034-001* Praise be to God, Who holds whatever is in Heaven and whatever is on Earth! Praise will be His in the Hereafter; he is the Wise, the Informed. God's Knowledge
Ya`lamu Mā Yaliju Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Mā Yakhruju Minhā Wa Mā Yanzilu Mina As-Samā'i Wa Mā Ya`ruju Fīhā ۚ Wa Huwa Ar-Raĥīmu Al-Ghafūru
034-002* He knows what penetrates the earth and what issues from it, and what falls down from the sky and what soars up into it. He is the Merciful, the Forgiving.
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lā Ta'tīnā As-Sā`atu ۖ Qul Balá Wa Rabbī Lata'tiyannakum `Ālimi Al-Ghaybi ۖ Lā Ya`zubu `Anhu Mithqālu Dharratin Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Lā Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Lā 'Aşgharu MinDhālika Wa Lā 'Akbaru 'Illā Fī Kitābin Mubīnin
034-003* Those who disbelieve say: "The Hour will not come upon us!" SAY: "Of course, by my Lord, it will come to you through the Knower of the Unseen." No atom's weight in either Heaven nor on Earth nor anything less than that nor larger ever escapes Him, unless it is in a clear Book,
Wa Yará Al-Ladhīna 'Ūtū Al-`Ilma Al-Ladhī 'Unzila 'Ilayka MinRabbika Huwa Al-Ĥaqqa Wa Yahdī 'Ilá Şirāţi Al-`Azīzi Al-Ĥamīdi
034-006* Those who have been given knowledge see that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the Truth, and guides [us] along the Road to the Powerful, the Praiseworthy;
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Hal Nadullukum `Alá Rajulin Yunabbi'ukum 'Idhā Muzziqtum Kulla Mumazzaqin 'Innakum Lafī Khalqin Jadīdin
034-007* while those who disbelieve say: "Shall we introduce you to a man who will notify you, once you have been utterly torn to pieces, that you will [reappear] in some fresh creation?
'Āftará `Alá Al-Lahi Kadhibāan 'Am Bihi Jinnatun ۗ Bali Al-Ladhīna Lā Yu'uminūna Bil-'Ākhirati Fī Al-`Adhābi Wa Ađ-Đalāli Al-Ba`īdi
034-008* Has he invented a lie about God or has he some sprite within him?" Rather the ones who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in torment and extreme error.
'Afalam Yaraw 'Ilá Mā Bayna 'Aydīhim Wa Mā Khalfahum Mina As-Samā'i Wa Al-'Arđi ۚ 'In Nasha' Nakhsif Bihimu Al-'Arđa 'Aw Nusqiţ `Alayhim Kisafāan Mina As-Samā'i ۚ 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Likulli `Abdin Munībin
034-009* Have they not considered whatever lies before them from the sky and earth, and what is behind them? If We wished, We would let the earth swallow them up or a patch of sky drop down on them. In that is a sign for every penitent servant. David (II)
Wa Lisulaymāna Ar-Rīĥa Ghudūwuhā Shahrun Wa Rawāĥuhā Shahrun ۖ Wa 'Asalnā Lahu `Ayna Al-Qiţri ۖ Wa Mina Al-Jinni Man Ya`malu Bayna Yadayhi Bi'idhni Rabbihi ۖ Wa Man Yazigh Minhum `An 'Amrinā Nudhiqhu Min `Adhābi As-Sa`īri
034-012* Solomon possessed the wind; it would blow for a month in one direction and then blow back for [another] month. We melted down a font of brass for him. There were some sprites who worked in front of him by his Lord's permission, and We let any of them who wavered from Our command taste torment from the Blaze.
Ya`malūna Lahu Mā Yashā'u Min Maĥārība Wa Tamāthīla Wa Jifānin Kāljawābi Wa QudūrinRāsiyātin ۚ A`malū 'Āla Dāwūda Shukrāan ۚ Wa Qalīlun Min `Ibādiya Ash-Shakūru
034-013* They worked away for him just as he wished on shrines and images, bowls as big as troughs and built-in cauldrons: "Give thanks, 0 House of David!" Yet few of My servants are grateful.
