- Saba’ Ayah 1ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ١ All praise is for Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And praise be to Him in the Hereafter. He is the All-Wise, All-Aware.
- Saba’ Ayah 2يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٢ He knows whatever goes into the earth and whatever comes out of it, and whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends into it. And He is the Most Merciful, All-Forgiving.
- Saba’ Ayah 3وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَأْتِينَا ٱلسَّاعَةُۖ قُلْ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّى لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِۖ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَآ أَصْغَرُ مِن ذَٲلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْبَرُ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ ٣ The disbelievers say, “The Hour will never come to us.” Say, ?O Prophet,? “Yes—by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen—it will certainly come to you!” Not ?even? an atom’s weight is hidden from Him in the heavens or the earth; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ?written? in a perfect Record.
- Saba’ Ayah 4لِّيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ٤ So He may reward those who believe and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.
- Saba’ Ayah 5وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوْ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا مُعَـٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّن رِّجْزٍ أَلِيمٌ ٥ As for those who strive to discredit Our revelations, it is they who will suffer the ?worst? torment of agonizing pain.
- Saba’ Ayah 6وَيَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْعِلْمَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَيَهْدِىٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٲطِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ٦ Those gifted with knowledge ?clearly? see that what has been revealed to you from your Lord ?O Prophet? is the truth, and that it guides to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
- Saba’ Ayah 7وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلْ نَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ يُنَبِّئُكُمْ إِذَا مُزِّقْتُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ ٧ The disbelievers say ?mockingly to one another?, “Shall we show you a man who claims that when you have been utterly disintegrated you will be raised as a new creation?
- Saba’ Ayah 8أَفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِۦ جِنَّۗةُۢ بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ وَٱلضَّلَـٰلِ ٱلْبَعِيدِ ٨ Has he fabricated a lie against Allah or is he insane?” In fact, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are bound for torment and have strayed farthest ?from the truth?.
- Saba’ Ayah 9أَفَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَىٰ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ إِن نَّشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ ٩ Have they not then seen all that surrounds them of the heavens and the earth? If We willed, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause ?deadly? pieces of the sky to fall upon them. Surely in this is a sign for every servant who turns ?to Allah?.
- Saba’ Ayah 10۞ وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ مِنَّا فَضْلاًۖ يَـٰجِبَالُ أَوِّبِى مَعَهُۥ وَٱلطَّيْرَۖ وَأَلَنَّا لَهُ ٱلْحَدِيدَ ١٠ Indeed, We granted David a ?great? privilege from Us, ?commanding:? “O mountains! Echo his hymns! And the birds as well.” We made iron mouldable for him,
- Saba’ Ayah 11أَنِ ٱعْمَلْ سَـٰبِغَـٰتٍ وَقَدِّرْ فِى ٱلسَّرْدِۖ وَٱعْمَلُواْ صَـٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ١١ instructing: “Make full-length armour, ?perfectly? balancing the links. And work righteousness ?O family of David!?. Indeed, I am All-Seeing of what you do.”
- Saba’ Ayah 12وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌۖ وَأَسَلْنَا لَهُۥ عَيْنَ ٱلْقِطْرِۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ مَن يَعْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۖۦ وَمَن يَزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٢ And to Solomon ?We subjected? the wind: its morning stride was a month’s journey and so was its evening stride. And We caused a stream of molten copper to flow for him, and ?We subjected? some of the jinn to work under him by his Lord’s Will. And whoever of them deviated from Our command, We made them taste the torment of the blaze.
- Saba’ Ayah 13يَعْمَلُونَ لَهُۥ مَا يَشَآءُ مِن مَّحَـٰرِيبَ وَتَمَـٰثِيلَ وَجِفَانٍ كَٱلْجَوَابِ وَقُدُورٍ رَّاسِيَـٰتٍۚ ٱعْمَلُوٓاْ ءَالَ دَاوُۥدَ شُكْرًاۚ وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِىَ ٱلشَّكُورُ ١٣ They made for him whatever he desired of sanctuaries, statues, basins as large as reservoirs, and cooking pots fixed ?into the ground?. ?We ordered:? “Work gratefully, O family of David!” ?Only? a few of My servants are ?truly? grateful.
- Saba’ Ayah 14فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَوْتِهِۦٓ إِلَّا دَآبَّةُ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُۖۥ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ ٱلْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُواْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ ١٤ When We decreed Solomon’s death, nothing indicated to the ?subjected? jinn that he was dead except the termites eating away his staff. So when he collapsed, the jinn realized that if they had ?really? known the unseen, they would not have remained in ?such? humiliating servitude.
