And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allāh, who has favored us over many of His believing servants."

Wa laqad aatainaa Daawooda wa sulaimaana ‘ilmaa; wa qaalal hamdu lil laahil lazee faddalanaa ‘alaa kaseerim min ‘ibaadihil mu’mineen

ولقد ءاتينا داوۥد وسليمـن علما وقالا ٱلحمد لله ٱلذى فضلنا على كثير من عباده ٱلمؤمنين

And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given from all things. Indeed, this is evident bounty."

Wa warisa Sulaimaanu Daawooda wa qaala yaaa aiyuhan naasu ‘ullimnaa mantiqat tairi wa ooteenaa min kulli shai’in inna haazaa lahuwal fadlul mubeen

And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers of the jinn and men and birds, and they were [marching] in rows

وحشر لسليمـن جنودهۥ من ٱلجن وٱلإنس وٱلطير فهم يوزعون

Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."

So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."

Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all things, and she has a great throne.

Innee wajattum ra atan tamlikuhum wa ootiyat min kulli shai’inw wa lahaa ‘arshun ‘azeem

إنى وجدت ٱمرأة تملكهم وأوتيت من كل شىء ولها عرش عظيم

I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allāh, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided,

Wajattuhaa wa qawmahaa yasjudoona lishshamsi min doonil laahi wa zaiyana lahumush Shaitaanu a’maalahum fasaddahum ‘anis sabeeli fahum laa yahtadoon

[And] so they do not prostrate to Allāh, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare -

Allaa yasjudoo lillaahil lazee yukhrijul khab’a fis samaawaati wal ardi wa ya’lamu maa tukhfoona wa maa tu’linoon

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne."

Allaahu laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa Rabbul ‘Arshil Azeem (make sajda)

ٱلله لا إلـه إلا هو رب ٱلعرش ٱلعظيم

[Solomon] said, "We will see whether you were truthful or were of the liars.

Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it is [i.e., reads]: 'In the name of Allāh, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,

Innahoo min Sulaimaana wa innahoo bismil laahir Rahmaanir Raheem

إنهۥ من سليمـن وإنهۥ بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمـن ٱلرحيم

Be not haughty with me but come to me in submission [as Muslims].'"

Allaa ta’loo ‘alaiya waa toonee muslimeen (section 2)

ألا تعلوا على وأتونى مسلمين

She said, "O eminent ones, advise me in my affair. I would not decide a matter until you witness [for] me."

She said, "Indeed kings - when they enter a city, they ruin it and render the honored of its people humbled. And thus do they do.

But indeed, I will send to them a gift and see with what [reply] the messengers will return."

Wa innee mursilatun ilaihim bihadiyyatin fanaaziratum bima yarji’ul mursaloon

وإنى مرسلة إليهم بهدية فناظرة بم يرجع ٱلمرسلون

So when they came to Solomon, he said, "Do you provide me with wealth? But what Allāh has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in your gift.

Falammaa jaaa’a Sulaimaana qaala atumiddoonani bimaalin famaaa aataaniyal laahu khairum mimmmaaa aataakum bal antum bihadiy-yatikum tafrahoon

فلما جاء سليمـن قال أتمدونن بمال فما ءاتىنۦ ٱلله خير مما ءاتىكم بل أنتم بهديتكم تفرحون

Return to them, for we will surely come to them with soldiers that they will be powerless to encounter, and we will surely expel them therefrom in humiliation, and they will be debased."

[Solomon] said, "O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"

Qaala yaaa aiyuhal mala’u aiyukum yaateenee bi’arshihaa qabla ai yaatoonee muslimeen

قال يـأيها ٱلملؤا أيكم يأتينى بعرشها قبل أن يأتونى مسلمين

A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy."

قال عفريت من ٱلجن أنا ءاتيك بهۦ قبل أن تقوم من مقامك وإنى عليه لقوى أمين

Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."

Qaala nakkiroo lahaa ‘arshahaa nanzur atahtadeee am takoonu minal lazeena laa yahtadoon

So when she arrived, it was said [to her], "Is your throne like this?" She said, "[It is] as though it was it." [Solomon said], "And we were given knowledge before her, and we have been Muslims [in submission to Allāh].

Falammaa jaaa’at qeela ahaakaza ‘arshuki qaalat ka’annahoo hoo; wa ooteenal ‘ilma min qablihaa wa kunnaa muslimeen

فلما جاءت قيل أهـكذا عرشك قالت كأنهۥ هو وأوتينا ٱلعلم من قبلها وكنا مسلمين

And that which she was worshipping other than Allāh had averted her [from submission to Him]. Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people."

