Ta Sin. Those are the Signs of the Qur'an and a Clear Book.
2
It is guidance and good news for the muminun,
3
those who establish salat and pay zakat and are certain about the Next World.
4
As for those who do not have iman in the Next World. We have made their actions appear good to them and they wander about blindly.
5
Such people will receive an evil punishment and will be the greatest losers in the Next World.
6
You receive the Qur'an directly from One who is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
7
When Musa said to his people, 'I can make out a fire. I will bring you news from it or at least a burning brand so that hopefully you will be able to warm yourselves.'
8
But when he reached it, a voice called out to him, 'Blessed be Him who is in the Fire and all who are around it. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds!
9
Musa, I am Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
10
Throw down your staff.' Then when he saw it slithering like a snake he turned and fled and did not turn back again. 'Have no fear, Musa. In My Presence the Messengers have no fear –
11
except for one who did wrong and then changed evil into good – for I am Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
12
Put your hand inside your shirt front. It will emerge pure white, yet quite unharmed – one of nine Signs to Pharaoh and his people. They are a people of deviators.'
13
When Our Signs came to them in all their clarity, they said, 'This is downright magic,'
14
and they repudiated them wrongly and haughtily, in spite of their own certainty about them. See the final fate of the corrupters.
15
We gave knowledge to Dawud and Sulayman who said, 'Praise be to Allah who has favoured us over many of His slaves who are muminun.'
16
Sulayman was Dawud's heir. He said, 'Mankind! we have been taught the speech of birds and we have been given everything. This is indeed clear favour.'
17
Sulayman's troops, made up of jinn and men and birds, were assembled for him, paraded in tight ranks.
18
Then, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant said, 'Ants! enter your dwellings so that Sulayman and his troops do not crush you unwittingly.'
19
He smiled, laughing at its words, and said, 'My Lord, keep me thankful for the blessing You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and keep me acting rightly, pleasing You, and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your slaves who are righteous.'
20
He inspected the birds and said, 'How is it that I do not see the hoopoe? Or is it absent without leave?
21
I will certainly punish it most severely or slaughter it if it does not bring me clear authority.'
22
However, it was not long delayed, and then it said, 'I have comprehended something you have not and bring you accurate intelligence from Sheba.
23
I found a woman ruling over them who has been given everything. She possesses a mighty throne.
24
I found both her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. Shaytan has made their actions seem good to them and debarred them from the Way so they are not guided
25
and do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings out what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you divulge.
26
Allah – there is no god but Him – the Lord of the Mighty Throne.'
27
He said, 'We will soon see if you have told the truth or are a liar.
28
Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them and then withdraw from them a little and see how they respond.'
29
She said, 'Council! a noble letter has been delivered to me.