034-014* When We determined he should die, nothing indicated his death to them except a worm from the earth which was eating away at his cane. When he fell down, the sprites realized clearly that if they had known the Unseen, they would not have had to continue in such humiliating torment. Sheba Itself
Laqad Kāna Lisaba'iin Fī Maskanihim 'Āyatun ۖ Jannatāni `An Yamīnin Wa Shimālin ۖ Kulū MinRizqi Rabbikum Wa Ashkurū Lahu ۚ BaldatunŢayyibatun Wa Rabbun Ghafūrun
034-015* There had been a sign for Sheba in their dwelling: two gardens, to the right and left: "Eat some of your Lord's provision and thank Him. Such a good land and forgiving Lord!"
Fa'a`rađū Fa'arsalnā `Alayhim Sayla Al-`Arimi Wa Baddalnāhum Bijannatayhim Jannatayni Dhawātá 'Ukulin Khamţin Wa 'Athlin Wa Shay'in Min SidrinQalīlin
034-016* They spurned [it], so We sent a torrent from the dam upon them, and We changed both their gardens for them into two gardens yielding bitter food, tamarisk and a very few hawthorns.
Wa Ja`alnā Baynahum Wa Bayna Al-Qurá Allatī Bāraknā Fīhā QuráanŽāhiratan Wa Qaddarnā Fīhā As-Sayra ۖ Sīrū Fīhā Layāliya Wa 'Ayyāmāan 'Āminīna
034-018* We placed towns in plain view between them and the towns which We had blessed, and We measured out travel between them: "Travel safely between them by night and day."
034-019* They said: "Our Lord, lengthen the distance between our stops!" They wronged themselves so We turned them into legends; We scattered them into every [possible] fragment. In that are signs for every patient, grateful person.
Wa Mā Kāna Lahu `Alayhim Min Sulţānin 'Illā Lina`lama Man Yu'uminu Bil-'Ākhirati Mimman Huwa Minhā Fī Shakkin ۗ Wa Rabbuka `Alá Kulli Shay'in Ĥafīžun
034-021* Yet he held no authority over them, except so We might distinguish someone who believes in the Hereafter from someone who is in any uncertainty about it. Your Lord acts as an Overseer for everything. Intercession is Useless (III)
Qul Ad`ū Al-Ladhīna Za`amtum Min Dūni Al-Lahi ۖ Lā Yamlikūna Mithqāla Dharratin Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Lā Fī Al-'Arđi Wa Mā Lahum Fīhimā MinShirkin Wa Mā Lahu Minhum MinŽahīrin
034-022* SAY: "Appeal to those whom you claim to instead of to God; they do not control even an atom's weight in either Heaven nor on Earth." They have no share in either, nor has He any backer among them.
Wa Lā Tanfa`u Ash-Shafā`atu `Indahu 'Illā Liman 'Adhina Lahu ۚ Ĥattá 'Idhā Fuzzi`a `AnQulūbihimQālū Mādhā Qāla Rabbukum ۖ Qālū Al-Ĥaqqa ۖ Wa Huwa Al-`Alīyu Al-Kabīru
034-023* Intercession does not benefit anyone so far as He is concerned except for someone He grants it to, until when [panic] is driven from their hearts, they say: "What did your Lord say?" They will say: "The Truth!" He is the Sublime, the Great! Individual Responsibility
Qul Yajma`u Baynanā Rabbunā Thumma Yaftaĥu Baynanā Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Huwa Al-Fattāĥu Al-`Alīmu
034-026* SAY: "Our Lord will gather us in together; then things will be opened up in all Truth for us. He is the Opener, the Aware." The Universal Message
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lan Nu'umina Bihadhā Al-Qur'āni Wa Lā Bial-Ladhī Bayna Yadayhi ۗ Wa Law Tará 'Idhi Až-Žālimūna Mawqūfūna `Inda Rabbihim Yarji`u Ba`đuhum 'Ilá Ba`đin Al-Qawla Yaqūlu Al-Ladhīna Astuđ`ifū Lilladhīna Astakbarū Lawlā 'Antum Lakunnā Mu'uminīna
034-031* Those who disbelieve say: "We'll never believe in this Reading nor in the one which (came] before it." If you could only see how, when wrongdoers are stationed before their Lord, they will toss the statement back and forth at one another. Those who had been despised as weaklings will tell those who acted overbearing: "If it were not for you, we'd be believers."
034-032* Those who were overbearing will tell those who acted like weaklings: "Did we block you off from guidance once it came to you? Rather you yourselves were guilty!"