Wa saddahaa maa kaanat ta’budu min doonil laahi innahaa kaanat min qawmin kaafireen

وصدها ما كانت تعبد من دون ٱلله إنها كانت من قوم كـفرين

She was told, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a body of water and uncovered her shins [to wade through]. He said, "Indeed, it is a palace [whose floor is] made smooth with glass." She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

And We had certainly sent to Thamūd their brother Ṣāliḥ, [saying], "Worship Allāh," and at once they were two parties conflicting.

Wa laqad arsalnaaa ilaa Samooda akhaahum Saalihan ani’budul laaha fa izaa hum fareeqaani yakhtasimoon

ولقد أرسلنا إلى ثمود أخاهم صـلحا أن ٱعبدوا ٱلله فإذا هم فريقان يختصمون

He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil before [i.e., instead of] good? Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allāh that you may receive mercy?"

Qaala yaa qawmi lima tasta’jiloona bissaiyi’ati qablal hasanati law laa tas taghfiroonal laaha la’allakum turhamoon

Wa kaana fil madeenati tis’atu rahtiny yufsidoona fil ardi wa laa yuslihoon

وكان فى ٱلمدينة تسعة رهط يفسدون فى ٱلأرض ولا يصلحون

They said, "Take a mutual oath by Allāh that we will kill him by night, he and his family. Then we will say to his executor, 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful.'"

And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not.

Wa makaroo makranw wa makarnaa makranw wa hum laa yash’uroon

ومكروا مكرا ومكرنا مكرا وهم لا يشعرون

Then look how was the outcome of their plan - that We destroyed them and their people, all.

Fanzur kaifa kaana ‘aaqibatu makrihim annaa dammar naahum wa qawmahum ajma’een

فٱنظر كيف كان عـقبة مكرهم أنا دمرنـهم وقومهم أجمعين

So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.

And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allāh.

Wa anjainal lazeena aamanoo wa kaanoo yattaqoon

And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality while you are seeing?

Wa lootan iz qaala liqawmiheee ataatoonal faa hishata wa antum tubsiroon

ولوطا إذ قال لقومهۦ أتأتون ٱلفـحشة وأنتم تبصرون

Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly."

But the answer of his people was not except that they said, "Expel the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure."

[More precisely], is He [not best] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you rain from the sky, causing to grow thereby gardens of joyful beauty which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof? Is there a deity with Allāh? [No], but they are a people who ascribe equals [to Him].

قل عسى أن يكون ردف لكم بعض ٱلذى تستعجلون

And indeed, your Lord is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful."

Wa inna Rabbaka lazoo fadlin ‘alan naasi wa laakinna aksarahum laa yashkuroon

وإن ربك لذو فضل على ٱلناس ولـكن أكثرهم لا يشكرون

And indeed, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.

Wa inna Rabbaka la ya’lamu maa tukinnu sudooruhum wa maa yu’linoon

وإن ربك ليعلم ما تكن صدورهم وما يعلنون

Wa maa min ghaaa’ibatin fis samaaa’i wal ardi illaa fee kitaabin mubeen

وما من غائبة فى ٱلسماء وٱلأرض إلا فى كتـب مبين

Inna haazal Qur-aana yaqussu ‘alaa Baneee israaa’eela aksaral lazee hum feehi yakhtalifoon

إن هـذا ٱلقرءان يقص على بنى إسرءيل أكثر ٱلذى هم فيه يختلفون

And indeed, it is guidance and mercy for the believers.

وإنهۥ لهدى ورحمة للمؤمنين

Inna Rabbaka yaqdee bainahum bihukmih; wa Huwal ‘Azeezul ‘Aleem

إن ربك يقضى بينهم بحكمهۦ وهو ٱلعزيز ٱلعليم

So rely upon Allāh; indeed, you are upon the clear truth.

Fatawakkal ‘alal laahi innaka ‘alal haqqil mubeen

فتوكل على ٱلله إنك على ٱلحق ٱلمبين

Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they have turned their backs retreating.

Innaka laa tusmi’ul mawtaa wa laa tusmi’us summad du’aaa izaa wallaw mudbireen

إنك لا تسمع ٱلموتى ولا تسمع ٱلصم ٱلدعاء إذا ولوا مدبرين

Wa maaa anta bihaadil ‘umyi ‘an dalaalatihim in tusmi’u illaa mai yu’minu bi aayaatinaa fahum muslimoon

وما أنت بهـدى ٱلعمى عن ضلـلتهم إن تسمع إلا من يؤمن بـايـتنا فهم مسلمون

And when the word [i.e., decree] befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people were, of Our verses, not certain [in faith].

