Verse 2

(27:2) a guidance and good tidings2 for the believers

(27:4) As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their
deeds seem attractive to them so they stumble around in perplexity.5

(27:6) As for you, (O Muhammad), you are receiving the Qur'an from the Most
Wise, the All-Knowing.7

(27:7) (Recount to them) when Moses said to his family:8 "I perceive
something like fire: soon will I bring to you some information from there, or
I will bring you a burning brand that you may warm yourselves."9

(27:8) But when Moses came to the fire, a call was sounded:0
"Blessed is He Who is in the fire and whatever is around it. Glory be to Allah,
the Sustainer of all in the Universe.1

(27:14) They denied those Signs out of iniquity and arrogance although their
hearts were convinced7 of their truth. So see how evil was the end
of those mischief-makers!

(27:19) Smiling at the ant's utterance, Solomon burst into laughter and said:
"My Lord! Hold me under (Your) control5 that I may render thanks
for the favour which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may
act righteously in a manner that would please You. Include me, out of Your Mercy,
among Your righteous servants."6

(27:21) I will inflict a severe punishment on him or maybe even slaughter
him unless he comes forth with a convincing reason (for his absence)."8

(27:24) I found that she and her people prostrate themselves before the sun
rather than Allah.0" Satan1 has made their deeds appear
attractive to them2 and has, thus, debarred them from the Right
Path so they do not find true guidance

(27:25) that they would prostrate themselves before Allah Who brings to light
all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth3 and knows all that
you conceal and all that you reveal.4

(27:31) (It says): "Do not act towards me with defiance, but come to me in
submission."7

(27:36) Now, when (the envoy of the Queen) came to Solomon, he said: "Do
you want to aid me with wealth? Whatever Allah has granted me is much more than
what He has given you.1 (Keep for yourselves) your gift in which
you are exulting.

(27:37) Envoy, go back to those who sent you and we shall certainly come
upon them with hosts2 whom they will be unable to resist. We shall
drive them out from there, and they will suffer humiliation and disgrace."

(27:40) And he who had some knowledge of the Book said: "I will bring it
before the twinkling of your eye."7 When Solomon saw the throne
placed firmly beside him, he cried out: "This is by the grace of my Lord so
that He may test me whether I give thanks for (His Bounty) or act with ingratitude.8
Whoever is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him
know that my Lord is Immensely Resourceful, Most Bountiful."9

(27:41) Solomon said:0" Set the throne before her casually, and
let us see whether she gets to the Truth or is one of those who are not guided
to what is right."1

(27:46) Salih said: "My people, why do you wish to hasten that evil rather
than good9 should come upon you? Why should you not seek pardon
from Allah so that mercy be shown to you?"

(27:49) They said: "Swear to one another in the name of Allah that we shall
make a sudden night swoop on Salih and his family and will then tell their heirs3
that we did not witness the destruction of his family. We are indeed truthful."4

(27:53) And We delivered those who believed and were wont to avoid disobeying
(Allah).

(27:54) We also sent Lot,7 and recall when he told his people:
"Do you commit shameless acts with your eyes open?8

(27:57) Eventually We saved (Lot) and his family, except his wife. We had
decreed that she should be among those who would remain behind.0

(27:58) And We rained down upon them a rain. It was an evil rain for those
who had already been warned.

(27:59) Say, (O Muhammad):1 "All praise be to Allah, and peace
be on those of His servants whom He has chosen." (Ask them): "Who is better:
Allah or the false gods that they associate with Him as His partners?2

(27:61) Who is it Who has made the earth a place of resort,4
and has caused rivers to flow in its midst, and has placed upon it firm mountains,
and has placed a barrier between two masses of water?5 Is there
any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Nay; but most of them do not
know.

(27:62) Who is it Who heeds the prayers of the distressed when he calls out
to Him and Who removes his affliction?6 And who is it Who makes
you vicegerents of the earth?7 Is there any god associated with
Allah (in this task)? How little do you reflect!

(27:64) Who is it Who creates in the first instance and then repeats it?0
Who is it Who provides you with sustenance from the heavens and the earth?1
Is there any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Say: "Bring forth your
evidence, if you are truthful."2

(27:67) The unbelievers say: "When we become dust, we and our forefathers,
shall we really be brought out (from our graves)?

(27:68) We were told about this and so were our forefathers before us. But
these are no more than fairy tales that have been recounted from ancient times."

(27:72) Say: "The chastisement whose hastening you have been asking for,
maybe a part of it has drawn quite near to you."9
Verse 77

(27:77) and it is a guidance and mercy for the believers.4

(27:83) Just imagine the Day when We shall muster from every nation a large
group of those who gave the lie to Our Signs, and they shall be duly arranged
in ranks

(27:84) until, when all of them have arrived, Allah will say: "Did you give
the lie to My Signs even without encompassing them with your knowledge?2
If that is not so, what did you do?"3

(27:85) And the Word will come to pass against them because of their wrong-doing:
they will then be able to utter nothing.
