5
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ ulā-ikal ladhīna lahum sū-ul `adhābi wahum fil-ākhirati humul-akhsarūn They are the ones for whom there is a terrible punishment, and they are the ones who will be the biggest losers in the Hereafter.

I will bring you some news from it, or bring you a firebrand so that you may warm yourselves.’
8
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِىَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ falammā jā-ahā nūdiya an būrika man fin nāri wa man ḥawlahā wasubḥānallāhi rabbil `ālamīn When he came to it, he was called: ‘Blessed is He who is in the fire and who is [as well] around it, and immaculate is Allah, the Lord of all the worlds!’

So observe how the fate of the agents of corruption was!
15
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَـٰنَ عِلْمًا ۖ وَقَالَا ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ walaqad ātaynā dāwūda wasulaymāna `il-mā ۖ waqālal ḥamdu lillāhil ladhī faḍḍalanā `alā kathīrin min `ibādihil mu-minīn Certainly, We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, who granted us an advantage over many of His faithful servants.’
16
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ دَاوُۥدَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْمُبِينُ wawaritha sulaymānu dāwūd ۖ waqāla yā-ayyuhan nāsu `ullimnā manṭiqaṭ ṭayri wa-ūtīnā min kulli shay-ī ۖ inna hādhā lahuwal faḍlul mubīn Solomon inherited from David, and he said, ‘O people! We have been taught the speech of the birds, and we have been given out of everything. Indeed this is a manifest advantage.’
17

Enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts should trample on you while they are unaware.’
19
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ fatabassama ḍāḥikan min qawlihā waqāla rabbi awzi`nī an ashkura ni`matakal latī an`amta `alayya wa`alā wālidayya wa-an a`mala ṣāliḥan tarḍāhu wa-adkhilnī biraḥmatika fī `ibādikaṣ ṣāliḥīn Whereat he smiled, amused at its words, and he said, ‘My Lord! Inspire me to give thanks for Your blessing with which You have blessed me and my parents, and that I may do righteous deeds which please You, and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your righteous servants.’
20
وَتَفَقَّدَ ٱلطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِىَ لَآ أَرَى ٱلْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَآئِبِينَ watafaqqadaṭ ṭayra faqāla mā liya lā aral hud-huda am kāna minal ghā-ibīn [One day] he reviewed the birds, and said, ‘Why do I not see the hoopoe? Or is he absent?’
21
لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّى بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ la-u`adhhibannahu `adhāban shadīdan aw la-adhbaḥannahu aw laya-tiyannī bisulṭānin mubīn ‘I will punish him with a severe punishment, or I will behead him, unless he brings me a credible excuse.’
22
فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍۭ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ famakatha ghayra ba`īdin faqāla aḥaṭtu bimā lam tuḥiṭ bihi waji-tuka min saba-in binaba-in yaqīn He did not stay for long [before he turned up] and said, ‘I have alighted on something which you have not alighted on, and I have brought you from Sheba a definite report.

25
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى يُخْرِجُ ٱلْخَبْءَ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ allā yasjudū lillāhil ladhī yukhrijul khab a fis samāwāti wal-arḍi waya`lamu mā tukhfūna wa mā tu`linūn so that they do not prostrate themselves to Allah, who brings forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and He knows whatever you hide and whatever you disclose.
26
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۩ allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa rabbul `arshil `aẓīm ۩ Allah—there is no god except Him—is the Lord of the Great Throne.’

But it is up to you to command. So consider what orders you will give.’
34
قَالَتْ إِنَّ ٱلْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا۟ قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوٓا۟ أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَآ أَذِلَّةً ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ qālat innal mulūka idhā dakhalū qaryatan afsadūhā waja`alū a`izzata ahlihā adhillah ۖ wakadhālika yaf`alūn She said, ‘Indeed when kings enter a town, they devastate it, and make the mightiest of its people the weakest. That is how they act.
35
وَإِنِّى مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌۢ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ wa innī mursilatun ilayhim bihadiyyatin fanāẓiratun bima yarji`ul mursalūn I will send them a gift, and see what the envoys bring back.’

