بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Saba 34:1

الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذى لَهُ ما فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَما فِى الأَرضِ وَلَهُ الحَمدُ فِى الـٔاخِرَةِ ۚ وَهُوَ الحَكيمُ الخَبيرُ

Praise belongs to The God, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And praise in the Hereafter belongs to Him. He is the Wise, the Aware.

Saba 34:2

يَعلَمُ ما يَلِجُ فِى الأَرضِ وَما يَخرُجُ مِنها وَما يَنزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَما يَعرُجُ فيها ۚ وَهُوَ الرَّحيمُ الغَفورُ

He knows what enters the earth and what comes out of it, what descends from the sky and what ascends into it. And He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.

Saba 34:3

وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لا تَأتينَا السّاعَةُ ۖ قُل بَلىٰ وَرَبّى لَتَأتِيَنَّكُم عٰلِمِ الغَيبِ ۖ لا يَعزُبُ عَنهُ مِثقالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلا فِى الأَرضِ وَلا أَصغَرُ مِن ذٰلِكَ وَلا أَكبَرُ إِلّا فى كِتٰبٍ مُبينٍ

And those who disbelieved said: The Hour will not come to us. Say: Yes, by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen, it will surely come to you. Not the weight of a particle in the heavens or the earth escapes Him, nor anything smaller or greater, except that it is in a clear Book,

Saba 34:4

لِيَجزِىَ الَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ لَهُم مَغفِرَةٌ وَرِزقٌ كَريمٌ

so that He may reward those who believed and did righteous deeds. Those will have forgiveness and a noble provision.

Saba 34:5

وَالَّذينَ سَعَو فى ءايٰتِنا مُعٰجِزينَ أُولٰئِكَ لَهُم عَذابٌ مِن رِجزٍ أَليمٌ

But those who strove against Our signs, seeking to thwart them, will have a punishment of painful torment.

Saba 34:6

وَيَرَى الَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ الَّذى أُنزِلَ إِلَيكَ مِن رَبِّكَ هُوَ الحَقَّ وَيَهدى إِلىٰ صِرٰطِ العَزيزِ الحَميدِ

And those who have been given knowledge see that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth and guides to the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy.

Saba 34:7

وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا هَل نَدُلُّكُم عَلىٰ رَجُلٍ يُنَبِّئُكُم إِذا مُزِّقتُم كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُم لَفى خَلقٍ جَديدٍ

And those who disbelieved said: Shall we point you to a man who tells you that, when you have been utterly torn apart, you will indeed be in a new creation?

Saba 34:8

أَفتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ۗ بَلِ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالـٔاخِرَةِ فِى العَذابِ وَالضَّلٰلِ البَعيدِ

Has he fabricated a lie against The God, or is there madness in him? Rather, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are in punishment and far-reaching error.

Saba 34:9

أَفَلَم يَرَوا إِلىٰ ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ إِن نَشَأ نَخسِف بِهِمُ الأَرضَ أَو نُسقِط عَلَيهِم كِسَفًا مِنَ السَّماءِ ۚ إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايَةً لِكُلِّ عَبدٍ مُنيبٍ

Have they not looked at what is before them and behind them of heaven and earth? If We will, We can make the earth swallow them, or cause pieces of the sky to fall upon them. Indeed, in that is a sign for every servant who turns back.

Saba 34:10

وَلَقَد ءاتَينا داوۥدَ مِنّا فَضلًا ۖ يٰجِبالُ أَوِّبى مَعَهُ وَالطَّيرَ ۖ وَأَلَنّا لَهُ الحَديدَ

And We certainly gave David bounty from Us: O mountains, echo with him, and the birds too. And We softened iron for him,

Saba 34:11

أَنِ اعمَل سٰبِغٰتٍ وَقَدِّر فِى السَّردِ ۖ وَاعمَلوا صٰلِحًا ۖ إِنّى بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ

Make ample coats of mail, and measure the links. And do righteousness; indeed, I see what you do.

