ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٣﴾
27:3 Those who establish regular prayers And give in regular charity, And also have (full) assurance Of the Hereafter.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ﴿٤﴾
27:4 As to those who believe not In the Hereafter, We have Made their deeds pleasing In their eyes; and so they Wander about in distraction.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ ﴿٥﴾

إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهْلِهِۦٓ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ ﴿٧﴾
27:7 Behold! Moses said To his family "I perceive A fire; soon will I bring you From there some information, Or I will bring you A burning brand to light Our fuel, that ye may Warm yourselves.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِىَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٨﴾
27:8 But when he came To the (Fire), a voice Was heard: "Blessed are those In the Fire and those around: And Glory to God, The Lord of the Worlds.
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿٩﴾
27:9 "O Moses! Verily, I am God, the Exalted In Might, the Wise!...
وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّى لَا يَخَافُ لَدَىَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿١٠﴾
27:10 "Now do thou throw thy rod!" But when he saw it Moving (of its own accord) As if it had been a snake, He turned back in retreat, And retraced not his steps: "O Moses!" (it was said), "Fear not: truly, in My presence, Those called as apostles Have no fear,—
إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًۢا بَعْدَ سُوٓءٍ فَإِنِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿١١﴾
27:11 "But if any have done wrong And have thereafter substituted Good to take the place of evil, Truly, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ۖ فِى تِسْعِ ءَايَـٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ ﴿١٢﴾
27:12 "Now put thy hand into Thy bosom, and it will Come forth white without stain (Or harm): (these are) among The nine Signs (thou wilt take) To Pharaoh and his people: For they are a people Rebellious in transgression."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿١٣﴾
27:13 But when Our Signs came To them, that should have Opened their eyes, they said: "This is sorcery manifest!"
وَجَحَدُوا۟ بِهَا وَٱسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿١٤﴾
27:14 And they rejected those Signs In iniquity and arrogance, Though their souls were convinced Thereof: so see what was The end of those Who acted corruptly!
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَـٰنَ عِلْمًا ۖ وَقَالَا ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٥﴾
27:15 We gave (in the past) Knowledge to David and Solomon And they both said: "Praise be to God, Who Has favoured us above many Of His servants who believe!
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ دَاوُۥدَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١٦﴾
27:16 And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! We have been taught the speech" Of Birds, and on us Has been bestowed (a little) Of all things: this is Indeed Grace manifest (from God.)"
وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ جُنُودُهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ ﴿١٧﴾
27:17 And before Solomon were marshalled His hosts,—of Jinns and men And birds, and they were all Kept in order and ranks.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَـٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿١٨﴾
27:18 At length, when they came To a (lowly) valley of ants, One of the ants said: "O ye ants, get into Your habitations, lest Solomon And his hosts crush you (Under foot) without knowing it."
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ﴿١٩﴾
27:19 So he smiled, amused At her speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me That I may be grateful For Thy favours, which Thou Hast bestowed on me and On my parents, and that I may work the righteousness That will please Thee: And admit me, by Thy Grace, To the ranks of Thy Righteous Servants."
وَتَفَقَّدَ ٱلطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِىَ لَآ أَرَى ٱلْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَآئِبِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾
27:20 And he took a muster Of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not The Hoopoe? Or is he Among the absentees?"
لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّى بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٢١﴾
27:21 "I will certainly punish him With a severe penalty, Or execute him, unless he Bring me a clear reason (For absence)."
فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍۭ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ ﴿٢٢﴾
27:22 But the Hoopoe tarried not Far: he (came up and) said: "I have compassed (territory) Which thou hast not compassed, And I have come to thee From Saba with tidings true.
إِنِّى وَجَدتُّ ٱمْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٢٣﴾
27:23 "I found (there) a woman Ruling over them and provided With every requisite; and she Has a magnificent throne.
وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿٢٤﴾
27:24 "I found her and her people Worshipping the sun besides God: Satan has made their deeds Seem pleasing in their eyes, And has kept them away From the Path,—so They receive no guidance,—
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى يُخْرِجُ ٱلْخَبْءَ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
27:25 "(Kept them away from the Path), That they should not worship God, Who brings to light What is hidden in the heavens And the earth, and knows What ye hide and what Ye reveal.
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۩ ﴿٢٦﴾
27:26 "God!—there is no god But He!—Lord of the Throne Supreme!"
