سورة سَبَأ

34. Surah Saba
Sheba

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

Praise belongs to God, to whom belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth — and to Him belongs the praise in the Hereafter; and He is the Wise, the Aware.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذ۪ي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِۜ وَهُوَ الْحَك۪يمُ الْخَب۪يرُ

Alhamdu lillahi allatheelahu ma fee assamawati wamafee al-ardi walahu alhamdu fee al-akhiratiwahuwa alhakeemu alkhabeer

He knows what penetrates the earth and what comes forth from it, and what descends from the sky and what ascends into it; and He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.

يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ ف۪يهَاۜ وَهُوَ الرَّح۪يمُ الْغَفُورُ

YaAAlamu ma yaliju fee al-ardiwama yakhruju minha wama yanzilu mina assama-iwama yaAAruju feeha wahuwa arraheemualghafoor

And those who ignore warning say: “The Hour will not come to us.” Say thou: “Verily, by my Lord — it will come to you — the Knower of the Unseen!” Not absent from Him is the weight of an atom in the heavens or in the earth, or what is smaller than that or greater, save is in a clear writ,

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَأْت۪ينَا السَّاعَةُۜ قُلْ بَلٰى وَرَبّ۪ي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِۚ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَٓا اَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَٓا اَكْبَرُ اِلَّا ف۪ي كِتَابٍ مُب۪ينٍۙ

Waqala allatheena kafaroo lata/teena assaAAatu qul bala warabbeelata/tiyannakum AAalimi alghaybi la yaAAzubu AAanhumithqalu tharratin fee assamawatiwala fee al-ardi wala asgharu min thalikawala akbaru illa fee kitabin mubeen

That He might reward those who heed warning and do righteous deeds; those have pardon and a noble provision.

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِۜ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَر۪يمٌ

Liyajziya allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati ola-ika lahummaghfiratun warizqun kareem

And those who strive against Our proofs, to frustrate: those have the punishment of a painful scourge.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ سَعَوْ ف۪ٓي اٰيَاتِنَا مُعَاجِز۪ينَ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِنْ رِجْزٍ اَل۪يمٌۗ

Wallatheena saAAaw fee ayatinamuAAajizeena ola-ika lahum AAathabun minrijzin aleem

And those given knowledge see that what is sent down to thee from thy Lord is the truth, and it guides to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy.

وَيَرَى الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْعِلْمَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَّۙ وَيَهْد۪ٓي اِلٰى صِرَاطِ الْعَز۪يزِ الْحَم۪يدِ

Wayara allatheena ootooalAAilma allathee onzila ilayka min rabbika huwa alhaqqawayahdee ila sirati alAAazeezi alhameed

And those who ignore warning say: “Shall we direct you to a man who informs you that when you are scattered utterly, you will be in a new creation?

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ يُنَبِّئُكُمْ اِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۙ اِنَّكُمْ لَف۪ي خَلْقٍ جَد۪يدٍۚ

Waqala allatheena kafaroo halnadullukum AAala rajulin yunabbi-okum ithamuzziqtum kulla mumazzaqin innakum lafee khalqin jadeed

“He has invented a lie about God.” If he be possessed: the truth is, those who believe not in the Hereafter are in punishment and extreme error.

اَفْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً اَمْ بِه۪ جِنَّةٌۜ بَلِ الَّذ۪ينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ فِي الْعَذَابِ وَالضَّلَالِ الْبَع۪يدِ

Aftara AAala Allahi kathibanam bihi jinnatun bali allatheena la yu/minoona bil-akhiratifee alAAathabi waddalali albaAAeed

Do they then not see what is before them, and what following them of the heaven and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth swallow them, or cause to fall upon them pieces of the sky. In that is a proof for every repentant servant.

اَفَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلٰى مَا بَيْنَ اَيْد۪يهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ اِنْ نَشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ الْاَرْضَ اَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفاً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُن۪يبٍ۟

Afalam yaraw ila ma baynaaydeehim wama khalfahum mina assama-i wal-ardiin nasha/ nakhsif bihimu al-arda aw nusqitAAalayhim kisafan mina assama-i inna fee thalikalaayatan likulli AAabdin muneeb

And We gave David from Us bounty: “O you mountains: echo with it, and you birds.” And We softened iron for him:

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَا دَاوُ۫دَ مِنَّا فَضْلاًۜ يَا جِبَالُ اَوِّب۪ي مَعَهُ وَالطَّيْرَۚ وَاَلَنَّا لَهُ الْحَد۪يدَۙ

Walaqad atayna dawoodaminna fadlan ya jibalu awwibeemaAAahu wattayra waalanna lahu alhadeed

“Do thou abundant good works, and decree thou their continuance.” And work righteousness; I see what you do.

اَنِ اعْمَلْ سَابِغَاتٍ وَقَدِّرْ فِي السَّرْدِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحاًۜ اِنّ۪ي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يرٌ

Ani iAAmal sabighatin waqaddirfee assardi waAAmaloo salihan inneebima taAAmaloona baseer

And to Solomon the wind: its morning course a month, and its evening course a month. And We made flow for him a spring of molten brass. And among the domini worked some before him, by the leave of his Lord; and who deviated among them from Our command — We will let him taste of the punishment of the Inferno.

وَلِسُلَيْمٰنَ الرّ۪يحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌۚ وَاَسَلْنَا لَهُ عَيْنَ الْقِطْرِۜ وَمِنَ الْجِنِّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّه۪ۜ وَمَنْ يَزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ اَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّع۪يرِ

Walisulaymana arreehaghuduwwuha shahrun warawahuha shahrunwaasalna lahu AAayna alqitri wamina aljinni manyaAAmalu bayna yadayhi bi-ithni rabbihi waman yazighminhum AAan amrina nuthiqhu min AAathabi assaAAeer

They made for him what he willed of sanctuaries, and statues, and basins like pools, and vessels firmly fixed. “Work, house of David, in gratitude!” And few are the grateful among My servants.

يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُ مَا يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ مَحَار۪يبَ وَتَمَاث۪يلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُورٍ رَاسِيَاتٍۜ اِعْمَلُٓوا اٰلَ دَاوُ۫دَ شُكْراًۜ وَقَل۪يلٌ مِنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ

YaAAmaloona lahu ma yashao minmahareeba watamatheela wajifanin kaljawabiwaqudoorin rasiyatin iAAmaloo ala dawoodashukran waqaleelun min AAibadiya ashshakoor

And when We decreed death for him, there indicated his death to them only a creature of the earth eating at his staff. But when he fell down, it became clear to the domini that had they but known the Unseen, they would not have tarried in the humiliating punishment.

فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلٰى مَوْتِه۪ٓ اِلَّا دَٓابَّةُ الْاَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْسَاَتَهُۚ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ اَنْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذَابِ الْمُه۪ينِ

Falamma qadaynaAAalayhi almawta ma dallahum AAala mawtihi illadabbatu al-ardi ta/kulu minsaatahu falammakharra tabayyanati aljinnu an law kanoo yaAAlamoonaalghayba ma labithoo fee alAAathabi almuheen

There was for Saba’ a proof in their dwelling-place: — two gardens, on the right hand and on the left — “Eat of the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him. A good land and a forgiving Lord!”

لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَأٍ ف۪ي مَسْكَنِهِمْ اٰيَةٌۚ جَنَّتَانِ عَنْ يَم۪ينٍ وَشِمَالٍۜ كُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُۜ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ

Laqad kana lisaba-in fee maskanihim ayatunjannatani AAan yameenin washimalin kuloo min rizqirabbikum washkuroo lahu baldatun tayyibatunwarabbun ghafoor

Then they turned away, so We sent upon them the flooding of the dam, and gave them in exchange for their two gardens, two gardens bearing bitter fruit, and tamarisk, and something of sparse lote trees.

