1
Praise be to God, to whom belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; and to Him is the praise in the Hereafter. He is the Wise, the Ever-aware.
2
He knows what goes into the earth, and what comes out of it, and what comes down from the sky, and what climbs into it. He is the Compassionate, Forgiver.
3
Those who rejected said, the moment will not come upon us! Say, Yes, by my Lord, it will come to you. He is the Knower of the unseen, not even an atom's weight or less than that or greater can be hidden from Him, be it in the heavens or the earth. All are in a clear record.
4
That He may reward those who acknowledge and do good works. To them will be forgiveness and a generous provision.
5
As for those who sought against Our signs to frustrate them, they will have retribution of painful affliction.
6
Those that have been given knowledge will see that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth, and that it guides to the path of the Noble, the Praiseworthy.
7
Those who rejected said, Shall we lead you to a man who will tell you that after you are dismembered you will be created anew?
8
Has he invented a lie against God, or is there madness in him? Indeed, those who do not acknowledge the Hereafter will be in retribution and far straying.
9
Have they not seen all that is before them and behind them, in the heaven and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth to swallow them, or cause pieces of the sky to fall on them. In this is a sign for every obedient servant.
10
We granted David blessings from Us: O mountains, glorify with him, as well as the birds. We softened the iron for him.
11
That you may make Armour coats that fit perfectly, and work righteousness. For I am Seer of what you do.
12
For Solomon the wind was given, traveling one month coming and one month going, and We caused a spring of petroleum to flow for him. From among the Jinn are those that worked for him by his Lord's leave; and any one of them who turns from Our commands, We shall cause him to taste the retribution of the fire.
13
They made for him what he desired of enclosures, and statues, and pools of deep reservoirs, and heavy pots. O family of David, work to show thanks. Only a few of My servants are appreciative.
14
Then, when We decreed death for him, nothing informed them of his death until a worm kept eating from his staff, so when he fell down, the Jinn realized that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in the humiliating retribution.
15
There was for Sheba a sign in their homeland, with two paradises, on the right and the left. Eat from the provisions of your Lord, and be thankful to Him. A good land, and a forgiving Lord.
16
But they turned away, so We sent them a destructive flash flood, and We substituted their two gardens into two gardens of rotten fruits, thorny plants, and a skimpy harvest.
17
We thus requited them for what they rejected. We do not requite except the ingrate.
18
We placed between them and between the towns that We blessed, towns that were easy to see; and We measured the journey between them: Travel in them by night and day in complete security.
19
But they said, Our Lord, make the measure between our journeys longer, and they wronged themselves. So We made them a thing of the past, and We scattered them into small groups. In this are signs for every person who is patient, thankful.
20
Satan has been successful in his suggestions to them, for they followed him, except for a group of those who acknowledge.
21
He did not have any authority over them except that We might know who acknowledged the Hereafter from those who are doubtful about it. Your Lord is Keeper over all things.
22
Say, Call on those whom you have claimed besides God. They do not possess even a single atom's weight in the heavens, or the earth. They possess no partnership therein, nor is there for Him any assistant among them.
23
Nor will intercession be of any help with Him, except for whom He has already given leave. Until when the terror has subsided from their hearts, they ask: What did your Lord say? They will say, The truth! He is the Most High, the Great.
24
Say, Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? Say, God! Either we or you are guided, or are clearly astray.
25
Say, You will not be asked about our crimes, nor will we be asked for what you do.
26
Say, Our Lord will gather us together then He will judge between us with truth. He is the Judge, the Knowledgeable.
27
Say, Show me those whom you have set up as partners with Him! No; He is but God, the Noble, and the Wise.
28
We have sent you to all people to be a bearer of good news, as well as a warner; but most people do not know.
29
They say, When is this promise, if you are truthful?
30
Say, You have an appointed day, which you cannot delay by one moment, nor advance.
