Saba’

Ayah: 1

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَهُ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ

1. All praise be to Allāh 'alone', to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. His is 'all' praise in the Hereafter. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.

Ayah: 2

يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا يَخۡرُجُ مِنۡهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعۡرُجُ فِيهَاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٱلۡغَفُورُ

2. He knows all that penetrates into the earth, and all that comes out of it, all that descends from the heaven and all that ascends to it. He is the Most Merciful, the All-Forgiving.

Ayah: 3

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَأۡتِينَا ٱلسَّاعَةُۖ قُلۡ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّي لَتَأۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ لَا يَعۡزُبُ عَنۡهُ مِثۡقَالُ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَآ أَصۡغَرُ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكۡبَرُ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ

3. Those who deny 'the Truth' say: "The Hour 'of Doom' shall not come upon us." Say: "Yes indeed, by my Lord 'Allāh' - the Knower of the unseen, it will certainly come upon you." Not 'even' an atom's weight or less than that or greater escapes 'from His knowledge' in the heavens or in the earth, but 'all' is in a clear Register.

Ayah: 4

لِّيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَرِزۡقٞ كَرِيمٞ

4. So that He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds. These it is for whom is Forgiveness and an honorable sustenance 'in Paradise'.

Ayah: 5

وَٱلَّذِينَ سَعَوۡ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مُعَٰجِزِينَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ مِّن رِّجۡزٍ أَلِيمٞ

5. But those who strive hard in opposing Our revelations, 'seeking' to undermine them, they will have a scourge of painful torment.

Ayah: 6

وَيَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَيَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ

6. Those to whom the knowledge has been given1 see clearly that 'the Qur’an' which has been sent down to you 'O Muhammad' from your Lord is the Truth, and it guides to the Path of the All-Mighty,the Praiseworthy.

1. Of the Muslims and the true believers from among the People of the Scripture.

Ayah: 7

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلۡ نَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ يُنَبِّئُكُمۡ إِذَا مُزِّقۡتُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٍ

7. Those who deny 'the Truth' say 'mockingly to one another': "Shall we show you a man who will tell you that when you 'die and' are completely disintegrated within the earth, you will be created anew2?

2. I.e., resurrected for Judgment.