فَاَعْرَضُوا فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَاهُمْ بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَيْ اُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَاَثْلٍ وَشَيْءٍ مِنْ سِدْرٍ قَل۪يلٍ

FaaAAradoo faarsalna AAalayhimsayla alAAarimi wabaddalnahum bijannatayhim jannatayni thawatayokulin khamtin waathlin washay-in min sidrin qaleel

That We rewarded them because they denied; and do We reward save the ungrateful?

ذٰلِكَ جَزَيْنَاهُمْ بِمَا كَفَرُواۜ وَهَلْ نُجَاز۪ٓي اِلَّا الْكَفُورَ

Thalika jazaynahum bimakafaroo wahal nujazee illa alkafoor

And We made between them and the cities We had blessed cities visible; and determined the journey between them: “Travel in this by night and day in safety.”

وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقُرَى الَّت۪ي بَارَكْنَا ف۪يهَا قُرًى ظَاهِرَةً وَقَدَّرْنَا ف۪يهَا السَّيْرَۜ س۪يرُوا ف۪يهَا لَيَالِيَ وَاَيَّاماً اٰمِن۪ينَ

WajaAAalna baynahum wabayna alquraallatee barakna feeha quran thahiratanwaqaddarna feeha assayra seeroo feehalayaliya waayyaman amineen

But they said: “Long has our Lord made the distance between our journeys”; and they wronged their souls, and We made them tales told, and scattered them utterly. In that are proofs for everyone patient and grateful.

فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا بَاعِدْ بَيْنَ اَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ اَحَاد۪يثَ وَمَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ

Faqaloo rabbana baAAidbayna asfarina wathalamoo anfusahumfajaAAalnahum ahadeetha wamazzaqnahum kullamumazzaqin inna fee thalika laayatin likullisabbarin shakoor

And Iblīs had proved right in his assumption about them, and they followed him save a faction among the believers.

وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ اِبْل۪يسُ ظَنَّهُ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ اِلَّا فَر۪يقاً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Walaqad saddaqa AAalayhim ibleesu thannahufattabaAAoohu illa fareeqan mina almu/mineen

And he had no authority over them save that We might know him who believes in the Hereafter from him who is thereof in doubt; and thy Lord is custodian over all things.

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا ف۪ي شَكٍّۜ وَرَبُّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَف۪يظٌ۟

Wama kana lahu AAalayhim minsultanin illa linaAAlama man yu/minu bil-akhiratimimman huwa minha fee shakkin warabbuka AAala kullishay-in hafeeth

Say thou: “Call to those whom you claim besides God.” They possess not the weight of an atom in the heavens or in the earth, and they have not in them any partnership, nor has He among them any helper.

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذ۪ينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۚ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ ف۪يهِمَا مِنْ شِرْكٍ وَمَا لَهُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ظَه۪يرٍ

Quli odAAoo allatheena zaAAamtum mindooni Allahi la yamlikoona mithqala tharratinfee assamawati wala fee al-ardiwama lahum feehima min shirkin wama lahuminhum min thaheer

And intercession avails not with Him save him whom He gives leave. When terror has been lifted from their hearts, they will say: “What said your Lord?” They will say: “The truth”; and He is the Exalted, the Great.

وَلَا تَنْفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِنْدَهُٓ اِلَّا لِمَنْ اَذِنَ لَهُۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَاۙ قَالَ رَبُّكُمْۜ قَالُوا الْحَقَّۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَب۪يرُ

Wala tanfaAAu ashshafaAAatuAAindahu illa liman athina lahu hattaitha fuzziAAa AAan quloobihim qaloo matha qalarabbukum qaloo alhaqqa wahuwa alAAaliyyu alkabeer

Say thou: “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?” Say thou: “God; and either we or you are upon guidance, or in manifest error.”

قُلْ مَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ قُلِ اللّٰهُۙ وَاِنَّٓا اَوْ اِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلٰى هُدًى اَوْ ف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍ

Qul man yarzuqukum mina assamawatiwal-ardi quli Allahu wa-inna aw iyyakumlaAAala hudan aw fee dalalin mubeen

Say thou: “You will not be questioned about what we committed, nor will we be questioned about what you do.”

