The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[27.1] Ta Sin!
These are the verses of the Quran
and the Book that makes (things)
clear
[27.2] A guidance and good
news for the believers,
[27.3] Who keep up prayer and
pay the poor-rate, and of the
hereafter, they are sure.
[27.4] As to those who do not
believe in the hereafter, We have
surely made their deeds fair-seeming
to them, but they blindly wander on.
[27.5] These are they who
shall have an evil punishment, and
in the hereafter they shall be the
greatest losers.
[27.6] And most surely you
are made to receive the Quran from
the Wise, the Knowing God.
[27.7] When Musa said to his
family: Surely I see fire; I will
bring to you from it some news, or I
will bring to you there from a
burning firebrand so that you may
warm yourselves.
[27.8] So when he came to it
a voice was uttered saying: Blessed
is Whoever is in the fire and
whatever is about it; and glory be
to Allah, the Lord of the worlds;
[27.9] O Musa! surely I am
Allah, the Mighty, the Wise;
[27.10] And cast down your
staff. So when he saw it in motion
as if it were a serpent, he turned
back retreating and did not return:
O Musa! fear not; surely the
apostles shall not fear in My
presence;
[27.11] Neither he who has
been unjust, then he does good
instead after evil, for surely I am
the Forgiving, the Merciful:
[27.12] And enter your hand
into the opening of your bosom, it
shall come forth white without evil;
among nine signs to Firon and his
people, surely they are a
transgressing people.
[27.13] So when Our clear
signs came to them, they said: This
is clear enchantment.
[27.14] And they denied them
unjustly and proudly while their
soul had been convinced of them;
consider, then how was the end of
the mischief-makers.
[27.15] And certainly We gave
knowledge to Dawood and Sulaiman,
and they both said: Praise be to
Allah, Who has made us to excel many
of His believing servants.
[27.16] And Sulaiman was
Dawood's heir, and he said: O men!
we have been taught the language of
birds, and we have been given all
things; most surely this is manifest
grace.
[27.17] And his hosts of the
jinn and the men and the birds were
gathered to him, and they were
formed into groups.
[27.18] Until when they came
to the valley of the Naml, a Namlite
said: O Naml! enter your houses,
(that) Sulaiman and his hosts may
not crush you while they do not
know.
[27.19] So he smiled,
wondering at her word, and said: My
Lord! grant me that I should be
grateful for Thy favor which Thou
hast bestowed on me and on my
parents, and that I should do good
such as Thou art pleased with, and
make me enter, by Thy mercy, into
Thy servants, the good ones.
[27.20] And he reviewed the
birds, then said: How is it I see
not the hoopoe or is it that he is
of the absentees?
[27.21] 1 will most certainly
punish him with a severe punishment,
or kill him, or he shall bring to me
a clear plea.
[27.22] And he tarried not
long, then said: I comprehend that
which you do not comprehend and I
have brought to you a sure
information from Sheba.
[27.23] Surely I found a
woman ruling over them, and she has
been given abundance and she has a
mighty throne:
[27.24] 1 found her and her
people adoring the sun instead of
Allah, and the Shaitan has made
their deeds fair-seeming to them and
thus turned them from the way, so
they do not go aright
[27.25] That they do not make
obeisance to Allah, Who brings forth
what is hidden in the heavens and
the earth and knows what you hide
and what you make manifest:
[27.26] Allah, there is no
god but He: He is the Lord of mighty
power.
[27.27] He said: We will see
whether you have told the truth or
whether you are of the liars:
[27.28] Take this my letter
and hand it over to them, then turn
away from them and see what (answer)
they return.
[27.29] She said: O chief!
surely an honorable letter has been
delivered to me
[27.30] Surely it is from
Sulaiman, and surely it is in the
name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful;
[27.31] Saying: exalt not
yourselves against me and come to me
in submission.
[27.32] She said: O chiefs!
give me advice respecting my affair:
I never decide an affair until you
are in my presence.
