Surah An-Naml

Verse 27:1

طٰسٓ ۫ تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْقُرْاٰنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟ۙ

Ṭaa-Seeen. Tilka ʹAayaatul Q̣ur-ʹaani wa-kitaabim mubeen;

Ṭâ-Sĩn. These are the verses of the Quran; the clear Book.

Verse 27:2

هُدًی وَّبُشْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Hudañw Wa-Bushraa lil-Muʹmineen,

˹It is˺ a guide and good news for the believers:

Verse 27:3

الَّذِیْنَ یُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَیُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ یُوْقِنُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena yuq̣eemoonaṣ Ṣalaata wa-yuʹtoonaz Zakaata wa-hum̃ bil-ʹAakhirati hum yooq̣inoon.

˹those˺ who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and have sure faith in the Hereafter.

Verse 27:4

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ زَیَّنَّا لَهُمْ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ ۟ؕ

ʹInnal laẓeena laa- yuʹminoona bil-ʹAakhirati Zayyannaa lahum ʹaʻmaalahum fahum yaʻmahoon.

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have certainly made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, so they wander blindly.

Verse 27:5

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الْاَخْسَرُوْنَ ۟

ʹUlaaaʹikal laẓeena lahum soooʹul ʻaẓaabi wa-hum fil ʹAakhirati humul ʹakhsaroon.

It is they who will suffer a dreadful torment, and in the Hereafter they will ˹truly˺ be the greatest losers.

Verse 27:6

وَاِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّی الْقُرْاٰنَ مِنْ لَّدُنْ حَكِیْمٍ عَلِیْمٍ ۟

Wa-ʹinnaka latulaq̣q̣al Q̣ur-ʹaana mil ladun Ḥakeemin ʻAleem.

And indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are receiving the Quran from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Knowing.

Verse 27:7

اِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰی لِاَهْلِهٖۤ اِنِّیْۤ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا ؕ سَاٰتِیْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ اَوْ اٰتِیْكُمْ بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُوْنَ ۟

ʹIẓ q̣aala Moosaa liʹahliheee ʹinneee ʹaanastu naaraa; saʹaateekum minhaa bikhabarin ʹaw ʹaateekum̃ bishihaabiñ q̣abasil laʻallakum taṣṭaloon.

˹Remember˺ when Moses said to his family, “I have spotted a fire. I will either bring you some directions from there, or a burning torch so you may warm yourselves.”

Verse 27:8

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُوْدِیَ اَنْ بُوْرِكَ مَنْ فِی النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا ؕ وَسُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟

Falammaa jaaaʹahaa noodiya ʹam boorika mañ fin Naari wa-man ḥawlahaa: wa-Subḥaanal laahi Rabbil ʻAalameen.

But when he came to it, he was called ˹by Allah˺, “Blessed is the one at the fire, and whoever is around it! Glory be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.

Verse 27:9

یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِنَّهٗۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ ۟ۙ

Yaa-Moosaaa ʹinnahooo ʹAnal laahul ʻAzeezul Ḥakeem!

O Moses! It is truly I. I am Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 27:10

وَاَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ؕ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَاَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَّلّٰی مُدْبِرًا وَّلَمْ یُعَقِّبْ ؕ یٰمُوْسٰی لَا تَخَفْ ۫ اِنِّیْ لَا یَخَافُ لَدَیَّ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۟ۗۖ

Wa-ʹalq̣i ʻaṣaak! falammaa raʹaahaa tahtazzu kaʹannahaa jaaannuñw wallaa mudbirañw walam yuʻaq̣q̣ib yaa-Moosaa laa- takhaf: ʹinnee laa- yakhaafu ladayyal mursaloon,

Now, throw down your staff!” But when he saw it slithering like a snake, he ran away without looking back. ˹Allah reassured him,˺ “O Moses! Do not be afraid! Messengers should have no fear in My presence.

