TaSin.
[These letters are one of the
miracles of the Qur-an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
These are the Verses of the Qur-an, and (it
is) a Book (that
makes things) clear; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
A
guide (to the Right Path);
and glad tidings for the believers [who
believe in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)]. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Those
who perform AsSalat (IqamatasSalat)
and give Zakat and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter
(resurrection, recompense of their
good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell, etc.). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Verily,
those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds fair-seeming
to them, so they wander about blindly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
They
are those for whom there will be an evil torment (in
this world). And in the Hereafter
they will be the greatest losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
verily, you (O Muhammad SAW)
are receiving the Qur-an from the One, All-Wise, All-Knowing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
(Remember)
when Musa (Moses)
said to his household: "Verily! I have seen a fire, I will bring
you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand,
that you may warm yourselves." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
But
when he came to it, he was called: "Blessed is whosoever is in
the fire, and whosoever is round about it! And glorified be Allah,
the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind,
jinns and all that exists). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
"O
Musa (Moses)!
Verily! It is I, Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
"And
throw down your stick!" But when he saw it moving as if it were
a snake, he turned in flight, and did not look back. (It
was said): "O Musa (Moses)!
Fear not, verily! The Messengers fear not in front of Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
"Except
him who has done wrong and afterwards has changed evil for good, then
surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
"And
put your hand into your bosom, it will come forth white without hurt.
(These are)
among the nine signs (you will
take) to Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
and his people, they are a people who are the Fasiqun (rebellious,
disobedient to Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
But
when Our Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
came to them, clear to see, they said: "This is a manifest magic." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
they belied them (those Ayat)
wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof
[i.e. those (Ayat) are from
Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of Allah in truth, but they
disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message
of Monotheism]. So see what
was the end of the Mufsidun (disbelievers,
disobedient to Allah, evil-doers, liars.). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And
indeed We gave knowledge to Dawud (David)
and Sulaiman (Solomon),
and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah,
Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
Sulaiman (Solomon)
inherited (the knowledge of)
Dawud (David).
He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds,
and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident
grace (from Allah)." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And
there were gathered before Sulaiman (Solomon)
his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle
order (marching forwards). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Till,
when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O
ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (Solomon)
and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
So
he [Sulaiman (Solomon)]
smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Inspire and
bestow upon me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your
Favours which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that
I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by
Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
He
inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see
not the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
"I
will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless
he brings me a clear reason." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
But
the hoopoe stayed not long, he (came
up and) said: "I have grasped
(the knowledge of a thing)
which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba'
(Sheba)
with true news. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
"I
found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given all things
that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great
throne. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
"I
found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and
Shaitan (Satan)
has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from
(Allah's)
Way, so they have no guidance," |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Al-La
(this word has two interpretations)
(A)
[As Shaitan (Satan) has barred
them from Allah's Way] so that
they do not worship (prostrate
before) Allah, or (B)
So that they may worship (prostrate
before) Allah, Who brings to
light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what
you conceal and what you reveal. [Tafsir
At-Tabari, Vol. 19, Page 149] |

|
|
26. |
Allah,
La ilaha illa Huwa (none has
the right to be worshipped but He),
the Lord of the Supreme Throne! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
[Sulaiman
(Solomon)] said: "We shall
see whether you speak the truth or you are (one)
of the liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
"Go
you with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back
from them, and see what (answer)
they return." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
She
said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is delivered to me a noble letter, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
"Verily!
It is from Sulaiman (Solomon),
and verily! It (reads):
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful; |
