Arabic
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ta-Sin. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. These are the Verses of the Qur'an, and (it is) a Book (that makes things) clear:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم طس ۚ تلك آيات القرآن وكتاب مبين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
A guide (to the Right Path) and glad tidings for the believers [who believe in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)].
Arabic, with marks
هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Arabic
هدى وبشرى للمؤمنين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter (resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell).
(Remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his household: "Verily I have seen a fire; I will bring you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand, that you may warm yourselves."
إذ قال موسى لأهله إني آنست نارا سآتيكم منها بخبر أو آتيكم بشهاب قبس لعلكم تصطلون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
But when he came to it, he was called: "Blessed is whosoever is in the fire, and whosoever is round about it! And glorified be Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
"And throw down your stick!" But when he saw it moving as if it were a snake, he turned in flight, and did not look back. (It was said:) "O Musa (Moses)! Fear not: verily the Messengers fear not in front of Me.
"And put your hand into your bosom, it will come forth white without hurt. (These are) among the nine signs (you will take) to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his people. Verily they are a people who are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat ) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of Allah in truth, but they disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-doers and liars.).
وجحدوا بها واستيقنتها أنفسهم ظلما وعلوا ۚ فانظر كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And indeed We gave knowledge to Dawud (David) and Sulaiman (Solomon), and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!"
ولقد آتينا داوود وسليمان علما ۖ وقالا الحمد لله الذي فضلنا على كثير من عباده المؤمنين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And Sulaiman (Solomon) inherited (the knowledge of) Dawud (David). He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."
وحشر لسليمان جنوده من الجن والإنس والطير فهم يوزعون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (Solomon) and his hosts should crush you, while they perceive not."
حتى إذا أتوا على واد النمل قالت نملة يا أيها النمل ادخلوا مساكنكم لا يحطمنكم سليمان وجنوده وهم لا يشعرون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
So he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves."
لأعذبنه عذابا شديدا أو لأذبحنه أو ليأتيني بسلطان مبين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
But the hoopoe stayed not long: he (came up and) said: "I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba' (Sheba) with true news.
إني وجدت امرأة تملكهم وأوتيت من كل شيء ولها عرش عظيم
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
"I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Shaitan (Satan) has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from (Allah's) Way: so they have no guidance."
وجدتها وقومها يسجدون للشمس من دون الله وزين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم فصدهم عن السبيل فهم لا يهتدون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
[As Shaitan (Satan) has barred them from Allah's Way] so they do not worship (prostrate themselves before) Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. [Tafsir At-Tabari]
قالوا نحن أولو قوة وأولو بأس شديد والأمر إليك فانظري ماذا تأمرين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
She said: "Verily kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it and make the most honourable amongst its people the lowest. And thus they do.
So when (the messengers with the present) came to Sulaiman (Solomon), he said: "Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!"
فلما جاء سليمان قال أتمدونن بمال فما آتاني الله خير مما آتاكم بل أنتم بهديتكم تفرحون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
[Then Sulaiman (Solomon) said to the chief of her messengers who brought the present]: "Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from there in disgrace, and they will be abased."
قال يا أيها الملأ أيكم يأتيني بعرشها قبل أن يأتوني مسلمين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
A 'Ifrit (strong one) from the jinn said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
قال عفريت من الجن أنا آتيك به قبل أن تقوم من مقامك ۖ وإني عليه لقوي أمين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord - to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself; and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly my Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), Bountiful."
قال الذي عنده علم من الكتاب أنا آتيك به قبل أن يرتد إليك طرفك ۚ فلما رآه مستقرا عنده قال هذا من فضل ربي ليبلوني أأشكر أم أكفر ۖ ومن شكر فإنما يشكر لنفسه ۖ ومن كفر فإن ربي غني كريم
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
He said: "Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognise her throne), or she will be one of those not guided."
قال نكروا لها عرشها ننظر أتهتدي أم تكون من الذين لا يهتدون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
So when she came, it was said (to her): "Is your throne like this?" She said: "(It is) as though it were the very same." And [Sulaiman (Solomon) said]: "Knowledge was bestowed on us before her, and we were submitted to Allah (in Islam as Muslims before her)."
وصدها ما كانت تعبد من دون الله ۖ إنها كانت من قوم كافرين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
It was said to her: "Enter As-Sarh" (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace): but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she (tucked up her clothes) uncovering her legs. (Sulaiman (Solomon)) said: "Verily, it is a Sarh (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace)." She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit [in Islam, together with Sulaiman (Solomon)] to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)."
قيل لها ادخلي الصرح ۖ فلما رأته حسبته لجة وكشفت عن ساقيها ۚ قال إنه صرح ممرد من قوارير ۗ قالت رب إني ظلمت نفسي وأسلمت مع سليمان لله رب العالمين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And indeed We sent to Thamud their brother Salih, saying: "Worship Allah (Alone and none else). Then look! They became two parties (believers and disbelievers) quarreling with each other."
ولقد أرسلنا إلى ثمود أخاهم صالحا أن اعبدوا الله فإذا هم فريقان يختصمون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
He said: "O my people! Why do you seek to hasten the evil (torment) before the good (Allah's Mercy)? Why seek you not the Forgiveness of Allah, that you may receive mercy?"
وكان في المدينة تسعة رهط يفسدون في الأرض ولا يصلحون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
They said: "Swear one to another by Allah that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his household, and thereafter we will surely say to his near relatives: 'We witnessed not the destruction of his household, and verily we are telling the truth.'"
And (remember) Lut (Lot)! When he said to his people. Do you commit Al-Fahishah (evil, great sin, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, sodomy) while you see (one another doing evil without any screen)?"
