Ta.
Sin. These are the verses of the Qur'an and a Book luminous. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
A
guidance and glad tidings unto the believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
Who
establish the prayer and give the poor-rate, and of the Hereafter
they are convinced. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
Verily
those who believe not in the Hereafter - fairseeming unto them We
have made their works, so that they wander perplexed. |
|
|
|
|
|
5. |
Those
are they for whom shall be an evil torment. And in the Hereafter they
shall be the greatest losers. |
|
|
|
|
|
6. |
And
verily thou art receiving the Qur'an)from before the Wise, the Knowing. |
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Recall
what time Musa said unto his household: verily I perceive a fire afar;
I shall forthwith bring you tidings thereof, or bring unto you a brand
lighted therefrom, haply ye may warm yourselves. |
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Then
when he came unto it, he was cried unto Thus; Blest is whosoever is
in the fire and whosoever is around it; and hallowed be Allah, the
Lord of the Worlds. |
|
|
|
|
|
9. |
O
Musa! verily it is I, Allah, the Mighty the Wise! |
|
|
|
|
|
10. |
And
cast thou down thy staff. Then when he saw it wriggling as though
it were a serpent, he turned in flight and looked not back. O Musa!
fear thou not; verily in My presence the sent ones fear not. |
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
Excepting
any who may have done wrong and thereafter changeth evil for good
then verily I am Forgiving, Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
12. |
And
put thy hand into thy bosom, it Shall come forth white, with out hurt:
amongst nine signs unto Fir'awn and his people. Verily they have been
a people transgressing. |
|
|
|
|
|
13. |
Then
when Our signs came unto them illuminating, they said: this is a magic
manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
they gainsaid them, out of spite and arrogance, although their souls
were convinced thereof. So behold! what hath been the end of the corruptors. |
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And
assuredly We vouchsafed unto Daud and Sulaiman a knowledge, and the
twain said: praise unto Allah Who hath preferred us above many of
His believing bondmen! |
|
|
|
|
|
16. |
And
Sulaiman inherited from Daud. And he said: O mankind! verily have
been taught the diction of we birds, and we have been vcuchsafed of
every thing; and verily this is grace manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
17. |
And
there were gathered unto Sulaiman his hosts of jinns and mankind and
birds, and they were set in bands. |
|
|
|
|
|
18. |
Until
when they came unto the valley of the ants, an ant said: O ants! enter
Your habitations lest Sulaiman and his hosts crush you while they
perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
19. |
So
he smiled, amused at her speech, and said: my Lord! arouse me that
I should be thankful for Thy favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me
and my parents, and that I should work righteously pleasing Thee,
and out of Thy mercy enter me among Thine righteous bondmen. |
|
|
|
|
|
20. |
And
he sought after the birds and said: what aileth me that I see not
the hoopoe; is he among the absentees? |
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Surely
I shall torment him with a severe torment, or I shall slaughter him,
unless he bringeth unto me a warranty manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Buthe
tarried not far, and he said: I have encompassed that which thou hast-
not encompassed, and I come unto thee from Saba with a tidings sure. |
|
|
|
|
|
23. |
Verily
have found a woman ruling over them and she hath been vouchsafed somewhat
of everything, and hers is a mighty throne. |
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
I
have found her and her people adoring the sun instead of Allah, and
the Satan hath made their works fairseeming unto them, and hath barred
them from the way, so they are not guided. |
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
So
that they adore not Allah who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens
and the earth, and knoweth that which conceal and that which ye make
known. |
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Allah!
there is no God but he, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. |
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Sulaiman
said: we shall see now whether thou hast spoken the truth or whether
thou art of the liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
28. |
Go
thou with this epistle of mine, and cast it down unto them, and turn
aside from them, and see how they return. |
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
She
said: O chiefs! verily there hath been cast unto me an honourable
epistle. |
|
|
|
|
|
30. |
Verily
it is from Sulaiman, and verily it is: in the name of Allah, the Compassionate,
the Merciful. |
