Pickthall - English translation


Lo! as for thee (Muhammad), thou verily receivest the Qur'an from the presence of One Wise, Aware.

And there were gathered together unto Solomon his armies of the jinn and humankind, and of the birds, and they were set in battle order;

(The Queen of Sheba) said (when she received the letter): O chieftains! Lo! there hath been thrown unto me a noble letter.

Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful.

So, when she came, it was said (unto her): Is thy throne like this? She said: (It is) as though it were the very one. And (Solomon said): We were given the knowledge before her and we had surrendered (to Allah).

They said: Swear one to another by Allah that we verily will attack him and his household by night, and afterward we will surely say unto his friend: We witnessed not the destruction of his household. And lo! we are truthtellers.

Then We saved him and his household save his wife; We destined her to be of those who stayed behind.

And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be set in array;
