 The revelation of this Book (the Qur’an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad) in truth: So worship Allah (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allah’s sake only, (and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Auliy?’ (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say).

We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah.” Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. Had Allah willed to take a son (or offspring or children), He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He created. But glory be to Him! (He is above such things). He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible. He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving. He created you (all) from a single person (Adam); then made from him his wife [Hawwa' (Eve)]. And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and female). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness, such is Allah your Lord. His is the kingdom, L? il?ha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turned away? If you disbelieve, then verily, Allah is not in need of you, He likes not disbelief for His slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased therewith for you. No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, so He will inform you what you used to do. Verily, He is the All-Knower of that which is in (men’s) breasts. and when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: “Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire! Is one who is obedient to Allah, prostrating himself or standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like one who disbelieves)? Say: “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” It is only men of understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah’s Signs and Verses). Say (O Muhammad): “O My slaves who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Isl?mic Monotheism), be afraid of your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and Allah’s earth is spacious (so if you cannot worship Allah at a place, then go to another)! Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning.

 Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. He it is Who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Ban? An-Nad?r) from their homes at the first gathering.

You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from All?h! But Allah’s (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see). and had it not been that All?h had decreed exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and in the Hereafter theirs shall be the torment of the Fire. That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger Muhammad. And whosoever opposes Allah, then verily, Allah is Severe in punishment. What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm-trees (of the enemy), or you left them standing on their stems, it was by Leave of Allah, and in order that He might disgrace the F?siq?n (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). and what Allah gave as booty (Fai’) to His Messenger (Muhammad) from them, for which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Messengers over whomsoever He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. What Allah gave as booty (Fai’) to His Messenger (Muhammad) from the people of the townships, it is for Allah.

 His Messenger (Muhammad), the kindred (of Messenger Muhammad), the orphans, Al?Mas?kin (the poor), and the wayfarer, in order that it may not become a fortune used by the rich among you. And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) , and fear Allah. Verily, All?h is Severe in punishment. and there is also a share in this booty) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking Bounties from Allah and to please Him and helping Allah (i.e. helping His religion) and His Messenger (Muhammad). Such are indeed the truthful (to what they say); and those who, before them, had homes (in Al-Madinah) and had adopted the Faith, love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given (from the booty of Ban? An-Nad?r), and give them (emigrants) preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that. And whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, such are they who will be the successful. and those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. Have you (O Muhammad) not observed the hypocrites who say to their friends among the people of the Scripture who disbelieve: “(By Allah) If you are expelled, we (too) indeed will go out with you, and we shall never obey any one against you, and if you are attacked (in fight), we shall indeed help you.” But All?h is Witness, that they verily, are liars. Surely, if they (the Jews) are expelled, never will they (hypocrites) go out with them, and if they are attacked, they will never help them. And if they do help them, they (hypocrites) will turn their backs, so they will not be victorious. Verily, you (believers in the Oneness of Allah - Isl?mic Monotheism) are more awful as a fear in their (Jews of Ban? An-Nad?r) breasts than Allah. That is because they are a people who comprehend not (the Majesty and Power of Allah). They fight not against you even together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Their enmity among themselves is very great. You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided, that is because they are a people who understand not. They are like their immediate predecessors (the Jews of Ban? Qain?q?’, who suffered), they tasted the evil result of their conduct, and (in the Hereafter, there is) for them a painful torment their allies deceived them) like Shait?n (Satan), when he says to man:  “Disbelieve in Allah.” But when (man) disbelieves in Allah, Shait?n (Satan) says: “I am free of you, I fear All?h, the Lord of the ‘Alam?n (mankind, jinns and all that exists)! So the end of both will be that they will be in the Fire, abiding therein. Such is the recompense of the Z?lim?n (i.e. polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in All?h and in His Oneness, etc. O you who believe! Fear All?h and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear All?h. Verily, All?h is All-Aware of what you do. and be not like those who forgot All?h (i.e. became disobedient to Allah) and He caused them to forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds). Those are the F?siq?n (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful. Had We sent down this Qur’?n on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rending asunder by the fear of All?h. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect. He is All?h, than Whom there is L? il?ha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen (open). He is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Those who disbelieve from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and among Al-Mushrik?n,were not going to leave (their disbelief) until there came to them clear evidence. A Messenger (Muhammad from All?h, reciting (the Qur’?n) purified pages [purified from Al-B?til (falsehood, etc. Containing correct and straight laws from All?h. and the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) differed not until after there came to them clear evidence. (i.e. Prophet Muhammad and whatever was revealed to him). and they were commanded not, but that they should worship All?h, and worship none.

But Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Sal?t (Iq?mat-as-Sal?t) and give Zak?t: and that is the right religion. Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Isl?m, the Qur'?n and Prophet Muhammad from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrik?n will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures. Verily, those who believe [in the Oneness of All?h, and in His Messenger Muhammad including all obligations ordered by Isl?m] and do righteous good deeds, they are the best of creatures. Their reward with their Lord is ‘Adn (Eden) Paradise (Gardens of Eternity), underneath which rivers flow, they will abide therein forever, All?h Well-Pleased with them, and they with Him. That is for him who fears his Lord.

 T??S?n?M?m .These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’?n, and none but All?h (Alone) knows their meanings. These are Verses of the manifest Book (that makes clear truth from falsehood, good from evil, etc. We recite to you some of the news of M?sa (Moses) and Fir’aun (Pharaoh) in truth, for a people who believe (those who believe in this Qur’?n, and in the Oneness of All?h). Verily, Fir’aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them, killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the Mufsid?n (i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrants, etc.) and We wished to do a favour to those who were weak (and oppressed) in the land, and to make them rulers and to make them the inheritors. and to establish them in the land, and We let Fir’aun (Pharaoh) and H?m?n and their hosts receive from them that which they feared. and We inspired the mother of M?sa (Moses), (saying): “Suckle him [M?sa (Moses)], but when you fear for him, then cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve. Verily! We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of (Our) Messengers. Then the household of Fir’aun (Pharaoh) picked him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a (cause of) grief. Verily! Fir’aun (Pharaoh), H?m?n and their hosts were sinners. and the wife of Fir’aun (Pharaoh) said: “A comfort of the eye for me and for you. Kill him not, perhaps he may be of benefit to us, or we may adopt him as a son.” And they perceive not (the result of that). and the heart of the mother of M?sa (Moses) became empty [from every thought, except the thought of M?sa (Moses)]. She was very near to disclose his (case, i.e. the child is her son), had We not strengthened her heart (with Faith), so that she might remain as one of the believers. and she said to his [Musa's (Moses)] sister: “Follow him.” So she (his sister) watched him from a far place secretly, while they perceived not. and We had already forbidden (other) foster suckling mothers for him, until she (his sister came up and) said: “Shall I direct you to a household who will rear him for you, and sincerely they will look after him in a good manner? So did We restore him to his mother, that she might be delighted, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the Promise of All?h is true. But most of them know not. and when he attained his full strength, and was perfect (in manhood), We bestowed on him Hukman (Prophethood, right judgement of the affairs) and religious knowledge [of the religion of his forefathers i.e. Isl?mic Monotheism]. And thus do We reward the Muhsin?n (i.e. good doers - see the footnote of V.9:120). and he entered the city at a time of unawareness of its people, and he found there two men fighting, - one of his party (his religion - from the Children of Israel), and the other of his foes. The man of his (own) party asked him for help against his foe, so M?sa (Moses) struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: “This is of Shait?n’s (Satan) doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy. He said: “My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, so forgive me.” Then He forgave him. Verily, He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. He said: “My Lord! For that with which You have favoured me, I will never more be a helper for the Mujrim?n (criminals, disobedient to All?h, polytheists, sinners, etc.)! So he became afraid, looking about in the city (waiting as to what will be the result of his crime of killing), when behold, the man who had sought his help the day before, called for his help (again). M?sa (Moses) said to him: “Verily, you are a plain misleader! Then when he decided to seize the man who was an enemy to both of them, the man said: “O M?sa (Moses)! Is it your intention to kill me as you killed a man yesterday? Your aim is nothing but to become a tyrant in the land, and not to be one of those who do right. and there came a man running, from the farthest end of the city. He said: “O M?sa (Moses)! Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you, to kill you, so escape.Truly, I am to you of those who give sincere advice.