[27.33] They said: We are
possessors of strength and
possessors of mighty prowess, and
the command is yours, therefore see
what you will command.
[27.34] She said: Surely the
kings, when they enter a town, ruin
it and make the noblest of its
people to be low, and thus they
(always) do;
[27.35] And surely I am going
to send a present to them, and shall
wait to see what (answer) do the
messengers bring back.
[27.36] So when he came to
Sulaiman, he said: What! will you
help me with wealth? But what Allah
has given me is better than what He
has given you. Nay, you are exultant
because of your present;
[27.37] Go back to them, so
we will most certainly come to them
with hosts which they shall have no
power to oppose, and we will most
certainly expel them there from in
abasement, and they shall be in a
state of ignominy.
[27.38] He said: O chiefs!
which of you can bring to me her
throne before they come to me in
submission?
[27.39] One audacious among
the jinn said: I will bring it to
you before you rise up from your
place; and most surely I am strong
(and) trusty for it.
[27.40] One who had the
knowledge of the Book said: I will
bring it to you in the twinkling of
an eye. Then when he saw it settled
beside him, he said: This is of the
grace of my Lord that He may try me
whether I am grateful or ungrateful;
and whoever is grateful, he is
grateful only for his own soul, and
whoever is ungrateful, then surely
my Lord is Self-sufficient, Honored.
[27.41] He said: Alter her
throne for her, we will see whether
she follows the right way or is of
those who do not go aright.
[27.42] So when she came, it
was said: Is your throne like this?
She said: It is as it were the same,
and we were given the knowledge
before it, and we were submissive.
[27.43] And what she
worshipped besides Allah prevented
her, surely she was of an
unbelieving people.
[27.44] It was said to her:
Enter the palace; but when she saw
it she deemed it to be a great
expanse of water, and bared her
legs. He said: Surely it is a palace
made smooth with glass. She said: My
Lord! surely I have been unjust to
myself, and I submit with Sulaiman
to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
[27.45] And certainly We sent
to Samood their brother Salih,
saying: Serve Allah; and lo! they
became two sects quarrelling with
each other.
[27.46] He said: O my people!
why do you seek to hasten on the
evil before the good? Why do you not
ask forgiveness of Allah so that you
may be dealt with mercifully?
[27.47] They said: We have
met with ill luck on account of you
and on account of those with you. He
said: The cause of your evil fortune
is with Allah; nay, you are a people
who are tried.
[27.48] And there were in the
city nine persons who made mischief
in the land and did not act aright.
[27.49] They said: Swear to
each other by Allah that we will
certainly make a sudden attack on
him and his family by night, then we
will say to his heir: We did not
witness the destruction of his
family, and we are most surely
truthful.
[27.50] And they planned a
plan, and We planned a plan while
they perceived not.
[27.51] See, then, how was
the end of their plan that We
destroyed them and their people, all
(of them).
[27.52] So those are their
houses fallen down because they were
unjust, most surely there is a sign
in this for a people who know.
[27.53] .And We delivered
those who believed and who guarded
(against evil).
[27.54] And (We sent) Lut,
when he said to his people: What! do
you commit indecency while you see?
[27.55] What! do you indeed
approach men lustfully rather than
women? Nay, you are a people who act
ignorantly.
[27.56] But the answer of his
people was no other except that they
~s said: Turn out Lut's followers
from your town; surely they are a
people who would keep pure!
[27.57] But We delivered him
and his followers except his wife;
We ordained her to be of those who
remained behind.
[27.58] And We rained on them
a rain, and evil was the rain of
those who had been warned.
[27.59] Say: Praise be to
Allah and peace on His servants whom
He has chosen: is Allah better, or
what they associate (with Him)?
[27.60] Nay, He Who created
the heavens and the earth, and sent
down for you water from the cloud;
then We cause to grow thereby
beautiful gardens; it is not
possible for you that you should
make the trees thereof to grow. Is
there a god with Allah? Nay! they
are people who deviate.