قُلْ لَا تُسْـَٔلُونَ عَمَّٓا اَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Qul la tus-aloona AAammaajramna wala nus-alu AAamma taAAmaloon

Say thou: “Our Lord will bring us together, then will He decide between us with justice”; and He is the Knowing Judge.

قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّۜ وَهُوَ الْفَتَّاحُ الْعَل۪يمُ

Qul yajmaAAu baynana rabbunathumma yaftahu baynana bilhaqqiwahuwa alfattahu alAAaleem

Say thou: “Show me those whom you have joined with Him as partners.” No, indeed! The truth is, He is God, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

قُلْ اَرُونِيَ الَّذ۪ينَ اَلْحَقْتُمْ بِه۪ شُرَكَٓاءَ كَلَّاۜ بَلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Qul arooniya allatheena alhaqtumbihi shurakaa kalla bal huwa AllahualAAazeezu alhakeem

And We sent thee only as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most men know not.

وَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَاكَ اِلَّا كَٓافَّةً لِلنَّاسِ بَش۪يراً وَنَذ۪يراً وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Wama arsalnaka illa kaffatanlinnasi basheeran wanatheeran walakinnaakthara annasi la yaAAlamoon

And they say: “When is this promise, if you be truthful?”

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ

Wayaqooloona mata hathaalwaAAdu in kuntum sadiqeen

Say thou: “You have the appointment of a day you cannot defer an hour, nor can you advance.”

قُلْ لَكُمْ م۪يعَادُ يَوْمٍ لَا تَسْتَأْخِرُونَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةً وَلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُونَ۟

Qul lakum meeAAadu yawmin latasta/khiroona AAanhu saAAatan wala tastaqdimoon

And those who ignore warning say: “We will never believe in this Qur’an, nor in what was before it.” But if thou couldst see when the wrongdoers are brought before their Lord, refuting each other’s word. Those who were despised will say to those who had waxed proud: “Were it not for you, we would have been believers!”

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ بِهٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ وَلَا بِالَّذ۪ي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۜ وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذِ الظَّالِمُونَ مَوْقُوفُونَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۚ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍۨ الْقَوْلَۚ يَقُولُ الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا لَوْلَٓا اَنْتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُؤْمِن۪ينَ

Those who had waxed proud will say to those who were despised: “Did we turn you away from the guidance after it had come to you? Nay, you were lawbreakers.”

قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اسْتُضْعِفُٓوا اَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنَاكُمْ عَنِ الْهُدٰى بَعْدَ اِذْ جَٓاءَكُمْ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ مُجْرِم۪ينَ

Qala allatheena istakbaroolillatheena istudAAifoo anahnu sadadnakumAAani alhuda baAAda ith jaakum bal kuntummujrimeen

And those who were despised will say to those who had waxed proud: “Nay, it was your scheme night and day, when you commanded us to deny God and make equals to Him.” And they will whisper remorse when they see the punishment, and We place yokes on the necks of those who ignore warning. Will they be rewarded save for what they did?

وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا لِلَّذ۪ينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا بَلْ مَكْرُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ اِذْ تَأْمُرُونَـنَٓا اَنْ نَكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُٓ اَنْدَاداًۜ وَاَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَۜ وَجَعَلْنَا الْاَغْلَالَ ف۪ٓي اَعْنَاقِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۜ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

And We sent not to a city any warner save its opulent ones said: “We are deniers of that wherewith you have been sent.”

وَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَا ف۪ي قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ نَذ۪يرٍ اِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَٓاۙ اِنَّا بِمَٓا اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِه۪ كَافِرُونَ

Wama arsalna fee qaryatin minnatheerin illa qala mutrafooha innabima orsiltum bihi kafiroon

And they said: “We are greater in wealth and children,” and: “We are not to be punished.”

وَقَالُوا نَحْنُ اَكْثَرُ اَمْوَالاً وَاَوْلَاداًۙ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّب۪ينَ

Waqaloo nahnu aktharu amwalanwaawladan wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeen

Say thou: “My Lord expands provision for whom He wills, and He straitens.” But most men know not.