Wa izaa waqa’al qawlu ‘alaihim akhrajnaa lahum daaabbatan minal ardi tukal limuhum annan naasa kaanoo bi aayaatinaa laa yooqinoon (section 6)

And [warn of] the Day when We will gather from every nation a company of those who deny Our signs, and they will be [driven] in rows

Wa Yawma nahshuru min kulli ummatin fawjan mimmany yukazzibu bi Aayaatinaa fahum yooza’oon

ويوم نحشر من كل أمة فوجا ممن يكذب بـايـتنا فهم يوزعون

Until, when they arrive [at the place of Judgement], He will say, "Did you deny My signs while you encompassed them not in knowledge, or what [was it that] you were doing?"

Hattaaa izaa jaaa’oo qaala akazzabtum bi Aayaatee wa lam tuheetoo bihaa ‘ilman ammaazaa kuntum ta’maloon

حتى إذا جاءو قال أكذبتم بـايـتى ولم تحيطوا بها علما أماذا كنتم تعملون

And the decree will befall them for the wrong they did, and they will not [be able to] speak.

Wa waqa’al qawlu ‘alaihim bimaa zalamoo fahum laa yantiqoon

ووقع ٱلقول عليهم بما ظلموا فهم لا ينطقون

Do they not see that We made the night that they may rest therein and the day giving sight? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

Alam yaraw annaa ja’alnal laila li yaskunoo feehi wannahaara mubsiraa; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil liqaw miny-yu’minoon

ألم يروا أنا جعلنا ٱليل ليسكنوا فيه وٱلنهار مبصرا إن فى ذلك لـايـت لقوم يؤمنون

And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allāh wills. And all will come to Him humbled.

Wa Yawma yunfakhu fis Soori fafazi’a man fis samaawaati wa man fil ardi illaa man shaaa’al laah; wa kullun atawhu daakhireen

ويوم ينفخ فى ٱلصور ففزع من فى ٱلسمـوت ومن فى ٱلأرض إلا من شاء ٱلله وكل أتوه دخرين

And you see the mountains, thinking them motionless, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allāh, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Aware of that which you do.

Wa taral jibaala tahsabuhaa jaamidatanw wa hiya tamurru marras sahaab; sun’al laahil lazeee atqana kulla shai’; innahoo khabeerun bimaa taf’aloon

وترى ٱلجبال تحسبها جامدة وهى تمر مر ٱلسحاب صنع ٱلله ٱلذى أتقن كل شىء إنهۥ خبير بما تفعلون

Whoever comes [at Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it, and they, from the terror of that Day, will be safe.

Man jaaa’a bil hasanati falahoo khairun minhaa wa hum min faza’iny Yawma’izin aaminoon

من جاء بٱلحسنة فلهۥ خير منها وهم من فزع يومئذ ءامنون

And whoever comes with an evil deed - their faces will be overturned into the Fire, [and it will be said], "Are you recompensed except for what you used to do?"

Wa man jaaa’a bissai yi’ati fakubbat wujoohuhum fin Naari hal tujzawna illaa maa kuntum ta’maloon

ومن جاء بٱلسيئة فكبت وجوههم فى ٱلنار هل تجزون إلا ما كنتم تعملون

[Say, O Muḥammad], "I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city, who made it sacred and to whom [belongs] all things. And I am commanded to be of the Muslims [i.e., those who submit to Allāh].

Innamaaa umirtu an a’buda Rabba haazihil baldatil lazee harramahaa wa lahoo kullu shai’inw wa umirtu an akoona minal muslimeen

إنما أمرت أن أعبد رب هـذه ٱلبلدة ٱلذى حرمها ولهۥ كل شىء وأمرت أن أكون من ٱلمسلمين

And to recite the Qur’ān." And whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] himself; and whoever strays - say, "I am only [one] of the warners."

Wa an atluwal Qur-aana famanih tadaa fa innamaa yahtadee linafsihee wa man dalla faqul innamaaa ana minal munzireen

وأن أتلوا ٱلقرءان فمن ٱهتدى فإنما يهتدى لنفسهۦ ومن ضل فقل إنما أنا من ٱلمنذرين

And say, "[All] praise is [due] to Allāh. He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do."

Wa qulil hamdu lillaahi sa yureekum Aayaatihee fa ta’rifoonahaa; wa maa Rabbuka bighaafilin ‘ammaa ta’maloon (section 7)

وقل ٱلحمد لله سيريكم ءايـتهۦ فتعرفونها وما ربك بغـفل عما تعملون