Verse 27:11

اِلَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًا بَعْدَ سُوْٓءٍ فَاِنِّیْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

ʹIllaa mañ z̤̣alama s̤umma baddala ḥusnam baʻda soooʹiñ faʹinnee G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

˹Fear is˺ only for those who do wrong. But if they later mend ˹their˺ evil ˹ways˺ with good, then I am certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 27:12

وَاَدْخِلْ یَدَكَ فِیْ جَیْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَیْضَآءَ مِنْ غَیْرِ سُوْٓءٍ ۫ فِیْ تِسْعِ اٰیٰتٍ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِیْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹadkhil yadaka fee jaybika takhruj bayḍaaaʹa min g̣ayri soooʹ: fee tisʻi ʹAayaatin ʹilaa Firʻawna wa-q̣awmih: ʹinnahum kaanoo q̣awmañ faasiq̣een.

Now put your hand through ˹the opening of˺ your collar, it will come out ˹shining˺ white, unblemished. ˹These are two˺ of nine signs for Pharaoh and his people. They have truly been a rebellious people.”

Verse 27:13

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ اٰیٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ۚ

Falammaa jaaaʹathum ʹAayaatunaa mubṣiratañ q̣aaloo haaẓaa siḥrum mubeen!

But when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is pure magic.”

Verse 27:14

وَجَحَدُوْا بِهَا وَاسْتَیْقَنَتْهَاۤ اَنْفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَّعُلُوًّا ؕ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟۠

Wa-jaḥadoo bihaa wastayq̣anathaaa ʹañfusuhum z̤̣ulmañw waʻuluwwaa; fañz̤̣ur kayfa kaana ʻaaq̣ibatul mufsideen!

And, although their hearts were convinced the signs were true, they still denied them wrongfully and arrogantly. See then what was the end of the corruptors!

Verse 27:15

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا دَاوٗدَ وَسُلَیْمٰنَ عِلْمًا ۚ وَقَالَا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ فَضَّلَنَا عَلٰی كَثِیْرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaataynaa Daawooda wa-Sulaymaana ʻilmaa: Wa-q̣aalal Ḥamdu lil-laahil laẓee faḍḍalnaa ʻalaa kas̤eerim min ʻibaadihil Muʹmineen!

Indeed, We granted knowledge to David and Solomon. And they said ˹in acknowledgment˺, “All praise is for Allah Who has privileged us over many of His faithful servants.”

Verse 27:16

وَوَرِثَ سُلَیْمٰنُ دَاوٗدَ وَقَالَ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنْطِقَ الطَّیْرِ وَاُوْتِیْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ ؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِیْنُ ۟

Wa-waris̤a Sulaymaanu Daawooda wa-q̣aala yaaaʹayyuhan naasu ʻullimnaa Mañṭiq̣aṭ Ṭayri wa-ʹooteenaa miñ kulli shayʹ: ʹinna haaẓaa lahuwal Faḍlul mubeen.

And David was succeeded by Solomon, who said, “O people! We have been taught the language of birds, and been given everything ˹we need˺. This is indeed a great privilege.”

Verse 27:17

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَیْمٰنَ جُنُوْدُهٗ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ وَالطَّیْرِ فَهُمْ یُوْزَعُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ḥushira li-Sulaymaana junooduhoo minal jinni wal-ʹiñsi waṭṭayri fahum yoozaʹoon;

Solomon’s forces of jinn, humans, and birds were rallied for him, perfectly organized.

Verse 27:18

حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَتَوْا عَلٰی وَادِ النَّمْلِ ۙ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ یّٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوْا مَسٰكِنَكُمْ ۚ لَا یَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَیْمٰنُ وَجُنُوْدُهٗ ۙ وَهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ ۟

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaaa ʹataw ʻalaa Waadin namli q̣aalat namlatuñy yaaaʹayyuhan namlud khuloo masaakinakum, laa- yaḥṭimannakum Sulaymaanu wa-junooduhoo wahum laa- yashʻuroon.

And when they came across a valley of ants, an ant warned, “O ants! Go quickly into your homes so Solomon and his armies do not crush you, unknowingly.”