Alif?L?m?M?m. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'?n, and none but All?h (Alone) knows their meanings. The revelation of the Book (this Qur'?n) is from the Lord of the 'Alam?n (mankind, jinns and all that exists) in which there is not doubt! Or say they: "He (Muhammad) has fabricated it?" Nay, it is the truth from your Lord, that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you (O Muhammad), in order that they may be guided. All?h it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six Days. Then He Istaw? (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Wal? (protector or helper etc.) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember (or be admonished)? He arranges (every) affair from the heavens to the earth, then it (affair) will go up to Him, in one Day, the space whereof is a thousand years of your reckoning (i.e. reckoning of our present world's time). That is He, the All?Knower of the unseen and the seen, the All?Mighty, the Most Merciful. Who made everything He has created good, and He began the creation of man from clay. Then He made his offspring from semen of worthless water (male and female sexual discharge). Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul (created by All?h for that person), and He gave you hearing (ears), sight (eyes) and hearts. Little is the thanks you give! and they say: "When we are (dead and become) lost in the earth, shall we indeed be recreated anew?" Nay, but they deny the Meeting with their Lord! Say: The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls, then you shall be brought to your Lord. and if you only could see when the Mujrim?n (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) shall hang their heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily! We now believe with certainty. and if We had willed, surely! We would have given every person his guidance, but the Word from Me took effect (about evil?doers), that I will fill Hell with jinn and mankind together. Then taste you (the torment of the Fire) because of your forgetting the Meeting of this Day of yours, (and) surely! We too will forget you, so taste you the abiding torment for what you used to do. Only those believe in Our Ay?t (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), who, when they are reminded of them fall down prostrate, and glorify the Praises of their Lord, and they are not proud. Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend (charity in All?h's Cause) out of what We have bestowed on them. No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do. Is then he who is a believer like him who is F?siq (disbeliever and disobedient to All?h)? Not equal are they. As for those who believe (in the Oneness of All?h Isl?mic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, for them are Gardens (Paradise) as an entertainment, for what they used to do. and as for those who are F?siq?n (disbelievers and disobedient to All?h), their abode will be the Fire, every time they wish to get away therefrom, they will be put back thereto, and it will be said to them: "Taste you the torment of the Fire which you used to deny. and verily, We will make them taste of the near torment (i.e. the torment in the life of this world, i.e. disasters, calamities, etc.) prior to the supreme torment (in the Hereafter), in order that they may (repent and) return (i.e. accept Isl?m). and who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ay?t (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, then he turns aside therefrom? Verily, We shall exact retribution from the Mujrim?n (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.). and indeed We gave M?sa (Moses) the Scripture [the Taur?t (Torah)]. So be not you in doubt of meeting him [i.e.when you met M?sa (Moses) during the night of Al?Isra' and Al?Mi'r?j over the heavens]. And We made it [the Taur?t (Torah)] a guide to the Children of Israel. and We made from among them (Children of Israel), leaders, giving guidance under Our Command, when they were patient and used to believe with certainty in Our Ay?t (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.

O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before All?h and His Messenger and fear All?h. Verily! All?h is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet nor speak aloud to him in talk as you speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds may be rendered fruitless while you perceive not. Verily! Those who lower their voices in the presence of All?h’s Messenger they are the ones whose hearts All?h has tested for piety. For them is forgiveness and a great reward. Verily! Those who call you from behind the dwellings, most of them have no sense. and if they had patience till you could come out to them, it would have been better for them. And All?h is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done. and know that, among you there is the Messenger of All?h If he were to obey you (i.e. follow your opinions and desires) in much of the matter, you would surely be in trouble, but All?h has endeared the Faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience (to All?h and His Messenger) hateful to you. These! They are the rightly guided ones, (This is) a Grace from All?h and His Favour. And All?h is All-Knowing, All-Wise. and if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both, but if one of them rebels against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which rebels till it complies with the Command of All?h; then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! All?h loves those who are equitable. The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Isl?mic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear All?h, that you may receive mercy. O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one’s brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Z?lim?n (wrong-doers, etc.). O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting) . And fear All?h. Verily, All?h is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with All?h is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaq?n (pious - see V.2:2)]. Verily, All?h is All-Knowing, All-Aware. The bedouins say: “We believe.” Say: “You believe not but you only say, ‘We have surrendered (in Isl?m),’ for Faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you obey All?h and His Messenger. He will not decrease anything in reward for your deeds. Verily, All?h is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Only those are the believers who have believed in All?h and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of All?h. Those! They are the truthful. Say: “Will you inform All?h about your religion? While All?h knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and All?h is All-Aware of everything. They regard as favour upon you (O Muhammad) that they have embraced Isl?m. Say: “Count not your Isl?m as a favour upon me. Nay, but All?h has conferred a favour upon you, that He has guided you to the Faith, if you indeed are true. Verily, All?h knows the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And All?h is the All-Seer of what you do.