- Saba’ Ayah 15لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِى مَسْكَنِهِمْ ءَايَةٌۖ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍۖ كُلُواْ مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُواْ لَهُۚۥ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ ١٥ Indeed, there was a sign for ?the tribe of? Sheba in their homeland: two orchards—one to the right and the other to the left. ?They were told:? “Eat from the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him. ?Yours is? a good land and a forgiving Lord.”
- Saba’ Ayah 16فَأَعْرَضُواْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَـٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ ١٦ But they turned away. So We sent against them a devastating flood, and replaced their orchards with two others producing bitter fruit, fruitless bushes, and a few ?sparse? thorny trees.
- Saba’ Ayah 17ذَٲلِكَ جَزَيْنَـٰهُم بِمَا كَفَرُواْۖ وَهَلْ نُجَـٰزِىٓ إِلَّا ٱلْكَفُورَ ١٧ This is how We rewarded them for their ingratitude. Would We ever punish ?anyone in such a way? except the ungrateful?
- Saba’ Ayah 18وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْقُرَى ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَـٰهِرَةً وَقَدَّرْنَا فِيهَا ٱلسَّيْرَۖ سِيرُواْ فِيهَا لَيَالِىَ وَأَيَّامًا ءَامِنِينَ ١٨ We had also placed between them and the cities We showered with blessings ?many small? towns within sight of one another. And We set moderate travel distances in between, ?saying,? “Travel between them by day and night safely.”
- Saba’ Ayah 19فَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا بَـٰعِدْ بَيْنَ أَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَـٰهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ ١٩ But they said, “Our Lord! Make ?the distances of? our journeys longer,” wronging themselves. So We reduced them to ?cautionary? tales, and scattered them utterly. Surely in this are lessons for whoever is steadfast, grateful.
- Saba’ Ayah 20وَلَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُۥ فَٱتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٢٠ Indeed, Iblîs’ assumption about them has come true, so they ?all? follow him, except a group of ?true? believers.
- Saba’ Ayah 21وَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍ إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهَا فِى شَكٍّۗ وَرَبُّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌ ٢١ He does not have any authority over them, but ?Our Will is? only to distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those who are in doubt about it. And your Lord is a ?vigilant? Keeper over all things.”
- Saba’ Ayah 22قُلِ ٱدْعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرْكٍ وَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْهُم مِّن ظَهِيرٍ ٢٢ Say, ?O Prophet,? “Call upon those you claim ?to be divine? besides Allah. They do not possess ?even? an atom’s weight either in the heavens or the earth, nor do they have any share in ?governing? them. Nor is any of them a helper to Him.”
- Saba’ Ayah 23وَلَا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُۚۥ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُواْ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْۖ قَالُواْ ٱلْحَقَّۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٢٣ No intercession will be of any benefit with Him, except by those granted permission by Him. ?At last,? when the dread ?of Judgment Day? is relieved from their hearts ?because they are permitted to intercede?, they will ?excitedly? ask ?the angels?, “What has your Lord ?just? said?” The angels will reply, “The truth! And He is the Most High, All-Great.”
- Saba’ Ayah 24۞ قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ وَإِنَّآ أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى أَوْ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٢٤ Ask ?them, O Prophet?, “Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth?” Say, “Allah! Now, certainly one of our two groups is ?rightly? guided; the other is clearly astray.”
- Saba’ Ayah 25قُل لَّا تُسْــَٔلُونَ عَمَّآ أَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْــَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ٢٥ Say, “You will not be accountable for our misdeeds, nor will we be accountable for your deeds.”
- Saba’ Ayah 26قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُوَ ٱلْفَتَّاحُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٢٦ Say, “Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge between us with the truth. For He is the All-Knowing Judge.”
- Saba’ Ayah 27قُلْ أَرُونِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَلْحَقْتُم بِهِۦ شُرَكَآءَۖ كَلَّاۚ بَلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٢٧ Say, “Show me those ?idols? you have joined with Him as partners. No! In fact, He ?alone? is Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.”
- Saba’ Ayah 28وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ إِلَّا كَآفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢٨ We have sent you ?O Prophet? only as a deliverer of good news and a warner to all of humanity, but most people do not know.
- Saba’ Ayah 29وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٢٩ And they ask ?the believers?, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
- Saba’ Ayah 30قُل لَّكُم مِّيعَادُ يَوْمٍ لَّا تَسْتَــْٔخِرُونَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةً وَلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٣٠ Say, ?O Prophet,? “A Day has ?already? been appointed for you, which you can neither delay nor advance by a ?single? moment.”
- Saba’ Ayah 31وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَلَا بِٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ مَوْقُوفُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ٱلْقَوْلَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ لَوْلَآ أَنتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُؤْمِنِينَ ٣١ The disbelievers vow, “We will never believe in this Quran, nor in those ?Scriptures? before it.” If only you could see when the wrongdoers will be detained before their Lord, throwing blame at each other! The lowly ?followers? will say to the arrogant ?leaders?, “Had it not been for you, we would certainly have been believers.”
