TA SIN. THESE are the verses of the Qur'an, and collection of explicit laws,
2
A guidance and good tidings for the believers,
3
Who fulfil their devotional obligations, pay the zakat, and believe with certainty in the life to come.
4
We make their deeds attractive to those who do not believe in the Hereafter, so that they may wander in perplexity.
5
They are those who will suffer the worst chastisement in this life, and will be the greatest losers in the life to come.
6
You have been conveyed the Qur'an from One all-wise and all-knowing.
7
(Remember) when Moses said to his family: "I see a fire. I shall bring you news from it, or bring an ember that you may warm yourselves."
8
But when he reached it, a voice called out: "Blessed is He who is in the fire and all around it. Praised be God, the Lord of all the worlds.
9
O Moses, I am that God, the mighty and all-wise.
10
Throw down your staff." When he saw it wriggling like a serpent he turned his back and fled without turning (to look). "O Moses," (said the voice), "be not fearful. Surely those sent as messengers do not fear in My presence,
11
Except those who do some wrong but afterwards do good to make up for the wrong. And I am forgiving and merciful.
12
Put your hand in the bosom of your shirt; it will come out white without any blemish. This will be one of nine tokens for the Pharaoh and his people, who are a wicked lot indeed."
13
And when Our signs came as distinct proofs, they said: "This is only magic."
14
And they denied them out of malice and pride, though in their hearts they believed that they were true. So see how was the end of evil-doers!
15
We gave David and Solomon knowledge; and they said: "All praise be to God who has favoured us over many of His creatures who believe."
16
Solomon was heir to David, and he said: "O people, we have been taught the language of Tair, and have been given of everything. This is a clear favour indeed."
17
His armies of jinns and men and Tair assembled, formed into ranks, (and marched)
18
Till they reached the Valley of Naml. Said the lady of Naml: "O Naml, go into your dwellings lest Solomon and his hordes should crush you unawares."
19
(Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech, and said: "O Lord grant me that I should be grateful for the favours You have bestowed on me and my parents, and do good things of Your pleasing; and admit me among Your righteous devotees by Your grace."
20
When he reviewed the Tair, he said: "How is it I do not see Hud-hud? Is he absent?
21
I will punish him severely, or cut his throat, unless he bring a valid excuse."
22
But he was not long in coming, and reported: "I have been around where you have not been. I come from Saba with positive news.
23
I found a woman reigning over them, and she has been favoured with everything; and she has a throne that is magnificent.
24
I found that she and her people worship the sun in place of God, for Satan has made their deeds look attractive to them and has turned them away from the Path, so they do not find the way
25

God: There is no god but He, the Lord of the glorious throne."
27
(Solomon) said: 'We shall see if you speak the truth or you are a liar.
28