H?-M?m. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'?n, and none but All?h (Alone) knows their meanings]. The revelation of the Book (this Qur’?n) is from All?h the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestower (of favours), L? il?ha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return. None disputes in the Ay?t (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of All?h but those who disbelieve. So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land (for their purposes) deceive you [O Muhammad their ultimate end will be the Fire of Hell]! The people of N?h (Noah) and the confederates after them denied (their Messengers) before these, and every (disbelieving) nation plotted against their Messenger to seize him, and disputed by means of falsehood to refute therewith the truth. So I seized them (with punishment), and how (terrible) was My punishment! Thus has the Word of your Lord been justified against those who disbelieved, that they will be the dwellers of the Fire. Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of All?h) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (in the Oneness of All?h) (saying): “Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the torment of the blazing Fire! Our Lord! And make them enter the ‘Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens) which you have promised them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring! Verily, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. and save them from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins, and whomsoever You save from (the punishment, because of what they did of) the sins (i.e. excuse them) that Day, him verily, You have taken into mercy.” And that is the supreme success. Those who disbelieve will be addressed (at the time of entering into the Fire): “All?h’s aversion was greater towards you (in the worldly life when you used to reject the Faith) than your aversion towards one another (now in the Fire of Hell, as you are now enemies to one another), when you were called to the Faith but you used to refuse. They will say: “Our Lord! You have made us to die twice (i.e. we were dead in the loins of our fathers and dead after our deaths in this world), and You have given us life twice (i.e. life when we were born and life when we are Resurrected)! Now we confess our sins, then is there any way to get out (of the Fire)? It will be said): “This is because, when All?h Alone was invoked (in worship, etc.) you disbelieved, but when partners were joined to Him, you believed! So the judgement is only with All?h, the Most High, the Most Great! It is He, Who shows you His Ay?t (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky. And none remembers but those who turn (to All?h) in obedience and in repentance (by begging His Pardon and by worshipping and obeying Him Alone and none else). So, call you (O Muhammad and the believers) upon (or invoke) All?h making (your) worship pure for Him (Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for All?h’s sake only and not to show-off and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). However much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of All?h) may hate (it). (He is All?h) Owner of High Ranks and Degrees, the Owner of the Throne. He sends the Inspiration by His Command to any of His slaves He wills, that he (the person who receives inspiration) may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (i.e. The Day of Resurrection). The Day when they will (all) come out, nothing of them will be hidden from All?h. Whose is the kingdom this Day? (All?h Himself will reply to His Question): It is All?h’s the One, the Irresistible! This Day shall every person be recompensed for what he earned. No injustice (shall be done to anybody). Truly, All?h is Swift in reckoning. and warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day that is drawing near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection), when the hearts will be choking the throats, and they can neither return them (hearts) to their chests nor can they throw them out. There will be no friend, nor an intercessor for the Z?lim?n (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), who could be given heed to. All?h knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal. and All?h judges with truth, while those to whom they invoke besides Him, cannot judge anything. Certainly, All?h! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

Those who perform As?Sal?t (Iq?mat?as?Sal?t) and give Zak?t and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter (resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell, etc.).  Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so they wander about blindly. They are those for whom there will be an evil torment (in this world). And in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. and verily, you (O Muhammad) are receiving the Qur’?n from the One, All-Wise, All-Knowing. (Remember) when M?sa (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. 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 All?h, the Lord of the ‘Alam?n (mankind, jinns and all that exists). O M?sa (Moses)! Verily! It is I, All?h, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 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 M?sa (Moses)! Fear not, verily! The Messengers fear not in front of Me. Except him who has done wrong and afterwards has changed evil for good, then surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 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 F?siq?n (rebellious, disobedient to All?h). But when Our Ay?t (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came to them, clear to see, they said: “This is a manifest magic. and they belied them (those Ay?t) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ay?t) are from All?h, and M?sa (Moses) is the Messenger of All?h in truth, but they disliked to obey M?sa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsid?n (disbelievers, disobedient to All?h, evil-doers, liars.). and indeed We gave knowledge to Daw?d (David) and Sulaim?n (Solomon), and they both said: “All the praises and thanks be to All?h, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves! and Sulaim?n (Solomon) inherited (the knowledge of) Daw?d (David). He said: “O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from All?h). and there were gathered before Sulaim?n (Solomon) his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forwards). Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: “O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaim?n (Solomon) and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not. So he [Sulaim?n (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. He inspected the birds, and said: “What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason. 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. 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. I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of All?h, and Shait?n (Satan) has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from (All?h’s) Way, so they have no guidance, Al-L? (this word has two interpretations) (A) [As Shait?n (Satan) has barred them from All?h's Way] so that they do not worship (prostrate before) All?h, or (B) So that they may worship (prostrate before) All?h, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. [Tafsir At-Tabar?, Vol. 19, Page 149] All?h, L? il?ha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne! [Sulaim?n (Solomon)] said: “We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars. Go you with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back from them, and see what (answer) they return.