أئنكم لتأتون الرجال شهوة من دون النساء ۚ بل أنتم قوم تجهلون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
There was no other answer given by his people except that they said: "Drive out the family of Lut (Lot) from your city Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure!"
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Praise and thanks be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He has chosen (for His Message)! Is Allah better, or (all) that you ascribe as partners (to Him)?" (Of course, Allah is Better).
قل الحمد لله وسلام على عباده الذين اصطفى ۗ آلله خير أما يشركون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Is not He (better than your gods) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down for you water (rain) from the sky, whereby We cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not in your ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!
أمن خلق السماوات والأرض وأنزل لكم من السماء ماء فأنبتنا به حدائق ذات بهجة ما كان لكم أن تنبتوا شجرها ۗ أإله مع الله ۚ بل هم قوم يعدلون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Is not He (better than your gods) Who has made the earth as a fixed abode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet water)? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but most of them know not!
أمن جعل الأرض قرارا وجعل خلالها أنهارا وجعل لها رواسي وجعل بين البحرين حاجزا ۗ أإله مع الله ۚ بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Little is that you remember!
أمن يجيب المضطر إذا دعاه ويكشف السوء ويجعلكم خلفاء الأرض ۗ أإله مع الله ۚ قليلا ما تذكرون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Is not He (better than your gods) Who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy (rain)? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? High Exalted be Allah above all that they associate as partners (to Him)!
أمن يهديكم في ظلمات البر والبحر ومن يرسل الرياح بشرا بين يدي رحمته ۗ أإله مع الله ۚ تعالى الله عما يشركون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Is not He (better than your so-called gods) Who originates creation, and shall thereafter repeat it, and Who provides for you from heaven and earth? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Say: "Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful."
لقد وعدنا هذا نحن وآباؤنا من قبل إن هذا إلا أساطير الأولين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Say to them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) "Travel in the land and see how has been the end of the Mujrimun (criminals, those who denied Allah's Messengers and disobeyed Allah)."
Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear nor can you make the deaf to hear the call (i.e. benefit them and similarly the disbelievers), when they flee, turning their backs.
إنك لا تسمع الموتى ولا تسمع الصم الدعاء إذا ولوا مدبرين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Nor can you lead the blind out of their error. You can only make to hear those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and who have submitted (themselves to Allah in Islam as Muslims).
وما أنت بهادي العمي عن ضلالتهم ۖ إن تسمع إلا من يؤمن بآياتنا فهم مسلمون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And when the Word (of torment) is fulfilled against them, We shall bring out from the earth a beast for them, to speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayat (Verses of the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).
۞ وإذا وقع القول عليهم أخرجنا لهم دابة من الأرض تكلمهم أن الناس كانوا بآياتنا لا يوقنون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And (remember) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a troop of those who denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and (then) they (all) shall be driven (to the place of reckoning),
ويوم نحشر من كل أمة فوجا ممن يكذب بآياتنا فهم يوزعون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Till, when they come (before their Lord at the place of reckoning), He will say: "Did you deny My Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) whereas you comprehended them not by knowledge (of their truth or falsehood), or what (else) was it that you used to do?"
حتى إذا جاءوا قال أكذبتم بآياتي ولم تحيطوا بها علما أماذا كنتم تعملون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And the Word (of torment) will be fulfilled against them, because they have done wrong, and they will be unable to speak (in order to defend themselves).
See they not that We have made the night for them to rest therein, and the day sight-giving? Verily, in this are Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for the people who believe.
ألم يروا أنا جعلنا الليل ليسكنوا فيه والنهار مبصرا ۚ إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يؤمنون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And (remember) the Day on which the Trumpet will be blown - and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth, will be terrified except him whom Allah will (exempt). And all shall come to Him, humbled.
ويوم ينفخ في الصور ففزع من في السماوات ومن في الأرض إلا من شاء الله ۚ وكل أتوه داخرين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And you will see the mountains and think them solid, but they shall pass away as the passing away of the clouds. The Work of Allah, Who perfected all things, verily He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.
وترى الجبال تحسبها جامدة وهي تمر مر السحاب ۚ صنع الله الذي أتقن كل شيء ۚ إنه خبير بما تفعلون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
Whoever brings a good deed (i.e. Belief in the Oneness of Allah along with every deed of righteousness), will have better than its worth; and they will be safe from the terror on that Day.
من جاء بالحسنة فله خير منها وهم من فزع يومئذ آمنون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And whoever brings an evil deed (i.e. Shirk - polytheism, disbelief in the Oneness of Allah and every evil sinful deed), they will be cast down (prone) on their faces in the Fire. (And it will be said to them) "Are you being recompensed anything except what you used to do?"
ومن جاء بالسيئة فكبت وجوههم في النار هل تجزون إلا ما كنتم تعملون
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) have been commanded only to worship the Lord of this city (Makkah), Who has sanctified it and to Whom belongs everything. And I am commanded to be from among the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam).
إنما أمرت أن أعبد رب هذه البلدة الذي حرمها وله كل شيء ۖ وأمرت أن أكون من المسلمين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And that I should recite the Qur'an, then whosoever receives guidance, receives it for the good of his ownself; and whosoever goes astray, say (to him): "I am only one of the warners."
وأن أتلو القرآن ۖ فمن اهتدى فإنما يهتدي لنفسه ۖ ومن ضل فقل إنما أنا من المنذرين
Hilali & Muhsin Khan
And say [(O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to these polytheists and pagans.]: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah. He will show you His Ayat (signs, in yourselves, and in the universe or punishments), and you shall recognise them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do."
