آية رقم 1
An-Naml
Ṭâ-Sĩn. These are the verses of the Quran; the clear Book.
آية رقم 2
ﭙﭚﭛ

˹It is˺ a guide and good news for the believers:
آية رقم 3
˹those˺ who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and have sure faith in the Hereafter.
آية رقم 4
As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have certainly made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, so they wander blindly.
آية رقم 5
It is they who will suffer a dreadful torment, and in the Hereafter they will ˹truly˺ be the greatest losers.
آية رقم 6
And indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are receiving the Quran from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Knowing.
آية رقم 7
˹Remember˺ when Moses said to his family, “I have spotted a fire. I will either bring you some directions from there, or a burning torch so you may warm yourselves.”
آية رقم 8
But when he came to it, he was called ˹by Allah˺, “Blessed is the one at the fire, and whoever is around it! Glory be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.
آية رقم 9
ﮥﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪ
ﮫ
O Moses! It is truly I. I am Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.
آية رقم 10
Now, throw down your staff!” But when he saw it slithering like a snake, he ran away without looking back. ˹Allah reassured him,˺ “O Moses! Do not be afraid! Messengers should have no fear in My presence.
آية رقم 11
˹Fear is˺ only for those who do wrong. But if they later mend ˹their˺ evil ˹ways˺ with good, then I am certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
آية رقم 12
Now put your hand through ˹the opening of˺ your collar, it will come out ˹shining˺ white, unblemished. ˹These are two˺ of nine signs for Pharaoh and his people. They have truly been a rebellious people.”
آية رقم 13
But when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is pure magic.”
آية رقم 14
And, although their hearts were convinced the signs were true, they still denied them wrongfully and arrogantly. See then what was the end of the corruptors!
آية رقم 15
Indeed, We granted knowledge to David and Solomon. And they said ˹in acknowledgment˺, “All praise is for Allah Who has privileged us over many of His faithful servants.”
آية رقم 16
And David was succeeded by Solomon, who said, “O people! We have been taught the language of birds, and been given everything ˹we need˺. This is indeed a great privilege.”
آية رقم 17
Solomon’s forces of jinn, humans, and birds were rallied for him, perfectly organized.
آية رقم 18
And when they came across a valley of ants, an ant warned, “O ants! Go quickly into your homes so Solomon and his armies do not crush you, unknowingly.”
آية رقم 19
So Solomon smiled in amusement at her words, and prayed, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You have blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please you. Admit me, by Your mercy, into ˹the company of˺ Your righteous servants.”
آية رقم 20
˹One day˺ he inspected the birds, and wondered, “Why is it that I cannot see the hoopoe? Or could he be absent?
آية رقم 21
I will surely subject him to a severe punishment, or ˹even˺ slaughter him, unless he brings me a compelling excuse.”
آية رقم 22
It was not long before the bird came and said, “I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba with sure news.
آية رقم 23
Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne.
آية رقم 24
I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them—hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided—
آية رقم 25
so they do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you ˹all˺ conceal and what you reveal.
آية رقم 26
˹He is˺ Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”
آية رقم 27
Solomon said, “We will see whether you are telling the truth or lying.
آية رقم 28
Go with this letter of mine and deliver it to them, then stand aside and see how they will respond.”
آية رقم 29
The Queen ˹later˺ announced, “O chiefs! Indeed, a noble letter has been delivered to me.
آية رقم 30
It is from Solomon, and it reads: ‘In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
آية رقم 31
ﮯﮰﮱﯓﯔ
ﯕ
Do not be arrogant with me, but come to me, fully submitting ˹to Allah˺.’”
آية رقم 32
She said, “O chiefs! Advise me in this matter of mine, for I would never make any decision without you.”
آية رقم 33
They responded, “We are a people of strength and great ˹military˺ might, but the decision is yours, so decide what you will command.”
آية رقم 34
She reasoned, “Indeed, when kings invade a land, they ruin it and debase its nobles. They really do so!