Saba 34:12

وَلِسُلَيمٰنَ الرّيحَ غُدُوُّها شَهرٌ وَرَواحُها شَهرٌ ۖ وَأَسَلنا لَهُ عَينَ القِطرِ ۖ وَمِنَ الجِنِّ مَن يَعمَلُ بَينَ يَدَيهِ بِإِذنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَمَن يَزِغ مِنهُم عَن أَمرِنا نُذِقهُ مِن عَذابِ السَّعيرِ

And for Solomon, the wind: its morning journey was a month and its evening journey a month. And We made the spring of copper flow for him. And among the jinn were those who worked before him by his Lord’s permission. And whoever among them deviated from Our command, We made him taste the punishment of the blaze.

Saba 34:13

يَعمَلونَ لَهُ ما يَشاءُ مِن مَحٰريبَ وَتَمٰثيلَ وَجِفانٍ كَالجَوابِ وَقُدورٍ راسِيٰتٍ ۚ اعمَلوا ءالَ داوۥدَ شُكرًا ۚ وَقَليلٌ مِن عِبادِىَ الشَّكورُ

They made for him whatever he wished of sanctuaries, statues, bowls like reservoirs, and firmly set cauldrons. Work in gratitude, family of David. And few of My servants are grateful.

Saba 34:14

فَلَمّا قَضَينا عَلَيهِ المَوتَ ما دَلَّهُم عَلىٰ مَوتِهِ إِلّا دابَّةُ الأَرضِ تَأكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُ ۖ فَلَمّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الجِنُّ أَن لَو كانوا يَعلَمونَ الغَيبَ ما لَبِثوا فِى العَذابِ المُهينِ

Then when We decreed death for him, nothing indicated his death to them except a creature of the earth eating his staff. Then when he fell, it became clear to the jinn that, had they known the unseen, they would not have remained in the humiliating punishment.

Saba 34:15

لَقَد كانَ لِسَبَإٍ فى مَسكَنِهِم ءايَةٌ ۖ جَنَّتانِ عَن يَمينٍ وَشِمالٍ ۖ كُلوا مِن رِزقِ رَبِّكُم وَاشكُروا لَهُ ۚ بَلدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفورٌ

There was certainly a sign for Sheba in their dwelling place: two gardens, on the right and the left. Eat of your Lord’s provision and be grateful to Him. A good land and a forgiving Lord.

Saba 34:16

فَأَعرَضوا فَأَرسَلنا عَلَيهِم سَيلَ العَرِمِ وَبَدَّلنٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيهِم جَنَّتَينِ ذَواتَى أُكُلٍ خَمطٍ وَأَثلٍ وَشَىءٍ مِن سِدرٍ قَليلٍ

But they turned away, so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and exchanged their two gardens for two gardens bearing bitter fruit, tamarisks, and a few lote trees.

Saba 34:17

ذٰلِكَ جَزَينٰهُم بِما كَفَروا ۖ وَهَل نُجٰزى إِلَّا الكَفورَ

Thus We repaid them for their ingratitude. And do We repay anyone but the deeply ungrateful?

Saba 34:18

وَجَعَلنا بَينَهُم وَبَينَ القُرَى الَّتى بٰرَكنا فيها قُرًى ظٰهِرَةً وَقَدَّرنا فيهَا السَّيرَ ۖ سيروا فيها لَيالِىَ وَأَيّامًا ءامِنينَ

And between them and the towns We had blessed, We placed visible towns and measured the journey between them: Travel through them by night and day in safety.

Saba 34:19

فَقالوا رَبَّنا بٰعِد بَينَ أَسفارِنا وَظَلَموا أَنفُسَهُم فَجَعَلنٰهُم أَحاديثَ وَمَزَّقنٰهُم كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ ۚ إِنَّ فى ذٰلِكَ لَـٔايٰتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبّارٍ شَكورٍ

But they said: Our Lord, lengthen the distances between our journeys. And they wronged themselves, so We made them tales and scattered them utterly. Indeed, in that are signs for everyone steadfastly patient and grateful.

