27. Surah An-Naml – Verses 41–80

He said, "Disguise for her her throne; we will see whether she will be guided [to truth] or will be of those who is not guided."

— Saheeh International

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].

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

She was told, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she thought it was a body of water1 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."

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil before [i.e., instead of] good?1 Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allāh that you may receive mercy?"

— Saheeh International

They said, "We consider you a bad omen, you and those with you." He said, "Your omen [i.e., fate] is with Allāh. Rather, you are a people being tested."1

— Saheeh International

And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs].

— Saheeh International

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,1 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful.'"

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality1 while you are seeing?2

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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."

— Saheeh International

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind.

— Saheeh International

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

— Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Praise be to Allāh, and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allāh better or what they associate with Him?"

— Saheeh International

[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?1 [No], but they are a people who ascribe equals [to Him].

— Saheeh International

Is He [not best] who made the earth a stable ground and placed within it rivers and made for it firmly set mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with Allāh? [No], but most of them do not know.

— Saheeh International

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?1 Is there a deity with Allāh? Little do you remember.

— Saheeh International

Is He [not best] who guides you through the darknesses of the land and sea and who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy? Is there a deity with Allāh? High is Allāh above whatever they associate with Him.

— Saheeh International

Is He [not best] who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth? Is there a deity with Allāh? Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

— Saheeh International

Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allāh, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected."

— Saheeh International

Rather, their knowledge is arrested concerning the Hereafter. Rather, they are in doubt about it. Rather, they are, concerning it, blind.

— Saheeh International

And those who disbelieve say, "When we have become dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be brought out [of the graves]?

— Saheeh International

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. This is not but legends of the former peoples."

— Saheeh International

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Proceed [i.e., travel] through the land and observe how was the end of the criminals."

— Saheeh International

And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

— Saheeh International

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

— Saheeh International

Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you [i.e., very near] - some of that for which you are impatient.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And there is nothing concealed1 within the heaven and the earth except that it is in a clear Register.2

— Saheeh International

Indeed, this Qur’ān relates to the Children of Israel most of that over which they disagree.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them by His [wise] judgement. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International