آية رقم 35
But I will certainly send him a gift, and see what ˹response˺ my envoys will return with.”
آية رقم 36
When the chief-envoy came to him, Solomon said, “Do you offer me wealth? What Allah has granted me is far greater than what He has granted you. No! It is you who rejoice in ˹receiving˺ gifts.
آية رقم 37
Go back to them, for we will certainly mobilize against them forces which they can never resist, and we will drive them out from there in disgrace, fully humbled.”
آية رقم 38
Solomon asked, “O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me in ˹full˺ submission?”
آية رقم 39
One mighty jinn responded, “I can bring it to you before you rise from this council of yours. And I am quite strong and trustworthy for this ˹task˺.”
آية رقم 40
But the one who had knowledge of the Scripture said, “I can bring it to you in the blink of an eye.” So when Solomon saw it placed before him, he exclaimed, “This is by the grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. But whoever is ungrateful, surely my Lord is Self-Sufficient, Most Generous.”
آية رقم 41
˹Then˺ Solomon said, “Disguise her throne for her so we may see whether she will recognize ˹it˺ or she will not be able to.”
آية رقم 42
So when she arrived, it was said ˹to her˺, “Is your throne like this?” She replied, “It looks to be the same. We have ˹already˺ received knowledge ˹of Solomon’s prophethood˺ before this ˹miracle˺, and have submitted ˹to Allah˺.”
آية رقم 43
But she had been hindered by what she used to worship instead of Allah, for she was indeed from a disbelieving people.
آية رقم 44
Then she was told, “Enter the palace.” But when she saw the hall, she thought it was a body of water, so she bared her legs. Solomon said. “It is just a palace paved with crystal.” ˹At last˺ she declared, “My Lord! I have certainly wronged my soul. Now I ˹fully˺ submit myself along with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.”
آية رقم 45
And We certainly sent to the people of Thamûd their brother Ṣâliḥ, proclaiming, “Worship Allah,” but they suddenly split into two opposing groups.
آية رقم 46
He urged ˹the disbelieving group˺, “O my people! Why do you ˹seek to˺ hasten the evil rather than the good? If only you sought Allah’s forgiveness so you may be shown mercy!”
آية رقم 47
They replied, “You and your followers are a bad omen for us.” He responded, “Your omens are destined by Allah. In fact, you are ˹only˺ a people being tested.”
آية رقم 48
And there were in the city nine ˹elite˺ men who spread corruption in the land, never doing what is right.
آية رقم 49
They vowed, “Let us swear by Allah that we will take him and his family down by night. Then we will certainly say to his ˹closest˺ heirs, ‘We did not witness the murder of his family. We are definitely telling the truth.’”
آية رقم 50
And ˹so˺ they made a plan, but We too made a plan, while they were unaware.
آية رقم 51
See then what the consequences of their plan were: We ˹utterly˺ destroyed them and their people all together.
آية رقم 52
So their homes are there, ˹but completely˺ ruined because of their wrongdoing. Surely in this is a lesson for people of knowledge.
آية رقم 53
ﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛ
ﯜ
And We delivered those who were faithful and were mindful ˹of Allah˺.
آية رقم 54
And ˹remember˺ Lot, when he rebuked ˹the men of˺ his people, “Do you commit that shameful deed while you can see ˹one another˺?
آية رقم 55
Do you really lust after men instead of women? In fact, you are ˹only˺ a people acting ignorantly.”
آية رقم 56
But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel Lot’s followers from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”
آية رقم 57
So We delivered him and his family, except his wife. We had destined her to be one of the doomed.
آية رقم 58
And We poured upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned!
آية رقم 59
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the servants He has chosen.” ˹Ask the disbelievers,˺ “Which is better: Allah or whatever ˹gods˺ they associate ˹with Him˺?”
آية رقم 60
Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down rain for you from the sky, by which We cause delightful gardens to grow? You could never cause their trees to grow. Was it another god besides Allah? Absolutely not! ˹But˺ they are a people who set up equals ˹to Allah˺!”