Saba 34:20

وَلَقَد صَدَّقَ عَلَيهِم إِبليسُ ظَنَّهُ فَاتَّبَعوهُ إِلّا فَريقًا مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

And Iblis certainly found his assumption about them confirmed, so they followed him, except for a group of believers.

Saba 34:21

وَما كانَ لَهُ عَلَيهِم مِن سُلطٰنٍ إِلّا لِنَعلَمَ مَن يُؤمِنُ بِالـٔاخِرَةِ مِمَّن هُوَ مِنها فى شَكٍّ ۗ وَرَبُّكَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَىءٍ حَفيظٌ

And he had no authority over them, except so that We might know who believes in the Hereafter from who is in doubt about it. And your Lord is Guardian over all things.

Saba 34:22

قُلِ ادعُوا الَّذينَ زَعَمتُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ لا يَملِكونَ مِثقالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلا فِى الأَرضِ وَما لَهُم فيهِما مِن شِركٍ وَما لَهُ مِنهُم مِن ظَهيرٍ

Say: Call upon those you claim besides The God. They possess not the weight of a particle in the heavens or the earth, nor do they have any share in them, nor does He have any helper among them.

Saba 34:23

وَلا تَنفَعُ الشَّفٰعَةُ عِندَهُ إِلّا لِمَن أَذِنَ لَهُ ۚ حَتّىٰ إِذا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلوبِهِم قالوا ماذا قالَ رَبُّكُم ۖ قالُوا الحَقَّ ۖ وَهُوَ العَلِىُّ الكَبيرُ

And intercession does not benefit with Him except for one to whom He has given permission. Until, when fear is removed from their hearts, they say: What did your Lord say? They say: The truth. And He is the Most High, the Great.

Saba 34:24

قُل مَن يَرزُقُكُم مِنَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ قُلِ اللَّهُ ۖ وَإِنّا أَو إِيّاكُم لَعَلىٰ هُدًى أَو فى ضَلٰلٍ مُبينٍ

Say: Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? Say: The God. And indeed, either we or you are upon guidance or in clear error.

Saba 34:25

قُل لا تُسـَٔلونَ عَمّا أَجرَمنا وَلا نُسـَٔلُ عَمّا تَعمَلونَ

Say: You will not be asked about what we have committed, nor will we be asked about what you do.

Saba 34:26

قُل يَجمَعُ بَينَنا رَبُّنا ثُمَّ يَفتَحُ بَينَنا بِالحَقِّ وَهُوَ الفَتّاحُ العَليمُ

Say: Our Lord will gather us together, then judge between us in truth. And He is the Knowing Judge.

Saba 34:27

قُل أَرونِىَ الَّذينَ أَلحَقتُم بِهِ شُرَكاءَ ۖ كَلّا ۚ بَل هُوَ اللَّهُ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

Say: Show me those you have joined to Him as partners. By no means! Rather, He is The God, the Mighty, the Wise.

Saba 34:28

وَما أَرسَلنٰكَ إِلّا كافَّةً لِلنّاسِ بَشيرًا وَنَذيرًا وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

And We have sent you only to all people, as a bearer of good tidings and a warner, but most people do not know.

Saba 34:29

وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صٰدِقينَ

And they say: When will this promise be, if you are truthful?

Saba 34:30

قُل لَكُم ميعادُ يَومٍ لا تَستَـٔخِرونَ عَنهُ ساعَةً وَلا تَستَقدِمونَ

Say: You have an appointed day which you cannot delay by an hour or bring forward.

Saba 34:31

وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَن نُؤمِنَ بِهٰذَا القُرءانِ وَلا بِالَّذى بَينَ يَدَيهِ ۗ وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذِ الظّٰلِمونَ مَوقوفونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِم يَرجِعُ بَعضُهُم إِلىٰ بَعضٍ القَولَ يَقولُ الَّذينَ استُضعِفوا لِلَّذينَ استَكبَروا لَولا أَنتُم لَكُنّا مُؤمِنينَ

And those who disbelieved said: We will never believe in this Quran, nor in what came before it. And if you could see when the wrongdoers are held before their Lord, passing words back and forth! Those who were deemed weak say to those who were arrogant: Were it not for you, we would have been believers.