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبّ۪ي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۟

Qul inna rabbee yabsutu arrizqaliman yashao wayaqdiru walakinna akthara annasila yaAAlamoon

And it is not your wealth or your children that bring you near to Us in proximity, only whoso believes and works righteousness: those have the double reward for what they did, and they will be in the high chambers, secure.

وَمَٓا اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَٓا اَوْلَادُكُمْ بِالَّت۪ي تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا زُلْفٰٓى اِلَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاًۘ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَزَٓاءُ الضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَهُمْ فِي الْغُرُفَاتِ اٰمِنُونَ

Wama amwalukum wala awladukumbillatee tuqarribukum AAindana zulfa illaman amana waAAamila salihan faola-ikalahum jazao addiAAfi bima AAamiloowahum fee alghurufati aminoon

And those who strive to frustrate Our proofs: those will be summoned to the punishment.

وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَسْعَوْنَ ف۪ٓي اٰيَاتِنَا مُعَاجِز۪ينَ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ

Wallatheena yasAAawna fee ayatinamuAAajizeena ola-ika fee alAAathabi muhdaroon

Say thou: “My Lord expands provision for whom He wills of His servants, and He straitens for him.” And what you have spent of anything, He will replace it; and He is the best of providers.

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبّ۪ي يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۜ وَمَٓا اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِق۪ينَ

Qul inna rabbee yabsutu arrizqaliman yashao min AAibadihi wayaqdiru lahu wamaanfaqtum min shay-in fahuwa yukhlifuhu wahuwa khayru arraziqeen

And the day He gathers them all together, then will He say to the angels: “Did these serve you?”

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَم۪يعاً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِلْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ اَهٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ اِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ

Wayawma yahshuruhum jameeAAan thummayaqoolu lilmala-ikati ahaola-i iyyakumkanoo yaAAbudoon

They will say: “Glory be to Thee! Thou art our ally, not them!” The truth is, they served the domini; most of them were believers in them.

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ اَنْتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِنْ دُونِهِمْۚ بَلْ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الْجِنَّۚ اَكْثَرُهُمْ بِهِمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ

Qaloo subhanaka anta waliyyunamin doonihim bal kanoo yaAAbudoona aljinna aktharuhumbihim mu/minoon

And that day will you possess for one another neither benefit nor harm, and We will say to those who did wrong: “Taste the punishment of the Fire which you denied!”

فَالْيَوْمَ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ نَفْعاً وَلَا ضَراًّۜ وَنَقُولُ لِلَّذ۪ينَ ظَلَمُوا ذُوقُوا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّت۪ي كُنْتُمْ بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

And when Our proofs are recited to them as clear signs, they say: “This is only a man who wishes to turn you away from what your fathers served”; and they say: “This is only an invented falsehood.” And those who ignore warning say of the truth when it has come to them: “This is only obvious sorcery.”

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالُوا مَا هٰذَٓا اِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُر۪يدُ اَنْ يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اٰبَٓاؤُ۬كُمْۚ وَقَالُوا مَا هٰذَٓا اِلَّٓا اِفْكٌ مُفْتَرًىۜ وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَٓاءَهُمْۙ اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُب۪ينٌ

Wa-itha tutla AAalayhim ayatunabayyinatin qaloo ma hatha illarajulun yureedu an yasuddakum AAamma kanayaAAbudu abaokum waqaloo ma hathailla ifkun muftaran waqala allatheenakafaroo lilhaqqi lamma jaahum in hathailla sihrun mubeen

And We gave them not any Writs to study, and We sent not to them before thee any warner.

وَمَٓا اٰتَيْنَاهُمْ مِنْ كُتُبٍ يَدْرُسُونَهَا وَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَٓا اِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِنْ نَذ۪يرٍۜ

Wama ataynahum minkutubin yadrusoonaha wama arsalna ilayhimqablaka min natheer

And those before them denied; and they attained not a tenth of what We gave them but they denied My messengers — then how was My rejection!