Verse 27:19

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّنْ قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ اَوْزِعْنِیْۤ اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِیْۤ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَیَّ وَعَلٰی وَالِدَیَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضٰىهُ وَاَدْخِلْنِیْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِیْ عِبَادِكَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ ۟

Fatabassama ḍaaḥikam miñ q̣awlihaa wa-q̣aala Rabbi ʹawziʻneee ʹan ʹashkura niʻmatakal lateee ʹanʻamta ʻalayya wa-ʻalaa waalidayya wa-ʹan ʹaʻmala ṣaaliḥañ tarḍaahu wa-ʹadkhilnee bi-Raḥmatika fee ʻibaadikaṣ ṣaaliḥeen.

So Solomon smiled in amusement at her words, and prayed, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You have blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please you. Admit me, by Your mercy, into ˹the company of˺ Your righteous servants.”

Verse 27:20

وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّیْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِیَ لَاۤ اَرَی الْهُدْهُدَ ۖؗ اَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَآىِٕبِیْنَ ۟

Wa-tafaq̣q̣adaṭ Ṭayra faq̣aala maa- liya laaa ʹar al-Hudhuda ʹam kaana minal g̣aaaʹibeen?

˹One day˺ he inspected the birds, and wondered, “Why is it that I cannot see the hoopoe? Or could he be absent?

Verse 27:21

لَاُعَذِّبَنَّهٗ عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًا اَوْ لَاَاَذْبَحَنَّهٗۤ اَوْ لَیَاْتِیَنِّیْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟

Laʹuʻaẓẓibannahoo ʻaẓaabañ shadeedan ʹaw laʹaẓbaḥannahooo ʹaw layaʹtiyannee bisulṭaanim mubeen.

I will surely subject him to a severe punishment, or ˹even˺ slaughter him, unless he brings me a compelling excuse.”

Verse 27:22

فَمَكَثَ غَیْرَ بَعِیْدٍ فَقَالَ اَحَطْتُّ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهٖ وَجِئْتُكَ مِنْ سَبَاٍۭ بِنَبَاٍ یَّقِیْنٍ ۟

Famakas̤a g̣ayra baʻeediñ faq̣aala ʹaḥatu bimaa lam tuḥiṭ bihee wa-jiʹtuka miñ Sabaʹim binabaʹiñy yaq̣een.

It was not long before the bird came and said, “I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba with sure news.

Verse 27:23

اِنِّیْ وَجَدْتُّ امْرَاَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَاُوْتِیَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

ʹInnee wa-jattum raʹatañ tamlikuhum wa-ʹootiyat miñ kulli shayʹiñw walahaa ʻarshun ʻaz̤̣eem.

Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne.

Verse 27:24

وَجَدْتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا یَسْجُدُوْنَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَزَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ فَهُمْ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-jattuhaa wa-q̣awmahaa yasjudoona lishshamsi miñ doonil laahi wa-zayyana lahumush Shayṭaanu ʹaʻmaalahum faṣaddahum ʻanis Sabeeli fahum laa- yahtadoon;

I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them—hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided—

Verse 27:25

اَلَّا یَسْجُدُوْا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ یُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَیَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُوْنَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaa yasjudoo lillaahil laẓee yukhrijul khabʹa fis samaawaati wal-ʹarḍi wayaʻlamu maa- tukhfoona wa-maa tuʻlinoon.

so they do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you ˹all˺ conceal and what you reveal.

Verse 27:26

اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیْمِ ۟

ʹAllaahu laaa ʹilaaha ʹillaa Huwa Rabbul ʻArshil ʻAz̤̣eem!

˹He is˺ Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”

Verse 27:27

قَالَ سَنَنْظُرُ اَصَدَقْتَ اَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala sanañz̤̣uru ʹaṣadaq̣ta ʹam kuñta minal kaaẓibeen!

Solomon said, “We will see whether you are telling the truth or lying.

Verse 27:28

اِذْهَبْ بِّكِتٰبِیْ هٰذَا فَاَلْقِهْ اِلَیْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا یَرْجِعُوْنَ ۟

Verse 27:29

Q̣aalat yaaʹayyuhal malaʹu ʹinneee ʹulq̣iya ʹilayya kitaabuñ kareem.

The Queen ˹later˺ announced, “O chiefs! Indeed, a noble letter has been delivered to me.

