Ta [Healing Qur'an], Seen [Abrogated Books]. These are the verses of the Qur'an and an obvious Book,
[A book of] guidance and good tidings for the believers
Who establish the prayer and give the zakah, and they in the hereafter, they believe with certainty.
Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We made pleasing for them their works, so they wander blindly [in Abrogated books, Qur'an 27:1].
Those are the ones who for them will be the evil torment, and they in the Hereafter they would be the losers.
And indeed [O Muhammad], you are receiving the Qur'an from one who is Welcoming, All-Wise, All-Knowing.
[Mention] when Moses said to his family, "Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information [about my lost staff] or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves."
So when he came to it, he was called that, "Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And glorified is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
O Moses, indeed it is I - Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise."
And [he was told], "Throw down your staff [as it was a snake camouflaging as your lost staff]." But when he saw it slithering as because it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], "O Moses, fear not. Indeed, I -[Allah]- scare in My hosting none of the messengers,
Except he who did mistake [Qur'an 28:16-19], then substituted good after bad. So certainly I am Forgiving, Merciful.
And place your hand into your bosom; it [slathered with light emitting gels, germs from the camouflaged snake] will come out white without causing any disease. [These are] within the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient."
So when there came to them Our signs, visible [in nature], they said, "This is an obvious magic."
And they rejected in those, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the wicked ones [Qur'an 27:4, wondering blindly magic everywhere except nature].
And We already gave David and Solomon knowledge [of nature, Qur'an 17:44] and they said, "Praise be to Allah, who has favored us over many of His believing slaves."
And Solomon inherited David. He said, "O people, we were taught the speech of birds, and we have been given from every thing. Indeed, this [knowledge], it is indeed the obvious bounty."
And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers from the jinn and men and birds, and they were in rows.
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O the ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they do not sense."
So [Solomon] smiled, amused from her speech, and said, "My Lord, train me all that you approve that I may duly thank you for Your favor which You bestowed upon me and upon my parents and that I may duly work righteous. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous slaves."
And he took attendance of the birds and said, "What happened to me? I am not seeing the hoopoe? Or is he from the absentees?
I will surely punish him with a severe torment or I will slaughter him or he should bring me with an obvious authority."
So [the hoopoe] did not tarry long and said, "I have encompassed [in knowledge] about what you have not encompassed therein, and I have come to you from Sheba with certain news.
Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she was given of every thing including a great throne for her.
I found her and her people prostrating to the sun, other than Allah, and Satan sugar-coated their deeds for them and averted them from the pathway, so they are not guided,
So they do not prostrate to Allah, who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows what you [people] conceal and what you declare -
Allah - there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne."
[Solomon] said, "We will see whether you [O Hoopoe] spoke truly or were of the liars.
Go with this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then turn away from them and see what [answer] they return."
She said, "O chief leaders, indeed, I -[the Queen of Sheba]-, was thrown to me, a noble letter.
Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads: `In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
So do not be haughty on me, but come to me in submission [to Allah].' "
She said, "O chief leaders, advise me in my affair. I would not be deciding a matter until you witness with me."
They said, "We are possessors of strength and possessors of severe military might, but the command is upto you, so see what you will command."
She said, "Indeed kings - if they enter a city, they ruin it and make the honored of its people humiliated. And thus do they act.
But indeed, I will send to them a gift and see with what [reply] the messengers return."
So [Queen's messengers] came to Solomon, he said, "Do you [men] provide me with wealth? Then what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. No but is there! You rejoice in your gift.
Return to them, for we will surely come to them with soldiers, no resistance for them exists therein, and we will surely drive them out therefrom as helpless while they will be humiliated."
[Solomon] said, "O chief leaders [of jinn], which of you will bring me with her throne before that [step Qur'an 27:37] so they should come to me in submission [without that]?"
A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before that [step Qur'an 27:37]. You [just] rise from your seat, and indeed, [as demoed] I am for this, strong and trustworthy."
Said one who had knowledge of the Letter, "I will bring it to you before that [demo, Qur'an 27:39], your glance just returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favour of my Lord to test me whether I will be thankful or infidel. And whoever thanks - he thanks only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever disbelieves - then indeed, my Lord is Rich, Generous."
He said, "Disguise for her, her throne; we will see whether she guides [herself] or will be of those who never guides."
So when she arrived, it was said [to her], "Is your throne like this?" She said, "As if this is it." [Solomon said], "And we were given the knowledge before her, and had submitted [as Muslims].
And whatever she was worshipping other than Allah had averted her. Indeed, she was from a disbelieving people."
It was said to her, "Enter the palace." But when she saw it, she considered it as a pool [of water] and she uncovered from her shins. He said, "Indeed, it is a palace paved with tiles of glass." She said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, Lord of the worlds."
And We had certainly sent to Thamud their brother Salih [to say] that, "Worship Allah," but then they became two parties disputing.
He said, "O my people, why are you hastening with the evil deed before the good deed? Why are you not seeking forgiveness of Allah that you may receive mercy?"