وَكَذَّبَ الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۙ وَمَا بَلَغُوا مِعْشَارَ مَٓا اٰتَيْنَاهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوا رُسُل۪ي۠ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَك۪يرِ۟

Wakaththaba allatheena minqablihim wama balaghoo miAAshara ma ataynahumfakaththaboo rusulee fakayfa kana nakeer

Say thou: “I but exhort you to one thing: that you stand up for God in twos and alone, then reflect.” Your companion is not possessed; he is only a warner to you before a severe punishment.

قُلْ اِنَّـمَٓا اَعِظُـكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍۚ اَنْ تَقُومُوا لِلّٰهِ مَثْنٰى وَفُرَادٰى ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوا۠ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُمْ مِنْ جِنَّةٍۜ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذ۪يرٌ لَكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَذَابٍ شَد۪يدٍ

Qul innama aAAithukumbiwahidatin an taqoomoo lillahi mathna wafuradathumma tatafakkaroo ma bisahibikum min jinnatin inhuwa illa natheerun lakum bayna yaday AAathabinshadeed

Say thou: “What I might have asked of you of reward, it is yours. My reward is only upon God; and He is witness over all things.”

قُلْ مَا سَاَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ اَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْۜ اِنْ اَجْرِيَ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِۚ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَه۪يدٌ

Qul ma saaltukum min ajrin fahuwalakum in ajriya illa AAala Allahi wahuwaAAala kulli shay-in shaheed

Say thou: “My Lord hurls the truth — the Knower of the Unseen Realms.”

قُلْ اِنَّ رَبّ۪ي يَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّۚ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

Qul inna rabbee yaqthifu bilhaqqiAAallamu alghuyoob

Say thou: “The truth has come; and vanity originates not, and it repeats not.”

قُلْ جَٓاءَ الْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ الْبَاطِلُ وَمَا يُع۪يدُ

Qul jaa alhaqqu wamayubdi-o albatilu wama yuAAeed

Say thou: “If I go astray, I but go astray against my soul; and if I am guided, it is because of what my Lord reveals to me. He is hearer and near.”

قُلْ اِنْ ضَلَلْتُ فَاِنَّـمَٓا اَضِلُّ عَلٰى نَفْس۪يۚ وَاِنِ اهْتَدَيْتُ فَبِمَا يُوح۪ٓي اِلَيَّ رَبّ۪يۜ اِنَّهُ سَم۪يعٌ قَر۪يبٌ

Qul in dalaltu fa-innama adilluAAala nafsee wa-ini ihtadaytu fabima yooheeilayya rabbee innahu sameeAAun qareeb

And if thou couldst see when they are in terror: — but there is no escape — and they are seized from a near place,

وَلَوْ تَرٰٓى اِذْ فَزِعُوا فَلَا فَوْتَ وَاُخِذُوا مِنْ مَكَانٍ قَر۪يبٍۙ

Walaw tara ith faziAAoo falafawta waokhithoo min makanin qareeb

And they say: “We believe in it!” But how will they have the reaching from a place far away

وَقَالُٓوا اٰمَنَّا بِه۪ۚ وَاَنّٰى لَهُمُ التَّنَاوُشُ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَع۪يدٍۚ

Waqaloo amanna bihiwaanna lahumu attanawushu min makaninbaAAeed

When they denied it before, and attacked the Unseen from a place far away?

وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِه۪ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ وَيَقْذِفُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ بَع۪يدٍ

Waqad kafaroo bihi min qablu wayaqthifoonabilghaybi min makanin baAAeed

And a barrier will be set between them and what they desire, as was done with their sects before; they were in sceptical doubt.

وَح۪يلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِاَشْيَاعِهِمْ مِنْ قَبْلُۜ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا ف۪ي شَكٍّ مُر۪يبٍ

Waheela baynahum wabayna mayashtahoona kama fuAAila bi-ashyaAAihim min qabluinnahum kanoo fee shakkin mureeb
