) said, `Your deeds and true cause of your sufferings is with Allâh (Who is punishing you for your evil deeds). Nay, you are a people who are being tried (to distinguish the good of you from the bad).'

Wakana fee almadeenati tisAAatu rahtin yufsidoona fee alardi wala yuslihoona

Qaloo taqasamoo biAllahi lanubayyitannahu waahlahu thumma lanaqoolanna liwaliyyihi ma shahidna mahlika ahlihi wainna lasadiqoona

Look, then how (evil) was the end their planning met; We utterly destroyed them and their people one and all.

Fatilka buyootuhum khawiyatan bima thalamoo inna fee thalika laayatan liqawmin yaAAlamoona

27 : 53 ↑

Waanjayna allatheena amanoo wakanoo yattaqoona

(Whereas We destroyed them,) We saved those who had believed and used to guard against evil.

27 : 54 ↑

27 : 57 ↑

Faanjaynahu waahlahu illa imraatahu qaddarnaha mina alghabireena

27 : 58 ↑

Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena

Quli alhamdu lillahi wasalamun AAala AAibadihi allatheena istafa allahu khayrun amma yushrikoona

Amman khalaqa alssamawati waalarda waanzala lakum mina alssamai maan faanbatna bihi hadaiqa thata bahjatin ma kana lakum an tunbitoo shajaraha ailahun maAAa Allahi bal hum qawmun yaAAdiloona

Or Who is it that created the heavens and the earth, and sends down water for you from the clouds? (It is We.) Then We cause to grow with it orchards full of bloom and loveliness.

27 : 61 ↑

Amman yahdeekum fee thulumati albarri waalbahri waman yursilu alrriyaha bushran bayna yaday rahmatihi ailahun maAAa Allahi taAAala Allahu AAamma yushrikoona

Or Who is it that guides you (to the path of salvation) in all kinds of darkness (and vicissitudes) on the land and the sea; and Who is it that sends the winds as heralds of His mercy.

Say, `Bring forward your proof (in support of your polytheistic beliefs) if you are truthful (in what you claim).'

27 : 65 ↑

Qul la yaAAlamu man fee alssamawati waalardi alghayba illa Allahu wama yashAAuroona ayyana yubAAathoona

27 : 66 ↑

Bali iddaraka AAilmuhum fee alakhirati bal hum fee shakkin minha bal hum minha AAamoona

Nay, (the fact is) their knowledge about the Hereafter has found its limit. Rather they are in doubt about it (- the life after death). Rather they are totally blind to it (- the existence of God Himself).

27 : 67 ↑

Waqala allatheena kafaroo aitha kunna turaban waabaona ainna lamukhrajoona

And those who disbelieve say, `Is it that when we and our forefathers have been reduced to dust we shall really be brought forth (alive again)?

27 : 68 ↑

Laqad wuAAidna hatha nahnu waabaona min qablu in hatha illa asateeru alawwaleena

`We have been surely given this promise once before (this) and also our forefathers. But such a thing is nothing but tales of the ancients.'

27 : 69 ↑

Qul seeroo fee alardi faonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu almujrimeena

Say, `Travel through the land and behold how (evil) has been the end of those who cut off their ties (with God).'

27 : 70 ↑

Wala tahzan AAalayhim wala takun fee dayqin mimma yamkuroona

27 : 74 ↑

Wainna rabbaka layaAAlamu ma tukinnu sudooruhum wama yuAAlinoona

And surely your Lord knows the things which they hide in their hearts and those which they profess.

27 : 75 ↑

Wama min ghaibatin fee alssamai waalardi illa fee kitabin mubeenin

There is nothing hidden in the heavens and the earth but it is recorded in a Book revealing (the Divine decree).

27 : 76 ↑

Inna hatha alqurana yaqussu AAala banee israeela akthara allathee hum feehi yakhtalifoona

Verily, this Qur'ân explains to the Children of Israel (both the Jews and the Christians) most of the things concerning which they are at variance.

27 : 77 ↑

Wainnahu lahudan warahmatun lilmumineena

And surely, this is a (source of) guidance and mercy for the believers.

27 : 78 ↑

Inna rabbaka yaqdee baynahum bihukmihi wahuwa alAAazeezu alAAaleemu

(Prophet!) your Lord will rightly judge between them (- the believing and the disbelieving people) with His command (- the Qur'ân). He is the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

Fatawakkal AAala Allahi innaka AAala alhaqqi almubeeni

27 : 81 ↑

Wama anta bihadee alAAumyi AAan dalalatihim in tusmiAAu illa man yuminu biayatina fahum muslimoona

27 : 82 ↑

Waitha waqaAAa alqawlu AAalayhim akhrajna lahum dabbatan mina alardi tukallimuhum anna alnnasa kanoo biayatina la yooqinoona

And when the judgment becomes due against them (-the unjust) We shall bring forth for them a (grossly) materialistic person which will rule over them (and also an insect which shall wound them to cause plague). That is because the people did not have firm faith in Our Messages.

27 : 83 ↑

Wayawma nahshuru min kulli ommatin fawjan mimman yukaththibu biayatina fahum yoozaAAoona

And (remind them of) the day when We shall gather together from every people a large group of those who cried lies to Our Messages; then they shall be arranged in separate columns.

27 : 84 ↑

Hatta itha jaoo qala akaththabtum biayatee walam tuheetoo biha AAilman ammatha kuntum taAAmaloona

Until when they arrive (before their Lord) He will say, `Did you not cry lies to My Messages before you had gained full knowledge about them? Or what (else) was it that you had been doing (about them)?'

27 : 85 ↑

WawaqaAAa alqawlu AAalayhim bima thalamoo fahum la yantiqoona

Man jaa bialhasanati falahu khayrun minha wahum min fazaAAin yawmaithin aminoona

Waan atluwa alqurana famani ihtada fainnama yahtadee linafsihi waman dalla faqul innama ana mina almunthireena

`And to recite (to the people), and follow the Qur'ân; so one who (on listening to it) follows guidance, does it for his own good. And (tell him) who goes astray (from the straight path) that my mission is only to give warning.'

27 : 93 ↑

Waquli alhamdu lillahi sayureekum ayatihi fataAArifoonaha wama rabbuka bighafilin AAamma taAAmaloona