They said, "Our scroll is with you, you and with whoever is with you." He said, "Your scroll is with Allah. No but is there. You are a people being tested [by your evil]."
And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not reforming.
They said, "Let us swear by Allah that we will surely kill him [Saleh] by night, he and his family. Then we will say to his guardian, `We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful ones.' "
And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while they did not sense.
Then see how was the outcome of their plan. Surely We destroyed them and their people, altogether.
So those are their houses, vacant, ruined about what they had plotted [in effect -Qur'an 27:50]. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know.
And We saved those who believed and were fearing [ Allah ].
And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit the immorality while you are seeing?
Can you indeed, surely approach men with lust rather than women? No but is there! You people are ignoring [your true lust]."
So the answer of his people was not except that they said, "Drive out the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure [in true lust]."
So We saved him and all his family, except his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind.
And We rained upon them a rain [of brimstones], and the rain was evil on the forewarned ones.
Say, [O Muhammad], "Praise be to Allah, and peace upon His slaves whom He has selected." [Ask them], "Is Allah better or what they associate [with Him]?"
Or [ask them], "Who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you from the heaven [outer space] water. So, by it We cause to grow beautiful gardens?" It was not for you to grow its trees. What? A god with Allah? No but is there! they are a people who ascribe equals [to Allah].
Or [ask them], "Who made the earth a firm adobe and set up through it rivers and made for it firm mountains and set up between the two seas a barrier?" What? A god with Allah? No but is there! most of them are not knowing.
Or [ask them], "Who answers the desperate one when he calls Him and He removes the evil and makes you inheritors of the earth?" What? A god with Allah? Little do you remember!
Or [ask them], "Who guides you through the darknesses of the land and the sea and who sends the winds as good tidings between His merciful hands?" What? A god with Allah? High is Allah above whatever they may associate [with Him].
Or [ask them], "Who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth?" What? A god with Allah? Say, "Bring your proof, if you are truthful. "
Say, "Whoever is in the heavens and the earth does not know the unseen except Allah, and they do not know when they will be raised [again].
No but is there [Qur'an 27:65]. Their knowledge reached its limits of ignorance concerning the Hereafter. No but is there. They are in suspicion of it. No but is there. They are, completely blind from it."
And those who disbelieved said, "Is it when we became dust as well as our forefathers, will we indeed be driven out [from the dust]?
We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before. Left is nothing, this to be except legends of the former peoples."
Say [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of the criminals."
And grieve not [O Muhammad] over them or be in distress for what they conspire [Qur'an 27:68].
And they say, "When is this promise [the day of Judgment], if you are truthful?"
Say, "Perhaps some of which you [mockers] seek to hasten is following behind towards you."
And indeed, bountiful greeting of your Lord's, [O Muhammad], is ever upon the mankind, but most of them are not thankful.
And indeed, your Lord knows what conceals their breast and what they declare.
And in the unseen of the heaven and the earth there is none except that it is in an obvious book.
Indeed, this [feature, Qur'an 27:73-75] the Qur'an relates upon the Children of Israel most of what they differ therein.
And indeed, it is guidance and mercy for the believers.
Indeed, your Lord [O Muhammad] will judge between them by His Wisdom [i.e., revealed Qur'an, Qur'an 36:2, Qur'an 27:76]. And He is the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
So rely upon Allah; indeed, you [O Muhammad] are upon the obvious truth.
Indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call if they turned away pulling back.
And you [O Muhammad] cannot guide the blind out of their error. Left is none You can make hear except those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims.
And when the saying [Qur'an 27:71-72] come to pass against them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [about] if the mankind were in Our verses, not certain.
And [warn of] a Day when We will gather from every nation a party of those who belie about Our verses, and they will be set in row in the order of ranks
Until, when they come [to the point in time], [Allah] will say, "Did you belie about My verses while you encompassed them not in knowledge, or what you were working?"
And the saying [Qur'an 27:71-72] will pass through against them in what they oppressed [believers], so they will not be speaking.
Do they not see that We made the night so they may rest in it and the day they may see by? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth will be terrified except whom Allah wills. And everyone will come to Him humbled.
And you see the mountains, thinking them firmly fixed, but they pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who perfected every thing. Indeed, He is Acquainted about what you are working.
Whoever brings with a good deed, so for him is better than it, and they, from the terror of that Day, will be safe.
And whoever brings with an evil deed - their faces will be tossed in the Fire, [and it will be said], "Are you recompensed except for what you were working?"
[Say, O Muhammad], "I was only commanded to worship the Lord of this city, the one who sanctified it. And every thing is [slave] for Him and I was commanded to be of the submitting [slaves],
And to recite the Qur'an." And whoever is guided then he is guided only for [the benefit of] himself; and whoever strayed - So say, "I am only [one] of the warners."
And say, "Praise be to Allah. Soon He will show you [mankind] His signs, then you will recognize them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you are working."