Whoever gives thanks, gives thanks only for his own sake. And whoever is ungrateful [should know that] my Lord is indeed all-sufficient, all-generous.’
41
قَالَ نَكِّرُوا۟ لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِىٓ أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ qāla nakkirū lahā `arshahā nanẓur atahtadī am takūnu minal ladhīna lā yahtadūn He said, ‘Disguise her throne for her, so that we may see whether she is discerning or if she is one of the undiscerning ones.’

43

He said, ‘It is a palace paved with crystal.’ She said, ‘My Lord! Indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.’

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ walaqad arsalnā ilā thamūda akhāhum ṣāliḥan ani'-budullāha fa-idhā hum farīqāni yakhtaṣimūn Certainly We sent to Thamud Salih, their brother, [with the summons:] ‘Worship Allah!’ But thereat they became two groups contending with each other.
46
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ qāla yāqawmi lima tasta`jilūna bis sayyi-ati qablal-ḥasanah ۖ lawlā tastaghfirūnallāha la`allakum turḥamūn He said, ‘O My people!

قَالُوا۟ تَقَاسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُۥ وَأَهْلَهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِۦ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ qālū taqāsamū billāhi lanubayyitannahu wa-ahlahu thumma lanaqūlanna liwaliyyihi mā shahidnā mahlika ahlihi wa innā laṣādiqūn They said, ‘Swear by Allah that we will attack him and his family by night. Then we will tell his heir that we were not present at the murder of his family and that we speak the truth.’
50
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ wa makarū makran wa makarnā makran wahum lā yash`urūn They devised a plot, and We [too] devised a plan, but they were not aware.
51
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَـٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ fanẓur kayfa kāna `āqibatu makrihim annā dammarnāhum waqawmahum ajma`īn So observe how was the outcome of their plotting, as We destroyed them and all their people.
52

There is indeed a sign in that for a people who have knowledge.
53
وَأَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ wa-anjaynal ladhīna āmanū wakānū yattaqūn And We delivered those who had faith and were Godwary.
54
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ walūṭan idh qāla liqawmihi ata-tūnal fāḥishata wa-antum tubṣirūn [We also sent] Lot, when he said to his people, ‘What! Do you commit this indecency while you look on?
55

They are indeed a puritanical lot.’
57
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَـٰهَا مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ fa-anjaynāhu wa-ahlahu illam-ra-atahu qaddarnāhā minal ghābirīn So We delivered him and his family, except his wife. We ordained her to be among those who remained behind.
58

59
قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ qulil ḥamdu lillāhi wasalāmun `alā `ibādihil ladhīnaṣ-ṭafā ۗ ālllāhu khayrun ammā yushrikūn Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, and Peace be to the servants whom He has chosen.’ Is Allah better, or the partners they ascribe [to Him]?
60

What! Is there a god besides Allah? Indeed, they are a lot who equate [others with Allah].
61
أَمَّن جَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَـٰلَهَآ أَنْهَـٰرًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ amman ja`alal-arḍa qarāran waja`ala khilālahā anhāran waja`ala lahā rawāsiya waja`ala baynal baḥrayni ḥājizā ۗ a-ilāhun ma`allāh ۚ bal aktharuhum lā ya`lamūn Is He who made the earth an abode [for you], and made rivers [flowing] through it, and set firm mountains for it [’s stability], and set a barrier between the two seas...?

أَمَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ amman yabda-ul khalqa thumma yu`īduhu wa man yarzuqukum minas samā-i wal-arḍ ۗ a-ilāhun ma`allāh ۚ qul hātū burhānakum in kuntum ṣādiqīn Is He who originates the creation, then He will bring it back, and who provides for you from the sky and the earth...? What! Is there a god besides Allah? Say, ‘Produce your evidence, if you are truthful.’
65
قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْغَيْبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ qul lā ya`lamu man fis samāwāti wal-arḍil ghayba illallāh ۚ wa mā yash`urūna ayyāna yub`athūn Say, ‘No one in the heavens or the earth knows the Unseen except Allah, and they are not aware when they will be resurrected.’