Saba 34:32

قالَ الَّذينَ استَكبَروا لِلَّذينَ استُضعِفوا أَنَحنُ صَدَدنٰكُم عَنِ الهُدىٰ بَعدَ إِذ جاءَكُم ۖ بَل كُنتُم مُجرِمينَ

Those who were arrogant say to those who were deemed weak: Did we turn you away from guidance after it came to you? Rather, you were offenders.

Saba 34:33

وَقالَ الَّذينَ استُضعِفوا لِلَّذينَ استَكبَروا بَل مَكرُ الَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ إِذ تَأمُرونَنا أَن نَكفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَنَجعَلَ لَهُ أَندادًا ۚ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدامَةَ لَمّا رَأَوُا العَذابَ وَجَعَلنَا الأَغلٰلَ فى أَعناقِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۚ هَل يُجزَونَ إِلّا ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

And those who were deemed weak say to those who were arrogant: Rather, it was the scheming by night and day, when you commanded us to disbelieve in The God and set up equals to Him. And they conceal their regret when they see the punishment. And We place shackles around the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they repaid except for what they used to do?

Saba 34:34

وَما أَرسَلنا فى قَريَةٍ مِن نَذيرٍ إِلّا قالَ مُترَفوها إِنّا بِما أُرسِلتُم بِهِ كٰفِرونَ

And We sent no warner to any town without its affluent people saying: We disbelieve in what you have been sent with.

Saba 34:35

وَقالوا نَحنُ أَكثَرُ أَموٰلًا وَأَولٰدًا وَما نَحنُ بِمُعَذَّبينَ

And they said: We have more wealth and children, and we will not be punished.

Saba 34:36

قُل إِنَّ رَبّى يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيَقدِرُ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

Say: My Lord expands provision for whom He wills and restricts it, but most people do not know.

Saba 34:37

وَما أَموٰلُكُم وَلا أَولٰدُكُم بِالَّتى تُقَرِّبُكُم عِندَنا زُلفىٰ إِلّا مَن ءامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صٰلِحًا فَأُولٰئِكَ لَهُم جَزاءُ الضِّعفِ بِما عَمِلوا وَهُم فِى الغُرُفٰتِ ءامِنونَ

And neither your wealth nor your children bring you near to Us, but whoever believes and does righteousness: those will have a multiplied reward for what they have done, and they will be secure in the chambers.

Saba 34:38

وَالَّذينَ يَسعَونَ فى ءايٰتِنا مُعٰجِزينَ أُولٰئِكَ فِى العَذابِ مُحضَرونَ

And those who strive against Our signs, seeking to thwart them, will be brought into the punishment.

Saba 34:39

قُل إِنَّ رَبّى يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ وَيَقدِرُ لَهُ ۚ وَما أَنفَقتُم مِن شَىءٍ فَهُوَ يُخلِفُهُ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيرُ الرّٰزِقينَ

Say: My Lord expands provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts it for him. And whatever you spend, He replaces it. And He is the best of providers.

Saba 34:40

وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا ثُمَّ يَقولُ لِلمَلٰئِكَةِ أَهٰؤُلاءِ إِيّاكُم كانوا يَعبُدونَ

And on the day He gathers them all, then says to the angels: Was it you these people used to worship?

Saba 34:41

قالوا سُبحٰنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنا مِن دونِهِم ۖ بَل كانوا يَعبُدونَ الجِنَّ ۖ أَكثَرُهُم بِهِم مُؤمِنونَ

They say: Glory be to You! You are our guardian, apart from them. Rather, they used to worship the jinn; most of them believed in them.

Saba 34:42

فَاليَومَ لا يَملِكُ بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ نَفعًا وَلا ضَرًّا وَنَقولُ لِلَّذينَ ظَلَموا ذوقوا عَذابَ النّارِ الَّتى كُنتُم بِها تُكَذِّبونَ

So today none of you has power to benefit or harm another. And We say to those who did wrong: Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny.