- Saba’ Ayah 32قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوٓاْ أَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنَـٰكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَكُمۖ بَلْ كُنتُم مُّجْرِمِينَ ٣٢ The arrogant will respond to the lowly, “Did we ever hinder you from guidance after it came to you? In fact, you were wicked ?on your own?.”
- Saba’ Ayah 33وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ بَلْ مَكْرُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذْ تَأْمُرُونَنَآ أَن نَّكْفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًاۚ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلْعَذَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلَ فِىٓ أَعْنَاقِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ٣٣ The lowly will say to the arrogant, “No! It was your plotting by day and night—when you ordered us to disbelieve in Allah and to set up equals with Him.” They will ?all? hide ?their? remorse when they see the torment. And We will put shackles around the necks of the disbelievers. Will they be rewarded except for what they used to do?
- Saba’ Ayah 34وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٣٤ Whenever We sent a warner to a society, its elite would say, “We truly reject what you have been sent with.”
- Saba’ Ayah 35وَقَالُواْ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ أَمْوَٲلاً وَأَوْلَـٰدًا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ ٣٥ Adding, “We are far superior ?to the believers? in wealth and children, and we will never be punished.”
- Saba’ Ayah 36قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٦ Say, ?O Prophet,? “Surely ?it is? my Lord ?Who? gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. But most people do not know.”
- Saba’ Ayah 37وَمَآ أَمْوَٲلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُم بِٱلَّتِى تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِندَنَا زُلْفَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَزَآءُ ٱلضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْغُرُفَـٰتِ ءَامِنُونَ ٣٧ It is not your wealth or children that bring you closer to Us. But those who believe and do good—it is they who will have a multiplied reward for what they did, and they will be secure in ?elevated? mansions.
- Saba’ Ayah 38وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِنَا مُعَـٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ ٣٨ As for those who strive to discredit Our revelations, it is they who will be confined in punishment.
- Saba’ Ayah 39قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥۚ وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُۖۥ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٲزِقِينَ ٣٩ Say, ?O Prophet,? “Surely ?it is? my Lord ?Who? gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. And whatever you spend in charity, He will compensate ?you? for it. For He is the Best Provider.”
- Saba’ Ayah 40وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ أَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِيَّاكُمْ كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ ٤٠ And ?consider? the Day He will gather them all together, and then ask the angels, “Was it you that these ?polytheists? used to worship?”
- Saba’ Ayah 41قَالُواْ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمۖ بَلْ كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ ٱلْجِنَّۖ أَكْثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤْمِنُونَ ٤١ They will say, “Glory be to You! Our loyalty is to You, not them. In fact, they ?only? followed the ?temptations of evil? jinn, in whom most of them had faith.”
- Saba’ Ayah 42فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ نَّفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا وَنَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ٤٢ So Today neither of you can benefit or protect each other. And We will say to the wrongdoers, “Taste the torment of the Fire, which you used to deny.”
- Saba’ Ayah 43وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ قَالُواْ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَقَالُواْ مَا هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًىۚ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ٤٣ When Our clear revelations are recited to them, they say, “This is only a man who wishes to hinder you from what your forefathers used to worship.” They also say, “This ?Quran? is no more than a fabricated lie.” And the disbelievers say of the truth when it has come to them, “This is nothing but pure magic.”
- Saba’ Ayah 44وَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّن كُتُبٍ يَدْرُسُونَهَاۖ وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرٍ ٤٤ ?They say so even though? We had never given them any scriptures to study, nor did We ever send them a warner before you ?O Prophet?.
- Saba’ Ayah 45وَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا بَلَغُواْ مِعْشَارَ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُواْ رُسُلِىۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ٤٥ Those ?destroyed? before them denied as well—and these ?Meccans? have not attained even one-tenth of what We had given their predecessors. Yet ?when? they denied My messengers, how severe was My response!
- Saba’ Ayah 46۞ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَعِظُكُم بِوَٲحِدَةٍۖ أَن تَقُومُواْ لِلَّهِ مَثْنَىٰ وَفُرَٲدَىٰ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُواْۚ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُم مِّن جِنَّةٍۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ لَّكُم بَيْنَ يَدَىْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ ٤٦ Say, ?O Prophet,? “I advise you to do ?only? one thing: stand up for ?the sake of? Allah—individually or in pairs—then reflect. Your fellow man is not insane. He is only a warner to you before ?the coming of? a severe punishment.”
- Saba’ Ayah 47قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ٤٧ Say, “If I had ever asked you for a reward, you could keep it. My reward is only from Allah. And He is a Witness over all things.”
