[أم عبد الله]

Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
(174)
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
(175)
The dwellers of Al-Aiyka [near Madyan (Midian)] belied the Messengers.
(176)
When Shu'aib (Shuaib) said to them: "Will you not fear Allah (and obey Him)?
(177)
"I am a trustworthy Messenger to you.
(178)
"So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me.
(179)
"No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
(180)
"Give full measure, and cause no loss (to others).
(181)
"And weigh with the true and straight balance.
(182)
"And defraud not people by reducing their things, nor do evil, making corruption and mischief in the land.
(183)
"And fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old."
(184)
They said: "You are only one of those bewitched!
(185)
"You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars!
(186)
"So cause a piece of the heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!"
(187)
He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do."
(188)
But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them, indeed that was the torment of a Great Day.
(189)
Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
(190)
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
(191)
And truly, this (the Quran) is a revelation from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists),
(192)
Which the trustworthy Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] has brought down;
(193)
Upon your heart (O Muhammad SAW) that you may be (one) of the warners,
(194)
In the plain Arabic ********.
(195)
And verily, it (the Quran, and its revelation to Prophet Muhammad SAW) is (announced) in the Scriptures [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] of former people.
(196)
Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars (like 'Abdullah bin Salam radhiallahu'anhu who embraced Islam) of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
(197)
And if We had revealed it (this Quran) unto any of the non-Arabs,
(198)
And he had recited it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
(199)
Thus have We caused it (the denial of the Quran) to enter the hearts of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.).
(200)
They will not believe in it until they see the painful torment;
(201)
It shall come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;
(202)
Then they will say: "Can we be respited?"
(203)
Would they then wish for Our Torment to be hastened on?
(204)
Tell Me, if We do let them enjoy for years,
(205)
And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised!
(206)
All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them.
(207)
And never did We destroy a township, but it had its warners
(208)
By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust.
(209)
And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it (this Quran) down,
(210)
Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it).
(211)
Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.
(212)
So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you be among those who receive punishment.
(213)
And warn your tribe (O Muhammad SAW) of near kindred.
(214)
And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.
(215)
Then if they disobey you, say: "I am innocent of what you do."
(216)
And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,
(217)
Who sees you (O Muhammad SAW) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers).
(218)
And your movements among those who fall prostrate (along with you to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers).
(219)
Verily! He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
(220)
Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend?
(221)
They descend on every lying (one who tells lies), sinful person.
(222)
Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.
(223)
As for the poets, the erring follow them,
(224)
See you not that they speak about every subject (praising others right or wrong) in their poetry?
(225)
And that they say what they do not do.
(226)
Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and reply back (in poetry) to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims). And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.

سورة النمل

سورة 027 النمل
Ta*Sin. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. These are the Verses of the Quran, and (it is) a Book (that makes things) clear
(1)
A guide (to the Right Path); and glad tidings for the believers [who believe in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)].
(2)
Those who perform As*Salat (Iqamat*as*Salat) and give Zakat and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter (resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell, etc.).
(3)
Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so they wander about blindly.
(4)
They are those for whom there will be an evil torment (in this world). And in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.
(5)
And verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) are receiving the Quran from the One, All-Wise, All-Knowing.
(6)
(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."
(7)
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).
(8)
"O Musa (Moses)! Verily! It is I, Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
(9)
"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.
(10)
"Except him who has done wrong and afterwards has changed evil for good, then surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(11)
"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).
(12)
But when Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came to them, clear to see, they said: "This is a manifest magic."
(13)
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.).
(14)
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!"
(15)
And Sulaiman (Solomon) inherited (the knowledge of) Dawud (David). He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the ******** of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."
(16)
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).
(17)
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."
(18)
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."
(19)
He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?
(20)
"I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason."
(21)
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.
(22)
"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.
(23)
"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,"
(24)
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]
(25)
Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
(26)
[Sulaiman (Solomon)] said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars.
(27)
"Go you with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back from them, and see what (answer) they return."
(28)
She said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is delivered to me a noble letter,
(29)
"Verily! It is from Sulaiman (Solomon), and verily! It (reads): In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful;
(30)
"Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission)' "
(31)
She said: "O chiefs! Advise me in (this) case of mine. I decide no case till you are present with me."
(32)
They said: "We have great strength, and great ability for war, but it is for you to command; so think over what you will command."
(33)
She said: "Verily! Kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it, and make the most honourable amongst its people low. And thus they do.
(34)
"But verily! I am going to send him a present, and see with what (answer) the messengers return."
(35)
So when (the messengers with the present) came to Sulaiman (Solomon), he said: "Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!"
(36)
[Then Sulaiman (Solomon) said to the chief of her messengers who brought the present]: "Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from there in disgrace, and they will be abased."
(37)
He said: "O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me surrendering themselves in obedience?"
(38)
An Ifrit (strong) from the jinns said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
(39)
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when [Sulaiman (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly! My Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), Bountiful."
(40)
He said: "Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognise her throne), or she will be one of those not guided."
(41)
So when she came, it was said (to her): "Is your throne like this?" She said: "(It is) as though it were the very same." And [Sulaiman (Solomon) said]: "Knowledge was bestowed on us before her, and we were submitted to Allah (in Islam as Muslims before her)."
(42)
And that which she used to worship besides Allah has prevented her (from Islam), for she was of a disbelieving people.
(43)
It was said to her: "Enter As-Sarh" [(a glass surface with water underneath it) or a palace], but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she (tucked up her clothes) uncovering her legs, Sulaiman (Solomon) said: "Verily, it is Sarh [(a glass surface with water underneath it) or a palace] paved smooth with slab of glass." She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit (in Islam, together with Sulaiman (Solomon), to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)."
(44)
And indeed We sent to Thamud their brother Salih (Saleh), saying: "Worship Allah (Alone and none else). Then look! They became two parties (believers and disbelievers) quarreling with each other."
(45)
He said: "O my people! Why do you seek to hasten the evil (torment) before the good (Allah's Mercy)? Why seek you not the Forgiveness of Allah, that you may receive mercy?"
(46)
They said: "We augur ill omen from you and those with you." He said: "Your ill omen is with Allah; nay, but you are a people that are being tested."
(47)