[27.61] Or, Who made the
earth a resting place, and made in
it rivers, and raised on it
mountains and placed between the two
seas a barrier. Is there a god with
Allah? Nay! most of them do not
know!
[27.62] Or, Who answers the
distressed one when he calls upon
Him and removes the evil, and He
will make you successors in the
earth. Is there a god with Allah?
Little is it that you mind!
[27.63] Or, Who guides you in
utter darkness of the land and the
sea, and Who sends the winds as good
news before His mercy. Is there a
god with Allah? Exalted by Allah
above what they associate (with
Him).
[27.64] Or, Who originates
the creation, then reproduces it and
Who gives you sustenance from the
heaven and the earth. Is there a god
With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if
you are truthful.
[27.65] Say: No one in the
heavens and the earth knows the
unseen but Allah; and they do not
know when they shall be raised.
[27.66] Nay, their knowledge
respecting the hereafter is slight
and hasty; nay, they are in doubt
about it; nay, they are quite blind
to
[27.67] And those who
disbelieve say: What! when we have
become dust and our fathers (too),
shall we certainly be brought forth?
[27.68] We have certainly
been promised this, we and our
fathers before; these are naught but
stories of the ancients
[27.69] Say: Travel in the
earth, then see how was the end of
the guilty.
[27.70] And grieve not for
them and be not distressed because
of what they plan.
[27.71] And they say: When
will this threat come to pass, if
you are truthful?
[27.72] Say: Maybe there may
have drawn near to you somewhat of
that which you seek to hasten on.
[27.73] And surely your Lord
is the Lord of grace to men, but
most of them are not grateful.
[27.74] And most surely your
Lord knows what their breasts
conceal and what they manifest.
[27.75] And there is nothing
concealed in the heaven and the
earth but it is in a clear book.
[27.76] Surely this Quran
declares to the children of Israel
most of what they differ in.
[27.77] And most surely it is
a guidance and a mercy for the
believers.
[27.78] Surely your Lord will
judge between them by his judgment,
and He is the Mighty, the knowing.
[27.79] Therefore rely on
Allah; surely you are on the clear
truth.
[27.80] Surely you do not
make the dead to hear, and you do
not make the deaf to hear the call
when they go back retreating.
[27.81] Nor can you be a
guide to the blind out of their
error; you cannot make to bear (any
one) except those who believe in Our
communications, so they submit.
[27.82] And when the word
shall come to pass against them, We
shall bring forth for them a
creature from the earth that shall I
wound them, because people did not
believe in Our communications.
[27.83] And on the day when
We will gather from every nation a
party from among those who rejected
Our communications, then they shall
be formed into groups.
[27.84] Until when they come,
He will say: Did you reject My
communications while you had no
comprehensive knowledge of them? Or
what was it that you did?
[27.85] And the word shall
come to pass against them because
they were unjust, so they shall not
speak.
[27.86] Do they not consider
that We have made the night that.
they may rest therein, and the day
to give light? Most surely there are
signs in this for a people who
believe.
[27.87] And on the day when
the trumpet shall be blown, then
those who are in the heavens and
those who are in the earth shall be
terrified except such as Allah
please, and all shall come to him
abased.
[27.88] And you see the
mountains, you think them to be
solid, and they shall pass away as
the passing away of the cloud-- the
handiwork of Allah Who has made
every thing thoroughly; surely He is
Aware of what you do.
[27.89] Whoever brings good,
he shall have better than it; and
they shall be secure from terror on
the day.
[27.90] And whoever brings
evil, these shall be thrown down on
their faces into the fire; shall you
be rewarded (for) aught except what
you did?
[27.91] I am commanded only
that I should serve the Lord of this
city, Who has made it sacred, and
His are all things; and I am
commanded that I should be of these
who submit;
[27.92] And that I should
recite the Quran. Therefore whoever
goes aright, he goes aright for his
own soul, and whoever goes ' astray,
then say: I am only one of the
warners.
[27.93] And say: Praise be to
Allah, He will show you His signs so
that you shall recognize them; nor
is your Lord heedless of what you
do. |
