T. S. These (letters) constitute proofs of the Quran; a profound scripture.
2
A beacon, and good news, for the believers.
3
Who observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and they are, with regard to the Hereafter, absolutely certain.
4
Those who do not believe in the Hereafter, we adorn their works in their eyes. Thus, they continue to blunder.
5
It is these who incur the worst retribution, and in the Hereafter, they will be the worst losers.
6
Surely, you are receiving the Quran from a Most Wise, Omniscient.
7
Recall that Moses said to his family, I see a fire; let me bring you news therefrom, or a torch to warm you.
8
When he came to it, he was called: Blessed is the One (who is speaking from) within the fire, and those around it. Glory be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
9
O Moses, this is Me, GOD, the Almighty, Most Wise.
10
Throw down your staff. When he saw it moving like a demon, he turned around and fled. O Moses, do not be afraid. My messengers shall not fear.

12
Put your hand in your pocket; it will come out white, without a blemish. These are among nine miracles to Pharaoh and his people, for they are wicked people.
13
When our miracles were presented to them, clear and profound, they said, This is obviously magic.
14
They rejected them and were utterly convinced of their wrong ways, due to their arrogance. Note the consequences for the evildoers.
15
We endowed David and Solomon with knowledge, and they said, Praise GOD for blessing us more than many of His believing servants.
16
Solomon was David's heir. He said, O people, we have been endowed with understanding the language of the birds, and all kinds of things have been bestowed upon us. This is indeed a real blessing.
17
Mobilized in the service of Solomon were his obedient soldiers of jinns and humans, as well as the birds; all at his disposal.
18
When they approached the valley of the ants, one ant said, O you ants, go into your homes, lest you get crushed by Solomon and his soldiers, without perceiving.
19
He smiled and laughed at her statement, and said, My Lord, direct me to be appreciative of the blessings You have bestowed upon me and my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Admit me by Your mercy into the company of Your righteous servants.
20
He inspected the birds, and noted: Why do I not see the hoopoe? Why is he missing?
21
I will punish him severely or sacrifice him, unless he gives me a good excuse.
22

23
I found a woman ruling them, who is blessed with everything, and possesses a tremendous palace.
24
I found her and her people prostrating before the sun, instead of GOD. The devil has adorned their works in their eyes, and has repulsed them from the path; consequently, they are not guided.
25
They should have been prostrating before GOD, the One who manifests all the mysteries in the heavens and the earth, and the One who knows everything you conceal and everything you declare.
26
GOD: there is no other god beside Him; the Lord with the great dominion.
27
(Solomon) said, We will see if you told the truth, or if you are a liar.