۞ قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾
27:27 (Solomon) said: "Soon shall we See whether thou hast told The truth or lied!
ٱذْهَب بِّكِتَـٰبِى هَـٰذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٢٨﴾
27:28 "Go thou, with this letter Of mine, and deliver it To them: then draw back From them, and (wait to) see What answer they return"...
قَالَتْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ إِنِّىٓ أُلْقِىَ إِلَىَّ كِتَـٰبٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿٢٩﴾
27:29 (The Queen) said: "Ye chiefs! Here is—delivered to me— A letter worthy of respect.
إِنَّهُۥ مِن سُلَيْمَـٰنَ وَإِنَّهُۥ بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴿٣٠﴾
27:30 "It is from Solomon, and is (As follows), 'In the name Of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful:
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَىَّ وَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣١﴾
27:31 "'Be ye not arrogant Against me, but come To me in submission (To the true Religion).'"
قَالَتْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَفْتُونِى فِىٓ أَمْرِى مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْرًا حَتَّىٰ تَشْهَدُونِ ﴿٣٢﴾
27:32 She said: "Ye chiefs! Advise me in (this) My affair: no affair Have I decided Except in your presence."
قَالُوا۟ نَحْنُ أُو۟لُوا۟ قُوَّةٍ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَٱلْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَٱنظُرِى مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ ﴿٣٣﴾
27:33 They said: "We are endued With strength, and given To vehement war: But the command is With thee; so consider What thou wilt command."
قَالَتْ إِنَّ ٱلْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا۟ قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوٓا۟ أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَآ أَذِلَّةً ۖ وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٣٤﴾
27:34 She said: "Kings, when they Enter a country, despoil it, And make the noblest Of its people its meanest Thus do they behave.
وَإِنِّى مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌۢ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾
27:35 "But I am going to send Him a present, and (wait) To see with what (answer) Return (my) ambassadors."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَآ ءَاتَىٰنِۦَ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّآ ءَاتَىٰكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾
27:36 Now when (the embassy) came To Solomon, he said: "Will ye give me abundance In wealth? But that which God has given me is better Than that which He has Given you! Nay it is ye Who rejoice in your gift!
ٱرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنُودٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُم مِّنْهَآ أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾
27:37 "Go back to them, and be sure We shall come to them With such hosts as they Will never be able to meet: We shall expel them From there in disgrace, And they will feel Humbled (indeed)."
قَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِى بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٣٨﴾
27:38 He said (to his own men): "Ye Chiefs! which of you Can bring me her throne Before they come to me In submission?"
قَالَ عِفْرِيتٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ ۖ وَإِنِّى عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِىٌّ أَمِينٌ ﴿٣٩﴾
27:39 Said an ‘Ifrit, of the Jinns: "I will bring it to thee Before thou rise from thy Council: indeed I have Full strength for the purpose, And may be trusted."
قَالَ ٱلَّذِى عِندَهُۥ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِندَهُۥ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّى لِيَبْلُوَنِىٓ ءَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ ۖ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّى غَنِىٌّ كَرِيمٌ ﴿٤٠﴾
27:40 Said one who had knowledge Of the Book: "I will Bring it to thee within The twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it Placed firmly before him, He said: "This is By the grace of my Lord! To test me whether I am Grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, Truly his gratitude is (a gain) For his own soul; but if Any is ungrateful, truly My Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!"
قَالَ نَكِّرُوا۟ لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِىٓ أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿٤١﴾
27:41 He said: "Transform her throne Out of all recognition by her: Let us see whether she Is guided (to the truth) Or is one of those who Receive no guidance."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِيلَ أَهَـٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِ ۖ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ ۚ وَأُوتِينَا ٱلْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٤٢﴾
27:42 So when she arrived, She was asked, "Is this Thy throne?" She said, "It was just like this; And knowledge was bestowed On us in advance of this, And we have submitted To God (in Islam)."
وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن قَوْمٍ كَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿٤٣﴾
27:43 And he diverted her From the worship of others Besides God: for she was (Sprung) of a people That had no faith.
قِيلَ لَهَا ٱدْخُلِى ٱلصَّرْحَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن قَوَارِيرَ ۗ قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾
27:44 She was asked to enter The lofty Palace: but When she saw it, she Thought it was a lake Of water, and she (tucked up Her skirts), uncovering her legs. He said: "This is But a palace paved Smooth with slabs of glass." She said: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged" My soul: I do (now) Submit (in Islam), with Solomon, To the Lord of the Worlds."
