Saba
لَقَدۡ كَانَ لِسَبَاٍ فِيۡ مَسۡكَنِهِمۡ اٰيَةٌۚ جَنَّتٰنِ عَنۡ يَّمِيۡنٍ وَّشِمَالٍ ؕ كُلُوۡا مِنۡ رِّزۡقِ رَبِّكُمۡ وَاشۡكُرُوۡا لَهٗؕ بَلۡدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَّرَبٌّ غَفُوۡرٌ
There was for [the tribe of] Saba' in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], "Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord
فَاَعۡرَضُوۡا فَاَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَيۡلَ الۡعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلۡنٰهُمۡ بِجَنَّتَيۡهِمۡ جَنَّتَيۡنِ ذَوَاتَيۡ اُكُلٍ خَمۡطٍ وَّاَثۡلٍ وَّشَيۡءٍ مِّنۡ سِدۡرٍ قَلِيۡلٍ
But they turned away [refusing], so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and We replaced their two [fields of] gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees
ذٰلِكَ جَزَيۡنٰهُمۡ بِمَا كَفَرُوۡاؕ وَهَلۡ نُجٰزِيۡ٘ اِلَّا الۡكَفُوۡرَ
[By] that We repaid them because they disbelieved. And do We [thus] repay except the ungrateful
وَجَعَلۡنَا بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَبَيۡنَ الۡقُرَي الَّتِيۡ بٰرَكۡنَا فِيۡهَا قُرًي ظَاهِرَةً وَّقَدَّرۡنَا فِيۡهَا السَّيۡرَؕ سِيۡرُوۡا فِيۡهَا لَيَالِيَ وَاَيَّامًا اٰمِنِيۡنَ
And We placed between them and the cities which We had blessed [many] visible cities. And We determined between them the [distances of] journey, [saying], "Travel between them by night or day in safety
فَقَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا بٰعِدۡ بَيۡنَ اَسۡفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوۡ٘ا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ فَجَعَلۡنٰهُمۡ اَحَادِيۡثَ وَمَزَّقۡنٰهُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍؕ اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوۡرٍ
But [insolently] they said, "Our Lord, lengthen the distance between our journeys," and wronged themselves, so We made them narrations and dispersed them in total dispersion. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful
وَلَقَدۡ صَدَّقَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ اِبۡلِيۡسُ ظَنَّهٗ فَاتَّبَعُوۡهُ اِلَّا فَرِيۡقًا مِّنَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ
And Iblees had already confirmed through them his assumption, so they followed him, except for a party of believers
وَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ سُلۡطٰنٍ اِلَّا لِنَعۡلَمَ مَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ مِمَّنۡ هُوَ مِنۡهَا فِيۡ شَكٍّؕ وَرَبُّكَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ حَفِيۡظٌࣖ
And he had over them no authority except [it was decreed] that We might make evident who believes in the Hereafter from who is thereof in doubt. And your Lord, over all things, is Guardian
قُلِ ادۡعُوا الَّذِيۡنَ زَعَمۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِۚ لَا يَمۡلِكُوۡنَ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِي الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا لَهُمۡ فِيۡهِمَا مِنۡ شِرۡكٍ وَّمَا لَهٗ مِنۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ ظَهِيۡرٍ
Say, [O Muhammad], "Invoke those you claim [as deities] besides Allah." They do not possess an atom's weight [of ability] in the heavens or on the earth, and they do not have therein any partnership [with Him], nor is there for Him from among them any assistant
