1

ALL PRAISE BE to God to whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and His the praise in the world to come. He is all-wise and all-knowing.

Ahmed Ali 34:1

2

He knows whatever goes into the earth and whatsoever issues from it, whatsoever comes down from the sky, and whatsoever goes up to it. He is all-merciful, all-forgiving.

Ahmed Ali 34:2

3

The unbelievers say: "There is no coming of the Hour for us." Say: "Why not? By my Lord, the knower of the unknown, it will certainly come for you. Not even an atom's weight in the heavens and the earth, or something smaller or greater than it, is hidden from Him, and which is not recorded in the all-too-manifest Book,

Ahmed Ali 34:3

4

In order that He may recompense those who have believed and done the right. For them will be forgiveness and worthy sustenance.

Ahmed Ali 34:4

5

As for those who try to subvert Our signs, there is a punishment of painful torment.

Ahmed Ali 34:5

6

Those who have been given knowledge realise what has been revealed by the Lord is the truth, and leads to the path of the mighty and praiseworthy (God).

Ahmed Ali 34:6

7

The disbelievers say: "Shall we tell you of a man who prophesies that when you are reduced to particles and vanished in the dust, you will become a new creation

Ahmed Ali 34:7

8

Has he fabricated a lie about God, or is he possessed?" Not so; but those who believe not in the Hereafter are themselves afflicted and far astray.

Ahmed Ali 34:8

9

Do they not see what is before them and what is behind them of the heavens and the earth? We could cleave the earth and sink them, if We pleased, or drop a fragment of the sky upon them. There is surely a sign in this for every penitent creature.

Ahmed Ali 34:9

10

We favoured David with excellence, (and commanded): "O Jibal and Tair, glorify the greatness of God with him." And We made iron pliable for him.

Ahmed Ali 34:10

11

Make long coats of mail, (We said), "and fix their links, and do the right. I surely see whatsoever you do."

Ahmed Ali 34:11

12

We (subjugated) the wind to Solomon. Its morning's journey took one month, and the evening's one month. We made a spring of molten brass to flow for him; and many jinns laboured for him by the will of his Lord. Anyone of them who turned from Our command was made to taste the torment of blazing fire.

Ahmed Ali 34:12

13

They made for him whatever he wished, synagogues and statues, dishes large as water-troughs, and cauldrons firmly fixed (on ovens; and We said): "O House of David, act, and give thanks." But few among My creatures are thankful.

Ahmed Ali 34:13

14

When We ordained (Solomon's) death, none but the weevil, that was eating away his staff (on which he rested), pointed out to them that he was dead. When he fell down (dead) the jinns realised that if they had knowledge of the Unknown they would never have suffered demeaning labour.

Ahmed Ali 34:14

15

There was a sign for the people of Saba in their habitations: Two gardens, on the right and left. (And they were told:) "Eat of what your Lord has given you and be thankful. Fair is your land, and forgiving your Lord."

Ahmed Ali 34:15

16

But they turned away. So We let loose on them the inundation of (the dyke of) al-'Arim, replacing their gardens with two other gardens which bore only bitter gourd, and tamarisks and a few sparse lote-trees.

Ahmed Ali 34:16

17

That is how We requited them for their ingratitude. We only punish those who are ungrateful.

Ahmed Ali 34:17

18

Between them and the cities We had blessed We placed towns along the highway, and made them stages on their journey, (saying): "Travel between them in safety by day or by night."

Ahmed Ali 34:18

19

But they said: "O Lord, make the distance between the stages of our journeys longer;" but (by doing so) they wronged themselves. So We turned them into bygone tales, and dispersed them, scattered in all directions. Surely there are signs in this for those who endeavour and are grateful.

Ahmed Ali 34:19

20

Thus Iblis found his supposition about them to be true; and except for a section of believers they follow him.

Ahmed Ali 34:20

21

He had no authority over them save for the purpose of Our knowing who believed in the world to come, and who doubted it. For your Lord keeps a watch over everything.

Ahmed Ali 34:21

22

Say: "Call on those you imagine are gods apart from God. They are not masters even of an atom's weight in the heavens and the earth, nor do they have a share in them, nor is any one of them a helper (of God).

Ahmed Ali 34:22

23

No intercession avails with Him except his He allows, so that when their hearts are freed of fear, they ask (one another): "What did your Lord say?" They will answer: "What is expedient. He is the all-mighty and supreme."

Ahmed Ali 34:23

24

Say: "Who gives you food from the heavens and the earth?" Say: "God. Surely either you or we are on guidance, or are lost in clear error."

Ahmed Ali 34:24

25

Say: "You will not be questioned about the sins that we have committed, nor shall we be questioned about your deeds."

Ahmed Ali 34:25

26

Say: "Our Lord will gather us together and judge between us equitably, for He is the Judge all-knowing."

Ahmed Ali 34:26

27

Say: "Just show me those you associate with Him as compeers." No, (you cannot), for He is God, the all-mighty and all-wise."

Ahmed Ali 34:27

28

We have sent you only as a bearer of good tidings and admonisher for all mankind; yet most people do not understand.

Ahmed Ali 34:28

29

Instead they say: "When is this promise going to be, if you speak the truth?"

Ahmed Ali 34:29

30

Say: "Determined is the day of the promise, which you can neither put back nor advance an hour.''

Ahmed Ali 34:30