آية رقم 61
Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who made the earth a place of settlement, caused rivers to flow through it, placed firm mountains upon it, and set a barrier between ˹fresh and salt˺ bodies of water? Was it another god besides Allah? Absolutely not! ˹But˺ most of them do not know.”
آية رقم 62
Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah? Yet you are hardly mindful!”
آية رقم 63
Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who guides you in the darkness of the land and sea, and sends the winds ushering in His mercy? Is it another god besides Allah? Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!
آية رقم 64
Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who originates the creation then resurrects it, and gives you provisions from the heavens and the earth? Is it another god besides Allah?” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Show ˹me˺ your proof, if what you say is true.”
آية رقم 65
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “None in the heavens and the earth has knowledge of the unseen except Allah. Nor do they know when they will be resurrected.
آية رقم 66
No! Their knowledge of the Hereafter amounts to ignorance. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In truth, they are ˹totally˺ blind to it.
آية رقم 67
The disbelievers ask, “When we and our fathers are reduced to dust, will we really be brought forth ˹alive˺?
آية رقم 68
We have already been promised this, as well as our forefathers earlier. This is nothing but ancient fables!”
آية رقم 69
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Travel throughout the land and see the fate of the wicked.”
آية رقم 70
Do not grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes.
آية رقم 71
They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
آية رقم 72
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is close at hand.”
آية رقم 73
Surely your Lord is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful.
آية رقم 74
And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.
آية رقم 75
For there is nothing hidden in the heavens or the earth without being ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.
آية رقم 76
Indeed, this Quran clarifies for the Children of Israel most of what they differ over.
آية رقم 77
ﭑﭒﭓﭔ
ﭕ
And it is truly a guide and mercy for the believers.
آية رقم 78
Your Lord will certainly judge between them by His justice, for He is the Almighty, All-Knowing.
آية رقم 79
So put your trust in Allah, for you are surely upon the ˹Path of˺ clear truth.
آية رقم 80
You certainly cannot make the dead hear ˹the truth˺. Nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs and walk away.
آية رقم 81
Nor can you lead the blind out of their misguidance. You can make none hear ˹the truth˺ except those who believe in Our revelations, ˹fully˺ submitting ˹to Allah˺.
آية رقم 82
And when the decree ˹of the Hour˺ comes to pass against them, We will bring forth for them a beast from the earth, telling them that the people had no sure faith in Our revelations.
آية رقم 83
˹Watch for˺ the Day We will gather from every faith-community a group of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be driven in ranks.
آية رقم 84
When they ˹finally˺ come before their Lord, He will ask ˹them˺, “Did you deny My revelations without ˹even˺ comprehending them? Or what ˹exactly˺ did you do?”
آية رقم 85
And the decree ˹of torment˺ will be justified against them for their wrongdoing, leaving them speechless.
آية رقم 86
Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest in and the day bright? Surely in this are signs for those who believe.
آية رقم 87
And ˹beware of˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and all those in the heavens and all those on the earth will be horrified ˹to the point of death˺, except those Allah wills ˹to spare˺. And all will come before Him, fully humbled.
آية رقم 88
Now you see the mountains, thinking they are firmly fixed, but they are travelling ˹just˺ like clouds. ˹That is˺ the design of Allah, Who has perfected everything. Surely He is All-Aware of what you do.
آية رقم 89
Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better, and they will be secure from the horror on that Day.
آية رقم 90
And whoever comes with an evil deed will be hurled face-first into the Fire. Are you rewarded except for what you used to do?
آية رقم 91
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city ˹of Mecca˺, Who has made it sacred, and to Him belongs everything. And I am commanded to be one of those who ˹fully˺ submit ˹to Him˺,
آية رقم 92
and to recite the Quran.” Then whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. But whoever chooses to stray, say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I am only a warner.”
آية رقم 93
And say, “All praise is for Allah! He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.”
