Ta. Sin. These are the Revelations of the Qur’an, (and) a Book clear in itself and clearly showing the truth;

Ali Unal 27:1

2

Guidance and glad tidings for the believers,

Ali Unal 27:2

3

Who establish the Prayer in conformity with its conditions and pay the Prescribed Purifying Alms, and in the Hereafter they have certainty of faith.

Ali Unal 27:3

4

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have surely decked out their deeds to be appealing to them (because of their unbelief), and so they wander in anxiety (about their worldly lives with deadened hearts).

Ali Unal 27:4

5

Those are the ones for whom is the worst of punishment (in the world and in the Hereafter), and they will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter (as they will be left with no good deeds forwarded for acceptance).

Ali Unal 27:5

6

And to you (O Messenger) the Qur’an is being conveyed from the Presence of One All-Wise, All-Knowing.

Ali Unal 27:6

7

(Remember and recount to them) when Moses (while traveling in the desert saw a fire and) said to his family: "I perceive a fire far off. (Wait here,) I will bring you from there some information (about where we are and the way we should take), or bring you at least a burning brand so that you may (kindle a fire and) warm yourselves."

Ali Unal 27:7

8

When he came to it, he was called: "Blessed is he who is at the fire and those who are around it; and All-Glorified is God (above having any resemblance with the created), the Lord of the worlds.

Ali Unal 27:8

9

O Moses! It is I, God, the All-Glorious with irresistible might, the All-Wise.

Ali Unal 27:9

10

Now, throw down your staff. (He threw it, and) when he saw it slithering as if a snake, he turned his back to flee. "O Moses, have no fear. The Messengers (those who enjoy nearness to Me and therefore absolute security) do not (have any reason to) feel fear in My Presence.

Ali Unal 27:10

11

Only those who have done wrong (should fear). But if (they repent and) substitute good in place of evil – surely I am All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

Ali Unal 27:11

12

Put your (right) hand into your bosom: it will come forth shining white without flaw. It is (one) among the nine signs (miracles for you to show) to the Pharaoh and his people. Surely, they are a transgressing people.

Ali Unal 27:12

13

But when Our signs came to them in plain sight and clear enough to have opened their eyes to truth, they said: "This is clearly nothing but sorcery."

Ali Unal 27:13

14

They rejected them out of mere iniquity and self-exaltation, although their consciences were convinced of their being true. So see how was the outcome for those given in to spreading disorder and corruption.

Ali Unal 27:14

15

(On the other hand, We saved the Children of Israel whom the Pharaohs had persecuted for centuries, and granted them great triumph. And in time,) We granted David and Solomon (special) knowledge. Both used to thank and praise God, saying: "All praise and gratitude are for God, Who has favored us more than many of His believing servants."

Ali Unal 27:15

16

Solomon succeeded David. He would say (citing in gratitude God’s favors to him): "O people! We have been taught the language of birds and we have been granted (some portion) of everything (which God provides for His servants). Surely this is a conspicuous favor.

Ali Unal 27:16

17

One day his hosts of jinn, and of human beingsmen, and of birds were assembled before Solomon (upon his command), and were led forth under full control

Ali Unal 27:17

18

Until, when they reached a valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O you ants! Get into your dwellings lest Solomon and his army crush you unawares."

Ali Unal 27:18

19

Smiling at her words (in humble contentment with God’s favors to him), he said: "My Lord! Inspire and guide me so that I may thank You for Your favor which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and so that I may act righteously in a manner that will please You; and include me (out of Your mercy) among Your righteous servants."

Ali Unal 27:19

20

(On another occasion) he inspected the birds and said: "How is it that I cannot see the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?

Ali Unal 27:20

21

I will certainly inflict a severe punishment on him or maybe even kill him unless he comes to me with a convincing reason (for his absence).

Ali Unal 27:21

22

Before long the hoopoe came up and said: "I have obtained (some important information) which you do not have, and have come to you from Sheba with reliable news.

Ali Unal 27:22

23

I found there a woman ruling over them, one who has been granted everything (that a ruler is expected to have), and who has a mighty throne.

Ali Unal 27:23

24

However, I found her and her people prostrating to the sun rather than God. Satan has decked out their deeds to be appealing to them, and thus has barred them from the (unique straight) way, so they are not rightly guided,

Ali Unal 27:24

25

So that they do not prostrate before God, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth (Who brings into the light of existence all things and beings in the heavens and the earth from the veil of non-existence), and knows what you keep secret and what you disclose.

Ali Unal 27:25

26

God – there is no deity but He, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.

Ali Unal 27:26

27

(Solomon) said: "We will see whether you are speaking the truth or are one of the liars.

Ali Unal 27:27

28

Go with this letter of mine, and drop it to them; then draw back from them and see how they will deal with it among themselves, and return.

Ali Unal 27:28

29

She (the Queen, when the letter reached her) said: "O you nobles! See, an honorable letter has been cast to me.

Ali Unal 27:29

30

It is from Solomon, and it is: ‘In the Name of God, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate.

Ali Unal 27:30