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ﴿٤٥﴾
27:45 We sent (aforetime), To the Thamūd, their brother Ṣaliḥ, saying, "Serve God": But behold, they became Two factions quarrelling With each other.
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾
27:46 He said: "O my people! Why ask ye to hasten on The evil in preference to the good? If only ye ask God for forgiveness, Ye may hope to receive mercy.
قَالُوا۟ ٱطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ ۚ قَالَ طَـٰٓئِرُكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
27:47 They said: "Ill omen Do we augur from thee And those that are with thee". He said: "Your ill omen Is with God; yea, ye are A people under trial."
وَكَانَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾
27:48 There were in the City Nine men of a family, Who made mischief in the land, And would not reform.
قَالُوا۟ تَقَاسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُۥ وَأَهْلَهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِۦ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾
27:49 They said: "Swear A mutual oath by God That we shall make A secret night attack On him and his people, And that we shall then Say to his heir (when he Seeks vengeance), 'We were not Present at the slaughter Of his people, and we are Positively telling the truth'."
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾
27:50 They plotted and planned, But We too planned, Even while they perceived it not.
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَـٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿٥١﴾
27:51 Then see what was the end Of their plot!—this, That We destroyed them And their people, all (of them).
فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةًۢ بِمَا ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٥٢﴾
27:52 Now such were their houses,— In utter ruin,—because They practised wrong-doing. Verily in this is a Sign For people of knowledge.
وَأَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ ﴿٥٣﴾
27:53 And We saved those Who believed and practised Righteousness.
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ ﴿٥٤﴾
27:54 (We also sent) Lūt (As an apostle): behold, He said to his people, "Do ye do what is shameful Though ye see (its iniquity)?
أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ ﴿٥٥﴾
27:55 Would ye really approach men In your lusts rather than Women? Nay, ye are A people (grossly) ignorant!
۞ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوٓا۟ ءَالَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ ﴿٥٦﴾
27:56 But his people gave No other answer but this: They said, "Drive out The followers of Lūt from Your city: these are Indeed men who want To be clean and pure!"
فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَـٰهَا مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ﴿٥٧﴾
27:57 But We saved him And his family, except His wife: her We destined To be of those Who lagged behind.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا ۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ ﴿٥٨﴾
27:58 And We rained down on them A shower (of brimstone): And evil was the shower On those who were admonished (But heeded not)!
قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ۗ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٥٩﴾
27:59 Say: Praise be to God, And Peace on His servants Whom He has chosen (For His Message). (Who) Is better?—God or The false gods they associate (With Him)?
أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ حَدَآئِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنۢبِتُوا۟ شَجَرَهَآ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ ﴿٦٠﴾
27:60 Or, who has created The heavens and the earth, And who sends you down Rain from the sky?

27:87 And the Day that the Trumpet Will be sounded—then will be Smitten with terror those Who are in the heavens, And those who are on earth, Except such as God will please (To exempt): and all shall come To His (Presence) as beings Conscious of their lowliness.
وَتَرَى ٱلْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِىَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِ ۚ صُنْعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٨٨﴾
27:88 Thou seest the mountains And thinkest them firmly fixed: But they shall pass away As the clouds pass away: (Such is) the artistry of God, Who disposes of all things In perfect order: for He is Well acquainted with all that ye do.
مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ ءَامِنُونَ ﴿٨٩﴾
27:89 If any do good, good will (Accrue) to them therefrom; And they will be secure From terror that Day.

27:90 And if any do evil, Their faces will be thrown Headlong into the Fire: "Do ye receive a reward Other than that which ye Have earned by your deeds?"
إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْبَلْدَةِ ٱلَّذِى حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُۥ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ ۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿٩١﴾
27:91 For me, I have been Commanded to serve the Lord Of this City, Him Who has Sanctified it and to Whom (Belong) all things: And I am commanded To be of those who bow In Islam to God's Will,—
وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ ﴿٩٢﴾
27:92 And to rehearse the Qur-ān: And if any accept guidance, They do it for the good Of their own souls, And if any stray, say: "I am only a Warner".

27:93 And say: "Praise be to God, Who will soon show you His Signs, so that ye Shall know them"; and thy Lord Is not unmindful Of all that ye do.
