Ta Sin These are verses from the Quran, a book that makes things clear;
2
it is guidance and good news for the believers
3
who pray regularly and pay obligatory alms and have firm faith in the Hereafter.
4
We have made those who do not believe in the Hereafter feel their actions appear good to them, so they wander blindly:
5
they are the ones who will have the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.
6
You have received this Quran from One who is all-wise, all-knowing.
7
Tell of Moses who said to his family, 'I have seen a fire. I will bring you news from there, or a burning brand for you to warm yourselves.'
8
When he came up to it, a voice called out, 'Blessed be whoever is near this fire, and whoever is around it! Glory be to God, Lord of the Universe!
9
O Moses, I am God, the Powerful, the Wise.
10
Throw down your staff.' But when he saw it moving like a snake, he turned and fled. 'Moses, do not be afraid! The messengers need have no fear in My presence;
11
as for those who do wrong and then do good after evil, I am most forgiving, most merciful.
12
Now put your hand inside your cloak next to your bosom and it will come out (shining) white, without any blemish. This will be one of the nine signs for Pharaoh and his people: for truly they are a rebellious people.'
13
But when Our signs came to them in all their clarity they said, 'This is clearly sorcery!'
14
And they persisted in rejecting them wrongfully and arrogantly, while in their hearts they were convinced of their truth. Observe, then, how evil was the fate of the evil-doers.
15
We bestowed knowledge on David and Solomon and they both said, 'Praise be to God who has exalted us above many of His believing servants.'
16
Solomon succeeded David. He said, 'Know, my people, that we have been taught the speech of birds and endowed with all good things. Surely this is God's manifest grace.'
17
Solomon's hosts of jinn and men and birds, were all gathered together in his presence and were ranged in battle order,
18
and when they came to the Valley of the Ants, one ant said, 'Ants! Go into your dwellings, in case Solomon and his hosts inadvertently crush you.'
19
Solomon smiled broadly at its words and said, 'Lord, inspire me to be thankful for the blessings You have granted me and my parents, and to do good deeds that please You; and include me, by Your grace, among Your righteous servants!'
20
Then Solomon inspected the birds, and said, 'How is it that I do not see the hoopoe? Is he absent then?
21
I shall surely punish him severely or order him to be executed, unless he gives me a good reason for his absence.'
22
But he was not long in coming, and said, 'I have learnt something you did not know. I have come to you from Sheba with reliable news.
23
I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything and she has a mighty throne.
24
I found her and her people worshipping the sun, instead of God. Satan has made their conduct appear good to them, and has thus diverted them from the right path, so that they might not be guided.
25
Should they not worship God who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and earth and knows both what you conceal and what you make known?
26
He is God: there is no deity but He, the Lord of the mighty throne.'
27
Solomon said, 'We shall soon see whether you have spoken the truth, or whether you are a liar.
28
Go with this letter of mine and lay it before them, then withdraw from them and see how they respond.'
29
The Queen of Sheba said, 'O Counsellors, an honourable letter has been delivered to me.