Wa Qāla Al-Ladhīna Astuđ`ifū Lilladhīna Astakbarū Bal Makru Al-Layli Wa An-Nahāri 'Idh Ta'murūnanā 'An Nakfura Bil-Lahi Wa Naj`ala Lahu 'Andādāan ۚ Wa 'Asarrū An-Nadāmata Lammā Ra'aw Al-`Adhāba Wa Ja`alnā Al-'Aghlāla Fī 'A`nāqi Al-Ladhīna Kafarū ۚ Hal Yujzawna 'Illā Mā Kānū Ya`malūna
034-033* Those who had been despised will tell those who were overbearing: "Rather there was plotting night and day when you ordered us to disbelieve in God and we set up rivals to him." They will conceal their regret once they see the torment; We will place fetters around the necks of those who disbelieve. Will they not be rewarded for just what they have been doing?
Wa Mā 'Amwālukum Wa Lā 'Awlādukum Bi-Atī Tuqarribukum `Indanā Zulfá 'Illā Man 'Āmana Wa `Amila Şāliĥāan Fa'ūlā'ika Lahum Jazā'u Ađ-Đi`fi Bimā `Amilū Wa Hum Fī Al-Ghurufāti 'Āminūna
034-037* It is not your wealth nor your children that will bring you close to Us in patronage; only someone who believes and acts honorably (will do so). Those will have a double reward because of what they have done. They will feel secure in mansions
Qul 'Inna Rabbī Yabsuţu Ar-Rizqa Liman Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi Wa Yaqdiru Lahu ۚ Wa Mā 'Anfaqtum MinShay'in Fahuwa Yukhlifuhu ۖ Wa Huwa Khayru Ar-Rāziqīna
034-039* SAY: "My Lord extends sustenance to anyone He wishes among His servants and He budgets it out. He will compensate you for anything you have spent since He is the best Provider."
Qālū Subĥānaka 'Anta Walīyunā Min Dūnihim ۖ Bal Kānū Ya`budūna Al-Jinna ۖ 'Aktharuhum Bihim Mu'uminūna
034-041* They will say: "Glory be to You! You are our Patron rather than they. Instead they have been worshipping sprites; most of them even believe in them!" Ancestor Worship is Wrong
Fālyawma Lā Yamliku Ba`đukum Liba`đin Naf`āan Wa Lā Đarrāan Wa Naqūlu Lilladhīna Žalamū Dhūqū `Adhāba An-Nāri Allatī Kuntum Bihā Tukadhdhibūn
034-042* Some day when some of them will not control any advantage nor harm for others, We will tell those who have done wrong: "Taste the torment of Fire which you have been denying!"
034-043* When Our clear verses are recited to them, they will say: "This is only a man who wants to discourage you from [worshipping] what your forefathers have been worshipping." They will say: "This is only some invented sham." Those who disbelieve will say about Truth, once it comes to them: "This is nothing but sheer magic!"
Wa Kadhdhaba Al-Ladhīna MinQablihim Wa Mā Balaghū Mi`shāra Mā 'Ātaynāhum Fakadhdhabū Rusulī ۖ Fakayfa Kāna Nakīri
034-045* Those who [lived] before them denied it and did not achieve a tenth of what We gave them. They even rejected My messengers, so [imagine] how [real] was My disgust! (VI)
Qul 'Innamā 'A`ižukum Biwāĥidatin ۖ 'An Taqūmū Lillahi Mathná Wa Furādá Thumma Tatafakkarū ۚ Mā Bişāĥibikum Min Jinnatin ۚ 'In Huwa 'Illā Nadhīrun Lakum Bayna Yaday `AdhābinShadīdin
034-046* SAY: "I preach only one thing to you: that you stand up in pairs or singly for God; then consider how there is no madness in your companion. He is only a warner [sent] to you in the face of stern torment."
034-050* SAY: "If I have strayed, I have only led myself astray; while if I have been guided, then it is because of what my Lord has inspired in me. He is Alert, so Near!" The Pursuit of Faith
Wa Ĥīla Baynahum Wa Bayna Mā Yashtahūna Kamā Fu`ila Bi'ashyā`ihim MinQablu ۚ 'Innahum Kānū Fī Shakkin Murībin
034-054* Something will intervene between them and whatever they crave to have, just as was done with their [different] sects long before. They have [lived] in such suspicious doubt!
