Surat Saba'
1. All the praises and thanks be to
Allâh, to whom belongs All that is In the heavens and All that is In the earth.
his is All the praises and thanks In the Hereafter, and He is the AllWise, the
AllAware.
2. He knows that which goes into
the earth and that which comes forth from it, and that which descend from the
heaven and that which ascends to it. and He is the Most Merciful, the
OftForgiving.
3. those who disbelieve say:
"The Hour will not come to us." say: "Yes, by My Lord, it will
come to You." (Allâh, He is) the AllKnower of the unseen, not even the
weight of an atom (or a small ant) or less than that or greater, escapes from
his knowledge In the heavens or In the earth, but it is In a clear Book
(AlLauh AlMahfûz).
4. that He may Recompense those who
believe (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good
deeds. those, Theirs is Forgiveness and Rizqun Karîm (generous provision, i.e.
Paradise).
5. but those who strive against Our
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to
frustrate them, those, for them will be a Severe painful torment.
6. and those who have been given
knowledge see that what is revealed to You (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa
Sallam) from Your Lord is the truth, and guides to the Path of the Exalted In
Might, Owner of All praise.
7. those who disbelieve say:
"Shall we direct You to a man (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) who
will tell You (that) when You have become fully disintegrated into dust with
full dispersion, then, You will be created (again) anew?"
8. has He (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam) invented a lie against Allâh, or is there a madness In him?
Nay, but those who disbelieve In the Hereafter are (themselves) In a torment,
and In far error.
9. see they not what is before them
and what is behind them, of the heaven and the earth? if we will, we shall sink
the earth with them, or Cause a piece of the heaven to fall upon them. Verily,
In This is a sign for Every faithful believer that [believes In the Oneness of
Allâh], and turns to Allâh (in All affairs with humility and In repentance).
10. and indeed we bestowed Grace on
David from us (saying): "O You mountains. glorify (Allâh) with him! and
You birds (also)! and we made the iron soft for him."
11. saying: "Make You perfect
coats of mail, balancing well the rings of chain armour, and work You (men)
righteousness. Truly, I am AllSeer of what You do."
12. and to Solomon (We subjected)
the wind, its morning (stride from sunrise till midnoon) was a month's (journey),
and its afternoon (stride from the midday decline of the sun to sunset) was a
month's (journey i.e. In one Day He could travel two months' journey). and we
caused a fount of (molten) brass to flow for him, and there were jinns that
worked In front of him, by the leave of his Lord, and Whosoever of them turned
aside from Our Command, we shall Cause Him to taste of the torment of the
blazing Fire.
13. they worked for Him what He
desired, (making) High rooms, images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (cooking)
cauldrons fixed (in their places). "Work you, O family of Dâwud (David),
with thanks!" but few of My slaves are grateful.
14. Then when we decreed death for
Him [Sulaimân (Solomon)], nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a
little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick, so
when He fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen,
they would not have stayed In the humiliating torment.
15. indeed there was for Saba'
(Sheba) a sign In their dwelling place, - two Gardens on the Right Hand and on
the left (and it was said to them) "Eat of the provision of Your Lord, and
be grateful to him, a fair land and an OftForgiving Lord.
16. but they turned away (from the
obedience of Allâh), so we sent against them sail Al'Arim (flood released from
the dam), and we converted their two Gardens into Gardens producing bitter bad
fruit, and tamarisks, and some few lotetrees.
17. like This we requited them
because they were ungrateful disbelievers. and never do we requit In such a Way
except those who are ungrateful, (disbelievers).
18. and we placed between them and
the Towns which we had blessed, Towns easy to be seen, and we made the stages
(of journey) between them easy (saying): "Travel In them safely both by
night and Day."
19. but they said: "Our Lord!
make the stages between Our journey longer," and they wronged themselves,
so we made them as tales (in the land), and we dispersed them all, totally.
Verily, In This are indeed signs for Every steadfast grateful (person).
20. and indeed Iblîs (Satan) did
prove true his thought about them, and they followed him, All except a group of
true believers (in the Oneness of Allâh).
21. and He (Iblîs Satan) had no
authority over them, except that we might test him, who believes In the
Hereafter from Him who is In doubt about it. and Your Lord is a Hafiz over
everything. (AllKnower of everything i.e. He keeps record of each and Every
person as regards deeds, and Then He will reward them accordingly).
22. say: (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam to those polytheists, pagans, etc.) "Call upon those
whom You assert (to be associate gods) besides Allâh, they possess not even the
weight of an atom (or a small ant), either In the heavens or on the earth, nor
have they any share In either, nor there is for Him any supporter from among
them.
23. intercession with Him profits
not, except for Him whom He permits. until when fear is banished from their
(angels') hearts, they (angels) say: "What is it that Your Lord has
said?" they say: "The truth. and He is the Most High, the Most
Great."
24. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam to These polytheists, pagans, etc.) "Who gives You provision
from the heavens and the earth?" say: "Allâh, and Verily, (either) we
or You are rightly guided or In a plain error."
25. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam to These polytheists, pagans, etc.) "You will not be
asked about Our sins, nor shall we be asked of what You do."
26. say: "Our Lord will
assemble us All together (on the Day of Resurrection), Then He will judge
between us with truth. and He is the (most Trustworthy) AllKnowing
Judge."
27. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam to These polytheists and pagans): "Show Me those whom
You have joined to Him as partners. Nay (there are not at All any partners with
him)! but He is Allâh (Alone), the AllMighty, the AllWise."
28. and we have not sent You (O
Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) except as a giver of glad tidings and a
warner to All mankind, but Most of men know not.
29. and they say: "When is
This Promise (i.e. the Day of Resurrection will be fulfilled) if You are
truthful?"
30. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "The appointment to You is for a day, which You cannot
put back for an Hour (or a moment) nor put forward."
31. and those who disbelieve say:
"We believe not In This Qur'ân nor In that which was before it," but
if You could see when the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) will be
made to stand before their Lord, How they will cast the (blaming) word one to
another! those who were deemed weak will Say to those who were arrogant:
"Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!"
32. and those who were arrogant
will Say to those who were deemed weak: "Did we keep You back from
guidance after it had come to you? Nay, but You were Mujrimûn (polytheists,
sinners, criminals, disobedient to Allâh, etc.).
33. those who were deemed weak will
Say to those who were arrogant: "Nay, but it was Your plotting by night
and day, when You ordered us to disbelieve In Allâh and set up rivals to
him!" and each of them (parties) will conceal their own regrets (for
disobeying Allâh during This worldly life), when they behold the torment. and
we shall put iron collars round the necks of those who disbelieved. are they
requited aught except what they used to do?
34. and we did not send a warner to
a township, but those who were given the worldly wealth and luxuries among them
said: "We believe not In the (Message) with which You have been
sent."
35. and they say: "We are more
In wealth and In children, and we are not going to be punished."
36. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "Verily, My Lord enlarges and restricts the provision
to whom He pleases, but Most men know not."
37. and it is not Your wealth, nor
Your Children that bring You nearer to us (i.e. pleases Allâh), but Only He
(will please Us) who believes (in the Islâmic Monotheism), and does righteous
deeds; as for such, there will be twofold reward for what they did, and they
will reside In the High dwellings (Paradise) In peace and security.
38. and those who strive against
Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), to
frustrate them, will be brought to the torment.
39. say: "Truly, My Lord
enlarges the provision for whom He wills of his slaves, and (also) restricts
(it) for him, and whatsoever You spend of anything (in Allâh's Cause), He will
replace it. and He is the best of providers."
40. and (remember) the Day when He
will gather them All together, and Then will Say to the angels: "Was it
You that These people used to worship?"
41. they (angels) will say:
"Glorified be You! You are Our Walî (Lord) instead of them. Nay, but they
used to Worship the jinns; Most of them were believers In them."
42. so today (i.e. the Day of
Resurrection), none of You can profit or harm one another. and we shall Say to
those who did wrong [i.e. worshipped others (like angels, jinns, Prophets,
saints, righteous persons, etc.) along with Allâh]: "Taste the torment of
the Fire which You used to belie.
43. and when Our clear Verses are
recited to them, they say: "This (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam)
is naught but a man who wishes to hinder You from that which Your fathers used
to worship." and they say: "This is nothing but an invented
lie." and those who disbelieve Say of the Truth when it has come to them
(i.e. Prophet Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam when Allâh sent Him as a
Messenger with proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, etc.): "This is
nothing but evident magic!"
44. and we had not given them
Scriptures which they could study, nor sent to them before You (O Muhammad
Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) any warner (Messenger).
45. and those before them belied;
These have not received one tenth (1/10th) of what we had granted to those (of
old), yet they belied My Messengers, Then How (terrible) was My denial
(punishment)!
46. Say (to them O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "I exhort You on one (thing) only: that You stand up
for Allâh's sake In pairs and singly, and reflect (within yourselves the life
history of the Prophet Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam): there is no madness In
Your companion (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam), He is Only a warner to
You In face of a Severe torment."
47. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "Whatever wage I might have asked of You is yours. My
wage is from Allâh only. and He is witness over All things."
48. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "Verily! My Lord sends down Inspiration and makes
apparent the Truth (i.e. This Revelation that had come to Me), the AllKnower
of the Ghaib (unseen).
49. Say (O Muhammad Sal-Allaahu
'alayhe Wa Sallam): "The Truth (the Qur'ân and Allâh's Inspiration) has
come, and AlBâtil [falsehood - Iblîs (Satan)] can neither create anything nor
resurrect (anything)."
50. say: "If (Even) I Go
astray, I shall stray Only to My own loss. but if I remain guided, it is
because of the Inspiration of My Lord to Me. Truly, He is AllHearer, ever near
(to All things)."
51. and if You could but see, when
they will be terrified with no escape (for them), and they will be seized from
a near place.
52. and they will Say (in the
Hereafter): "We do believe (now);" but How could they receive (Faith
and the acceptance of their repentance by Allâh) from a place so far off (i.e.
to return to the worldly life again).
53. indeed they did disbelieve (in
the Oneness of Allâh, Islâm, the Qur'ân and Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa
Sallam) before (in This world), and they (used to) conjecture about the unseen
[i.e. the Hereafter, Hell, Paradise, Resurrection and the Promise of Allâh,
etc. (by saying) All that is untrue], from a far place.
54. and a barrier will be set
between them and that which they desire [i.e. At-Taubah (turning to Allâh In
repentance) and the accepting of faith etc.], as was done In the past with the
people of their kind. Verily, they have been In grave doubt