Saba 34:43

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم ءايٰتُنا بَيِّنٰتٍ قالوا ما هٰذا إِلّا رَجُلٌ يُريدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُم عَمّا كانَ يَعبُدُ ءاباؤُكُم وَقالوا ما هٰذا إِلّا إِفكٌ مُفتَرًى ۚ وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلحَقِّ لَمّا جاءَهُم إِن هٰذا إِلّا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ

And when Our clear verses are recited to them, they say: This is only a man who wants to turn you away from what your fathers worshipped. And they say: This is only a fabricated falsehood. And those who disbelieved said of the truth when it came to them: This is only clear magic.

Saba 34:44

وَما ءاتَينٰهُم مِن كُتُبٍ يَدرُسونَها ۖ وَما أَرسَلنا إِلَيهِم قَبلَكَ مِن نَذيرٍ

And We have not given them books which they study, nor sent them any warner before you.

Saba 34:45

وَكَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم وَما بَلَغوا مِعشارَ ما ءاتَينٰهُم فَكَذَّبوا رُسُلى ۖ فَكَيفَ كانَ نَكيرِ

And those before them denied, while these have not reached a tenth of what We gave those. Yet they denied My messengers. So how was My repudiation?

Saba 34:46

قُل إِنَّما أَعِظُكُم بِوٰحِدَةٍ ۖ أَن تَقوموا لِلَّهِ مَثنىٰ وَفُرٰدىٰ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّروا ۚ ما بِصاحِبِكُم مِن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِن هُوَ إِلّا نَذيرٌ لَكُم بَينَ يَدَى عَذابٍ شَديدٍ

Say: I advise you of only one thing: stand for The God, in pairs and singly, then reflect. There is no madness in your companion. He is only a warner to you before a severe punishment.

Saba 34:47

قُل ما سَأَلتُكُم مِن أَجرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُم ۖ إِن أَجرِىَ إِلّا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَىءٍ شَهيدٌ

Say: Whatever reward I have asked of you is yours. My reward is only with The God. And He is Witness over all things.

Saba 34:48

قُل إِنَّ رَبّى يَقذِفُ بِالحَقِّ عَلّٰمُ الغُيوبِ

Say: My Lord casts the truth, the Knower of the unseen things.

Saba 34:49

قُل جاءَ الحَقُّ وَما يُبدِئُ البٰطِلُ وَما يُعيدُ

Say: The truth has come, and falsehood neither originates nor restores.

Saba 34:50

قُل إِن ضَلَلتُ فَإِنَّما أَضِلُّ عَلىٰ نَفسى ۖ وَإِنِ اهتَدَيتُ فَبِما يوحى إِلَىَّ رَبّى ۚ إِنَّهُ سَميعٌ قَريبٌ

Say: If I go astray, I go astray only against myself; and if I am guided, it is through what my Lord reveals to me. Indeed, He is Hearing, Near.

Saba 34:51

وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذ فَزِعوا فَلا فَوتَ وَأُخِذوا مِن مَكانٍ قَريبٍ

And if you could see when they are terrified, with no escape, and are seized from a nearby place.

Saba 34:52

وَقالوا ءامَنّا بِهِ وَأَنّىٰ لَهُمُ التَّناوُشُ مِن مَكانٍ بَعيدٍ

And they say: We believe in it. But how can they reach it from a distant place?

Saba 34:53

وَقَد كَفَروا بِهِ مِن قَبلُ ۖ وَيَقذِفونَ بِالغَيبِ مِن مَكانٍ بَعيدٍ

And they had disbelieved in it before, casting at the unseen from a distant place.

Saba 34:54

وَحيلَ بَينَهُم وَبَينَ ما يَشتَهونَ كَما فُعِلَ بِأَشياعِهِم مِن قَبلُ ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا فى شَكٍّ مُريبٍ

And a barrier is placed between them and what they desire, as was done with their counterparts before. Indeed, they were in disquieting doubt.