Verse 27:30

اِنَّهٗ مِنْ سُلَیْمٰنَ وَاِنَّهٗ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ ۟ۙ

ʹInnahoo miñ Sulaymaana wa-ʹinnahoo ˹Bismil laahir Raḥmaanir Raḥeem:˺

It is from Solomon, and it reads: ‘In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Verse 27:31

اَلَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَیَّ وَاْتُوْنِیْ مُسْلِمِیْنَ ۟۠

ʹAllaa taʻloo ʻalayya waʹ-toonee Muslimeen.

Do not be arrogant with me, but come to me, fully submitting ˹to Allah˺.’”

Verse 27:32

قَالَتْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَفْتُوْنِیْ فِیْۤ اَمْرِیْ ۚ مَا كُنْتُ قَاطِعَةً اَمْرًا حَتّٰی تَشْهَدُوْنِ ۟

Q̣aalat yaaaʹayyuhal malaʹu aftoonee feee ʹamree: maa- kuñtu q̣aaṭiʻatan ʹamran ḥattaa tashhadoon.

She said, “O chiefs! Advise me in this matter of mine, for I would never make any decision without you.”

Verse 27:33

قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اُولُوْا قُوَّةٍ وَّاُولُوْا بَاْسٍ شَدِیْدٍ ۙ۬ وَّالْاَمْرُ اِلَیْكِ فَانْظُرِیْ مَاذَا تَاْمُرِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aaloo naḥnu ʹuloo q̣uwwatiñw waʹuloo baʹsiñ shadeed: wal-ʹamru ʹilayki fañz̤̣uree maaẓaa taʹmureen.

They responded, “We are a people of strength and great ˹military˺ might, but the decision is yours, so decide what you will command.”

Verse 27:34

قَالَتْ اِنَّ الْمُلُوْكَ اِذَا دَخَلُوْا قَرْیَةً اَفْسَدُوْهَا وَجَعَلُوْۤا اَعِزَّةَ اَهْلِهَاۤ اَذِلَّةً ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ یَفْعَلُوْنَ ۟

Q̣aalat ʹinnal mulooka ʹiẓaa dakhaloo q̣aryatan ʹafsadoohaa wa-jaʻalooo ʹaʻizzata ʹahlihaaa ʹaẓillah: wa-kaẓaalika yafʻaloon.

She reasoned, “Indeed, when kings invade a land, they ruin it and debase its nobles. They really do so!

Verse 27:35

وَاِنِّیْ مُرْسِلَةٌ اِلَیْهِمْ بِهَدِیَّةٍ فَنٰظِرَةٌ بِمَ یَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹinnee mursilatun ʹilayhim bihadiyyatiñ fanaaz̤̣iratum bima yarjiʻul mursaloon.

But I will certainly send him a gift, and see what ˹response˺ my envoys will return with.”

Verse 27:36

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ سُلَیْمٰنَ قَالَ اَتُمِدُّوْنَنِ بِمَالٍ ؗ فَمَاۤ اٰتٰىنِ اللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّاۤ اٰتٰىكُمْ ۚ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ بِهَدِیَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُوْنَ ۟

When the chief-envoy came to him, Solomon said, “Do you offer me wealth? What Allah has granted me is far greater than what He has granted you. No! It is you who rejoice in ˹receiving˺ gifts.

Verse 27:37

اِرْجِعْ اِلَیْهِمْ فَلَنَاْتِیَنَّهُمْ بِجُنُوْدٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُمْ بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُمْ مِّنْهَاۤ اَذِلَّةً وَّهُمْ صٰغِرُوْنَ ۟

ʹIrjiʻ ʹilayhim falanaʹtiyannahum̃ bijunoodil laa q̣ibala lahum̃ bihaa wa-lanukhrijannahum minhaaa ʹaẓillatañw Wahum ṣaag̣iroon.

Go back to them, for we will certainly mobilize against them forces which they can never resist, and we will drive them out from there in disgrace, fully humbled.”

Verse 27:38

قَالَ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا اَیُّكُمْ یَاْتِیْنِیْ بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّاْتُوْنِیْ مُسْلِمِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala yaaaʹayyuhal malaʹu ʹayyukum yaʹteenee biʻarshihaa q̣abla ʹañy yaʹtoonee muslimeen?

Solomon asked, “O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in ˹full˺ submission?”

Verse 27:39

قَالَ عِفْرِیْتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ اَنَا اٰتِیْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ مِنْ مَّقَامِكَ ۚ وَاِنِّیْ عَلَیْهِ لَقَوِیٌّ اَمِیْنٌ ۟

Q̣aala ʻIfreetum minal jinni ʹana ʹaateeka bihee q̣abla ʹañ taq̣ooma mim maq̣aamik: wa-ʹinnee ʻalayhi laq̣awiyyun ʹameen.

One mighty jinn responded, “I can bring it to you before you rise from this council of yours. And I am quite strong and trustworthy for this ˹task˺.”

Verse 27:40

قَالَ الَّذِیْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ اَنَا اٰتِیْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّرْتَدَّ اِلَیْكَ طَرْفُكَ ؕ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّیْ ۖ۫ لِیَبْلُوَنِیْۤ ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُ ؕ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا یَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّیْ غَنِیٌّ كَرِیْمٌ ۟

Q̣aalal laẓee ʻiñdahoo ʻilmum minal Kitaabi ʹana ʹaateeka bihee q̣abla ʹañy yartadda ʹilayka ṭarfuk! Falammaa raʹaahu mustaq̣irran ʻiñdahoo q̣aala haaẓaa miñ faḍli Rabbee liyabluwaneee ʹaʹashkuru ʹam ʹakfur! Wa-mañ shakara faʹinnamaa yashkuru linafsih; wa-mañ kafara faʹinna Rabbee G̣aniyyuñ Kareem!...

But the one who had knowledge of the Scripture said, “I can bring it to you in the blink of an eye.” So when Solomon saw it placed before him, he exclaimed, “This is by the grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. But whoever is ungrateful, surely my Lord is Self-Sufficient, Most Generous.”

Verse 27:41

قَالَ نَكِّرُوْا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنْظُرْ اَتَهْتَدِیْۤ اَمْ تَكُوْنُ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَهْتَدُوْنَ ۟

Q̣aala nakkiroo lahaa ʻarshahaa nañz̤̣ur ʹatahtadeee ʹam takoonu minal laẓeena laa- yahtadoon.

˹Then˺ Solomon said, “Disguise her throne for her so we may see whether she will recognize ˹it˺ or she will not be able to.”

Verse 27:42

فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِیْلَ اَهٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِ ؕ قَالَتْ كَاَنَّهٗ هُوَ ۚ وَاُوْتِیْنَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِیْنَ ۟

Falammaa jaaaʹat q̣eela ʹahaakaẓaa ʻarshuk? Q̣aalat kaʹannahoo hoo; wa-ʹooteenal ʻilma miñ q̣ablihaa wa-kunnaa Muslimeen.

So when she arrived, it was said ˹to her˺, “Is your throne like this?” She replied, “It looks to be the same. We have ˹already˺ received knowledge ˹of Solomon’s prophethood˺ before this ˹miracle˺, and have submitted ˹to Allah˺.”

Verse 27:43

وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَتْ تَّعْبُدُ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Waṣaddahaa maa- kaanat taʻbudu miñ doonil laah: ʹinnahaa kaanat miñ q̣awmiñ kaafireen.

Then she was told, “Enter the palace.” But when she saw the hall, she thought it was a body of water, so she bared her legs.

Now I ˹fully˺ submit myself along with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.”

Verse 27:45

Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down rain for you from the sky, by which We cause delightful gardens to grow? You could never cause their trees to grow. Was it another god besides Allah?” Absolutely not! But they are a people who set up equals ˹to Allah˺!

اَمَّنْ جَعَلَ الْاَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَّجَعَلَ خِلٰلَهَاۤ اَنْهٰرًا وَّجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِیَ وَجَعَلَ بَیْنَ الْبَحْرَیْنِ حَاجِزًا ؕ ءَاِلٰهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ ؕ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Balid daaraka ʻilmuhum fil ʹAakhirah: bal hum fee shakkim minhaa; bal hum minhaa ʻamoon!
